Morning peeps hope you are all well.

Well that was a dreadful day yesterday and as far as I can see no reason for it. Ate the same things at same time for breakfast and lunch as the day before yet stayed high all day yesterday peaking at 13.2 about an hour after lunch. Had 25g of carbs for dinner with my correct dose of insulin, stayed in double figures until bedtime at 10.3. I know I will take correction dose, in go 4 units of Novorapid, wake up at 2.15 and its now 12.6 and at 7am its now 14.4:bigtears::bigtears::bigtears::bigtears::bigtears::bigtears:

I have doctor and DSN on Wednesday hopefully they can make sense of this

Maybe your basal needs tweaking or you have an infection going on hope its sorted soon x
 
morning y'all :) 4.2 for me, I'm glad it's Friday but I'm weary this morning, I've an appointment at the council office in town at 09.30 so it's the car/push bike combo again, a bit nippy for shorts but the sun's out so we'll see, hope you all have a good day :)
 
Need to give myself a good talking to.....
In the tens again this morning and over ate again last night.
I do inject before bed but am always reluctant to go too far.
You'd have thought the anxiety about not waking up would have subsided after 44 years but nope its got worse.
I shall not over indulge this evening and regroup tomorrow.

Have a fantastically freaky fun Friday everyone.....

ps
I pushed the space bar to the tune of the banana splits which made me giggle a bit.

pps
I looked over my shoulder to make sure I was alone....:clown:

On the insulin pump I must admit I am super reluctant to bolus in insulin at bedtime. If I was on CGM and maybe with a dose reduction feature with low bsls I might be game but the dread of night hypos is never abolished once experienced.

Hi @kev-w, If you are like me, I rely on my hairy legs to keep me warm !!
 
Good morning all. And happy Friday to you :)
The misses suggested chippy for tea last night. So I over calculated for it and my bloods before were 8 and 1 11/2 hours later were 9 so I thought I was doing good. Had a horlicks for bed (bolused for that too and when in bed was 9.9 so still single figures and happy. Woke this morning to a 23.1 AAARGH massive correction dose. Now on a 13.8 with a downward trending arrow
 
@porl69 great way to start the day! Like how smoothly you managed to blame the missus without making it obvious :hilarious:

In a similar vein (!) 5.5 before bed (back of the net!) to a 12.2 this morning - I think that's due to the low I had early evening as a result of miscalculation of carbs for tea, but at least I didn't over treat the hypo.....................or maybe I did!:sour:
 
Hi all. Does anyone else feel ravenous after a busy, somewhat stressful meeting ? Not easy to deal with I find.
I guess I need to develop a different pressure release valve?
BTW: Insulin pumpers/TIDs: If you like Black or Dark humour - see the Joke Forum.

Hehehe....you noticed :)

And now the downward trending arrow has moved to an upward trending arrow....still at 13.8. YET another 3 units of Fiasp. Today is going to be one of those days. There was me showing off yesterday with a straight line as well lol. Now looks like a mountain range :banghead::banghead:
 
Morning.

Day 3 Dulac :writer:

So I'm now at 21 units, maybe a bit too quick to move up one unit, but will wait and see.

So far, not to bad however, rather annoyingly, round 5 - 6am in the morning it goes up and creaps up over the 10 mark :banghead:

Ended up shoving 4 or 5 units of Aspidistra in, which as you expect, brought it down to a more resonable number.

Really don't like being woken up at those times :chicken: so more long term experimenting. :shifty:

Will persevere :bag:

Hi Karen, generally my basal and overnights have been OK, so don't think it is that. Maybe try changing the insulin cartridges

I am in work now and it was at 16.6 oooops. Chucked in another 8 units of Novorapid about 1 hour ago, this is a different cartridge from my home, and its now going down, now at 11.4. Need to just keep my eye on this now.

I was hoping to go away walking/birdwatching from Sunday for a couple of day, think this may be cancelled :(
