Morning All
So 7.2 this morning. Weather here changed from Arctic to wet & miserable. Oh well I get to meet the little fella today so life is sweet. Take care everyone, get better those who need to.

Whoop whoop!!
6.1 this morning! Another drop and THIS close to getting into the hive.

@PenguinMum when my 1st grandchild was born, while looking for a greetings card to send, I found a wee porcelain heart which read “grandchildren fill the space in your heart you didn’t know was empty” So true.
@Ashybang congrats on your result and fingers crossed you aren’t coming down with anything
@DEBBIESCOTT for the first time ever I had a Libre fall off (literally) on Saturday. I rang Abbott, and a new one is on its way. Meanwhile I feel lost without one. Incidentally, the FreeStyle Libre uses a small needle as part of the sensor application process. No needle is left in the site at all, it’s how the flexible soft filament is inserted under the skin.

7.9 not great but at least ( just ) under 8 which I class as being too high .

Morning all. 9.2!!!! I know I had a bad night and still have pain but 9.2?? I'm in shock and not sure which way to turn. Hope everyone else has a good day.

Sorry you are not feeling great. Did you do a 2nd test on a different finger as confirmation?
I get rogue readings for no apparent reason but I try to distract myself with something enjoyable and not stress over it. Stress really affects my readings.

Morning all from Sopping McSoppingplace. Fbg of 5.1 at 4.too stupidly early then 5.4 at 8.25 ish. Sub-optimal for me when things are as fully functional as they'll ever be again but not drastic. @PenguinMum yesterday must have been a-maze-ing.

FBG of 6.0 this morning after a late start. Missed my Sunday swim spot, probably just as well it is perishing out there and not much better inside. The feline is shivering in his paws and shovelling food down like he's stoking a boiler. I think hedgehogs have the right idea, I quite fancy a bit of hibernation until the weather is warmer.

Have a good Sunday all

I have a feeling this winter is really going to drag. Usually after Christmas it feels like the end is near and spring is on the way. This year just feels different

6.5 this morning and a day off, I have the lights on as its so dark! Not sure if its the weather or area I live in but its horrid. Anyway off for a work out, at least I don't need to wear a hat and gloves today like the other day it was so bitter!

 

[JohnEGreen]

5.0 this morning it was.

6.3 FBG this morning. Possibly the roast parsnip tipped me over the edge, but it was so worth it. Monday again and I have to work today, meh!

OH won't have a hot water bottle so I've claimed his and started taking two to bed with me and now at 9:00 in the evening I am sitting with a hot water bottle behind me and a thick arran cardi on to keep me warm. Were not skimping on the heating either, I just can't seem to get warm - one of the down sides of low carb I suspect.

I wonder if it is due to low carb as I was never like this before diagnosis, I did have more meat on my bones back then though! Hubby is a lot lighter also now and sits there shivering until the heating is on.

Rosemary give yourself some leeway, bad sleep and pain can impact on numbers . Its only one number its more important to get some good sleep and decent pain relief, if you can get the latter the former might be achievable.

As soon as I dropped carbs I felt freezing cold, even my GP remarked how cold my hands were. However according to Microsoft A!, Carbohydrates do not keep you warm,
,,, "The body generates heat through metabolic processes such as digestion, respiration, and muscle movement"

Not sure I'm convinced.
