I get up 2-3 times at night to empty my bladder, take a sip of water (dry mouth) and usually go back to sleep. Finally when I get up in the morning, wash my hands and right away test my fbg. If I wait too long my bg will probably go up.Some people will say test as soon as you get up others keep their testers by their bedside and check before they get up. Its pretty much up to you. I like to get up and wash my hands first - we are all different.
enjoy your holiday7.2 on finger prick as CGM now expired. I am on holiday abroad next week so not fitting a CGM until I get back as a result will be relying on intermittent finger stabbing and not so strict diet regime. Thankfully this will be after my diabetic MOT so will have almost a year to recover.Not quite the responsible attitude I know but have to let our hair down , while we still can.
get well soonAbout the same. I've pinched a nerve in my left elbow and now I have to make a compress of painkillers and warm-ups. I also caught a cold and the temperature doesn't drop from 38C. Bg is even better than usual in case of illness, it stays at 8-9, but I've been without food all day because I'm vomiting.
Yes, I want to whine a little
hopefully swelling goes down soon for you and in turn wont be as painful. I'd guess you've tried cold compress?8.4 again. Still in pain from hand and finger very swollen and painful. Have a nice day all. Very overcast here.
From memory I think its something to do with your body pushing out glucose from your stores of glucose to energise you through a fast. This is probably a good thing. Here is a link https://www.diabetes.co.uk/body/liver-and-blood-glucose-levels.html which explains it better than i can.6.3 at 7AM. Been fasting since 1700 last night as diabetic MoT at 1230 today. Finger pricks have been high all morning in the 9's even now at 1630. Cannot work out why fasting does not seem to lower my results as gone almost 24 hours without food yet recording very high readings. Not the first time I have noticed a rise when fasting yet it is supposed to be good for lowering BS. Unfortunately that is not my experience. Never mind back to normal eating tomorrow.
Thanks. I've tried cold and hot compresses and the hot one helps morehopefully swelling goes down soon for you and in turn wont be as painful. I'd guess you've tried cold compress?
been up for a few hours now libre seemed to think was 3.8 at 6:23 this morning and been low a fair bit according to it over the last couple of weeks, attached is todays graph alongside last 7 days time in range last couple of sensors seem to be a couple of mmol out vs fingerpricks so not worried
have appointment with DSN today wishing her luck in advance if its her duty to get bloods :O
mental note for self: remember to get clarity on sensor locations from her in particular asking where the most interstitial fluid is on the upperarms. also to point out bruising and a couple of lumpy bits with tummy bruising :/
