@Louleelou - sorry to hear the reason for your sadness. My daughters and son still find the anniversary of their Dad's passing hard 6 years on. The same with his birthday, father's day and Christmas. They do try to be positive and celebrate his life but you know how hard that can be. Wish you all the best for your DN appt tomorrow. Hope the ulcer is healing well too

doesn't feel right "liking" a post when someone's feeling poorly or their numbers are high but if I don't I feel like I'm ignoring you - or whoever's post it is. Anyone else feel the same? Mayb it's cos I don't "do" forums normally. Just thought I'd say. So if you've got the raging lurgy and I "like" your post I'm thinking of you or wishing you well.......

I agree, I dont like 'liking' when people have bad numbers or do not feel well or the post is generally negative.
 
7.8 for the UK. 124 for the US. One of my lowest since starting aggressive control measures. Pretty happy. Long ways to go, but baby steps.

Hiya everyone, not posted for a few days as I've felt pretty down in the dumps, mainly due to the anniversary of my dads passing & trying still to get my head round been Diabetic. It's 2.5 months since I was diagnosed but I feel like it's just now really dawned on me. Guess the whole lifestyle change etc has started to kick in!! :-(

My GL levels for the past few days have been the same, mid to high teens with a few in the low 20's, first readings in the morning.

Got appointment with my DSN tomorrow, not looking forward to it after last months visit!! (Ambulance was called to the surgery because of my GL levels, Ketones, rapid heartbeat & high BP - 9 days spent in hospital!!!) :-(

So fingers crossed for me please that all will be OK & I can report back to you with positive news & hopefully not from a hospital bed!!! :-/

Hope you all are well & taking good care of yourselves. :)

7.8 this morning at 5.35am. Was up all night with sickness and diahorea. Not sure what I have eaten but I can't keep anything inside. Been drinking lots of water so hopefully it will leave my system shortly. I've not tested much today because I've not really eaten. For the first time in ages I long for toast with butter, but I've resisted. Wa 5.2 before dinner which was a little bit of scrambled egg...niece I am up late as my stomach is doing washing up.mlol

Hope you are soon feeling better. I came to bed before 10 and it's now 1am and still can't sleep :-( bunions, calves and hands aching despite painkillers so I got up, chunk of cheese and some yoghurt despite fancying toast and butter too. Pain gel on all achy bits, cup of tea (soya milk) and I'm all set to try again.
Take care, get well soon and hopefully some zzzz's for both of us. Nite, Jan

Sleep well Jan :)
 
Another 6,0 mmol, second day in a row. Beginning to miss those 5,- scores.

Cold must still be in my system, although symptoms definitely better.

Giving myself a break from morning walks until I get rid of cold completely.

Sticking with the reduced Metformin dose for now but no clear picture of how my levels are affected because of distortions brought on by the cold

Have a great day everyone.

@Louleelou

Hope the review goes well for you today?

Do I remember correctly that you needed to investigate whether you may be LADA instead of t2? This might be an opportunity for you to bring the subject up.

All the best

Hope you are both feeling better today!
It's the season for runny noses and upset tummies it seems.

Good news!

Did the subject of nibbling nuts come up at all or was that left for the consultant?

Maybe posting on this thread helps bring my levels down! I have done nothing else since taking my earlier 6 reading but catch up and respond to everyone's posts here. I just decided to retest and I am down to 5,0 mmol.

And no, I am not going to retest to confirm I deserve a 5 so I am sticking with it!
