02:29 BS 13.1 Just got back exhausted from A&E when I had abdominal pains on my left side due to my digestive system being blocked for about 36 hours! 😱

Forgot to check in on Monday, yesterday now for you lot in bed, but, STILL Monday for me!😳

The problems started after eating breakfast on Sunday & never ate lunch or anything else much, apart from half oatcakes to take with insulin, when I felt that familiar abdominal pain & knew my digestive system was blocked again. So, Spent the rest of Sunday writhing on the bed but, managed to sleep Sunday night! I got through most of Monday with STILL no relief in sight & not being able to sleep at all I threw in the towel & went to A&E just after 22:00. My BS had already started to rise slowly on Sunday & on Monday woke on 20.0mmol Upped all doses & had Novorapid roughly every 4/5 hours along with half an oatcake, got lower BS throughout the day: 16.6, 14.3 12.8 & 11.2 around 22:15 to 22:30 at A&E. Dried heaved a couple of times throughout the day but, having eaten hardly anything, there was nothing to come up. A&E gave me 2 strong painkillers when I was seen by triage as It could be 3.5 hours before being seen by a doctor: turned out to be 2 hours; fell asleep, at last, with the edge of the pain taken off & had a very numb bum from the hard chair! Was the very last person to be seen by doctors as the were a lot of football match injuries with a broken collar bone & various limping football players that took a while to clear AND 6 police officers: on a Monday night; some kind of a ruckus occurred!😱

But, eventually seen & was given Laxido powder sachets, 2 in water 3 times a day for 3 to 5 days depending on when I get relief! Doctor also said I need to see my GP for more if needed as I got 1 box of 20 & discuss about maybe needing to take them on a regular or semi regular basis given my ongoing liver problems & difficulty in digesting fats?

I took my midnight Levemir while still waiting to be seen by which time BS had risen to 15.6 & since I wasn’t home yet & still not sure how long a wait, only had 4 units of Novorapid to be on the safe side: don’t want to risk a hypo as I forgot to take oatcakes with me!

The irony is I’m not in much pain anymore & there are signs that relief is on the way! So, will get some much needed sleep now & start taking the laxatives in the morning: don’t want to start running to the loo when trying to sleep tonight; my complexion is grey enough from sheer exhaustion & lack of sleep! I need to recharge my batteries & feel I CAN sleep at last!🙄

I wish you all a Very Good Morning, coming up, & hope you all have a Wonderful Day!😉

I’m off now to get some much needed z’s! Eyes closed with a stream of z’s emoji!
 
Morning folks. @Lanny hope you are in the land of nod at the moment 6am and feel better when you wake. Dreadful day at work yesterday, so hot in my little room and busier than ever just overwhelmed with urgent work. My calf, ankle and foot has swollen due to a mozzie bite, they lurve me. Got one of the drs to have a look who said to out hydrocortisone on that one. I have loads, all on one side, they are driving me nuts. Have taken an antihistamine as well to try and stop me scratching. Have dentist and hygienist later, am dreading that. Eyes still playing up so feeling a tad fed up at the mo.
Anyhow 6.3 for me today and off again to face my stuffy room and bucket loads of work. It’s 27 on my thermometer at the moment so probably going to be another hot one. Have a good one all xx
 
Morning All, 4.8 for me this morning , had a bit of a rough night here due to all the thunder & lighting and rain we had in Barrow
 
Morning all,
A steamy 6.0 here in Sussex and 19 degrees outside.
Trying to get a change of air in the house atm but not sure if it's any fresher. Can I summon the energy for a run at 7...

Blessings Snowwy

Same in North Cumbria @Baz. started about midnight and peaked about 3am. The lightning was that bright we could see it with our eyes closed! Then seconds later mega loud thunder and torrential rain.

Morning yawing, 5,8 today. Never ate a thing after about 3pm yesterday. The weather behaved itself for my garden lunch. We had a great time, three courses! I made the starters and main and one friend brought the pudding. One bottle of champagne and one of Prosecco was also put away. Ah well, you only live once and we haven’t been together since last June. Fab day. Today I’m relaxing, haven’t slept well, hot and sticky and thunder and lightning aren’t good bedfellows. Have a fab day all. 🙂

Morning all. 🙂 7.2 here...too much oj at 3am to fix a hypo, oops.

Got my shopping fix yesterday. Every time I left a shop, the heavens opened and I got soaked. 😳🙂By the time I got home for lunch, it was SCORCHIO and I spent the afternoon indoors sweating. Nuts! In fact, it was the exact same weather we usually get in Northern Spain in August.:D

Hope you’re feeling better @Lanny.
 
Morning all, I've done it again, another HS. Don’t get any for ages and three come along in under a week.
Did a 7mile walk yesterday, punctuated by lunch, and planning same today, but in the opposite direction. Son is staycationing with us this week, so we’re all pretending we are on hol. (he should have been at a friend's wedding in Turkey, now postponed til next year)

5.5
 
Morning

Well Bruce managed to bring up a box of cat food, his juice, mum's juice and my cake bars yesterday, got another Morrison's delivery due tonight between 10-11pm to stock up on things I regularly need while they are on promotion

Been suffering with a headache for 3 days now, close to the point of tears with it, a mix of the stuffyness, heat and neighbours thumping loud music to blame I think, think if we had some thunder and lightening to clear the air it would do me the world of good too but I won't hold my breathe for that!

Extra needle for me today, due my contraceptive so I'll get that ready to do in about an hour

Anyways its a 5.5 for me this morning

Have a lovely day folks and stay safe
xx
 
8.6 again for me today. Had high readings all day yesterday, even corrections not working. Levels up to 13 overnight but dropped back down. I'm assuming its this heat so i'll up basal tonight, see what happens. Temperature 31° today, supposed to feel like 37°. Steamy
Keep hydrated and cool everyone x
 
5.6 this morning after a nice flat line overnight.

@Robin you are getting greedy now. Well done on that HS.

A busy day and already running a little late.
Have a good day all.
 
Morning all, 8.3 for me today. Dreading work today as we had another major fridge breakdown overnight. Loads more wasted food to be binned. We've probably wasted approximately £100,000 of food since last Friday due to fridge breakdowns! South Essex Wildlife hospital may get another phone call to come and collect what they can for the animals in their care.
 
7.1 this morning. Am hoping to do very little today, bit already need to go to the pharmacy and take Alice into town,not to mention my weekly social zoom meeting with my team at work. My phone tells me this time last year we were in Cyprus and kindly shows me photos of us in the pool and sea. If I close my eyes it feels like I am there, shame about the lack of pool though...
 
Well done @Robin on the HS
5.1 for me (so near and yet so far) 🙂
Stay safe and well.

Dez
