If you’re at home, you could try a full length mirror until you get the hang of it? No need to reach all the way around though, the bit of buttock you can see if you twist around might be enough to give your poor legs a rest.

And good to relieve stiffness of one's back ! It is unusual not to feel the injection and some discomfort as the insulin is injected.
Can one also trust one's partner to do it.? Of course they may wish to use a (much) larger needle .....

Lucky you I was in hospital and remember that the phlebotomist couldn’t get any blood so then 2 doctors tried before the ward Matron finally achieved success

Good old matrons - where would we be without them !!

Well over treated that hypo! Been hovering at 12 in the night- corrections didn’t make a difference.

4 dead this morning BUT etch-a-sketch showed me as hypo all thru the nigh. Went to sleep with a 5

Have a good day everyone

 

[Knikki]

Etch A Sketch showed in the 4's all night and woke up to a 2.6 ~sigh~ glad this sensor is getting chnaged tonight.

Now just caught a spike heading up at 11.2 but I know whay that is, reduced insulin this morning breakfast and liver dump.

All things just peechy then?

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH YYYEEEEEESSSSSS

@Mel dCP How long does your MiaoMiao last between charges? There does not seem to be a battery low indicator that I can see, is there one.
(I bet there is and as a bloke it is staring me in the face and completely miss it )

 

[Knikki]

Please just watch for insulin on board/overlaps with such a long acting insulin !

HMMMM interesting point however there is still a really big discrepencey between bloods and Etch A Sketch and on this sensor at least it could be because it is going to get changed tonight.

I think it knows its towards the end of its little useful life and so has a "can't be ar53d" head on and thows out any number like a bingo caller.

What a difference a week makes, this time last week I was running anywhere from 4 to 16, this week I seem to be jogging along on a steady 6-9, it's good to feel stable again

You’ve swapped with me

So, We were having a weekend away at Spurn Point on a birding event. Been booked since May! Husband did his back in on Tuesday putting grandsons car seat in. Cancelled! Not happy, have now got to go food shopping as we had run everything down. I feel a bottle of red wine may be appropriate. That will help with my erratic numbers this week I’m sure

Yikes !! Sorry Becca - it'll pass if it's any consolation

You know sometimes it's best to drink the wine and relax, it can help, says the wine therapy expert !!

Morning all.

average night

BG 8.3 at 5am corrected 3u > BG 5.0 @ 8.00am - had another 8 units @ and two slices of white toast and a small glass of OJ.

My blood glucose monitor has me at a weekly average of 6.8 which i am very happy with (but a 30 day average of 8.1)

That's moving in the right direction, so that's good.

Indeed
The majority are decent human beings with the odd stern one thrown in now and then
