Good Morning, my lovely friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk Type 2 Life Forum,

I am posting to inform you all that at 7:38 am this morning, Monday 23rd May, 2016, after administering all my oral medication as prescribed, my Laxido Orange soluble laxative sachets and my 10 mcg of Lixisenatide glucagon-like peptide medication (injection), my blood glucose level was 5.8 Millimoles Per Litre. I've had a cup of coffee with coffeemate and three sweeteners and 4-5 hand-rolled cigarettes made from recycled tobacco. I don't feel hungry at all, and don't even feel like Marmite on Toast or any poached egg toasted sandwiches.

Yours faithfully,

Good Evening, my lovely friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk type 2 life forum,

I am posting to inform you that I had a good day today. At between six o'clock and seven o'clock this evening I ate a Chicken Curry and Rice ready meal which I microwaved for ten minutes on full power and allowed to stand for one minute. My blood glucose now, at 7:45 pm, is 9.4 mmol. The glucagon-like substance called Lixisenatide along with tap water will bring the sugar down.

Johnny Baker.
 
Called the surgery this afternoon for the results of my lipids blood test last week. Ratio now down to 2.6 (from 3.9). "Excellent," said the GP, "Keep doing whatever it is you're doing!"
"I will" I said, smiling to myself as I chomped on a chunk of pork crackling with my dinner.
 
So I've been getting more 4s recently which I've never had. This is good I think? I was worried 4.5 was too low but maybe it is fine. I'm now using My Sugr and analysing everything :)

I'm having a bit of a cloudy period right now, Penfold, and didn't feel comfortable with it. I liked this avatar though because it has a positive vibe and the sun will break through sooner or later. Thanks for asking though x

It can all depend on how high your sugars were if they were uncontrolled

I can feel hot shaky sometimes between 4.0 and 4.5 but my sugars were coming down from silly numbers

At the DAFNE course I went to they said that 3.5 is a definite hypo and to treat immediately but they also acknowledged that 3.6 to 4.2 could be hypo territory for some but not others

The other important thing I learned on the course and that they mentioned repeatedly that you have to be 5 to drive, if you are stopped by the police and they suspect you are driving dangerously or have an accident they can check their systems and using DVLA they can ask you to do a blood sugar test and if you are under 5 they will take action

DAFNE guidelines are if you hypo whilst driving pull in somewhere safe turn off the engine sit in the passenger seat and treat your hypo re test and get sugars 5+ and you must wait for 45 minutes re test to check if over 5 then you can drive

God I have rattled on a bit soz

5 to drive? I didn't know that.......
 
I can't edit my post re driving a few posts ago

The DAFNE guidelines with the DVLA I meant to say are for those folk on insulin
Sorry if I confused or mislead anyone ️
