Morning all. 5.5 this morning. Switched to tee2 meter now, and quite happy with it apart from my phone shouting out my bg result! Ive linked meter and phone via bluetooth so bgs are automatically recorded but I’ve no idea how to turn the booming voice off each time a reading goes accross.

A lovely hotel fry up to look forward to soon, then looking forward to meeting up with @Goonergal for a coffee on my way home through London.

This made me laugh out loud. Enjoy your coffee in the lovely company.of @Goonergal . I'm at work filling a skip with more rubble. Took my carefully prepared carton of cream out of the bag....It had leaked all over!!!! Black coffee it is then haha.

Hug for the cream spillage into your bag hope you can get it all off it’s smelly when goes off!

Have you tested for ketones ?

I haven’t tested yet as I have been out today, but I am on my way back so will test then.

Think I may have underestimated the quick acting insulin and walking..... was walking along the Thames and all of a sudden felt a bit odd and was down to 4.4!

As you can imagine this was a large shock to the system...

After running high you need a gradual decline so your body gets used to being in normal range.

Maybe try walking closer to home 'til you get used to the effect of the insulin? Just a thought ...

Yes 100% agree. Trust me it wasn’t planned to go to 4.4!

Unfortunately it was already planned to meet with the family and I didn’t want to change in any event. Of course I didn’t know I would be going on quick acting until Thursday just gone....

Hello all,

A bit late posting today. Blood sugars this morning were 4.8.

@DJC3 -- Had to laugh about this, but am sure this can get quite annoying very quickly. Hope @Goonergal can help.
@Debandez -- Sorry about the cream spilling in your purse. Hope you can get it out. We once had a car where some spoilt milk had spilled. Don't really want to describe the smell, suffice it to say it was pretty awful and took about a year to dissipate.

This did make me laugh, but it’s not really funny at all. Well done with your COPD friend.

yes he's still doing well, my diabetic freind is still drinking leonade in place of beer and my girlfriend with early one set brain problems is " having a think" ..... one day ...

 

[DJC3]

Love it! Made me giggle the thought of discreetly taking your bloods and then having it announced. Bit like those talking weight machines used to be in the chemist I’m sure no one got on them! I’ve not got mine linked but maybe @Goonergal can help. I had to put up with the monster noises on mysugr for a few days while I worked out to tu4n off his mad giggling. Enjoy rest of your short break

I remember those irritating monster noises too, no idea why they have them, can’t imagine anyone liking them.
Also remember the talking weight machines but never saw anyone get on one.
Still haven’t figured out the booming voice off switch.

We had a lovely afternoon walking in the sunshine with coffee breaks either end.
Oh no! To cream spillage! Your bag will stink!

It was into a plastic carrier bag fortunately

Into plastic carrier bag so no big deal. Canal walks in the sunshine with coffee breaks. Just perfect!!!

Goodnight everyone sleep well

Phew! Well done for putting in a carrier first - It happened to me but I didn’t have your foresight, had to chuck the handbag.

Goodnight, @karen8967 .

I am watching South Pacific on TV. It's the first musical I ever sang songs from, at school. I know the songs better than the story, so I figured I would watch it this evening.

Forgot to post this morning:
4.5

Weight loss was small this week: 0.8 lb (.36 kg)

total weight loss: so far 88.99 lbs (40.36 kg - 6 stone 4.99)
I started with a BMI of 48, currently 31.7

 

[Debandez]

5.9 on Saturday morning libre
4.4 this morning libre which I had to finger prick to double check as haven't been that low for months! It came back 4.9 which I'm more than happy with.
Just done a quick scan now and before I go to sleep and 4.9 again! Happy days.

 

[DJC3]

Great results with weight loss @Chronicle_Cat.
Great bg @Debandez - all that work you’re doing is really making a difference.

4.6 for me this morning which I’m amazed at. Combo of early hour, lots of walking yesterday and new tee2 meter. Can repeat 1 of those 3 things tomorrow but unlikely to repeat all 3

Have stopped my phone rudely announcing my bg results aloud! ( gave phone to youngest person in the room, which is my usual rule, in this case it was daughter’s partner - and she sorted it) hurrah!
