Hi everyone I need some help please as you all know I’ve been sick with rhinovirus tonight my blood sugar is 5.5 and going down but I’m really not in the mood to eat I was going to drink a cup of tea with some sugar in it but I couldn’t manage more than a few sips this morning and then I felt sick. Any advice appreciated

Recently I had my gall bladder removed I went off of tea it was so upsetting but I digress in hospital I drank milk as. Way to get in calories and fatc
 
Good morning all.

Thanks for your kind words, @Goonergal. Sorry to hear you woke with a headache, hope it isn't too bad.

Blood sugars this morning are a lot better with 4.5 mmol -- after no supper and one hour and twenty minutes on the elliptical trainer last night. Yeah!

Hope everyone will have a wonderful start into the weekend later today.

@LeftPeg -- Congrats on lowest fasting blood sugars so far. A well-earned achievement.

Morning everyone, 7.5 for me. Not sure why unless I’m coming down with the children’s bug.

Turns out my two year old has a chest infection, which explains the 40 degree fever. He now has to take calpol on a schedule (can’t have ibuprofen), his two inhalers, asthma granules, steroids and antibiotics. He likes calpol but spits the antibiotics out ‍♀️.

The 8 month old is wheezing a little but they think it’s just consistent with having a cold and nothing to worry about.

I have no idea what anyone is going to eat today.
 
Good morning all, 5.6 this am. Nice morning here, long walk on the cards.
@Ziggy2017 my sympathies for the rough time you are having. We are all rooting for you, and hope your scope comes soon. In the mean time, don’t hesitate to use the local docs or A&E. Best of luck.
@LeftPeg , well done on your progress, looks positive for you.
@LornaFarrell , looks like you have a lot on your plate, hope they all pick up.
Hope everyone else is well. Hope your BG rewards your efforts. Have a great day.

Morning all. 5.6 today but 3 and 5 hrs later than last 2 days. Not a success as a balancing act that works for me (highest of last 4 days) but nearly there. @Goonergal I sympathise but am certain things will come right for you. @LeftPeg amazing progress so well done. @LornaFarrell totally sympathise and it is truly amazing how the memory blots out periods like that one.
