Also one of my fingers has turned black and is swollen not the lurgy managed to hit it with a meat mallet yesterday now that does hurt think I may lose the nail.

Awww poor you. Be extra kind to yourself today x

Well I've not posted fasting level for a few days as I had a sore throat and felt unwell, and it would have perhaps messed my numbers about?
Anyway, I have today, and pleased to see a 5.2 this morning

I'm afraid my PCR is positive. Was hoping to avoid Covid, but with the vaccine, let's hope it's just like a cold.

The advice posted by others is all good. I caught Covid in January (pre-T2 diagnosis). It wasn't pleasant, but the best advice I would give is to take things at your own pace. If you need to sleep, sleep, if you need to do nothing, do nothing. I was no more than a "medium" sufferer of it (no hospitalisation, just some steroids for my chest due to asthma) but it took me upwards of seven weeks after isolation finished to feel human - I tried rushing back to doing things. Basically, if you can afford to, do what you need to at whatever pace you want.

i am 4 months into my journey so i have not had my first HbA1c since being diagnosed in may. Hoping for a improvement at end of year . Changed signature so not so confusing

If your FBGs are a reflection of your overall control, then no doubt about it there should be a great improvement in your next HbA1c. Doing fantastic with the weight loss as well. Good on you.

[karen8967]

7.2 - Went to bed on a 9.7. Day before was 7.3 and 9.8. Creeping downwards… HBA1C is 46 YAY for me! Just so I don’t get too jealous of all you 4s and 5s…

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 7.1 today.

 

[Estragon]

Morning All. 7.1 today.

Yeah, don’t be too sad…. How’s your HBA1Cs doing?

 

[ianpspurs]

Wet, cold, dark but I'm still here and 'tis SSSF mayhap even halloumi chips aussi - God is good. Not so good is that my fbg was 5.6 on Swipey. Disaster darlings, disaster for <14 gms carb?? (The bottom line from my reading is 5.5/100 is the upper limit of managing.) This fashionable taking back control doesn't seem to cope too well in real life.

 

[Ryhia]

6.4 this morning and not wanting to budge at present.

Hope all you people who need hugs are feeling a little better this morning.

7.7 this morning.
The culprit was a low sugar hot chocolate with a milk and water mix at 10pm, resulting in an 8.2 before bed. But heck, it was good!

 

[JohnEGreen]

Bit of an uncomfortable night then at 5:30 a 3.3 then at 6:30 a 3.0 7:42 3.8 thought good on the way up then at 7.58 2.9 after a coffee and breakfast back up to 4.9 now 6.0 I thought it was compression lows but finger prick test says otherwise. Any way headache gone and hands have stopped shaking back to normal.
