Hope nobody sat on that chair.
Oops, I’m getting my coat.
 
5.4fbg again. I couldn't be happier with far far less insulin and great bgs. Seeing consultant in 2mths time and hv loads of data for him, already.
Lower carbed foods are making a difference but I'm sticking to the crust of a balanced diet in miniscule portions.
Potato mixed in equals: peaks then keeps steady bg.
Without potato I hv to constantly watch out for a nasty hypo. Basal reduction takes a few days to make the difference, for me.
No hypos and losing weight, losing amount of units to inject is my main objective.
I still only lose if I'm in 5s and 6s.
7s change the ballgame. Always has.
 
At last, I had early 5.8. 2 hours later 5.6.

Fingers and toes are crossed that this is the start of my revival.

no not yet phil i have to have another appointment with dietician think it will take around another 7/8weeks i have decided on the ypso pump as its not as bulky as the medtronic one to be honest i cant wait as levels are all over the place lately either low or high and not much inbetween on holiday they were horrendous and kept getting ketones i was glad to get home so roll on pump day
 
5.4 this morning. McDs gave me a hot choc instead of coffee and had a mouthful before realising! How sweet! So now 6.5 after that mouthful!
Went out for dinner last night, starter was Chipotle Chicken which spiked me to 9.5 but recovered very quickly (and it was delicious) won’t do that too often!

Have a great day everyone
 
4.5 for me. I'd like it to come in closer to 5. I overdid the Fiasp correction last night and woke at 3 am to 3.9 and ate one square of chocolate. Memo to myself: don't correct unless 5 hours before bedtime. Just roll with it. Have a safe day everyone.

I've got a pump change beginning of August and decided on the ypsopump, not a lot of information about it as it's fairly new but the review's I've read are good .
