Glad you’re on antibiotics @Ryhia I had an insect bite when we were in Fuerti, which developed into cellulitis, very painful!

Yes, I was relieved to read that too @MissMuffett and @Ryhia.

No experience of ticks and mosquitoes in Fuerti, but both beasties are prevalent in the eastern Mediterranian and each can transmit some very nasty virus infections to humans.

Egypt, for instance, is a veritable hotbed for dengue fever and West Nile fever to name but two. I'd definitely adopt preventive measures if visiting a high-risk location. Better safe than sorry.
 
Was 8.6 on rising so washed hands and had a few glasses of water as was dry this morning, was at 6 on second test. still high for me but had a week or so of higher carb + suffering from bad neck/shoulder. Will monitor as have the means to do so now.
 
Morning All 7.4 today fed up with these 7s. I look like I’ve had a punch up in a dark alley. Some how the eye injection on Tues resulted in a large bruise on my cheek along with a bloodshot eye. Just need to get on with it all. Happy Thursday all.
 
Hi, when I checked my levels this morning they were 5.5 mmol. I try to keep my levels below this but it's acceptable.
 
9.1 this morning. Not doing well lately at all. BG average on the rise. Just not focused on myself these days. Work is killing me and I have old parents who are getting needier and needier... as a result I'm not planning my meals and have started to grab any old rubbish that's convenient. My annual HbA1c and eye test are due soon so the terrible results (that I will no doubt get) will hopefully kick me back into touch.
 
Hello @TheJoshen and welcome to this FBG thread. It's good to see you here.

Logging my FBG readings here, it must be said, helps to keep me motivated, especially when the numbers drift upwards due factors beyond our control like infection and injury.
 
When lifes tough and hectic, try to keep stocks of hard boiled eggs, cold meats, cheese and nuts handy. Better to grab those than any old rubbish
