hope you feel a lot better very soon. It does sound as though maybe it is the chiropractor beating you up good yesterday. Hopefully you are not coming down with anything viral.4.6 this morning. Feeling like death warmed up (only slightly though) temp 35.6. In pain everywhere even my legs (which I haven’t felt in 8 years) so deductions made that it’s all in my head. Trying to work out if this is a neuro flare up, coming down with something viral, or the chiropractor beat me up good yesterday.
IThe strange thing for me is since dx (same date as you) I have had normal A1cs but yet I am about to start my second course of eye injections due to Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion which has reduced my sight in one eye significantly. That might be because I had high BG for many years before dx and the damage was already done or maybe I am just unlucky.
Thanks Saskia I had a few hours sleep likely to be back in London sometime today or this evening...and the bonus is driving home that late the A1(M) was quiet so foot down on the way home.I hope you are getting some rest.
For me it helps to keep myself in check because I don't feel ill or anything when I have lots of carbs so without testing I am tempted do an impression of an ostrich@ianpspurs insightful post to @Debandez but I think measuring FBG causing anxiety sometimes is a good thing. For me anyway! Every day a day of reckoning!
good afternoon all
Saturday 4.9, Sunday 4.4, Monday 4.8 and 4.5 today
Shows how stress affects bg I suppose. I've not posted for a few days which have been quite difficult for us. Mum's little dog seemed to be responding really well to her heart medication but then suddenly stopped eating at the end of last week and blood tests discovered underlying kidney failure. Our little doggie went to sleep yesterday morning
How glad I am I found this forum and our group here after my own diagnosis.
Hope your day is treating you kindly

Great! E bikes (electric bikes) are very much in fashion here in the UK, even young fit guys are getting them, means they can cover a bigger distance when out Mountain Biking, but the prices £7k+ for one that's up to the tough trails. I am sticking to human pedal power for now, I have two Mountain Bikes one full suspension which I use on harder rock trails in Scotland and Wales and a Hardtail which only as front suspension for those longer days/weekends exploring the hills.Hello from the dark-before-dawn. 6.6 FBG for me this morning which is fairly normal for me.
@PenguinMum and @Fndwheelie I am sorry to hear y'all are under the weather. Hugs to you both and hopes that you will feel better soon. @HarryBeau I hope you are getting some rest.
@Muddy Cyclist I hope you had a good ride.
@dunelm I was interested to read about your and Mrs Miggins' bikes' brakes. I remember that in my college days my motorcycle-riding friends talking about their bikes' brakes and gears -- the Japanese-made ones were all alike but the British ones -- Triumph and Norton -- had the gears and one of the brakes on opposite sides from the Hondas, Suzukis, and Yamahas. Only one guy had a Harley -- I have no idea where its brakes and gears were, or those of the one BMW (which did have a cool sideways cylinder, IIRC). It was long ago and I don't know what bikes have now -- I hear some have automatic transmissions which to me sounds boring.
If I ever do move to the mountains I want something like this for shopping--
My BG after all that was 6 you think there would be some reward for all that exertion
Thourghbreds! I rode a thourghbred Chestnut Mare, she was lovely around the family but to ride somewhat exciting, unpredictable, wild and strong willed, so yes that's probably the problem and a bit like our BG readings.I think that blood glucose is somewhat like a blood horse -- contrary at worst, unpredictable at best ... is there any comfort in knowing we are all Thoroughbreds?
