Hi all, Back from a weekend away in Bridport and a magnificent day in the garden yesterday. Holiday was tough on the BG, managed a magnificent overnight 23.4 (too much booze, curry and salted caramel tart) and also a less magnificent 17ish spike the day before, but wrestled it back into shape...

Morning all, BG 5.4 @23:30 > 5.9@ 06.30 > 5.9 @ 09.00 > *fist pump

Oh yeah, my 'eject' button doesn't work but i'm not jealous. :)

11.3 @ 03:00 > 9.4 @ 08:30 > 4.9 @ 12:05 An average to poor day today about to have two slices of seed sensations bread (lush) with REAL butter and homemade spiced butternut squash soup.

I've had the same monitor as you for a couple of years. Never had to replace it. It seems reliable.

you should get a job as a photographer, it looks like a promo shot

Is that your actual arm or a body double?

It's a heavy cross to bear. The trick is finding the most efficient way to carry it up the hill. This condition has undeniably left it's mark on me that's for sure.

Morning 5.1 @ 22:45 > 5.5@ 02:00 > 8.7 @ 07.15 (+4u) now 9.8 (but i did have a white coffee). Waiting for 8 more units to kick in before i go for a nice breakfast of Greek yoghurt oats and blackberry puree.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that.

15.4 3 hours after eating. oh dear. whacked in another 5 units still got IOB as well

I would just run slightly on the high side, and if your blood sugar does dip lower than expected it wont take more then a few mouthfuls of something sweet to bring you back up, go for flat sweet squash. Nil by mouth is really about solids or excessive fluids little sips will be fine.

I just whacked in another 6u will see what happens.

oh dear, just scoffed an unplanned slice of pizza from my work kitchen. It's one of those days today.

Perhaps we could do some Samaritans type posters and postcards that encourage people to join the forum.

mmmm peanut butter m&m's (as part of a carefully controlled diabetic routine)

Morning all. average night BG 8.3 at 5am corrected 3u > BG 5.0 @ 8.00am - had another 8 units @ and two slices of white toast and a small glass of OJ. My blood glucose monitor has me at a weekly average of 6.8 which i am very happy with (but a 30 day average of 8.1)

edited to add throughout the day i like work within the cycles of my fast acting insulin. i allow five hours between injections, pre bolusing an hour before eating meals (in normal conditions) and checking BG 2 & 4 hours after meals. i take around 10 BG readings a day and up to 6 fast acting...

@kelp84 one effective way to reduce your hba1c is to focus on the night time BG levels. You are asleep for on average 33% of the day. You're not eating (hopefully) during that time, so if you can get your blood glucose down to a normal level before bed and keep it there overnight you will...

@smc4761 Its an improvement. so therefore a WIN! Keep it up, you are doing great.
