Wow .. that's so tough to deal with mate. The hypos must get so frustrating, you had a great diet and great exercise as usual. It'll be great to get to talk to your consultant with a proper diagnosis and show him your CGM results so that they can see what's going on. Hopefully find a way to improve things. Fingers crossed for you!

Having a lovely time with the kiddo. We spend all day out and about somewhere. Yesterday in town, had lunch, went to the treetop adventure crazy golf place. Lots of daddy bear type stuff cooking and feeding, a movie on Netflix together every evening. She's really growing up, great fun to spend time together.

Oh man that sounds tough! Another hypo! Hang in there mate. When is your next meeting with the consultant scheduled?
I hope your mum is OK too .. sounds very stressful for you at the moment. Really hope you get a good day today that you can plan and enjoy with BGs that don't fluctuate so much. Big hug, wishing you the very best today.
