Can you not put down training pads for your dog? My dog has them. One by the back door just in case, but it's only probably used a couple of nights per week. She's almost 13 years old. Sorry if this is going off track!We have an old lab who needs the toilet regularly, my wife is often out with her at 5am, I wake up, but fall back over, then wake again when my wife returns to bed 20 minutes later, try and sometimes get back to sleep but I’m generally awake 30 minutes later....
I wondered if this might be impacting my fasting blood numbers, so when my wife got up this morning I tested immediately, 5.9 happy days for me, I tried to get back to sleep, couldn’t eventually got up an hour later and tested at 6.5. So is the disturbed sleep inflating my number ?
6.9 - Went to bed on a 9.1 BUT! My September HBA1C is in (Drum roll please…….. ) 46.00! OMG….OMG…. OMG…. Look, I’ve never, ever, ever been this low. Also, I’ve dropped three whole points since March this year. Three whole points! My sustained over night, this last week, has been going down and the overall compression of numbers is revealed with a scattering of points lower than before. And now, instead of saying “ABNORMAL”, it now says “NORMAL” against the Report, I’m real happy. Thanks for all your support over the last 2.5 years - really, thank you.
Ah, thanks!That’s such an uplifting post to read. Very well done indeed.
A prime example of Dawn Phenomenom, @BrianDoc Your earlier reading was before DP could do the work of providing you with the energy boost for the day. The later reading, DP had primed you for getting ready for the day. I find it does make for lower readings if I can catch a test before DP, gets me. Usually fail miserably, because it takes a while for my fingers to get working early in the morning. Either that, or I am just a bit lazy, as I am retired so no longer a need to heed the clock.I wondered if this might be impacting my fasting blood numbers, so when my wife got up this morning I tested immediately, 5.9 happy days for me, I tried to get back to sleep, couldn’t eventually got up an hour later and tested at 6.5.
