Morning All 8.3 today but my sin yesterday was eating two slices of freshly cut bread bought for Mr P’s lunch. Onwards ….and hopefully downwards!
@grantg I just assumed they did c peptide before diagnosing T1. Its all very confusing for you and you are persevering wonderfully.
Happy Sunday all.

freshly made made bread mmm mmm smell of it makes me hungry miss making rolls for soup :F

the hospistal did get blood todo c-peptide tests when was admitted issue was lipid profile was off the charts to begin with so couldn't be used for some stuff. only picked up on that recently when was mentioned no result for it. hospistal notes, mydiabetesmyway, letter to dr etc all state clearly type1. definately had DKA that maybe perhaps the reason type1 mentioned more often in the hospistal notes (although type2 was initially mentioned it was ruled out somehow). Either way with metabolic picture insulin is treatment type which apparently wont change regardless t1/t2 so doesnt matter t1/2 according to DSN she is also adamant type1 and honeymoon phase its me thats questioning that.

5.1 libre fingeprick 6.4
Mixed bag with weather yesterday heavy hailstones on route to the sailing followed by showery spells. Sailing route had to be changed as too windy so it went round more sheltered lochs instead. It's been non stop rain for the last several hours. Plants and new grass in garden will be happy with the change in weather

Morning All 8.6 and oh the shame and disappointment of it. Shame because it was bread again, not one but two brioche buns to encase my two bbq burgers which did have other good stuff in them. Its only the really good bread that I struggle to resist but I have to find a way. Next time will try one brioche bun open with a burger & salad each side. @grantg I don’t think DNs know the answer to much and I wonder if you should try and get in front of an endo. Glad you got some sheltered sailing in.

5.9 today, 5.2 yesterday. Funny, I’m purposely eating a few more carbs and haven’t noticed much difference is my blood sugars.
the heat is on here….mid thirties by Wednesday. Taking our camper van for its inaugural trip….a local provincial pack on a very pretty lake. Hubby is setting out early to get a spot and I’m going to yoga and then heading to the park. Food will be good as it’s all preplanned and zero goodies will be packed.

4.6 at 2am 12g carbs back to sleep 5.2 at 6am. Calling dsn again later she's said must go sleep above 7. Tempted just to ignore trying to raise them and see what happens unless sub 4. Changing toujeo dose down again trying 8. 4 months ago 18 alongside 5 fast acting with meals, taking 0 with meals for several days. Attached graph this morning alongside yesterdays 24 hour. Was bed by 9.45pm. surely can't be good for you eating to try raise when spikes up and down like that.

Honeymoon or perhaps wrong diagnosis fn type imo
