I think the onset of spring (including arrival of flowers, leaves on trees) being later as you go north is due to daylight length, which in winter is longer the further south you go (in the northern hemisphere). After the spring equinox days become longer as you go north until the autumn equinox when the sequence reverses. Something like that anyway.

On top of that climate change has resulted in spring generally coming earlier by several days or even weeks, that is more temperature related.

Thank you... :)
 
5.3 this morning. My throat infection invited friends . I have a high temperature, persistent coughing, feeling cold, chest infection and no energy.
:-(

Good morning eddie and thanks, I think that the stability I am getting is from the quite large amouts of flax that I eat ie 100 grams per day.

Other than that its 20 grams of carbohydrates/day [ net ] and keeping all other factors as constant as possible.

Then of course there is ,and perhaps more importantly, simple good fortune.

Sounds more like good management to me;)

I've ordered some new strips as it's driving me bonkers. And my fingers are sore. 7.6 on batch 44 this morning. Rewashed hands and it was 6.5. Some of the readings just aren't credible.

I agree to you mine is the same. Hoping to finish them asap

I wear my heart on my sleeve so no "the caring profession" is probably not for me lol. I am only kidding about your high readings and take my comments with a pinch of salt. Just want to see you right as rain as constant 9+ mmol/l readings are going to make you unwell. Give Humulin M3 a consideration as Novomix 30 only lasts for 6 hours as Humulin M3 is longer acting at 12 hours hence you are unlikely to wake up to high BGs. Take care :)

No probs Eddie, I know you're only joking :-) I get a bit confused with all the insulin etc, when the nurse started talking about 'bolus' I glazed over! :grin:

Nite all, shattered and feeling drained. Ate late as was not hungry as usual and expecting a higher fasting result in the morning.
 
If I am getting up at 3.30am for the cricket what time do I take my fasting reading?
 
5.1 :) Good morning everyone... Family day today... I like being home... :joyful:

Frustrating - any thoughts on what it might be?

Absolutely no idea Rod. Its baffling and worrying. I've not made any changes to my diet or exercise routine. I fear there may be something going on that I have no control over

I had my monthly stats taken yesterday and I'm still losing inches from my hips, thighs, calves and arms but had gained 3/4 of an inch round my middle which would be consistent with the raised bs. I'd only lost a single 1lb in 4 weeks

I plan to switch from exercising before breakfast to the evenings and see if that makes a difference.

Bedtime 6.1
Fasting 8.1
