Good luck
Good luckAnother day, another headache. 5.1 this morning,
d day -2 I know my fbg have much lower that this time last year so I’m anxious about my results. I spent last night trailing through my medical notes online to find my last hba1c. Wish me luck peeps.
I’m t2 insulin dependant who has tried to adopt LCHF and I start to panic ( worry) about what else I could do if my levels haven’t declined again.
I was not advocating not testing, just flagging up how taking readings can become an end in itself. In my case the pursuit of lower numbers did more harm than good when I analysed all the data from full bloods. It gives a snapshot of bg levels and no more - caveat emptor territory IMHO.Hi ... Initially I ate exclusively to my meter then figured I had well figured it all out. I stopped testing and 6 months later I was surprised by the numbers . Slowly but surely I had edged up , little by little. It seems I need a fairly regular test to keep me within range. If you can do it without testing thats great, its more than that its fan bloody tactic and more than I. can muster. Maybe later I'll slacken off to testing once a week or maybe once every few days.....
I think I am having a wine problem.
Me too I've run out.
maybe a dodgy insulin johnMorning all a even 6.1 today, had really high readings all weekend into the very high 30's with zero explanation, no changes to eating patterns (even ate less than normal) lots of walking and exercise everything that normally keeps me low, I put it down to a glitch in my thingy-me-bob, my doodah is broken , ah well onwards and upwards.
Take care everyone.
Sympathy John. Why is diabetis so contrary, I think thats the word I mean. Random left of field numbers for no good reason even when you are really careful.I have not eaten any thing since 12:30 just tested and at 9.3 I'm not a happy bunny either this Monday is turning out to be a major disappointment.
Yes thanks I know it's going to be higher when I also taking the whole drink. But really i wanted that drinkI hate it when I do that.. but it’s the best excuse to eat chews. Hope you’re ok mr D
Did you do it twice? Faulty strip?I have not eaten any thing since 12:30 just tested and at 9.3 I'm not a happy bunny either this Monday is turning out to be a major disappointment.
Hope you have a good night sleep and have a better day tomorrow.Night all sugars are 6.0 tonight honestly sometimes you cant do right for doing wrong my sugar was somewhere between 12.0 and 14.0 so I gave one unit of novorapid i checked around 45 mins later and on the libre I’m 5.0 with a straight arrow down so I ate two slices of toast and a couple of squares of chocolate my sugar is only 6.0 now but I’m just going to keep a gluco juice at hand also just wondering what happened the other night I woke up and I had my hands in front of my face and my hands were all blurry I wasn’t low so I have no clue what happened anyway sleep well everyone
