6.4 today., and I am cntinuing with the daily mile, though it has increased to exercise for an hour at leasr each day. This will become an ingrained part of my daily routine, and I thank @DEBBIESCOTT for the suggestion and encouragement. Serendipity in a low chat thread.:)

Hi Marianne sorry to see you have a foot ulcer and hope it heals quickly for you, I totally agree it is a long haul thing the Diabetes and needs constant monitoring to regain control but perseverance will always win so good on you. Best Wishes K

Hi, it healed very well and I was discharged from the foot clinic in November.

Too many to list here . . .
7.6 - Well, this is interesting, after a self-indulgent self-induced sugar rush, it involved chocolate biscuits and hot chocolate - totally nice -, I got a, yikes, 14.5 at 5:30pm. Yes, thoroughly washed and dried fingers. Then, and only 2 hours later, I’m back to 7.5. And, well this morning it’s this 7.6. Does this possibly mean that my EndoSys has finally “got with the program” and becoming obedient to my wishes? If so, I’m happy with this.

4.8 this morning. My 'normal' range.

I also managed some decent sleep last night, which has been a rarity recently. Yesterday I was in a miserable grump most of the day so feeling almost human this morning is a vast improvement!

Morning All. 6.7 so yo yoing again. @Estragon great comeback but watch it its so pesky. @Marianne67 good about the foot healing and today’s score! @karen8967 thanks for yesterday’s wisdom. @ultradad hope you and your daughter don’t get too sick. Lots of snuggling with videos. Take care out there, stay safe, stay well All.
Has to be a "winner" for the upbeat response so positive and caring.

So I think these test strips may be measuring about .5 of a point below my Tee2 and my old Sinocare Safe Accu - if it is accurate all I can say is - WOW!. 4.5 this morning!
