Just going to take my bath before bed!

Slept semi uncomfortably with a firey throat & I woke up a little cold. I was sneezing in the bathroom so, had heater on for 15mins this morning! Breathing was easier once I was upright & had a slight headache at times but, not a bad day! Still had to take the blue inhaler, for attacks, along with my brown inhaler, everyday, to ease breathing & hopefully sleeping will be more comfortable tonight! Will take the two inhalers when I get out of the bath before lying down. Better control of BS today, albeit with extra bolus insulin!

Goodnight all! 🙂
 
Thanks, @scousebird! But, I think my cold is transioning from the head to the chest! Throat not fiery anymore! Most of my colds go that way as I have asthma! The REALLY bad ones have a long drawn out transition & my chest gets really bad in the 2nd. phase! By the speed of this transion, I think, hope, it’s not too bad! BetterBS control, generally & iron tablets, for iron deficiency could be a factor there!

21:29 BS 6.8. Borderline but, I think I’ll be alright without a snack. Just had my bath & 2 inhalers. About to go to bed!
