Hi Bubbsie. Thanks for your response.
Hi Bubbsie. Thanks for your response.dogslife that does sound a ridiculously low amount of strips...if they recognise the need to test...then the restriction of 150 per year is not acceptable...if you are a driver you have to test before driving...then every 2 hours thereafter...even if not a driver...I still believe they should increase your testing strips allowance...on a point of principle after funding my testing strips for almost a year...I asked my GP to prescribe them...he said the CCG would not allow it...so I wrote to the CCG...quoted the NICE guidelines ...justified my need for them...finally the CCG conceded...now I have them on prescription...have you asked your surgery to increase the amount...if so...what response did you receive...honestly all this penny pinching is not in the long term beneficial or cost effective to anyone.
Enjoy your day Bubbsie. Sounds like you deserve it!Morning...late posting today...the last two days have been manic...off to work...getting home in the early hours of the morning...out of the house the following day 7am...feeling wrecked...eating (badly) on the run...yesterdays menu included a custard tart,...crisps & other contraband...too ashamed to admit what I ate last night...amazingly & inexplicably woke to a 4.9 this morning...believe I was saved only by all the activity from the last two days...which included shinning up and down five flights of stairs many times in the multi storey car park ...the lift wasn't working...nothing planned today...more coffee...a leisurely stroll with Harry...then rubbish TV...today is mine!
I will thank you...freezing cold here...but the sun is shining...great walk with Harry...back home now to do absolutely nothing!Enjoy your day Bubbsie. Sounds like you deserve it!
@maisiepug We have been out to a dog cafe in one of the local garden centres this afternoon so many with there dogs and lovely young pugs it has funnily enough helped us we were just getting so upset staying in our Louie enjoyed meeting other dogs too..Oh Granny_grump_ I am so sorry to hear of your so sad a loss, I know how heart breaking it is I still miss Maisie pug so much and it was nearly 10 months ago that we lost her. When I am feeling really low about her I listen to a song on you tube, it is One More Light by Linkin Park and is a tribute to all the losses everyone has had, it makes me cry so much but strangely then it makes me feel so much better for a while. We found it helped Aggie pug to go to the places we used to go for our walks so that she could see Maisie wasn't there because she missed her so much. Also she wouldn't eat and so we had to hand feed her to start with. If you need to vent your feelings please message me and we can do it together.
Hi Keesha. 6.1 is still OK. This diabetes has a will of it's own! "Its a mystery" sometimes. Enjoy your weekend.A very happy weekend to everyone here. My fbs this morning has gone up to 6.1. No idea why as I ate the same food.
@dogslife we have been out with Louie to a doggy cafe this afternoon enjoyed it,so many lovely dogs to stroke it was lovely, thank you for your kindness! KThanks, Granny_grump. I'll make a note of your information. Hope you are feeling better today after your recent experiences.
Sorry you are feeling frustrated with your levels at the moment, pleinster. I'm sure we all understand how that feels when you think you are doing everything right. This diabetes is so unpredictable and can be affected by so many things as you already know. I'm sure your levels will soon be back to where you want them to be. Take care and don't beat yourself up too much.Things all heading in the wrong direction atm. 8.8 this morning ! I even hit a 9.5 mid day for no reason I can see. Not exactly the 5-6 range I was managing. Think I shall have to be very strict for a bit...but not sure I am in the mood.
That sounds lovely to me. I have always loved dogs. Although I've never been able to have one as a pet I can't resist giving them a little fuss whenever I meet one. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.@dogslife we have been out with Louie to a doggy cafe this afternoon enjoyed it,so many lovely dogs to stroke it was lovely, thank you for your kindness! K
@WuTwo pleased you've got Dizzy through the first week and hope he make a good recovery,well has good has it can! K best wishes to you and Dizzy5.7 first thing this morning, and it's good to be home; my very favourite place.
Went back to the vet with Dizzy yesterday and he is doing OK but it will be a long haul to fix what she somewhat graphically termed "that enormous crater of an ulcer". But it is healing and she hopes that eventually he will regain some minimal level of vision in that eye. So fingers very crossed for him but he's walking nicely on the lead on paths where there isn't much traffic, and enjoying pottering around fields with a guide human to stop him walking into disaster.
Wow Cumberland whatever is happening with your BG one day your in range then sky high?13.9
Have a good day peeps
Your doing ok, this diabetes is at times hard but we now know we can if we try control it not the other way round!6.0 at 6:55
