Type 2 Life

I once had to sit 3 hrs at top of big wheel in Iran! Electric went off! Had to wait till it came back, electric is on/off there, never gone on agsin. Petrified of heights
I don't mind heights as long as its somebody else up the ladder its confined spaces I hate.

I'm petrified of heights & clostrovobic, had to sleep in tiny mud tunnel on/off for years during war, cochroches, centipedes, rats size of dogs everythink, I scream if an ant gets close, any Crawley & im scared! But stick a lion or large animal by me I'm ok,
 
Afternoon. FBG 6.9 mmol/l. Weather is fine and warm. Dinner time and pre insulin injection is 8.0 mmol/l...been greedy today (and lazy) lol.
 
@13lizanne I have Gastroparaesis and when it flares up my BGs are very erratic - hypos and hypers...can be tricky to keep stable. The condition is usually caused by long standing and poorly controlled diabetes as this was my case.
 
I do have an inflammatory condition which flares up from time to time and which affects my bg levels @eddie1968 but it's OK just now, we have had a stressful time with family (and friends) recently so may be that? But Barbara's suggestion could be right too as my hubby and I have been complaining of constant colds since our 'flu injection last November In other words - I don't blooming know
 
I always get my flu jab every year and never get a cold after it. I also had the Pneumococcal Injection after my Acute Respiratory Failure, this jab is a one off and lasts mainly for life. Not given out to adults unless they suggest it. Confers immunity against pneumococcal strains of bacteria that cause Pneumonia and bacterial Meningitis.
 
Yes, both my husband and I have had that pneumonia jab, it is offered to carers/parents of disabled people at our GP practice, but we had it a few years ago now. We're normally fine with the 'flu jab but not this year's variety! Or maybe it's just coincidence? Anyway my highest reading today was 10.4 and pre- dinner was 6.2 eeek!
 
The Flu strains haven't really changed in the jab - California A is the main one. Could be other non A strains are about or other similar corona viruses that floor you.
 
Or the fact that my gorgeous Autistic son frequently sneezes directly into my face hahahaha! We got to laugh
I use to get customers in the shop that did that. They would come to the till sneeze at you then into their hand and pass you money using said hand . Or another one was they would put money into their mouth then pass it to you.
