Cricket pads?good morning all

mysterious mist this morning and the weather prognostication is for rain this afternoon so we may go over to mum's to do some log stacking this morninghomemade bacon and veggie soup is in progress so that's lunch taken care of.
Still nursing the lump on my shin and contemplating aquiring a pair of shin guards to add to the gardening equipment
Apostasy - only to be used for the noble game!Cricket pads?
Hi all. Blood sugars were 5.1 this morning. It seems that the flu bug is finally out of my system.
@Mick1959 -- The higher blood sugar levels, you've seen at 4 a.m. and also later in the morning are probably also due to dawn phenomenon. Often we observe normal blood sugar levels during the day, but still keep seeing higher levels early in the day (at least for a while). I gather it took at least half a year on low-carb for me, until fasting levels came down also (this happened even though my first two HbA1c during this time were already in the non-diabetic range). So, what you are observing is not unusual.

Ye wouldnt cocoGood morning one and all
To all you posters with low numbers ( that's anything below my numbers ) I beat you with an 8.2 this morning hehehehe. Nuts I say, don't eat nuts before going to bed, Oh and yes I am nuts as well.
Our used to swipe you with her paws if the mood took she would also sidle up for a stroke then give you a quick nip when she had had enoughHi all. Blood sugars were 5.1 this morning. It seems that the flu bug is finally out of my system.
@karen8967 -- A friend once said, for cats we are just human can openers. I still like to think that maybe we are a bit more meaningful than this. Our cat is now older, a bit more settled, so we get more sleep. In the beginning, when she got bored at night, she jumped on the bed and started walking forth and back (not on the bed, but on hubby's and my body) until we got up and went to play with her. So, they can be really selfish little buggers, but so cute, just like your cat.
@Peadair O Brionn -- The dawn phenomenon is due to a release of hormones (cortisol, adrenalin, growth hormone, glucagon) to give us a spurt of energy to prepare us for getting up. This is normally counterbalanced by insulin (in normal people). In diabetics this release of hormones, however, often leads to a rise in blood sugar levels either because we don't produce enough insulin and/or because we are insulin resistant (and the action of insulin is not as effective).

@dogslife -- Sorry to read that your hospital appointment got cancelled. Living with constant pain must be exhausting.

Fantastic news k.where you going on holiday xGood morning everyone
9.25am BG was 5.8
Had a very early morning dressing changed appointment so later today, it seems to work testing later.
Good news the nurse says my skin graft and the infection is now healed so no more dressings Hurrah!!
Can now look forward to our holiday has long has I use factor 50 sun lotion which my doctors have given me,hopefully this should help with sun burn when I'm walking around abroad,because we do more walking than sitting in the sun.
Fingers crossed this carcinoma is my last.K

Morning ziggy_w. Glad to hear that you are finally over the flu. These virus type illnesses can linger for ages especially when you have other conditions to deal with. Good fbs for you this morning.Hi all. Blood sugars were 5.1 this morning. It seems that the flu bug is finally out of my system.

Ok so this morning my FBG was 6.7 . Now that’s the highest I’ve been in the 12 days since I started testing normally under 6 . Had a livlife sandwich with cheese last night before bed and went to bed with s reading of 6.0. Which was also higher than normal . Think the sandwich supper will have to stop
Can someone explain this dawn phenomenon to me as I don’t have any idea what it is
Have a lovely day people
