Morning everyone, what's this about hot weather, we are expected to peak at 22 degrees here.

I've had three really nice blood sugar days, then around 3 am this morning, my blood sugar make a run for it, and escaped and got to over 10.00, took a while to get in back in the target zone, but I'm not letting it out on it's own, for the rest of the day, if I can avoid it.

While I was waiting for it to start going down, I wasted time looking at the daily graphs on the Libre reader, and discovered that last Wednesday at 3 am I had a similar high. I detect a pattern.

This is illogical, my endocrine system does not know what day of the week it is, my endocrine system does not know what day of the week it is.

I'll have to google later, and go and find a few cranky blogs.
 
5.8 this morning and riot act read to endocrine system. It told me it was the one that already had the habeas corpus bit sewn up, so pah, but it was a bit tired after yesterday and would do it’s best today.
Have a lovely day everyone.
 
Morning all, Well it was sunny first thing walking the dog this morning and expecting it to be hot again today duly knocked back my levemir in anticipation. When I went to leave for work it was almost as if I'd been teleport-ed to another country, cloudy grey and cold!

7.2 before bed, 8.5 this morning - happyish with that.

hope the weather is better for everyone else!
 
Well dull 7 something to start the day, well after the Libre Sensor had failed, it really is delicate technology.

Have another one on, and as nice as it is in some respects it is a PITA a lot of the time, think I need to move it around and find a place that works for me.

Now sat in work listerning to Nine Inch Nails then will go find something on IPlayer, maybe Don Letts again, with first coffee of the day which I think I made a little to strong.

@Fairygodmother All is well with the world.
 
Sounds like you’re all having an ok start to your day

I got up early to do some work in my shed before it gets too sweltering, as I’ve got soldering and casting to do, and it’s like an oven in there in this weather. Aaaaaaaaand I’ve got no electric. Fuse box is in the garage, husband has the key and has gone to work.

BG now an irate 8.
 
Well last night the other half wanted a Chinese. I had beef curry 2 chicken balls and fried rice! at around 7.30 BG before food was 6,8, guesstimated around 150gramms of carbs and bolused for that. All good and well 2 hours later BG 7.1 at 9.30. Thought I had cracked it. Went to bed at 10.30 BG of 7.3 straight arrow. Woke this morning feeling like S**T BG24.8 OOPS! Massive correction bolus with my breakfast and am now on 9.5 with a steady down arrow. Have to think twice about Chionese again OR split bolus with a much higher carb intake. How the hell to Chinese people control T1D????
 
Oh no! Hope you’re not set for a wild ride on the glucoaster today. I suspect Chinese food in China doesn’t contain the sugar it might here, even though your meal doesn’t sound like a particularly sweet one. I suspect the fat content slowed it down, and that would explain the mice bedtime reading

Also, I’m now having curry for dinner. Thanks for that!

@porl69 I feel your pain, in your scenario just before bed at 7.3 you feel you don't need extra insulin but you know it's coming

I did say to the other half when we were in bed that if she wakes up during the night to scan my Libre, but typically she didn't wake last night

curry for dinner for ALL SORRY
 
i think my honeymoon period is well and truely over .but i must admit i had an easier time when i was in it .im off work this week (picked the right 1 to be off)but when im in work i give myself a bit less bolus as i work in a care home and its non stop and that usually works out fine for me get the initial spike but back in range by next meal .getting bk to your reply maybe your right about pancreas as i cant think of anything else as i wasnt doing anything physical just lolling in the shade this morning i have have bgs of 5.8 b4 brekkie so all good and im not planning on doing much today its absolutely boiling already thanks for support the rower have a great day
 
i like going to them chinese buffet places were you eat all you can i split my bolus for that as im never sure what im going to eat but i must admit i never guestimate very good but hey ho get bk to decent levels in the end
 
GGGGRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!! Had a Libre sensor fail and because of that I fogot to top up with lantus this morning, so normalish breakfast and now all 11.6 with an up arrow, Butt Monkies, is all I have to say blat some corrective in and see what happens.
 
Ha ! @Mel dCP, the 'diabetically boring' day reminds me of Spike Milligan who used to parody a weather reporter on the Goon show: 'Winds light to variable'.
 
Thank you. @karen8967 . Things are looking up, with some exercise and basal down to + 10%. First cold virus in about 6 years and lasted 3 and a bit days. I swear by regular winter intake of Vitamin D (not C) as a preventive !!
