Morning all 3.2 , who knows? I’m guessing too many hypos over the last few days.
@Ditto I reckon falling on your front is the least worse option of a poor choice- at least you have a chance of breaking your fall and/or your wrist/nose!
Morning all. 7.8 from me this morning. Reduced basal back down last night, not sure whether that gave me overnight hypo the night before (seeing as i'd gone to bed o 8.4). Anyway will see what levels are like today. Hopefully better as its cool, cloudy and breezy here this morning. Have a good day everyone
6.1 this morning and getting really cheese off with my blocked ears. I’ve ordered drops which will arrive today so hopefully I’ll be able to hear clearly again soon.
Friend asked me to help him move a washing machine yesterday as he wanted to figure out why it wasn’t working. Silly moo wasn’t actually turning it on with the huge switch marked START.
Rain forecast today, not much but it should last all day so will cool things down.
Interview booked for Monday. Which is great as I’m out for breakfast tomorrow with the friend who’s interviewing me! It’ll be the first food I’ve eaten out so I’m hoping I’ll find an combo which meets the brief. 🙂
7.2 today . Still no rain or thunder etc. Can’t get the dog out at all so expecting something soon. Eyes playing up again, had stopped the lotion for my eyelids but tried again last night, shouldn’t have bothered, will go back to just holding a warm flannel on them.
Well done @Baz. your result is just great, all your readings are always really good, I hope you are proud of yourself x @Flower we need to wrap you in bubble wrap to try and keep you safe. Good luck for today x @ColinUK hope your ears clear soon.
Have a good day everyone x
The dog was right, it’s bucketing. Tom Jones playing full blast to block out the noise, good job there’s nobody around me at the moment. No thunder which is a bonus
The unpredictability of diabetes....
Yesterday after breakfast my BS only went up by 2. Today, after the same breakfast and similar level of activity its gone up by almost 5 and is only just starting to come back down!!! Ggrrrerrrr
So here is the news...
After my first 6 month check, the DN informs me my HbA1c has gone down from 51 to 40!
Kidney and liver functions all good and cholesterol is now 2.6.
BMI is 23.
If I manage the next check in 6 months at the same number, they will consider it in remission.
I guess that's up to me then.
All on no medication... (but I still can't play the piano!)
