Goodluck
Goodluck5.1 today
Over the last few days I’ve been changing my ratio usually 1 unit to 10g carbs and long lasting 12 units 8pm each night which as kept me in brilliant control but over the last few days I’ve been going low so done a bit of tinkering like you do but yesterday I went completely insulin free and didn’t even have my long lasting last night in fear of going to low and just to see what happened and what number I got this morning got to be the honeymoon period ain’t it surely lucky I go to see my consultant today for my hba1c results so that’s good timing I guess I must add I’m pretty low carb anyway don’t have breakfast as I go to the gym in fasting mode which keeps my bs levels stable dinners around 15/20g carbs tea around 20/40g

Sorry for the delay replying, Maisie was 9yrs when we lost her, she had to have emergency hysterectomy, we knew this was a problem not having her spayed but she had various medical reasons why she couldn't be done unless in an emergency and this happened and unfortunately she survived the op but the other problems were too strong. Aggie is 10yrs now, they were litter sisters and we had had them from 10wks old. Aggie hasn't been spayed either but she has a heart problem and so we are taking the risk with her as well, we know what could happen but if she has the op now she could die on the table so we are constantly worrying about her.Hi@maisiepug we have two black boy and girl we bought Louie from being a puppies he's 10 now Elle is 11 she was a rescue ex breeding ***** who we had spayed no more puppies for her, I've got vet bills coming out of my ears for the last year Elle with her eyes teeth ears and now she is having investigations into why she suddenly when asleep she cannot get her breath,we think the vet damaged her oesophagus when they did dental work on her last September. And Louie now has struvite crystals so special diet costing £100 per month,but it's what you have to do if you care about them and we have had dogs for nearly 40 years we love them like we do our children.
How old was your pug and what age is your other these are our first pugs so unsure of their life expectancy would guess around 10 years to 16 but like humans we a live to different ages,we never have same breed twice all our dogs have lived to be just short of their 14 th birthdays, cocker spaniels,boxer yorkies all rescued then pugs!

Glad you are ok5.2 this morning very happy with that after last nights shenanigans felt a bit weird after dinner when I tested got a reading of 2.5 incredible felt quite ill. Took a load of glucose tabs and had a bit of chocolate and after a two hour sleep was back up in the 6's but with a pounding head ache and feeling nauseous have no idea of what caused it.
What do you mean running out of linagliptin ( trajenta ).? Or has it been stopped by your GP.? What area of the country do you live in.?
In Scotland we have an urgent supply system from pharmacies for those people who manage to run out of their medication.
Have even had people with transplants who let themselves run out of their anti-rejection drugs
I do wonder if GP’s are a little too quick to resort to insulin before they have exhausted all drug options. My diabetic nurse is already making such noises with me. There are still quite a few tablet options left for me. I will eventually go on insulin but that will for the most part be up to me.
im up and down cumbs but bk in range by next meal xHi Karen ta for the hug
I’m ok now
See you had a decent fasting this morning well done
@Cumberland We love Carlisle it's such a friendly city.Each time my son and family are here from Devon they visit Carlisle and the Lakes,one of their favourite places.
Doc wanted me on insulin before Christmas, I postponed till after Christmas and haven’t gone back yet so can’t get linagliptin on repeat prescription. Admit I was also a little curious as to how my levels would react. Not much difference! Been over a month now. Live in the midlands, it was partly down to the doc but mostly a little personal experimentation! Just trying to get new appointment now to discuss options.
Best Wishes to you, hopefully Maisie will be stronger than you think! K Elle goes to vets for throat investigation on Wednesday will let you know how she gets on!

Ask him about Jardiance. It stops glucose being reabsorbed in the kidneys and is then excreted in the urine. Net effect is to lower blood glucose. It is effective too.
