Morning All
A really dastardly 8.6 this morning but not going to be gloomy for long as new grandson coming to visit us for first time today. @Welshman1952 thanks for the art work Mrs W is a very talented artist. Have a great Sunday everyone.

Woohoo - hope the visit goes well
 
I have wondered what your avatar was depicting .
 
6.0 this fine morning. It’s a wee bit winters today with flurries and wind. Don’t expect to see much snow accumulation, maybe a cm.
I'm doing a food test…will report back with results but after two days I’m kind of amazed….we shall see.
 
Hi all - busy weekend so missed posting a few

3/2 Fingerprick 6.9 Libre 7.1
4/2 Fingerprick 6.4 Libre 6.4

Today Fingerprick 8.1 Libre 7.8 … don’t like that one. Not sure what happened there - a very slow steedy climb from 1am abit early for DP and 6 or so hours after last bite.

Happy Monday All!
 
Maybe u need a leg up ...one winging its way to you
 
Hi all better late than never a welcome 5.2 this morning. Getting on really well with this ultra-rapid insulin, although it’s quite nerve racking seeing a double arrow drop ( hold your breath time) see where it bottoms out at. That said I know what I’m doing
 
After reading a thread by someone else, it dawned on me that since I have been double testing, I have not been putting my meter kits under my pillow. Too lumpy with 2
So last night I tucked the GN into bed with me to see if it would make a difference to these high unexpected readings.

This morning’s readings, after putting the GlucoNavii kit under my pillow and leaving the CodeFree on my bedside table (room temp 12 deg) were:
GlucoNavii 4.3
CodeFree 6.8

2nd reading immediately thereafter, different finger, same blood drop.
GlucoNavii 4.0
CodeFree 6.4

I shall repeat the exercise tomorrow.
This is the thread that gave me the AHA moment.

Glucometer

Hi all. Where I live is cool in the morning. I refer to my bedroom. When I check sugars in bed in the morning, they could be around 8.00mmol. but when I place glucometer under the bedclothes, I can get a reading of 2.00mmol less. So my question is. Which reading is the real reading? Cheers...
