Still waiting for final diagnosis, waking bs around 15.5 at the minute. Not sure which type it's going to be is frustrating

5 days away from diagnosis, bs sitting between 15 -23. Monitor is showing ketones but don't know how high. Nerve pain in form of burning in my arms and feet,, blurry vision still wreaking havoc during the day... roll on Tuesday.

7.4 so going back up again. No reason, it must be a week or more since I took strepsils which may have helped my throat but not my blood sugars. How many weeks to get back?

I think it’s possible to get sugar free strepsils? Although it will take a while for your immune system to recover properly and re-set itself.

don’t know if you are in UK but those numbers require a call to your surgery to get advice and chase the diagnosis of type. Wouldn’t leave it till Tuesday!
My FBG today was 7.6 but I did oversleep and after Fish Finger Firsday! Still too high for me.

Sound advice young lady. FFF is past now its FFF Fryday. 5.2 here.
 
6.5 this morning at 4:40am after being ubruptly woken from the neighbours. Who slams their furniture around at that time and gets a window cleaner in when its raining! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Been falling asleep all day due to their selfishness

10 this morning. Definitely not great. As crazy as it sounds sometimes I find it hard keeping up my motivation though eating carefully today.

Hello and welcome back.

Agree this morning's FBG isn't great. One approach is to have your evening meal no later than 18.00 and avoid snacks afterwards.

Logging my results on this thread, it must be said, helps to keep me motivated, especially when readings drift upwards due factors beyond our control like infection.
