I've been getting itchy shins as well - somebody recommended dabbing mouthwash on them and seems to have worked for me. What sort of socks are you wearing?

I did. Lovely place to walk round, especially with all the daffodils coming out. Avoided the showers as well!

I wasn't given a choice. Straight onto insulin when I was diagnosed. Originally put on 8, 12 and 12 units of Novorapid and 34 units of Levemir but am currently down to 3, 6 and 5 for Novorapid and 5 for Levemir.

Yesterday 4.8 at 5.15, today 3.9 at 5.05. Absolutely shattered yesterday (spent the whole day preparing for an office move) and fell asleep fully dressed and without injecting or eating a bedtime snack. Had been high when I last tested (9.6 at 22.05 - rather naughty fish and chips for tea) but...

Weight now under 18 stone, so that's over two stone gone since Christmas and one in the last five weeks :)

This walking things becoming addictive. Woke up early this morning and got up at 4.45 ... decided to walk to the station (about 2.5 miles) and was out of the door at 5.45. Rather annoyed to just miss the 6.30 train and have to wait half an hour for the next one so went for a bit of a wander...

Sunday is a day of rest. Just pottering around at home.

Lazy Sunday so watching the intake ... Greek yogurt for breakfast and tomato soup and fruit for lunch. Haddock mornay for tea methinks.

5.7 at 7.20 ... bedtime reading was 5.3 at 22.45.

I've taken to eating a pot of Greek yogurt at bedtime to try and stop liver dumps and seems to be working ... and I'm also finding that I'm sleeping a lot better. Don't know if it was linked, but I always tended to wake between 4 and 4.30 - now I'm sleeping until the alarm goes off or sleeping...
