good morning all

4.7 today

It rained so hard here and we had a howling wind during the night. First really noisy stormy weather of the winter I guess.

Mr gee laughed when I got back from my walk before dinner because I was wet but only down one side of my coat just a weird very short sharp little shower like someone suddenly throwing a jug of water!
But, then it started with wind and torrential rain after about 6 pm and it just went on and on, the rain kept me awake bashing on the skylight in the bedroom finally resorted to listening to an audiobook on my mp3 player.

Lovely bright sunny morning now though

 

4.6 @ 07.31

 

6.1 @ 7.30am seems to be a regular reading for last 2 weeks give and take a few .1s only 5 weeks in from leaving hospital upon diagnosis considering I was in the 20s and Keto was 5.9 I’m feeling better and better each day massive lifestyle changes diet wise especially I’ve gone from over 19 stone to 17.11 so far and counting just trying to keep positive and using diabetes as a big wake up call yes it’s a massive challenge but one I’m hitting head on still got a lot of learning and never read as many food labels in all my life
Many thanks to everyone in this group the stuff I’ve learned in such a short time from you all is priceless
Love Shaun

 

good for you shaun positivity

 

Thanks Karen what else can we do hey not much choice have we

 

None whatsoever shaun and we can only do our best

 

If you are able to do it, some brisk exercise like a walk or climbing stairs should reduce it.

 

4.9 this morning and that was after testing later than usual DP usually brings it up a little when I test late.

 

Morning 5.4

 

Good morning, it is currently 7am here. My BG for today is 6.6. I'm actually pretty hungry right now, so will have breakfast soon. -3C here right now, with snow forecasted throughout the day. Hope everyone has a super day and weekend.

 

Hi Lordbean1
You don't say if your type1 or type2 diabetic or what medication your on people will help if you give them the information.
Lots of help and advice on here just a little more information then you can be contacted by people with same type diabetes has yourself. K

 

Hi Sobo82
What an extraordinary achievement in a short time your absolutely hitting it head on Good on you! Don't let Diabetes rule you ,You rule it. Which is exactly what your doing. What a boost to many Newbies looking to learn more information from people like yourself, what an inspiration. Well done! K

 

6 this morning I had my yearly review yesterday and I’m a very good girl Hba1c has from 9.1 to 6.8 I was hoping for lower

 

Hi lxarix
It's cold but it's not -3 C now that's cold, just checked UK Northwest temperatures here 9C so we have a way to get down to your temperatures.
Your BG is ok in 6s I'm usually in this range but had a few 5s recently but I don't like going into 4 s don't feel right.
Are you keeping well in spite of the cold chilly weather you have,I'd never go outside if weather was so cold,I'd hibernate!! Ha ha!! K

 

Thank you
Just hope I can keep this mind set for the rest of my days no doubt I’ll have bad days and it’s tried getting me down a couple of times in such a short time I’ve had diabetes but Like you say I’m the boss

 

5.5 at 7:30 didn´t sleep at all this night, so had to sleep almost all day .. so now hope and pray I can sleep tonight because I have invited guests tomorrow. hope you all are doing fine and having a fine weekend.

 

We all have down days but if we let the So and So diabetes win we are on a downward spiral and sometimes it's harder to get back. Best of luck to you and don't forget you can ask has many questions you like help is not far away on here,and all the support you want. K

 

Hope your raring to go when your guests arrive,just chill and enjoy, K

 

Exercise plus watching what you eat/drink. Its not easy at all but can be done.
