5.2 this morning

my hba1c result came back: 5.3 and am pretty happy with that

Brilliant result so you should be elated that all your work has reaped a just reward.

A nasty 8.1 this morning ...

6.2 after the 7s I have been getting and the two corners of hot cross bun yesterday that was covered in butter, to say I am surprised is an understatement!

 

[Ryhia]

FBG 6.4 this morning - starting to get over this cold thing, I tested negative for Covid so that is good. Hoping to see bloods improve over the next few days. Cheers folks.

FBG according to Libre 7.8. I think i’ve forgotten what an FBG of 5s feels like. At least after today its a long weekend.

Will maybe have 1 Hot Cross Bun

6.1 this morning at 8:30 but I had a very strange night…

Yesterday I’d basically been in the 6s all day and I ate dinner at 6pm. At 9:30pm my BSL shot up to 9.5 from 6.7 (within 15 minutes
) for no apparent reason and stayed in the 8s and 9s until it trended down between 3am and 4am to settle in the 6s. I remained 100% TIR but the rise and plateau is puzzling to me… maybe related to high protein dinner, I’m not sure. I don’t think it was bolus insulin related because everything was normal (for me haha) until about 30 minutes before the bolus was due to “wear off”, but I really don’t know. If it happens again tonight I might give myself a correction dose

9.6 - Do Twelve Tablets count for an alternative breakfast?

Morning All. Still stuck in the 7s so today 7.8. I don’t know how to get down to 6s. Defo no Easter treats. Have a good Maundy Thursday and good weather promised from tomo.

6.6 this morning off for a workout now

 

[mojo37]

Better number this morning with 6.7 .

Morning all, 8.9 this morning, I have no idea why. I can't imagine having a hot cross bun, goodness knows what my readings would be. I had some sushi the other day and I was dealing with blood sugars over 11mmol/L for over 3 hours. So no delicious buns for me. We are off on our travels in a few days, then spending the summer in Northern Newfoundland and Labrador, the land of Polar bears and sporadic internet. Here are a couple of photos, one is of the Canadian icebreaker the Henry Larsen freeing the ferry boat my partner was on a couple of weeks ago and the second a Polar bear close to our cottage. The Polar bears come down from the Arctic to hunt for seals.

So, this morning 12.5.
Was first diagnosed type 2 a decade ago, had my first routine blood tests since BEFORE covid a fortnight ago (nigh on impossible to get appointments here) and my diabetes has gotten worse. Gliclazide has been added to the Metformin.

Please remember gliclazide can cause low blood sugar. I take it you have means of checking your blood glucose levels.? If you can persuade your surgery to give you a freestyle libre 2 it makes things even safer as they will set off an alarm if you go low while asleep.

4.5 this morning. Eating hot cross buns for breakfast. Wishing everyone a happy and blessed Easter.
