If you don’t think it needs hospital treatment and dress it yourself, if after the weekend you think it’s not healing as it should you could try getting a nurses appointment at your gp surgery. (Their appointments are usually more available and quicker to get) They regularly deal with wound...

Started at 73.6kg, last week I was 69.3, this week I’m 67.5kg.

Your body must have needed it. So long as you could be woken up and alert enough to take medication it’s not really an issue, you were just tired and needed a good sleep, which by the sounds of things you got. Keep an eye on sugar levels as they could be lower than normal due to eating less. Or...

@bulkbiker this is a 9 year old thread that was resurrected from the dead yesterday. I would think the OP has made his decision on going or not and finished the placement years ago if he did go.

Nan doesn’t have a diagnosis of dementia, if we ask the care staff she’s fine with them, very switched on and she remembers everything. But to family she’s very manipulative, she’s been playing us against each other for years. Just after we moved her into the home she called in one of her female...

@ianpspurs thanks! I said good(ish) because I was quite happy with my 4-6 readings coming from the libre, bot the truth of 5-8 does kinda motivate me to get better control than I thought I had. Today’s beading is more triangles for the pudding. Yesterday I didn’t work on the pudding, just...

Morning all I got my Miao Miao yesterday and I’m loving it, a quick glance at my watch and I see my blood sugars. Having the opportunity to calibrate the Libre against finger prick tests is good(ish), seems my Libre has been reading a touch lower than my metre. The tomato app I’m using with Miao...

Thanks, I will withhold celebrations until further opinions are gathered, as we have seen before gremlins are at work here. LOL

4.2 this morning. Off to visit grandmother today, taking beading with me to measure her wrist and finish her bracelet. I must remember to take her birthday card too. Whilst you folks are checking profiles could a couple of you please check out mine. I adjusted it yesterday to remove insulin...

But if you click on an item it gives more info.

I hope I have answered all your queries and given you a fuller picture of my situation. I have read what you all answered me with, but it will take me reading a few more times for me to understand and absorb the information. If you have anything further to add or ask please do so I appreciate...

This was a screen grab of my Libre scan about 4:30am after I corrected. The lowest the Libre read was 3.2 I checked with a finger prick and it said 3.0. Yesterday during the day when I dropped it was mid to high 3s (checked and accurate enough to finger prick) and I never felt unwell or off in...

Thanks everyone for the replies, I need to take time to read and digest them. Bit busy now but just wanted to address this point about insulin. I WAS on insulin, but have stopped it 5-6 weeks ago. I’m no longer on ANY medication for diabetes. I know I need to update my profile soon. Sorry for...

I went to the doctors yesterday and saw the diabetic nurse due to spending all night and half the day dropping into hypo territory. I wanted reassurance that now I’m not on insulin or any diabetic medication the hypos weren’t really something to worry about, or that there was something else...

4.7 this morning. Pretty happy with that as I went to the doctors yesterday and saw the diabetic nurse due to spending all night and half the day dropping into hypo territory. I wanted reassurance that now I’m not on insulin the hypos weren’t really something to worry about, or that there was...

Libre gave me 3.2 this morning @ 3:30am, 4 hours of hypo, and I don’t seem to be out of the woods yet. Corrected to 7.8 by 4:30 and back into the red by 8am. I really don’t understand, I ate my normal yesterday, wasn’t short on shakes, had an extra one in the night and still hypo this morning...

Abbot day if you want to use both the reader and your phone you must scan with the reader first. I think if you started with your phone there is no way to undo this. You will need to either use your phone and not the reader for this sensor. The alternative is starting a new sensor with the...

4.8 this morning. Yesterday I made good progress on my beading. Cat medallions bracelet finished. White ditties bracelet, beaded to 6 inches, can’t go longer till I can take it to grandmother and measure to her wrist. But the ditties curse continues I put the clasp on one end only to find the...

Testing before and 2 hours after meals will help you learn to control your diabetes, testing when you start sweating would see if there’s a pattern connecting the sweating with your diabetes. If you don’t see a connection you could go back to your doctor to get the sweating looked into as a...
