6.1 this morning. Stress I'm sure so need to work out ways of coping.
@Hiitsme I think I need to do the same.
Up all night with a red hot 2yr old. I have an appointment today and supervising the shopping. Was hoping a few hours with just me and o/h tonight for a change. My mum sitting. Calpol in reserves. lol I always feel guilty but for my sanity it has to be done.
Why too much pressure this time of year!
I need a relaxation room or house off Santa. lol

So hard when you don't get the break that you had anticipated. Hope you do manage to get out next week. As you say stress does affect levels but in your situation you don't have much choice but to react to situations. I can remember when mine were small but a long time ago. For me it's silly little things that stress me such as cooking with some things taking me much longer to prepare. I now am trying to do all the preparation first so everything is ready when I start cooking. You can't do that with children and their needs. I'm also aware for me everything takes a lot longer now so need to accept that and plan accordingly.

Good luck with your test tomorrow @Annieok
Thanks! I'm beginning to realise that I'm only at the start of the journey and there's many a twist and turn ahead. I'm not sure what the c peptide test will show but hopefully it will help figure out the best course of treatment.

cpeptide test shows how much insulin your body is making and using. It is used to tell what type of diabetes you have, there is a page on it on the main site and I think diabetes UK have some info about c peptide test.

My fbg this morning is 4.9 increased insulin and steroids because I have got a chest infection and sinusitis :(.
