@ianpspurs i do wish swipey would behave itself, you are the most supportive member of this thread, and you really deserve better, keep on keeping on !

@CAllyD if I tested as soon as I wake up I would get one number, 20 minutes later I am normally 0.2 to 0.5 points higher.

Thanks @BrianDoc. I think Swipey reflects other impacts on bg quite well. Elsie seems to be a red herring for that issue and bg testing is habit cum being determined not to let The D be an obstacle to dealing with whatever is finally felt to be the problem. Starting to be counter productive I think.

5.6 this morning, after spending an hour in bed in a battle of wills with the pup ... a battle I was never going to win ! I should just get up the first time she tells me !

Have your pup and my cat been emailing each other their strategies? :D

FBG 5.9 - that will do nicely. Lets see how a long weekend out in the country visiting family effects the old glucose levels. *bated breath*

5.0 today. Looks like high 4s and low 5s in the morning at the moment. Will have to ask GP about A1c test to check if has changed as its been 6 months now. Have a nice day everyone :)
