5.9 on the finger prick. A bit lower on the CGM and no scary spikes yesterday, just slow rises and falls as day progresses. Drops down below 4 overnight and I dearly wished it would stay there but sadly not.

A scary 3.4 this morning. I'm going to contact nurse at doctor's surgery on Tuesday and ask if I'm maybe wise to reduce some of my meds? I ate well yesterday, so it's not that.....all I can think of is the meds

My mum's plum tree is very bountiful this year. I'm hoping she doesn't give me too many next time I visit!
11.0 today. Forcing down some pâté dropped it to 9.0 in an hour. Going to have to keep up this habit no matter how painful :/

I feel this right now. I am struggling and feel very overwhelmed. But I know I have to keep going and turn it around.
Is there anything particular you are struggling with?

Thanks @philly1991
I'm struggling with most of life but the specific problem above is that I hate eating in the mornings, in fact my body isn't comfortable with food until about 4pm. But eating a snack when I get up stops my liver producing more glucose. I don't want double figure BGs all day if I can drop them by eating, but it's quite a battle to force food into my mouth.
Maybe if I do it every day I'll get used to it? Time will tell...

- over selling.... oh so many things are enthusiastically oversold
Morning all.
My libre says nine point one. That’s the highest morning reading I’ve ever had and I’ve been testing for around ten years
I have an nhs endo meeting in September and I’m reckoning that a higher dose of insulin may be recommended
Yesterday I had a scan of my pancreas- fingers crossed alls well in that area
Beautiful sunny day here and the seagull chicks are screaming for food. Despite their reputation I think they are ok. No, more than ok it’s their world as well as ours .
Have a good day all, if you possibly can

good luck you'll be fine theres a ton of low/very low carb options out there for snacking on. hopefully you have a wee list of some snacks that agree with you to top up ur cupboard and fridge. best wishes.
i plan on possibly going for a short swim was a little busy a few minutes ago, as the holiday villages pool gets closer to check out time it should get quiete enough for a few lengths was a little busy just now. i'll try again in an hour
still recovering from a couple of days ago walk... did way too much. tomorrow plan on trying to chase up mental health services for needlephobia/blood sampling issues. i'd much prefer a long term solution that doesnt involve tamezpen & diazapan will take a good while to get there CBT - and exposing self should help. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy works in a lot of cases.
