Yes I've tried that before but prefer when they are open splits to allow fresh air to them, the picture isnt the greatest but this was the other day and they are still as bad

Oh crumbs that must be so sore, totally get that you need to keep them out in the air. Is that because they are so dry or because of all the washing, or possibly a mixture of both. How are your managing with your hand washing? x

they really are :( a mixture of both, hand washing is ok as long as I ament stressed during the process, if I get distracted or whatever then I start the whole process over again and will continue that way until I finally feel I've had the time and concentration to do it properly :( it's not easy when there's dogs barking outside, Bubbles being a nuisance, neighbours making a lot of noise or my mum disturbing me but even though I ask for just a few minutes she wont oblige so I have to try and get on while feeling very uncomfortable, I don't expect anyone to understand but to do as I ask I don't see a problem with xx

7.6 today which is disappointing as have been very good with my food choices but will just carry on and hope it improves. My colleague at work had a fall and has two fractures of her hip, bless her, so may have to go in to work a bit more often. Nothing more to say really except ‘stay a lert’ and don’t be taking anti malaria drugs like that idiot Trump, he’s definitely ‘a lert’!!!

He’s quite probably not taking the hydrochloroquine anyway. It’s quite likely that he’s just said he is because he has business interests involved in the manufacture of... hydrochloroquine.

Yes well you can't believe a word that man says - thank goodness I don't live in America!!
 
Could you imagine being his doctor and having to wrestle with your conscience vs your Hippocratic oath?
 
Good evening folks what a long day, 5.9 could feel it dropping but didn`t go below 4+ and there it stayed for most of the day never above 5. Lidl`s was very quiet but seafront very busy,:( bit of trouble with phone/broadband, first thing I knew was Open Reach/BT turned up and started digging a hole out in the front of the complex.😱 Next thing I know no phone no broadband,o_O I went down to talk with engineer and he told me there is a dry junction going into your apartments. I thought ok I am aware of that problem dealing with electronic fuel injection for many years it was a common problem, it was all done within an hour well done guys.:D

I see Donald Trump is very topical at the moment🙄 and every other day, I hope he catches Malaria, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis and runs out of tablets or better still depart this world.😎:D Lots to read yet on the forum so catch up with you folks later, its only 25.C inside at the moment so may have to wear my Jim jams tonight.o_O

Take care folks sleep if you are able if not stay awake but most of all stay safe.🙂

Do you happen to have any cotton gloves - I've heard that if you cover your hands in hand cream/emollient and then wear cotton gloves it really helps moisturise and soften them. Mind you if you have splits in your hand they probably need the air to help them heal - oh can't win really. Hope you're ok x

I wear the bamboo ones. Seem to work for me.

Ouch @Kaylz. I know what you mean, if you feel you haven’t concentrated on washing your hands. I used to check my wardrobe and under the bed loads of times until I felt I’d got it ‘right’. Nightmare!o_O

It's honestly so stressful if someone or something puts me off and I feel the need to start again, I can go 4-5 times in 1 visit to the sink, I know concentration and time is key but even though I ask my mum doesn't oblige and allow so I feel rushed etc, may I ask have you worked past that checking? if so what were your strategies? I'm bad with the fridge my insulin is in too, I'll check that over and over again to make sure it's properly closed ever since my mum left it open! xx
 
Evening all. My bg's have been in the 9 and 10s, worrying but self-inflicted. I wish I had the willpower to do the Newcastle Diet or any diet come to that. My temperature is raging again. Can high bg's cause a high temperature? I keep burning up every so often and I'm proper crook at the minute. Still getting in the garden though and catching up with Chelsea. 🙂 Stay safe all.
 
Morning all,
@Michael12421 its seems a constant battle waking up and wondering what the number is?
Yesterday for me, I worked most of the day outside, it was hot, tiring and I ate reasonably well. Went to bed early on a 6.1 and woke up to a 6.2.
Other days it has been in the 5's.
Seems doubly hard for all T1's...
The mysteries of BG!

Blessings Snowwy
 
04:31 BS 8.6 🙂 Again not waking as it’s actually 2 hours after my 2nd meal of my, in italics, day!o_O

I got up at 14:02 yesterday afternoon BS 7.2 🙂 Getting lower & heading in the right direction: my, in italics, day before’s waking was BS 8.4 I got less sleep yesterday than the day before & I estimate I can stay up until about 20:00 to 21:00 with a short pause for midnight Levemir & be back to normal waking time tomorrow: I’m almost there; I can report a proper waking BS reading again!🙂

Since the change of splitting my Levemir doses 12 hours apart I have an extra anchor that helps me to adjust faster: took me 4 days after sleeping all of Saturday being only awake long enough to eat; & most of Sunday as I had a short day of 8 hours awake. Without that extra anchor it used to take me 7/8 days to adjust! 😱

You know that youtube video that Golf Clash posted as The Shot of the Week, I posted on here, it inspired me to practice that shot as well known as a power hook/slice: hook to the left; slice to the right. It took me a while to get the hang of it & still haven’t been able to give it the full hook/slice but, I DID manage to ALMOST get my own HIO Albatross: too much power & popped back out of the hole: less top spin would have holed it! I spent most of last night, learning by trial & error being SUCH an IT dunderhead, to learn to create my own youtube channel so, I can upload videos of my best Golf Clash shots. So, here is my almost HIO Albatross that I didn’t think I was capable of: a bit more practice; a bit of luck too & I hope to get it some time! Fingers crossed emoji! & Two hands together saying “please” emoji!


A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉:D😎
 
5,1 this sunny morning.

Rearrange these letters to form a well-known phrase or saying and do it!!

STALE TRAY

Hi Jan, in the absence of other symptoms and when your BG is high, I would say yes, it can cause high temperature - I used to get this a lot when I was newly-diagnosed and my levels could go as high as 30 sometimes 😱 I would get extremely hot but it would then pass as I got lower. If it persists though, it might be worth giving the GP a call 🙂 Hope things settle for you soon 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 5.9 for me today 🙂 Managed to book an ASDA slot which ought to give me sustenance for a few more weeks 🙂 Slots are still very much booked up though, this was the only one in the next two weeks and it looks like it might be one that someone had let expire. Anxious times :(
 
Morning All, it's a 5.7 from me this morning hope you all have a good day in this world of ours
 
6.7 today, off to work shortly. Consultant call after today, cancelled from Monday, let’s hope it happens this time.
Congratulations Captain SIR Tom Moore 🙂 🙂
Have a good day all x

Checking - it drives me nuts! No strategy really, I just kept / keep on doing it. My OCD is pretty mild, it causes obsessive thoughts more than obsessive actions. It got really bad before I was diagnosed with diabetes - I put it down to my BG being high. It’s tough, cos other people don’t understand what you’re going thru. ((((Hugs))))) At least there are kind folks like the woman that brought round some hand cream for you.

Morning folks. 🙂 5.4 here.

Well, assignments done n dusted (does happy dance). Watch out weeds, you’re top of my to do list.:D
