7.1 this morning, not good for me. I am not well me thinks. Last Sunday I took a fall in the carpark of the fish market, did a wonderful rolling walrus impersonation and then face planted causing a bloody lip and wounded prides. Took 3 burley men to get me up (including my husband). Was a bit shakey on the feet after that. Ever since then my bs reading have pretty much stayed in the 6's, with one 2 hour at 8.5 (I did not retest, so could have been a misread). I have developed a coldsore in the nose, no room on my wounded lip for it and I think it is impacting my right eye.

My diet has not changed much, just had some bubbles a few times, but keeping my carbs low. I have now started holidays for a month - got to do a little work, but nothing too big I hope. I need to get my health back on track this month and I am sure when that happens the readings will go back down.

Look after yourself and get your feet up while you can. Hope you recover quickly and nothing is too sore.

Lousy sleep for me too. Didn't fall asleep until around 3am. Daughter woke me calling round at 9am. A text I'd sent at 10pm only reached het at 7am so she thought I was up.....ah well, nothing energetic for me today either ..... Rest if you can

5.3 for me - at 4.00am when once again I was suddenly wide awake, once again proves my GP comment yesterday re "too low" doesn't appear credible! Managed to drift off again around 5.30am after putting a favourite gentle song on my earphones. At 7 am when getting up I was 5.4.
Let's for me to try and catch up on here 20th you lovely folk, yesterday was a busy one- but resulted in me being offered the job I was interviewed for!! More on that later ; )
