Poor dog ( and you ) Our dog is almost 12, very ill 18 months ago, liver disease. But she's not doing bad, still likes her morning walks, which is helping my bs no end.

More shenanigans from my batch 44 this morning. A lovely spread between 6.1 and 7.4 :arghh: I was only 7.0 on diagnosis over 12 months ago and my averages over 3 month periods since I started testing have been 6.0, 5.7, 5.6 and currently 5.5. My Accu-chek gave me 5.8.

Bedtime 6.1 (accu chek 5.5)
Fasting see above

Batch 44 is **** I think
Last night I reached home to 5.8 I am usually 4.8 4.9
I took the kit with me to warmer room
Had dinner and 2 hours late 4.9
Again left the kit in the cold room and morning was 6.5
I really hope this batch finished soon
 
Has anyone recently ordered strips for codefree as if they are more constant in terms of there readings I would just order another batch. This is disheartening to say the least 6.5

Have a read of the thread about these strips, started by AndBreathe. I wrote to Homehealth asking if they had received any complaints about batch 44 and pointed out some of the discrepancies I had found. They have now exhausted their supply of batch 44, so you are safe to order more. Do read the thread, it is an interesting reply.

All my readings for the past week have been on a new tub of 44 and they are absolutely fine! I have not had one odd or failed reading on this particular tub, unlike the other two tubs of 44.
 
Anywhere between 4.5 and 5.5 according to batch 44. I'd say lower end of that, but unfortunately I was up during the night,. erm,............. recycling dinner. I have no idea why, but it was singularly unpleasant.

I don't do sick.

I don't do vomiting. In fact, MrB had never, ever seen me vomit before (obviously, that made his night!), such is it's rarity. It's just before 10am now and I've just had a few cubes of cantaloupe and a plain yoghurt as I was hungry. Fingers crossed that's the last we see if it!

Play nicely boys and girls.

Oh nasty. I don't do sick either, and it's also a rarity for me. Better out than in though.
 
Fingers crossed it's a 24 hr thing. Its only happened to me twice, once with norovirus and once after a bad muscle.Muscles are now one of the few foods I dislike.

Hope it's short lived. I'm not great with sick. My nightmare when son was little was the whole strip bed and wash the sicky sheets routine.

7.2. Two weeks into finding control. Down from the 14s. Wish I could get down to the 5s. I am low carbing. Hope I can stick with it.

Just out of interest I was dreaming about stormy seas again last night and have been getting this a lot lately. In fact most of my dreams are of the sea, wonder why ? :)

Maybe you were a trawlerman in another life - You've seen Perfect Storm I take it ;)

6.3 - I think I'm just going to be one of those folk with normal bloods rest of day and a high fasting. Even the Metformin made little impact. Not helping that my fibromyalgia is in flare up so I'm in pain and feeling stressed. A lot if us seem to be struggling at the minute one way or other so big hugs to all who need it.
@Susikav think it was you who asked... I can only manage the spelt bread since losing over 5st. Initially even half a slice of very dark rye bread ( the ones out of packets) had me at over 8.

Big GENTLE hugs back - I know what its like :(

I remember vividly dreaming a lot about the sea and being in helicopters when I spent a month in ICU in an induced coma on a mechanical ventilator for 4 weeks. When I got out I found out the ICU and A&E were next to the helipad. So you do dream and take in external stimuli in a coma. Weird or what ?
