@Krystyna23040 I think quite a few of us drop into 3s from time to time. I have no idea when I do until I test - do you or @dunelm have any warnings?

I didn't realise that anyone else dropped into the 3s. Last night I didn't try to correct it but my liver did a correction on its own. 4.8 this morning. So all good.
Beautiful ian xGood morning each. Frosty, foggy and cold and that's just me. Interesting versions of how people deal with Christmas presents. @karen8967 hope the headache goes and the pump transition is as easy as possible. @DJC3 interesting disparity between libre and finger prick - which is also (for me) quite a way from A1c. St Andrew's day brought a joyless 5.4 for me but I enjoyed the PT yesterday and the 40 mins exercise bike this morning - from where I was in August that is my present right there. Off to deliver advent calendars and other goodies later - taking 89.9 yo MIL so good family day between her and this beauty - 6 months old and ok if you like that kind of thing

@ianpspurs. I don’t always get a warning but I do occasionally get a queezy feeling or feeling tired. Worse one was my birthday treat with my youngest son walking up Pen Y Fan in Wales earlier this year. We stopped to check my blood - 3.2 - my son gave me two kiwi fruit and I ate them skin and all, followed by a few nuts. Was right as rain after about 15 minutes and the experience was a bit of an outlier.@Krystyna23040 I think quite a few of us drop into 3s from time to time.

Thanks. Massive family likeness - impossible for most people to tell the difference between her and her cousin and so like her male cousin, her dad and his big brother. People ask why are we moving and will we mind looking after her and her cousins?Beautiful ian x
Grandchildren are by far the best part of a mature life and are to be enjoyed as much as possible.Thanks. Massive family likeness - impossible for most people to tell the difference between her and her cousin and so like her male cousin, her dad and his big brother. People ask why are we moving and will we mind looking after her and her cousins?T2, bladder cancer and Johnsonian Britain may be an awful combination but her and her cousins give me enough hope and motivation for the future. Heaven can wait awhile, I've a job to do here.
Do you feel ill when you have such low reading ? I have had 2 low readings lately ( late afternoon after long journeys ) of 3.4 and felt absolutely awful. The only reason that I tested those two times was because I felt like I was going to pass out though strangely I wasn't hungry !The last few days have been running quite low blood sugars and am spending quite a lot of the day in the very low 4s.
Tonight have just got home from work and because I felt I was low I tested and it was 3.5. Did a retest and it was 3.7.
When I was on insulin I would have had some glucose but as I am no longer on insulin or any other meds I am assuming that I don't need to do anything.

The only link that I could find was the long journeys but then that's the mysteries of this dam condition.i had one or two like that but never that low..take care.
4 is THE Floor, so i heard recently.
as i understand it, the highs and lows are caused by the body being out of balance slightly.
which the WOE tries normally successfully to keep us in trim.
i wonder if the low, was perhaps after something that spiked you.?
maybe much later then expected, so felt safe eating it.
seems it's an action and reaction to more carbs then we are used to, that sets the ball rolling
for the high /low spiking.
an ok 6.0
been a rough week
kept it off here as much as possible,
But just wanted to share what i think is
a nice moment..(not been many sadly)
lost my brother, lads dad, last November, so quite
a poignant time, Not withstanding their current turmoil.
He had an abiding love of Elvis, and as much as the lads
took the pee, it was and became an institution in the home
especially at any celebration and particularly at Christmas.
Anyone and everyone was welcome, so all the kids friends,
girlfriends/boyfriends etc.may of had a musical preference,
but that was of no matter..Elvis was always the order of the
day..His funeral was like an Elvis tribute evening, as horrid
as that may sound to some, it was a beautiful moment.
Anyway, kids gone up today to see brother.
i called to ask how he was this morning.
each day has just had more bad news.
seems he's now breathing a little better, still assisted,
but I've taken to celebrating any improvement as a
win of some sort.
BUT when they arrived, the nurses unasked, and not
aware of the background story i just relayed.
had on the music system..playing it to patients to aid recovery
or for their own purpose i don't know.
But music was Elvis when they walked in, and Elvis until i spoke to
them...coincidence..?
maybe, but if god does indeed move in mysterious ways,
perhaps my brother is indeed looking over his son in his hour of need.
A little taster for those not familiar with Music of The KING.
Interesting link @jjraak perhaps I have not read it at the best time of day it was a bit like reading an horror story or watching a scary movie during the dark witching hours.
For years I thought I was eating healthily based on advise from professionals, governments and the food industry, although I also am partly too blame, I had over eat and binged on all the wrong things, convinced myself I was OK as I Mountain Biked so got regular exercise but in the back of my mind there was always that niggle, probably because I had seen my mom go through Type 2 at its worst, also I was putting on the kilos, it took the sharp shock of T2D diagnosis to make me change my lifestyle and diet, thank goodness I did and I found the forum or it could all be much worse. Like you say all that damage done, we can't turn back the clock but we can be ambassadors taking a lead from the likes of @Debandez and people like her who set an example, I try spreading the word in a much more modest way, I have my kids listening, some friends are interested or inquisitive and believe it or not my three young granddaughters are always asking questions about my diet and taking note. The future holds hope"
@gennepher I'm glad your son is OK. I hope you have had/are having a great time together.
