wow I thought that was a misprint till I saw that u are type 1 . Do u often get such low readings ?
Recently i have been i have to take metformin with my insulin as im very insulin resistant/sensitive so my liver doesnt kick in when im hypo but fingers crossed i have still got pretty good awareness

It is beginning of Ramadhan holidays and i need all the rest i can. Yesterday started with 5.8 which i was happy about. I had some check ups..

Eyes for my reading glasses- they say there is no change.. so i just continue my current glasses.

Had my blood tests too - HbA1c is at 6.6% which I think corresponds to 48 mmol / mol in the UK system. Not ideal yet, but better than where it was sometime back. Not sure how much lower I can bring it to...

My Vitamin B12 was higher than the normal range.. doctor usually wants to ensure there is no deficiency but i am higher... i do take B12 supplements, probably a bit too many... Is high level of vitamin B12 problem? I haven’t had a detailed chat with doctor yet - probably next week. Maybe I should just reduce the dosage or maybe take it every other day. Any thoughts?

And this morning I woke up with 6.5
Need to get back to sub-6 levels..... !!!!!
