Yes, lots of connection problems.
5.8 this gloomy morning. A few days ago it was 35 degrees….today it’s 15. We should be thankful, at least there are no significant fires here…..unlike northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan….i feel for them.
leg day at the gym and then housework.

It’s been a few days since I posted …
Early morning ranging from anything in the 7’s and 8’s … higher than I’d like them to be
This morning was 7.8

Getting obsessed with testing my sugars and to see if any spikes … maybe I need to try a CGM for a week or two … but not sure if that will make me worse

The body is a strange thing.. sometimes my sugars are showing as high when I’m not expecting it … and vice versa …. It’s just a minefield :(

if thinking of CGM don't forget to take advantage of free trials :) thats 25 days available right there

10day: https://www.dexcom.com/en-GB/one-plus-campaign-sample
15day: https://www.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/getting-started/sampling.html


for me libre 5.8 sub 4 hours sleep :/ no swim yesterday nor 30min walk no huge drops no alarms overnight :)
sticking with 8 toujeo for the time being. Solution to lows can't possibly be no exercise :O

roll on tuesday for date for c-peptide test which i'm only going to agree if they do other blood tests at the same time ie: in particulary Liver Function Test & Antibody {gad and ica}.

6.2 today, an improvement on yesterday. Re site problems I often get the "Ooops error" but that is likely my own fault as I leave the app open sometimes overnight and I think it just times out. However yesterday I got repeated "SQL" errors which unfortunately is a system database error.but the first time in a year so wasn't overly concerned. Seems all good today.
