Cold, wet weather.
After a night of bad dreams, it wasn't a good idea to watch the late night news before bed at 12.30 am, so a very restless night and went from a 5.6 at midnight to an 8.0 this morning at 6.30
Long walk to work this morning for punishment, too windy to cycle!
Have noticed that I get cramp in my calf muscle if my sugar levels are high. Low numbers, no cramp.
Hi berylc. I sometimes get calf cramp too. It's usually during the early hours, so put it down to dawn phenomenon. Don't think it's unusual...just painful.

A 5.9 this morning :) :) :) Wasn't great before bed but with a decent sleep I'm more myself. Fast heart beat rearing its ugly head when lying down again. It might be too much levothyroxine again as I've lost approx 4kg in a month. Seeing specialist next week. Hba1c, thyroid, kidneys and liver bloodtest tomorrow morning. Let's see!

9.0 @ 6.15 Full of the cold, so looks like my liver is trying to 'help' me by dumping sugar. What a way to start 10 days off work on holiday :(
Off to Stornoway (Lewis, Western Isles) for Hebceltfest and the weather is awful :(
Oh honey. I hope you have a jolly hollibobs. Not fair that you're poorly. I'm waving my "sun stick" for you, it might help.:rolleyes:

4.9 today - was about to head off for morning walk when I tripped on a bag left in a ridiculous spot by "helpful" teenager. Horrible feeling I've broken a toe :( So no walk and limping I to work to grovel to boss and then I think it's the walk in centre :(
:grumpy:Sorry honey, bad luck.

T2 Contolled by diet only. No drugs. 7.0 before breakfast. Not bad. It'll go down as the day progresses. Average of all readings for 3mths is 6.6.
We have some uke players (or at least other halves) on "What are you doing right now thread":)
