Appointment booked with the mental health team, September 4th at 2pm. I have book club the same day at 7pm so I have something nice to look forward to afterwards.

It's been okay, yesterday breakfast and lunch went fine, I also had a walk after breakfast and went to a cafe. Cup of tea and cake at the cafe which I injected for. So all of that was good. Then later I had an Indian at a friends house which I didn't inject for. But I did correct later so not...

It says something like oops, we ran into some problems. Oddly it'll allow one picture but not another.

I'd love to be able to share some screenshots of my libre app and share some of the progress I've made but for some reason I cannot attach files!

Much better yesterday, thankyou. Also going strong today. My only issue yesterday was I was taken to a pub which didn't have any nutritional information I could find and I didn't want to mess up again so I didn't eat. I was so hungry when I finally got back. I have the carbs and cals app but...

Failed myself today. Breakfast and lunch were fine, the struggle came at the cinema and I failed. Popcorn and chocolate, guessed on insulin dose, BG now quite high. Just given a correction and hoping it comes down before bed.

I am pleased with my progress and very grateful for everyone's support. Just finished putting food together for work tomorrow. I've calculated carbs for everything because I think it'll be easier doing it the night before when I'm going to be at work. Overnight oats for breakfast with...

Update, I didn't make the phone call but I have just this minute completed the online self referral form. Apparently I will be contacted within 7 working days, takes the pressure off me making the call myself.

I was 1 unit to reduce by 3 but recently my DSN suggested 1 unit to reduce by 2. This doesn't always seem to work (I say always, since Saturday) but when we get a good idea of where I'm at obviously can make changes. I see her again 17th September so hopefully I've made some good progress and...

BG 11.1 before bed and corrected. Had a steady night but woke at 11am, it was 12.2. I did wake with a headache and very congested, think I might be coming down with something. Could explain why BG didn't respond much to correction? No breakfast because I woke late, just had a fairly carb heavy...

I haven't yet, I think it was easier yesterday because I knew it was Bank Holiday so they likely wouldn't answer. Today they will and I'm a little nervous. I've just seen my DSN and she is happy with the progress I have made but did push again for me to give the mental health team a call.

'Naughty' food explanation, a couple of reasons. Firstly, when I was first diagnosed I was diagnosed Type 2. My DSN at the time was fairly old and she was very very old school, essentially she wanted me to live off meat and vegetables. Each time I saw her she treated me like a child who had been...

Peckish again after my evening meal, craving 'naughty' food. Just had an 18g bar of chocolate (10g carbs per bar) and some belvita biscuits (30g carbs per pack) so a total of 40g carbs. I did take insulin for it however I'm stressing it's going to throw me off

I have a few jobs in the house to tackle, had a short walk this morning so don't think I will go out this afternoon. I may need a nap to see me through but hopefully not.

Yes had insulin about 30 minutes before breakfast. Probably didn't make the best choice but I needed some carbs. Took myself for a short walk after shopping and still at 10.1 now but that's still so much better than usual.
