Those figures are way too hi on insulin therapy mate. Did they not give you a range to aim for? When are you seeing your dn next?

Morning all, 6.00 last night at bedtime, best ever result! 8 this morning!! Wanted also to ask a question! Do you get up deliberately early to do your bg?? I've noticed a lot of readings posted at 4 & 5am when I'm fast asleep

Our alarm goes off at 5.30 as Hubby has a long drive to work and has to be there by 7am. I usually test after I've sorted out his food and meds for the day and he's just headed out of the door.

I do test later on weekends and holidays

Morning All

5.9 for me today.

Run out of CodeFree strips, so relying on NHS supplied meter from now on and expecting my numbers to be a little less good....

Think of it as being the same number, but different?

Thanks Freema. TBH I've gone from 380 average carbs per day (I know!) to about 190, hence my statement that I've halved it. But looking to get down below 100 with a few more adjustments.

Well done on your achievements so far. Excellent effort

Welcome home and to your trusty 5's

7.0! Eeek! Not had one of those in the morning since the very early days. Delayed reaction to eating out on Saturday perhaps? Heading off on usual walk and will see what that does. Very nervous as back at Drs this morning to talk about the anxiety.

Please be calm about your trip to Dr's (easily said I know). Let the dr help you. No quick fix to anxiety, but small steps can feel like giant leaps. Hugs to you.

13.3 i have no idea why........

Good luck today, perhaps the worry of you appointment has raised your number? Hugs to you

 

[callyandy]

I have no idea as I left one testing kit at my friends house and she's now away for a couple of days. 2nd kit has run out of strips, New order due home today or Tuesday.

I'll give you a temporary 6.6, the same as me today. I'm happy with that number as I had 2scoops of icecream yesterday at the seaside . Enjoy, and be careful in the sun today folks

You are definitely not alone, @daisy1 will send you lots of very useful reading material to get you started. Ask questions, scoot about the threads, there are so many helpful peeps around who are very generous with their knowledge. Don't panic, 7.3 is a good number to start from, with knowledge comes control, your numbers will improve. Good luck and welcome to our morning troop.

Wow. That's great. Keep an eye out for a late spike?

You where right had a 7.0 two hours later just before breakfast
