Thanks, Kathleen. Yes, it seems that I am doing better with exercise every second day rather than every day as before -- but want to observe this for another two weeks.

Great that your blood sugar levels are coming down again -- I am sure it was all the stress of not knowing before. Thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed that you'll have your operation before February.

Thanks
I can feel it now mind, hypo hangover I call it, with that headache that comes afterwards, my fault, having lost my meter on Monday, borrowing a GlucoRx one with 5 strips and scrounging another from the hospital with another 10 strips I've not been testing 10 times a day so am 'winging it' as I go, hopefully my new Accu-Check meter will arrive this morning, I say hopefully as I've just the one test strip left....

Just one of those weeks I guess :)

good morning all :)

4.1 today

Hello and welcome to the forum @Coldkallan I'll tag @daisy1 to post the useful information for new members for you.

We shifted and stacked all the logs yesterday thankfully because it's pretty cold here today :( and mum got a phone call last night to say that she may be getting visitors to stay for her birthday next week.

Thanks.
Aye, a repeat script for 4 packs x 50, but Accu-check Aviva, long story short our hospital have GlucoRx so that's what they gave me, I've an unopened box of Aviva strips but as yet no meter and 1 nexus strip with 2 nexus meters.

The plan's simple, if postie doesn't bring me the new Accu-check one then when I've used the last strip I'll take the widow next door her husbands newest one back (with no strips) and then borrow their Aviva Nano & get some batteries (No :p I don't live next door to R*bbiesw*n).
(I posted a thread 'Libre trial' in another section here which kind of explains how I got here this week :) )

I'm trying to work out a tactful approach for the Nano (if it works) on a cheap or free permanent basis (she's been widowed 7 months)
