Hi Everyone,
I hope your all doing as well as you expect to be doing today, whilst dealing with this beast of a condition, we're all burdened with.

This morning my BGL's were 7.9 at 06.45 hrs, I've been in the 7's for just over a week now which for myself is okay as I feel great and that's whats counts most I feel.

Morning all. 5.1 today. Terrible night up several times with the worst cramps I’ve had in months and for no obvious reason. Have an all day offsite meeting followed by work related evening reception to get through!

Morning all, 6.4 - gotta be something to do with fluctuating bp levels, got headache this mooand on my way for a dental implant. Hold on to ur hats it’s windy out there- but let your troubles be carried away in the blustery gusts. May all your tests and trials for today be positive ( or negative if that fits) and have a great day.

@ziggyw That is the result of about 80 hours fasting which is currently my best means of control. @JohnEGreen delighted for you that bg seems to have returned to an even keel

Wow, I admire you. This is a lot of dedication. Hope that the fasting helps to reset your glucostat.

@ziggy_w I don't know about dedication it is a mixture of desperation. stupidity and a gambler's last throw of the dice. My glucostat is probably like the rest of me an old relic in desperate need of renovation:banghead:

Morning all, a poor 9.2 feeling very frustrated this morning, after yesterdays highs and lots of corrective doses I expected it to be its usual fives, but alas no. the merry go-round that is this magnificent condition is in full swing this week!! Well I don't want to play today, so diabetes play nice or I shall have to put my foot down with a firm hand!!

Take care everyone.

good morning all :)

4.4 today

trees are whipping about in the breeze and the sky is black, perhaps it will rain ;)
actually we've had one shower already which has cleared the dust out of the atmosphere and the air is remarkably clear just now. Mostly indoor exercise today probably.

@ianpspurs fasting seems to work well for you :)
