Hope all goes as well for your mum as that situation can ever go well. Really hope you fin some helpful ways to counter the worst side effects.

Thanks Ian. I hope so too. The worst side effect at the moment is from the drug Tamoxifen. Which is an amazing drug, but with nasty side effects. If anyone has heard of an alternative, please PM me. I-am all ears.

5.9 this morning. Wondering if this sore throat, streaming eyes and stuffy nose is to blame for it being higher than normal

Hope you feel better soon.

Hola everyone. Back from sunny Spain with a shocking 7.0 at 0800.
Hardly ate yesterday except for steak and salad on way home from airport. Didnt post while away because it was mostly 6ish similar to lately. Ate fish every say but didnt get the rewards I saw there. You heard it here folks Cornish fish is lower carb.
Hope everyone is good. We are off to Lyme Regis for the weekend to celebrate an old friends 70th. Will report the calibre of their fish.

Managed a super brisk walk on the school run in the hope the fresh air will sort the cold and lower the Bg to where I like it

Hello all. Blood sugars a bit lower today with 5.1, hope to have skirted the worst of the cold.

@Emma_369 -- Hope you feel better soon.

Morning all libre says 4.0 meter says 4.6 I hope you don’t mind if I ask for some advice my problem is my diabetes dr wants my sugars between 6.0 and 7.0 in the morning I’m trying everything I can think of to try and get it up (eating more at nighttime reducing my insulin etc) and it just won’t come up

5.0 at 4.30 am. I had the flu jab yesterday and thought it'll be a lot higher because today i really feel rotten. Anyway, that feeling will pass.

Have a safe day everyone!

Probably something like nuts in the evening will have a long lasting effect on BG. Nuts have a mixture of fats, carbs and protein, which should mean your BG will stay higher during the night. You may need to cut back on other foods during the day, as nuts are high in calories.

Morning everyone. 7.4 this morning at 8.10. am. Feel as though I'm fighting a bit of infection ( swollen tonsil, ear ache , general aches and pains) so that may be pushing my levels up. Have a lovely Friday and weekend one and all.

I googled it and got this. Kind of tricky if you are UK based though : https://fightcolorectalcancer.org/blog/medical-marijuana-cancer-side-effects-whats-hype/

Morning all a little late in checking in this sunny morning. However earlier I woke to a 5.5

mojo37 · Sep 28, 2018

7.4 this am had a week more or less of lowish 7's so maybe slowly getting back to where I need to be . Also had results of HbA1c it was 62 more or less where I started 4 yrs ago .

Good morning everyone. A lovely day here in London. 8.6 this morning. Off to see the DN today to see if we need to tweak things a bit with the insulin. Starting to feel a bit more lively as the sugars come down.

There seems to be a broad spectrum of members with similar symptoms and effects on bg. The change of seasons may be responsible or just coincidence. Take care, keep the fluids and mood up and hope it subsides soon and bg comes back to normal.
