5.1 at bedtime
5.1 this morning

Pleased with that fasting as it equals my lowest ever.

I hope everyone with bugs and illness is on the road to recovery.

Up late and 26 Posts to catch up on. 4.9 for me, not my lowest, no doubt due to snotty head cold, but as I expected. Went to bed at 6.7, pre cocoa, so expected a lower one. May go up pre lunch as skipping breakfast as it will be lunchtime by time have done dogs. Ooh, splitting headache

Have a bite to eat quickly before you do the dogs .... may be a piece of toast. Might take the headache away. Hope it goes. Take care.

Headache sounds nasty Jan. Maybe something quick and light will help before you for the dogs. Wrap up it looks cold out.

Just a question for the more enlightened than me, when I was at the hospital on Saturday seeing the out of hours GP she did a urine dipstick test and said it contained traces of ketones. Is this usual for Type 2 diabetics or is my pancreas giving up ?

5.7 today.

Big hugs to everyone needing them. It's a rotten time of year - everyone I know is coughing or bunged up. Roll on spring x

Hi Lynn1

If you are low carbing you may be in ketosis which is very different to DKA. Which is most often seen in type 1. Ketosis just means your body is burning fats rather than carbs and a by product of this is that Keytones show in your urine

Just spoke to my DSN on the phone. I am still eating some carbs and not going full LCHF. She reckons I might be a late slow developing Type 1. I've been issued with strips for my Glucomen LX plus B-Ketone sensor.

[eddie1968]

@alibee hope you feel better, reminds me of the time when I had measles at 9. So much pampering and attention, kinda missed the rash was back to same old....

 

[Lorraine deer]

5.1 early this morning
7.1 after breakfast
4.9 before lunch
That will do nicely

 

[Moniker]

6.1 on my Codefree. I am fighting the urge to retest with my other meter.

 

[alliebee]

Now I have a visual picture in my head of a green, slimy, lumpy, bumpy cartoon like @alliebee with pink spots all over
Hope you feel better soon x

Ha ha. The spots were hideous and together with red eyes matted hair snotty nose and hacking cough. You weren't far off the mark
Bg down to 6.5 before lunch

 

[Sable_Jan]

Still keeping in single figures
