Dam...it's hard work navigating diabetes without the coughs & colds that seem to be prevalent this time of the year...nothing you can do but wait for it to pass...do you follow the 'sick day' rules?...on a positive note maybe the cold is responsible for the higher numbers of late...hoping by the end of this weekend it has run itself out and you can get back on course.

@Granny_grump_ after the 7.9 this morning my bg’s have been low to mid 5’s so far today. I’m starting to feel a bit better now. Things are starting to move (if you know what I mean).

@Troubled1 i know exactly what you mean and hopefully you won't have any more of the same problems,but if you do bear in mind what I said a gentle medication taken before bed time with a hot drink and that should do the trick only Has and when you need too. And increase the veg I also used to have a fresh pear sometimes and that worked too,it's about finding something yourself has we are all different, but now I've found walnuts and almonds do the same about 6 of them for a few days if I need them.
Good luck K
 
6.8 this morning. Haven’t slept at all thanks to a productive cough. So tired today. I also fear I will be battling the little voice on my shoulder telling me to eat what I want because it won’t matter as sugar is high already and you’re ill anyway.
 
Hi everyone
Like others here my diabetes baffles us at times I stayed at 6.2 all day yesterday and at 3am tested and was still 6.2
Retested at 8 :20 am and I'm now 5.9.
Hope everyone who is having a ruff day with all these bugs are soon well again and back to their BG numbers they like, it's a rotten time of year and know doubt there will be more of us going down with the coughs and colds.
We have no control over any part of our diabetes at these times and we have to just ride it out! K

@Freema just scraped into 5s this morning @5.9 BG, unsure if it will stay hopefully it will but family round later so fingers crossed no temptations. Our eldest granddaughter is coming round with her tonsillitis hope she's mostly over it!
She is moving into her first home next week and we are so pleased for her so we have a gift for her and she should be able to buy the coffee table she has had her eye on for her new flat. Can't wait to see it myself ( the flat I mean) it's in an old converted convent near the hospital I used to work at and they have kept many original features and very spacious too a beautiful building.
So have a lovely weekend everyone we are taking the Christmas decorations and trees down today,hubby went overboard this year so he's made a start outside, sooner him than me! I had better make a start with doing the same inside so will chat again later!K
 
6.5 today......not sure what's happening here I ate very little yesterday after a bad bout of IBS,but stayed in the 6s all day.The night before woke at 3.30 and was 8.0.Not sleeping well just now so the lack of sleep isn't helping.
 

Cold weather has definitely effected mine as indeed dies hot weather
 
Fbg 8.9 it has creped up and no liver block last night. Will see what tomorrow's result is as had to treat a 2.9mmol/l hypo early evening and I over treated it.
