Complacency is the Bain of my existence. I switch on take control of my diabetes for as long as it is a challenge but when it gets "easy" I get complacent and distracted by other challenges. This is why diabetes is such a sneaky disease. It never goes away just lies low waiting for us to lower our guard.Good Morning! 6.5 at 0745.
I got my annual HbA1c result online - 42. I was hoping to stay under 40, so it's higher than I would have liked, but still better than I have had over the last 5 years. I have become complacent over the last 6 months, and need to take more control again.
well as long as it works well for you happy daysWell the thing is Lady K my waking numbers are obviously too low to contemplate driving on but not quite hypoglycemic in the true sense of the word. I had a rather extended period of some fairly extreme dawn effect after running myself constantly low for a very long period of time while I was training an awful lot for martial arts tournaments. My body just kind of reacted and dumped really silly lumps of glucose on me first thing in a morning. It took me absolutely loads of trial and error of things to try and counter it and I eventually found one that works for me with consistency. The downside is that I am lower in a morning than some diabetics might feel is appropriate for them. It does however work very well for me. i will confess however that it is not perfect and when it goes a little wrong it goes massively wrong .
how frustrating for you hope all goes well in the morning k.Morning everyone
Late this morning very early appointment at blood dept. at hospital
BG today 6.3
5.9 at bed time night before **** liver dumps!
Got to hospital for blood test today to determine if I have gout, so painful not been sleeping well either.
Only for them to not do it has I told them due to anxiety I chew my gums and lips and the only way to stop it was chewing sugar free gum, which although I'd had nothing else they say it's the flavourings that would not give a true reading.
I could kick myself for just not thinking and popping a piece of gum whilst driving their.
So I'll be back again tomorrow 8.30 ish. Have a good day one and all. K
so happy for you pavlos
Late checking in today.
Morning sugars 5,7 on waking up then down to 5,2 before breakfast following usual 5k walk.
Went to see my doctor again today to review results of my scan with him and agree way forward.
He is finally happy that cancer is out of the question but still wants to keep an eye on me so I am to take iron supplements and see him again in a month's time with some new blood analysis. Compared to the last month I had the next one should be a stroll in the park.
And you know how fond I am of strolls in the park.
Have a good rest of the day everyone
Pavlos
well as long as it works well for you happy daysi hope that it doesnt go wrong very often cos thats not good ive been advised by my dsn consultant to stay in the low 6s-low 9s because i feel awful in the low 5s cant function so when i wake up for work an im in the low 5s i have to eat be work (some bonus there )anyway enjoy the rest of your day and well done on all the tournaments bet you won loads
i bet you wasnt rubbish especially since you was doing tournaments but beer and chips sounds sooo goodNaaahhhh I was rubbish and lost my last one. The others weren't too bad but they were against little old ladies and kids under 5. It was a million years ago and I have now settled into a life of beer and chips Infinitely more rewarding and I don't get beaten up
Regarding blood sugars, there's nothing wrong that I can see with your own
Good afternoon everyone, my BG was 7.1 @ 7.35am today
I didn't check my blood till late this morning as was fasting for blood tests at doctors which was at 11:20 this morning, so I think DP caught me out as I got a reading of 5.6. at about 10:45.
Am a little nervous about my HbA1c as though my levels have been pretty good over all, I have had a few freakishly high readings in the last couple of months one being a 14 the highest level I can recall in the last couple of years.
I had just checked my BG, I still got a spite but it was much smaller. Got a reading of 10.4 just now, still a bit high. But not as big a spite as I feared. We'll see how I am in the morning. I looked at the overall averages, these seem to gradually be coming down. So that is encouraging. Someone on here characterized diabetes as a very long marathon. So I'll try to keep that in mind as I go forward.My number was 8.7 this morning. Not happy seeing the number creep up like that. Think I need more turkey in my diet.
I'm sure your Hb1Ac will be super, the odd spike shouldn't affect it too much? xI didn't check my blood till late this morning as was fasting for blood tests at doctors which was at 11:20 this morning, so I think DP caught me out as I got a reading of 5.6. at about 10:45.
