Aginoth said:
Very happy to see my readings at 5.1@1000, as I had an operation on my foot yesterday. had a large granuloma removed and my big toe-nail which was growing into my toe at a stupid angle. Sore and have my foot elevated.

Later today I have my PiP assessment...

Is that roughly the same or slightly above yesterdays level Karen...seem to remember it is...couple of things spring to mind...I know so little about type 1 & insulin...just wondering if it may be the rise & that awful head cold have finally reached their peak...if that is a possibility...others here might be able to advise on that...if you have no reduction in another couple of days...call the DSN...ask for an appointment with her or your GP...impress on her it is worrying you...you would like to discuss it with her or your GP...as far as I am aware hyperglycaemia for a short period of time doesn’t immediately cause harm... but...the earlier high blood-sugar issues are treated the better...we should be able to discuss anything that causes us anxiety with our health care teams when necessary in detail.

6.4 this morning. It's rare that I will wake at less than 5.5 really. I can see through my readings that it rises just as I'm about to wake up. On the plus side, I have been in range (4-8.5) for a number of days now.

Hi @JoeT1 you seem to be going in the right direction but has I'm type2 I wouldn't really like to advise but your post will be picked up by another type 1 and they should be able to give you better answers to any concerns you have! Good luck !K

Fingers crossed it is the head cold + the possible ear infection...if he's given you a spray sounds like an outer ear infection...had that it is incredibly painful...if he's caught it early hopefully it won't get too bad:nurse:...:nurse:you must be relieved you've seen the GP...certainly better than a random conversation in a phone call saying honeymoon period is over...one of my pet hates when we're fobbed by one of our health care team with 'oh it's probably (this)'...it is frustrating Karen...seem to be viruses everywhere...just seen my poor neighbour...she is not well...she's lovely...but keeping away from her...fingers crossed it's reached it's peak & things settle down soon.

Next appointment was a month away. Slight upside having had surgery yesterday I certainly will look the part at the assessment.

I went with a friend to her PIP assessment for moral support...hated every minute of it...doubt anyone is meant to enjoy them...however I found it such an unwelcoming almost hostile environment...hers was conducted by am ambulance technician...some of the questions were so ambiguous...no idea if they're all like that...but...have to say it was an experience I wouldn't care to repeat...yes...you certainly will look the part...hope that leg/foot is not too painful.
