@Terrytiddy that’s good I just worry about hypo unawareness
@Terrytiddy that’s good I just worry about hypo unawarenessHi @Ziggy2017 when I go low I don't feel bad or like a hypo. I took my June graph of blood glucose to my Dr showing a few low readings but he said they were ok as my highest reading over the month was only 6.5. I have halved my Metformin and Gliclazide meds as well. I'm in with Dn tomorrow for my MOT so will have a word with her to.
Maybe if they walked in a diabetics shoes they might realise how hard it is specially for that length of time. I’m still in my first year. So good on ye.Morning all sorry its a bit late, but a nice 7 this morning and as I have my annual telling off on Wednesday I will take it. I used to call it my annual review, but as for the last 20yrs all they have ever done is tell me off for one thing or another, I now call it my annual telling off.
Take care everyone.
Hi @johnpol got my Mot tomorrow as well. I may get a telling off for cutting my meds but I have broad shoulders.Morning all sorry its a bit late, but a nice 7 this morning and as I have my annual telling off on Wednesday I will take it.

Hi @PenguinMum post as much as you like you don't have to feel intimidated on here. We are all in the same boat and are here to help, advise and support where we can.Well done on grasping the situation and taking control. I am new on here too probably for the same reasons as you but I think checking in here every morning will be a good discipline to keep me on track and moreso for the friendship aspect. Often when I contribute to other threads I feel a bit intimidated. Look forward to hearing your progress getting the insulin down.
@alf_Josiah sympathy for the lowish fbg. You do know that fully adopting a continental lifestyle involves more wine, garlic, shoulder shrugging, appalling driving and probably being way more romantic (then energetic) than Brits are bred for? Just so you knowGood Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who suffering this continental weather. From this morning I have decided that I shall adopt a continental lifestyle, with a long afternoon siesta.
A rather lowish for me that is 5.1 this morning.
Well folks enjoy today, I shall and be good because I shan't hehehe.
@Goacher55 great narrative about your progress and really good to know you feel welcome and reassured here. What use a message of support from a deranged old buffoon is I have no idea but I send it anyhowI avoided the feed for a long tine too as I was quite intimidated by everyone else. I was having high results. With hindsight not high, but higher than everyone else.. or so I thought. My switch to insulin was not easy for me as I became obsessed with lowering my bg in my case I put on so much weight. I’m now in a happy balance of intermittent fasting and lchf losing weight(16 lb) , reducing my insulin significantly ( I’ve probably reduced it by 7/8 )
I have been doing that for about fifteen years ever since the MG specialist nurse at Derriford hospital told me that an hour or two of rest in the afternoon would help conserve my available Acetylcholine for the day.have decided that I shall adopt a continental lifestyle, with a long afternoon siesta.
Rebrand it to a Power Nap @JohnEGreen and it will sound so much more "of the moment" as those pri*** sayI have been doing that for about fifteen years ever since the MG specialist nurse at Derriford hospital told me that an hour or two of rest in the afternoon would help conserve my available Acetylcholine for the day.
hope it all goes well for you, but alas for me I am fully expecting the doom and gloom speech " are you aware of what is going to happen to you??????" errm yes! I have "only" had 23 of these reviews before, but do go on, with my interested face on!Hi @johnpol got my Mot tomorrow as well. I may get a telling off for cutting my meds but I have broad shoulders.Lets see what tomorrow brings, hope you get good results.
Every time I read this it does make me laugh...I'll need to make an appointment for my 'telling off' soon...can't waitMorning all a 8.7 this morning which considering the hypo I had at 2am I will take it all day long, and as an added bonus I have what feels like cotton wool stuffed in my head before my annual telling off!! the hypo was my own fault as I had forgot to have any supper or my temp basal after training so completely my fault. Mind you I feel very muddled this morning, not had this feeling before so its interesting to say the least.
Take care in this heat everyone.
