You certainly have a lot on your plate there dear.... It sounds like you need to be relaxing a bit and taking care of yourself, not pandering to anyone else... How difficult life can be - it seems to throw a load of stuff at you all at once sometimes.... chin up, and stay strong... We are always here listening...

Your halo is showing... :) I ate a tablespoon of mash today, and 4 cherries... went from being perfect at 4.4 fasting - first time since before Christmas - to 7.5... mind you, that was only an hour after eating... will test again later....

@loulou99782 No probs x I'm on seretide the purple one and ventolin for when it gets hard to breathe
Although since being on that one, I don't need the ventolin very often. Usually only when cold air catches me out or when I have chest infection/sinus infection.

Snap i am on Seritide 500/50 but my dosage is now higher than reqermended 2 puffs 3 times a day. I am also on ventolin inhaler and nebulisers, slowly phillyn, singular, atrovent and methertraxate. I am also on prednesolone 40mg a day as well as antibiotics. Hope your chest is stable cause steroids play havoc with blood sugar levels:-)

I think you partly answered your own question there! Hitting target numbers is one thing. Maintaining them is another. Helping others reach their targets is a great motivator too, and stories like yours are inspirational to those still struggling to reach their goals, so stay with us. There is still so much to learn, with no better place than this forum to do this. :)

Well said BT...:)

The price of Paradise ;) You have such a lot going on am not surprised the numbers are up a bit.... The excitement, the stress of getting everything done in time... Take a step back @AndBreathe and breathe....with your feet up and a cuppa if only for half an hour. Take care, you're nearly there, enjoy....

Rice, spuds and cake all in one meal? Tut tut. I know from experience I can only manage one portion of major carbs at a time. That was why I was very high after lunch yesterday - I mixed spuds with bread. One or the other I handle well, both together is a no-no.

I discovered that today when I had some root veg, a tablespoon of mash and 4 cherries.... :(

5.5 this morning - pleased as had main meal at 4pm before my 2nd 5-10 pm shift last night, I tested when I got in at 10.30pm and was 5.9, but had just walked home. I had a cold black farmers and a square of cheese before bed.
Second night at the centre was good, I was supposed to be shadowing a case worker again Monday but the centre manager popped in and told me due to such good feedback from my first night to scrap Monday and from my next shift Wednesday I will be on duty case worker! How did that happen?!
Had a pool competition with the residents last night, I lost but it was fun to interact with the guys!

It all sounds really positive.... :)

5.7 this morning and I was naughty yesterday :cool: I'm naughty every friday.
3.8 before my naughty lunch yesterday, which was late by a couple hours, so I was shaky etc.
Then his lordship Togo entertained the good people of Poole with his woo wooing :hilarious:
That dog has quite the fan club, everyone remembers him and comes over to give him a cuddle :joyful:

Nice... :)
 
Disappointing 5.8 this morning, however ate small portion of home made stir fried vegetable chicken and a cup of Pg tips 10 minutes before bed.
Got home very late and did not do any exercise.
