Ianspurs thanks for the hug! I have been to the Dr but he doesn't want me to take Quinine because I have a heart problem and it can affect it. I have been online and one remedy maybe I'm dehydrated so step up the fluids which today I have. I take Magnesium every day and tonic water in my squash (Quinine I know but not a lot).

6.5 today - more comfortable after a couple 3am checks it would appear im getting 1-2mmol rise before waking up but still staying within 2mmol of before bed so basal seems right. Still a relative newbie so hope I got that right.

7.0 - Better than yesterday’s 8.0. Also, I had a series of 10.0s during the middle of the day in the last three days. Don’t need that. I think the word is, erratic? Should I fluctuate this much?

Aw man, sleeping is rubbish for me too. However, I’m impressed with your HBA1C!

Good morning
Libre 8.8
Contour 7.3
Not really surprised after 13 hours overnight in a hard chair in a&e with my mum on Monday night then rushing around yesterday to a different hospital for my blood tests (took 3 full bottles) & then back to where mum is & ready meal for tea (never have ready meals)
Did sleep really well though
Have a good day everyone

4.0 today. Have a great day everyone 
Hope your mam feeling better soon. NHS A&E is a joke now, have to take stuff along with you like your having a day out ( food, drink, entertainment )

Thoughts and prayers with you and your mum @DEBBIESCOTT. Amazing A1c @BrianDoc. Good to see you back @annabell1. @Estragon what your bg should do with T2 is not the issue IMHO because by definition it doesn't do what it should. Finding ways to manage what it does do is more pertinent and you've been here long enough to know that is very N=1. There are no (UK) Black Swans. Go Team D t-shirt donned, tea drunk (approx 3 litres) just to help @RosemaryJackson

7.6 this morning. Hardly any cramp overnight so I must be dehydrated. But I'm not losing any weight to speak of . Since 9th of January, I've lost an amazing!!! 5lbs!!! I count all my carbs and odd days I go over 30g. do I perhaps not eat enough fat? I have problems with exercising so is that the problem? Can I have some expert advice please? I'm type 2 since 2009. Last HBA1c was 60. Low carb diet. bgs mostly between 6 and 8, the odd dip to the 4s. tia

Maybe too much olive oil and cheese in last nights spaghetti. Before bed was very good.

Hug and winner for @RoughcutAU .Olive oil and cheese may not have been the culprits, but spaghetti, hmmm?
@JohnEGreen, delighted to see you back posting. Have been wishing all good health to you and yours. Still a legend!
Been busy, and or lazy, whichever way you choose to look at it. Most days have had fasting levels between 6 and 7. Other days I haven’t bothered checking. So not got the foggiest idea.
Will be more disciplined from now.
