Morning All 8.6 so very disappointing after only eating mixed seafood, no sauce, salad no dressing and two small slices of olive sourdough early afternoon. It must be dynamite! Hugs to all who need them.

libre 5.3 today. after saying 4.2 before got out of bed all in space of around 15 minutes - possibly compression low. cba with fingerprick. heavy rain started alreay here and wind picking up. amber weather warning. so glad went mainland a couple of days ago rather than waiting until today.. choppy waters and ferries don't mix well for me

Thank you. I'm keeping a close watch but apart from being tired he is doing great. He has to have check up in a few weeks to make sure all the infection is gone. Its strange, it came on from nowhere and he was not in pain, not covid as they checked, and even the hospital were baffled so a complete mystery still it brought home to us how very fortunate we were. We could have been stuck up in the lowlands for Scotland with nowhere to stay. Someone was looking down on us.

wishing him a swift recovery

Not really sure what to count as FBG because libre she says 6.1 before getting out of bed then rising into the 7's so unless I start back doing the meter check as well ...I will go for a middle of the road number ie 7.3 ? I managed to stay in the " green" all day yesterday so using the Libre it is very useful if some what expensive .View attachment 73417

maybe choose another time 10-15 minutes after get out of bed. i've found libre reads lower whilst laying down in bed and can take a little while before it starts to correct itself (still reads a little lower taking delays into account). there are some people which libre can read a little higher just depends on the person i guess everyone is different hydration also appears important to more accurate readings. Any pressure anywhere 'near' the sensor can appear to cause lower readings. research 'libre compression low' happens with dexcom too.

Slept badly which may have something to do with it.

hopefully this evenings sleep is more restful for you

7.5 again. Off for a work out but somehow have to get back to my normal fastings, as this has been going on for months now.

5.7 this morning. Creeping up so need to keep an eye on things. Have an HBa1C test on Thursday morning, so will be interested to see if there is a change from the last one, which was 75.
