[Ryhia]

6.0 this morning.

 

[ChrisT2]

An improved 6.1 this morning. Good start for week ahead, good luck all.

Seven point two at the moment. I have a pancreas scan early next week followed by an appointment with an nhs endo.

I’ve been using insulin for about four weeks now and reckon my dose should go up a little.

I feel much better mind, I haven’t fallen once since starting and generally I feel I have more energy.

Still get higher glucose numbers though , often nines in the day despite almost no carbs.

6.7 @7.30

6.8 this morning and readings have been dropping off steadily, so I am happy with that part of my life Off to gossip with my grannies whilst cutting hair, love it, the joy

6.9 for me today.

Although my breakfast of greek yoghurt and a M&S berry & Seed mix that I normally have has sent me over 10 for a bit as opposed to the usual little rise it gives.

Don’t know about Mir scans but I’ve had chest & abdomen ct scans & told to leave the libre in

depends on location being scanned. allowed to keep it for lower back. Have been warned that will be completely non reliables afterwards for usually a period of an hour afterwards, sometimes it can take upto couple of hours before accuracy becomes within its usual error margin. very very occassionally it may come off. putting on libre sod fingerpricks for the timebeing. replacement being sent out for the libre sensor that was dead on arrival will see how long takes to get here... i'd bet wednesday... when have the mri scan ;o bright side 8:30am so should be in and out of hospistal pretty quickly and should be relatively ok finding a parking spot at that time of day

10.9

Higher than I want to see but perfectly reasonable under current conditions of stress and exhaustion.

Another short bike ride at the gym this morning and got glucose down to 4.7 again. Stayed low throughout the workout, but shot up when I went to Costco…down to 6.0 at lunch and now, an hour later, 5.2
