over selling.... oh so many things are enthusiastically oversold
5.8 this morning but a glass of wine was involved.

I had two glasses of wine and woke up a bit fuzzy forgot anything about testing went out for coffee, packed car for dump run and put pork in air fryer for lunch supper

It’s now nine thirty and I’m getting a reading of five point eight which is pretty much in line with my recent readings


Re : the site. I’ve had many crashes and still can’t use numerals in my postings - if I do it all goes into an alien language

But it is sunny again here !

Have a good day all. ( if you possibly can )

6.3 first thing. Expected a bit higher as had a BBQ yesterday and a 1/2 slice of pitta bread with a glass or two of sangria which was "forced" upon me, Well it would have been rude to refuse so I weakened my resolve and tucked in. Likely pay for it with dodgy readings later.

considering last night was a panicking that my basal dose is too much and dont-care-any-more blowout disaster (9pm shop mission for crisps and chocolate buttons, went to bed on a 12) that's not so bad
Not had crisps/buttons for about a year, they were SO nice

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}.
My c-peptide test was just a urine test

I don't like the alien language, that's why I don't use my iPhone app.
