5,6 this morning at 6,40 am. I have been up since about 3:00 taking endless trips to the toilet. Not the best way to spend the night.

If I am honest I am also a bit worried about the gastroscopy and colonoscopy I have coming up at 9:00 AM. Not so much about the procedures themselves, I expect I will be out and so will not know too much about them, as about the result. I know there is no point worrying about something I can do nothing about or that might never materialise but I don't seem to be able to help myself.

At least the whole thing will soon be over.

And looking at the bright side of things, it's Friday.

Your waking number is excellent. In fairness to you if I was having to go through what you are I would be up all night too. At least it will be over soon and hopefully you can get back to normal. Once again I wish you very good luck with it.

Karen please don't be so hard on yourself. 8.5 for a type 1 really isn't bad at all. I am sure you are aware that taking insulin there is a very real risk of hypoglycemia through the night so waking in the 8's might not be such a bad thing. Figures like this shouldn't really give you negative long term issues. I know you are fairly recently diagnosed and it is excellent that you are actively trying to take control of your condition. Things will work out for you as you gain more experience.
 
Dydd Gwener Hapus i bob un o'm llwyth estynedig diabetig o bobl hardd a'u cathod a chŵn. This morning I put myself into a trance like state so that I could speak to the cats, dogs, birds and my kitchen table. The settee told me that my blood sugars are 3.2mmols. My arm chair told me that I really should try to stop taking LSD as it is a school night. It's Friday folks and I hope you all are H A P P Y that's hippy :) Dog and work yeuk! !!! for me

Morning all 5.8 this morning which I am absolutely fine with , I don't know about the weather though....Feels like autumn is here and the tales of an Indian summer were just ramblings. Best thoughts to all....
 
Good morning all. 5.0 today.

Am looking forward to a night out at our favorite tapas place. It will probably be one of the last warm and sunny days of the year. The weather forecast says 22 degrees -- so will be sitting outside with some rioja, lamb skewers, sardines, olives, and toasted almonds. Yeah!

@pavlosn -- good luck on your medical test.
