Of having dodgy readings :( nearly always happens on a Sunday either one way or the other seriously stressing me out :( x
 
Kaylz, are we talking dangerously out of range numbers or just ones you'd rather not have? What do you think is different on a Sunday? Is it a particularly stressful day for some reason?

No no not dangerously out of range say if I wake low I'm either in the 7's pre lunch or I'm in the 4's or 5.0 pre lunch but near 7 at dinner, yet if I'm in the 7's pre lunch I'm down in the 5's without a correction by dinner, no not stressful at all, I don't know if maybe I've had a dump with waking low or what or if 15 minutes before lunch is a bit too much to pre bolus when I'm sitting at 5.0 or 4.8 just getting so annoying as that's the day I enjoy lunch the most :( x

Currently I don't know they were 7.2 pre dinner at half 4, not checking until about 10 to 10 when I'm due my tresiba been shopping and that though so hopefully they won't be too bad although got stressed there as asda only had one thing on my list for there :( they did have that new range of green and blacks but they only had 2 different flavoured bars and I would prefer the bags or boxes of the individual squares lol x
 
Did you still eat this evening? I would have bolused, just waited and then eaten, for me your experience is part of what I expect. I just adjust and carry on.
Tell me more about new range, what flavours did you buy?
Sorry it has been so stressful, maybe extra treat is on the cards!

Yes I still ate but only pre bolused but 10 minutes as I find that works best using my stomach, it's just frustrating that it's almost every Sunday and I don't know what I'm doing wrong I didn't buy any as as I said I would rather have the individual squares, no extra treat either not if i can't even get my lunch correct x
 
You don't need me to tell you that this isn't really about the diabetes Kaylz because it's pretty damm perfect in terms of control and your levels. This sounds to be about anything deviating outside of the tight control your psychological issues impose on you. You can't bear things to change without an explanation. Even the rather minor issue of the shop not having the individual chocolates you rely on to rigidly control your carb counting has thrown you.

Trouble is not everything is so neat, controlled or even explainable in diabetes and you are continuing to beat yourself up big time over every individual carb. I know you're waiting for some psychological help and I hope you get it soon. Have your other OCD rituals starting ramping up as a matter of interest?

It wasn't that it was to rigidly control my carb count as I've never even had them before I just prefer squares rather than making a mess trying to break up a bar, I'm not very successful in that lol, yes they have kicked in again unfortunately my worst being washing my hands all the time to the point where I have splits between my fingers :( x
