4.8 this morning - late to bed last night on a high/normal for me reading, but I seem to be back to my standard for mornings now.

Morning All. I love the perseverence of EVERYONE here with humour thrown in. Today I got 6.2 so settling down now I hope, that’ll jinx it. Eye injection today.

That doesn’t sound at all nice Helen. Glad you’re home and recovering. Some days FBG are a side show. Take care.

So yesterday was 5.6, today is 5.1, much better, there seems to be a correlation between having low numbers and me not eating much, is that sustainable for me, you bet your life its NOT. Lots of low carb toast this morning, just to even things out.

There was once a time when I would be so dismayed with this morning’s reading of 6.4. Funny that I am thrilled with that today.
To celebrate I battled my way throught the storm to the swimming pool. A mile completed, with a few aquafit exercises for goid measure.
I am rather chuffed with myself.

Thanks did 50 mins of cardio today so will see what my levels are at tea time (about 6pm). I have noticed my bg has a pattern of dropping during the day to the 5 regions on exercise days and if I have good sleep. Dreading my 6 month test in Feb

Hiya, I have been busy getting ready for my daughters wedding last weekend. 3 days of baking and decorating kept me busy! Not tested for a few days but to work and back on it tomorrow!
I did have some good news last Monday, I had a check up with the diabetic foot clinic and team. Finally got the insoles they want me to wear after my ulcer, got signed off from them now as everything is healed so well. Had a pile of blood tests too, HBA1C is now 47 (was 104 in September at diagnosis) They also did a c-peptide 1190, guess I have work to do to lower that.
Insulin was 62 and cholesterol looks like it’s 4, HDL had a nice little raise
Time to get my head around the new tests results and keep on doing what I am doing!
Stay safe everyone.

5.6 on Swipey not low enough on any device but better than of late. @McHelen that all sounds painful. @Pipp stellar effort. @DEBBIESCOTT winner for Peleton. @Lainie71 go girl for the cardio. @Marianne67 wow, just wow on those results. @sboyce welcome. @DJC3 hug, and @PenguinMum what can I say except legend. @Ryhia hug for the balancing act of cals V carbs. I defo need more than yesterday's 1200 cals but Swipey seems intent on water fast or sky high levels. Nightmare.

Thank you @ianpspurs, I was rather pleased. Now to work out where I need to be, and work at getting there. I think the biggest help was already switching to IF and lowish carb before diagnosis. It had just slipped a little, especially during my daughters hen weekend about 12 weeks ago… none of them were low carb so it was 3 days of carb fest.
