Same here! Exactly so! Anyway 6.7 this morning and I am completely accepting of FBG staying in the 6s. @RosemaryJackson there might be other things at play maybe, sleep, pain, worry, the thing about all of us here we care and we are trying hard. @mojo37 crossing everything the tide will turn for you. Take care everyone.Contour 6.6
A fairly standard number for me these days.
A few years back I could get 5’s but despite a deeper undersunderstanding of this disease and lower carb levels here I am
So hope you feel better soon xx you really have had a bad run of it. How you keep upbeat is beyond me. I crumble at the first hurdle at the moment!Libre 5.1
Contour 4.8
Latest blood tests still showing an infection got to be repeated in 4 weeks, roll on the summer & warm weather
Take care everyone & hugs to all in need
Morning all. Think I forgot to post yesterday. Never mind, there was nothing outstanding happening......
This morning I tested at BG 7.3 mmol which is a bit better than recent 8's.
Had a good sleep and I think that was the difference between previous days and today.
Keep at it Mojo. You've had lower before and will have them again for sure.
Had a dentist visit yesterday and he couldn't save one of my front lower teeth.
It was bloody awful, very painful it was, as he never put enough painkiller injection in, had to top that up an additional 5 times as he wrestled the tooth loose, with me yelping in agony..... each time he put more numbing stuff in , we waited 5 minutes for it to take effect. Was in the dentist chair for ages. At times after I had to stop because of pain, the pain started shooting across the whole row of front teeth. Horrible throbbing sensation.
Well eventually the tooth was out. Dentist said it had an unusually long root on it and that's why it didn't want to come out.
As the injections wore off I had more pain for several hours and I took nefopam, paracetamol, and Ibuprofen to reduce the pain, to little effect. As the day wore on the pain reduced and I crashed to sleep after taking lots of tablets. Awoke today and it's not so bad now.... Just the tooth next to the extraction hurts and is a bit loose. I'm sure he loosened that tooth, as he worked away on the one he extracted.
It will settle back down soon I hope.
It was the worst experience by far, that I've had at a dentist and it's certainly scared me off for future extractions with that dentist...... Unbelievable it was.... Terrible ordeal and I've never known pain like it........ I do have another tooth with a cavity, but no way am I going through that again. At least not for a long time.

I have quite a few missing now but as a kid had a lot pulled due to overcrowding. I swear that process weakened the other ones, the ones next to the pulled ones have now gone. I don't trust dentists
Thank youSo hope you feel better soon xx you really have had a bad run of it. How you keep upbeat is beyond me. I crumble at the first hurdle at the moment!
