Morning everyone, a bit low @ 2.9, no reason just the joys of diabetes lol.

Good morning, or what’s left of it. 6.2 this morning.
Wine gums. Who opened a pack of wine gums and left them lying about like a shiny Pandora’s box with sound effects; “go on, what’s the harm, you know you want some, we are your favourites, your friends, your comfort blanket of wonderness.”

Morning all! A 5.2 for me at 7.30. Hope you all have a good day.

After a very restless night ... because my dear Mother passed away yesterday afternoon, my bgl was still only 5.6 but
I am all out of sorts with this surreal feeling of watching mum take her last breath ... and I don't feel like eating .. so I may be up and down with my levels today

Good morning all, 5 for me today. Hazey sunshine here, out to plod the boreens of Tipp. Have a fine one.

@Canvaspic you've just taught me a new word. I had to check what a "boreen" is. I hope you enjoy your walk.

2.9 must be pretty scary I had 2.7 once it was very scary for me and at the time I was quite new to treating hypos I used m&ms as treatment which didn’t work very well probably got me to about 3.0 after 30 mins I then ended up sending my mum to the shop to get Capri suns I drank the Capri sun and my BG finnaly went up

Morning all 5.3 for me this morning. This with an 8.4kg weight loss over a month makes me very happy to say the least.

I have no hypo awareness so feel normal, tried running bloods higher but told that because I've had type 1 for so long awareness won't return.

Yeah I don’t fell hypos very often now either but I definitely fell it if I’m around the low 3s

She was due to come out of hospital on Bank Holiday Monday and was so happy, after 11 weeks in there, but she took ill in the early hours of that Monday with pneumonia .. which of course was too much for her to fight

 

[Mal37]

I have spent four years being her carer johnpol, whilst she was at home, so I feel lost as well as devastated right now. Thank you for your words x

I have the same problem. T1D for 46 years (WOW). Zero hypo awareness. Just looked at my libre and 2.9 grrrr, jelly babies to the rescue. Woke up and my fbs was 7.3. Going to adjust my morning ratio for tomorrow

So sorry for your loss. I lost control of my diabetes for over a month when my mam passed away (27 years ago). Tough time for you. Try and keep your bloods under control hun xx
