Good Morning Everyone 🙂 Hmm Bloods this morning >> 7.8 , not as bad as they have been some mornings but still toooo high !!
I'm just waiting for Tesco (bit of free advertising there 😉) to deliver my shopping , I ended up cancelling my Asda delivery as they couldn't decide when they could be bothered delivering it >>> although I'd booked and paid for Sunday 🙄 thats over ?80 of my money they have lost out on ! hehe Once I finally have some food in the house I can avoid some Glucose Dumps!! bl**dy things.

I hope you are all having a good day so far , Twin , good levels I hope ? Munjeeta , I hope things are settling down and you are managing things easier this week at school. Ross >> you still on the Bacon and Eggs?
Tracey , hope you and your Pump are doing well today and nooo Bubbles 🙂 and HELLO to any lurkers !! feel free to come in and post , ask questions or just debate !!

Wow Adsa missed out there, how stupid of them. Has Tesco yet AM?

I woke to 7.6 so not bad. Had to correct in the end last night because I suddenly shot up to 16.6 🙄 But at least it has come back down again.

Think it's time for some breakfast lol.

Hiya Twin , Tesco were here just after 9am 🙂 Wooooo !!! I've got my Prawns !!

Hmm I've just corrected an 11.6 I think my Basal is playing silly buggers >> a-bloody-gain 😡 some tweaking is needed I think . Hmm Breakfast , I'm not at all hungry now I have lots of food in the house. I have just eaten a piece of Liquorice though Mmmm .

woo finally!

did it raise from 7.6 to 11.6 with no food? That seems to happen to me too If I get up early for work or whatever and test when I wake up and then test when I get to work im suddenly higher than I should be, grr! I can only assume it's that morning glucose dump thing (cant think what it's called). Maybe it's better to eat when you get the good reading but I dont always feel like eating at 7.30!🙄

mmm liquorice

You on about the Dawn Phenon Twin? , it might be or I may need to higher my Basal >>> again 🙄 Yeah I know , I never want to eat at 7am
Yes it went from 7.8 >>10.3 >> 11.6 then I corrected

but otherwise yeah, up the basal again lol.

It's so unfair

if levels good prior I'd probably only take 2or 4 depends how much I was having, had 3 eggs scrambled today and only took 2. I think I seem to need less in the morning as I'm more active first thing getting to work etc.

I know you mentioned before you are finding you are needing more insulin, is that a gradual thing after a few years do you think?
Well done on working ratios out too, heard (?)you chatting to Tom I should do something like that instead of guessing rounding up or down and adding x!!

cool, thats about how much I take when I havent really had any carbs in the meal.

Yes Ive had to up my breakfast ratio Im not sure why. It might be because im not very active in the mornings at the moment. Next time i have a hospital appointment I'm going to ask why They wont have a clue but worth an ask to hear what they have to say for themselves hehe.

Did you go on a DAFNE type course or learn carb counting on your own?

lol actually that could be it 😱 How many did you have before you corrected? remember my thread about tea and coffee? if i have loads i think it makes me rise 🙄 cant win lol.

hmm it maybe it is the coffee , I did have about 4 of them hehe 😉

hehehe wow you drink alot! that must be like having a smoking habbit with the cost of coffee 😱 (I buy the expensive stuff ).

You just have milk dont you? there probably would be enough carbs in it to push you up a bit actually. Possibly could be caffeine interfering too?!

Yes I have Skimmed Milk in Coffee , I do like it Black so maybe I'll try that tomorrow and see what happens 😉 if I still rise its my Basal , if I don't its the Carbs in the Milk

Self taught!! Haha that makes it sound like I'm talented! Which I am not, it's more guestimation with a random factor but I seem to be on a good wave generally so far, and no major morning dumps you girls talk about, I guess you ladies have more hormones??? You should ask to go on one again when you come back from Aus, if you are coming back!! I will aim to go on one maybe next year maybe depends on if hospital near new home is any good.

How come you didnt go on a course? after you were diagnosed what did they tell you to do?? I went straight on a course and was told to carb count, thankfully. You could work out your basic ratio based on what you take at the moment. do a sort of reverse sum and see what ratio youve been using.

Yeah maybe we do have hormones getting in the way?! no idea really. Maybe I should check out the diabetes specialists in aus and see if they are any better
