FBG 6.6 this morning. Though did require another overnight correction. Few theories running through my head but the front runner is possibily the end of my “honeymoon” mixed with higher carb/high fat dinner. Ie test two hours after dinner and nice in range 6s however 2-3 hours later in the 10s...

I was diagnosed last year at the age of 40 after a routine blood test. Very similar stats to yours however a BGL of 26 so sent straight to A&E from the GP even though I felt perfectly fine. Ended up spending 3 nights in hospital and came out with a diagnosis of T1D. I was very lucky it was...

FBG 6.4 this morning though did require an overnight 2 unit correction for a possibly slowly digested fatty meal out. So not sure if thats cheating. Have a good weekend!

FBG 7.7 - less then 8 so I’ll take it without too much grumbling. Didn’t get alot of sleep … so that might be the cause. Have a good Friday everyone.

Latest HBA1C was 42.

A rather uninspiring FBG of 8.4 this morning. Settled into a decent 6.1 by lunch without a correction and just usual breakfast bolus. Ehhh.

6.1 this morning. I don’t think I have ever been so excited/relieved to get a 6 before. Sips coffee contently.

FBG 8.0 this morning after a before bed of 7.9. Consistant at least and better then most of the week even if still above target. Thanks to everyone for letting me stick around. :)

Thanks Estragon. Appreciate the chin up. I really shouldn’t complain too much my HBA1Cs are good and control-time in range usually good too. Guess I still have alot to learn only being a year in. Im used to the occassional hiccup - just not a weeks worth. Type 1 on basal/bolus regiment.

Missed posting another couple of days. Again yucky numbers anyway. This morning FBG 9.9 [emoji15] before bed a mess. It was a lovely 5.9 2 hours after dinner then by bed it was 12.8/16 or 14 (i washed hands and checked 3 times because i was shocked). Took a correction and stayed up to make sure...

While only listing the “sugar” content on the front of packaging might not be particularly useful for some people if you really want to drill down to the “nitty gritty” it does serve a purpose. Not all carbs are created equal hence the glycaemic index. There is a big difference between eating...

Morning All. FBG 7.6 today. Been alittle while since I’ve posted and tbh my fasting numbers have been rather rubbish in the 9s the last week. Through out the day i’m back in target but then before bed i’m above target again and the usual correction seems to have little/no effect by morning...

Another double digit fasting at 11.6. Two days in a row. Correction made and boring easily carb counted meals today for me i think. Should probably do a 3am test tommorrow morning. Mmm lets see if that happens. :)

10.9 after a before bed of 5.3 (3 hours after last meal/bolus. I’m going to grumble for that one. 2 possible culprits 1. I did go out with friends yesterday and had a handful of beers through out the day so body might have got done with the alcohol finally and starting processing the carbs. 2...

FBG 7.3 … getting there. Then a nice cruisy 4.6 by lunch time.

FBG 7.3 less then ideal but still in range and better then the 9s i’ve had the rest of the week. Onwards and downwards!

Coming up to almost 12mths since joining the T1D club. Still learning something new all the time. On a bolus/basal regimen and started carb counting very early on after diagnosis. I haven’t gone down the low carb route and just bolus for what I want to eat. I do try to eat well - so have cut...

Another 9 :( 9.3 FBG after a before bed of 6.7. Grumbles into coffee.

@daffy1 hope you are ok and back in target ASAP. My FBG results have been yucky 9s the last couple days but i feel i shouldnt complain now. Days have been in target but the mornings not my friend.

FBG 11.7 :( after a before bed of 6.3? Ugh Either dinner/dessert hadn’t worked its way through yet or I’ve picked up something. Either way ugh.
