Hi @Mel dCP A purple nail shouldn't be much to worry about, I lost a toenail last year after doing a charity walk, grew back fine, I think if your control is good as it is then there shouldn't be an issue, the polish could of stained the nail ?
I did think that, but looking at it in daylight, there’s a tinge of a creamy colour under there too. The little toenail on the other foot has the same colouring too. I’d have thought that if it was going to stain one, it would have stained them all? It’s not a new one, I’ve been using it for a while on and off. I’ve phoned the DN for advice, am awaiting a call back.
It’s only appeared in the last week, and I’ve done s*d all, so I don’t think it’s that.

Overslept hideously this morning, but had a smooth night. Application pack for my lorry and bus provisional driving licence has arrived, so I have to religiously do two bloods a day for three months. I always do one first thing, to calibrate my system, and as I drive most days, I do one then as well. Just got to make sure I don’t miss one, or I’ll have to start again!

Not much to report BG wise, quick blip from my high alarm at 6am, so a little correction brought that down to target. Should have got up then, really

Husband home from work as he’s had a bad vertigo attack, he gets them occasionally since he had viral encephalitis a few years ago. So living room is dark and I can’t see to sew...

Update: DN rang whilst I was typing this, she wants to see me tomorrow. Can’t fault that.

Were you not doing CPR compression's and no doubt knelt over a re-sus-Anne giving it some? (enough to worry about your dodgy shoulder) You'd be amazed at how much other parts of the body work when doing something completely different from the norm.
 
Diagnosed with a viral throat infection yesterday (no fun at all) and today nausea has kicked in so all in all feeling very run down
 
@Nicola M Have HUG!!!! and a large mug of tea or coffee

All fine over here for a change after yet another skydiving BSL at lunch.

Anyway.

Tonight is "The Devil's Food" mmmmwwwwhahahahahahahahahaha
 
It’s a time of group physical misery, except for you indecently healthy ones, so big hugs for all who need them.
Yesterday the wretched knee felt easier so after a short practise drive on Tuesday I drove the 30 mile round trip to meet some old and dear friends, happy!
Woken by very sorely poorly knee in the night but 6.6. Then it climbed, and climbed, lots of corrections and grrrrr, a UTI. Drive and hobbled to the surgery, drove and hobbled to the pharmacy and fingers crossed the antibiotics hit the B on the head.
 
I've gone a full week without a hypo!!! Since my DSN cut both basal and bolus and told me to not correct a high.

The bad news is my average BG has been about 13 and libre shows I'm above that at least 50% of the day so in 1 week my predicted hba1c has gone from 42 to 52.

The basal seems really good when fasting it stays within 1 mmol. I think the bolus is close, but needs to be slightly higher, but I am going to leave it until I have my follow up appointment in a few weeks.
 
Oooh feel the not knowing @Mel dCP though don't have all your tech stuff and the idea of calibrating and recalibrating sends shudders to the udders!!
3.4 as a bizarre start for me, off to London and wacked up to a stonking 12.2 and I'd only eaten chicken slices and olives for lunch, so why? I agree it's baffling. Then call me weird but fazed as madam BG plummeted to 3.6 at 6pm. Well, I admit I did a bit of stuffing to defend myself, couple of fruit pastilles to get me across the underground. Mainline burger, no bun. Home at a slightly high number of 8.9. Didn't feel weird, just threatened.
 

Oh please don’t say that x guilt guilt guilt
 
An unusual day for me, a fairly flat line, that flat in fact I skipped swimming so's not to upset it
So now I'm head scratching, I've had a sore gum and think as I've not increased basal as I would have done with lantus I've caused my problems, well I hope so as tbh I was starting to sulk with Tresiba for the last few days
See what the morning brings....
