Flu vaccination went well. Drank plenty of water throughout the day and would hardly know I’d had it. However, I have spent the night chomping on Jelly Babies and am still low this morning. No three am surge and no foot on the floor rocket. Actually ate breakfast before insulin. Unheard of. So I expect the vaccination dropped my levels. Which I have to say is not the usual way around for me. But I am never low in the mornings.
Dentist this morning. That will up things I’m sure.
 
Woke on 6.8 and feeling v tired.
Now at work 5.4 supping coffee and debating a biscuit.
I'm on some new to me GF stem ginger ones from asda and it says they are 13g per biscuit yet they taste v sweet and effect my levels like they are nearer 20g per biscuit.
Lovely though lol

It never fails to amaze me how different we all are - in our reactions to vaccines, the same food, the effect of stress etc etc. Whoever coined the phrase 'the only type of diabetes you have is yours' got that right!
Good luck at the dentist's @becca59
 
I woke on 6.2 this morning and then i started to rise but my stroll in to work brought it back down and i'm at 5.4 as i type.
I was looking at my libre and i stayed steady all night and said to myself "what a lovely graph" .....

I giggled a bit and i wonder has anyone posted a thread about things only a diabetic would say?

Some of my own faves

" thats filth that is" when i see the staffroom at school when its someones birthday and they bring in those awful donuts covered in icing that were made 8 weeks ago theres about 12 of the buggers they make me gip!

"i'd need an armful of insulin for that" commenting on someones plate at a restaraunt.

"lets see what the lady libre has to say" even after 10 years i am in awe of my libre
and along the same lines i oft mutter " 4 millimeters " as i'm jabbing myself

Have a fantastic Friday everybody and please do forgive my madness
