Morning...late again...selfishly decided to have the first part of the day quietly sipping my coffee...Churchill (cat) is out...Harry has been dispatched next door...coffee & breakfast done...leisurely shower...now to start painting the living room...have I said I hate painting...am rubbish at it...no?...well I fudging hate it...and I am rubbish at it...but someone has to do it...so watch this space for rising BGs levels & angst...cover your ears at the foul language and don't stand too close...I'm deadly with the roller:banghead::banghead::banghead:

ps. forgot to say woke to a 5.2

Unfairness/ use of offensive language.
Morning all. Down to 6.4 this morning at 9.30 am after another painful night and a lie in. "It'a a mystery!" Maybe because I tested later than usual? Off soon to help mum get ready for her luncheon club then to do my voluntary work. Enjoy your day one and all.:)

Too hard, hit that wall and bounce back. It's just a number

@SueJB Just a number in one sense but the product of all the processes and interventions leading to that number. A sudden switch from days of low to medium 4s to mid or highish 5s tells me I have either messed up on my own processes or I am unwell but putting up a good fight to contain the effects on blood sugar. I don't really do ambivalence/tolerance of missed targets - number wrong = look-for causes = fix asap.
However I really appreciate the kind words and somewhere amongst all the processes is probably plenty of cortisol from stressing about how I got here and how to sort it all out!:nurse:

I agree about ambivalence and I also find it incredibly hard to tolerate ambiguity. Having diabetes often means dealing with both and it just isn't that easy. As you might remember, madam has been doing her tricks leaving me shaking my head in disbelief, shrugging shoulders and saying a few foul words. "What have I done or more not done to deserve this?"
Well, I go to the less than often quoted phrase "One must have chaos within oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star" Nietzsche
So let's get dancing!!

Hi does anyone know what the Hbalc rang for t2 is please
Click to expand...

note that the green area is the non-diabetic area, and that most type 2 actually can reach normal or almost normal levels of HbA1c if they stay under 150 grams of carbs in a day
