Sounds like a luxury meal to me thats really a gigantic feast interesting how traditions differ

6.3 at 11:45 slowly getting lower
Freema...might be slightly higher than you want...or expect...but given the festive season...the weather...coughs/colds/sneezes...good solid respectable numbers... perfectly within range...which is no mean feat on diet & exercise alone...expecting to ditch the last remaining Metformin myself soon... BGs on the way down...doubt very much you have anything to worry about.
 
I was 7.9 this morning Glenmac...I blame the curry & Rice...home made shortbreads & Trifle...have I mentioned the sweets...or the after eight mints?...I am firmly back on the wagon now...honestly
 
we will stick on that wagon together,@Bubbsie,we have to live a little over Christmas!!Im like you,just down to one Metformin,so not bad at all.Hope you are not driving on the icy roads forecast for the south,stay warm!
 
BG this morning 6.3 yet again but considering the time of year I'm ok with this, but my review with DN is in January so I had better start with lowering my levels! K
 
Hope your ok
thanks philchap spoke to dsn this morning while in work she reckons coming to the end of my honeymoon period she said to higher basal by 1 unit leave for a couple of days and if bgs not coming down do another 1 unit .also she said to not do correction doses in between but to do them at my next meal so see how it goes feel fine just a bit worried as i couldnt bring levels down xx
 
13.7 for me this morning must be coming down with something
If you are coming down with something Karen...or are not feeling up to par...unfortunately there isn't much you/we can do about it...of course it might be just one of those 'blips' we get from time to time...if it's a single episode then doubt there is much to worry about...if it doesn't settle...you can always ring your DSN...or surgery...fingers crossed there's nothing 'lurking'.
 
thanks bubbsie been on to dsn this morning while in work basically said honeymoon period over and has upped insulin xx

Possibly...could be any number of reasons...no doubt if the increase works...she's right...always worth seeing how things go...good luck...honestly my knowledge of insulin is woefully ignorant...keep telling myself I should know more...but...would be so reluctant to advise on type 1...there's nothing like the practical experience of living with it daily to 'navigate' those hurdles we have to get over from time to time.
 
thanks bubbsie think i agree with dsn which is not always the case lol but tbh i dont feel unwell or feel as if im coming down with anything you feel as if you get everything under control then poof it throws a curve ball xx
