I know it’s ok and a lot better than the 8 something I started with, but I like the day to start in the upper 4s for me.
Have a relaxing day......I am going to try to!

Thanks... you too!! I have been in low 6s and am excited each time i see a 5 something... 4s are a dream and happen only before meals... happy Sunday

Somewhere between 9.5 and 10.5 today. :((

Am totally fed up of sticking lancets in my fingers.

Have decided to take the plunge and order the Freestyle Libre setup. Will just have to pay for it myself. Setup cost is about £157 with regular monthly costs about £57.

One of the benefits ( ha ha.! ) of being diabetic is that I can get it VAT free which is a saving of over £30. After all if it is good enough for Theresa May it is good enough for me. Bet she wont pay for it though. LOL

Words to live by Karen, thank you :cat:

4.7 this morning! Surprised me that I am back to normal levels after the past few days. There again my FitBit did read me as having a solid 7 hours of sleep so that could have been the effect...

WIFI, Mobile phones. Smart metres... in fact anything 'smart'
12.9 again.
I’m so terrified if I don’t get this sorted they will put me on insulin :(
Need to make some more changes and make this happen. X
You need a plan! Have you got a plan?
You are your best friend... advise yourself.

Not really. I need to find a way to stop myself from bingeing. Once I do that, I know I can sort this
Have my first appointment with Doc on 18th so will mention to him/her as well.

The best way to stop yourself Flic2019 is to read through the ‘complications’ of diabetes. Scary stuff.
