Had my appointment with the optomotrist. She did the normal tests and then took me through to take photos of the back of my eyes. On the strength of those photos she's referring me back to the opthalmologist at the hospital (long wait for an appointment). My right eye isn't too bad but it is...

3.6 at 02.00 today. Libre told me so. Realised that yesterday I had used my emergency biscuits so had to go through to the kitchen for something to raise BG. A can of sweetened espresso did the job. Must remember to replace the biscuits. I was exhausted yesterday, after 2 trips to town...

Avocado for breakfast. Black tea. Planning to snack on cottage cheese at lunch time. Ham salad for later. I'm hoping this will stop me feeling sick when I eat. I have to go out for an appointment with the optometrist at 1 pm today. Lots going on with my eyes- might be independent of all the...

When I came back from my leg bandaging session I had a phone call from the hospital asking me to go in at 1400 for a chest X-Ray. I guess the consultant told them to get a move on.

Breakfast: scrambled egg. Still hungry so had a coffee. Felt really awful afterwards but recovered in time to go for my leg bandaging at the health centre. I felt as though it was the coffee that had upset my stomach so decided not to have any more coffee today. This is a fairly new...

Libre alarm went off at 02.10 at 3.7. Had my emergency biscuits (I buy individual packs of 2 little ginger biscuits for that) and that brought it up to 6.5 by the time I sorted myself out and got through to the kitchen, half an hour later. Legs day today. I don't think Neil's very keen on the...

Apparently the final decision lies with the diabetes team. As far as I c an see, all my co-morbidities would be helped by me losing some weight, but they say there's insufficient work done on the combination of co-morbities that I have, so it's no. The Consultant today told me that my GP had...

6.5 at 04.00 today. Over 8 by the time I got through to the kitchen, but it fell again pretty rapidly. Hospital appointment today. Neil will take me in Alistair's old Dacia. It's really an old banger but it runs. When we've finished with it Alistair is going to try to sell it for spares -...

Just tea so far. Can't decide what to have for breakfast. I want to make porridge but I can't face what it would do to my BG. Anyway, I think I have to get back to my almost zero carbs - whatever the dietician and the diabetes nurse say. It's clear that, whatever doctors say about being...

Have fun at the seaside and enjoy the fish. Sitting on the seafront is the best way to eat it too.

Good luck with the plants and have a great holiday.

I had a bowl of the lentil soup earlier today and it was enough to keep me going until the morning but I am going to make meatballs in tomato sauce ready for tomorrow. I don't expect to feel much like making an evening meal tomorrow - I have a late appointment with the Medical Consultant at the...

Just spoke to the diabetes nurse at our group practice about whether I can get the weight loss injections and she tells me I have been referred back to the hospital care because my case is so complex. At the moment she agrees with the decision made by the hospital diabetes nurse that I...

5.6 at 04.00 today. Feeling kind of shaky, but BG isn't low. Don't know what that's about. Not enough sleep maybe. Also feeling a bit chilly - had to put my shawl on again - it is actually pretty overcast here and there's a kind of dampness in the air, without there being any rain...
