My diary

[Quak]

Not been at all bad here today, had a lovely 5 mile walk with the dog from 7 till 8:30 and the sun was shining most of the way

 

[Leanne1]

Woke up at 3am with a hypo. Got that under control and am going to try lowering my insulin again. I'm guessing I will be tired today so I'm going to do as little as possible surrounded by books!

 

[ransch]

Not again Leanne, poor you! Why are you getting these 'hypos' and what can you do to prevent them?

Have a super relaxing day. I love reading books and there my view is the fatter the better! I've just finished Gary Taubes and am in search of the next good read.

Good morning.
Hypos are when the blood sugar drops too low. What I can do about is either drop my insulin a bit or eat more carbs. Guess I'll drop the insulin. Lol.
I love reading too. I'll read anything I can lay hands on.

I rea everything I can get my hands on here, from tech manuals to Mills & Boon ( someone gave me her mother's collection). I can't put a book down until I've finished it- thankfully I'm a fast reader. I'm also one of Amazon's best customers!

Lol at bookworms here - i'm one too. Except i've gone electronic now so i sometimes dont realise just how big they are....until DH complains

 

[Leanne1]

The Atkins book club!
Just bathed my dogs so they are fluffy and smell of tea tree. They look so cute!

What do you do for your hypos?
Yeah, my dogs look so lovely right after a bath.
Good morning to everyone on this bright and sunny day.

Morning Leanne, I'm a bookworm as well, and my kindle has made me wore. LOL

 

[Quak]

Afternoon Leanne, not good that you keep having hypos, but good that you are being able to lower your insulin, take care of yourself xxxx

 

[Leanne1]

Just got in from my regular check up with my GP and she is delighted with me. She cannot believe how well I am on Atkins and is absolutely delighted with my progress. I wouldn't let her weigh me but she said she could see I had lost a lot of weight and that I was glowing with health. She then told me to " Get out of my bloody surgery and stop making the other patients look worse." Lol. I love Atkins!

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Thats fabulous news Leanne... I saw my dietician today who told me I have to up my carbs to stop the hypos', told her its when I eat the carbs I get the hypo's!

 

[cokes]

That's great! Your doc sounds fun. I'm pleased you can lower your insulin further, its just a shame you have the hypos, but at least they are an indication that you can lower the insulin. At least you can catch them and know what to do to sort the hypo out

 

[Leanne1]

Dieticians are about 20 years behind the times according to my doc. She is supporting low carb all the way. She knows I have more hypos when I high carb as my body goes carb crazy trying to figure out what to do with them, definition of diabetes isn't it Linz?
Thanks Rach. I'm pretty good with hypos now and I'm so happy I can lower my insulin.
Oh, she did give me a pack of Ketostix and told me to use them. Lol. She knows I won't though.

 

[ladyfelsham]

WTG Leanne, that's great news!

 

[ditzeeblonde]

Amen to no ketostix... a woman after my own heart!!

Exactly... its so hard not to shout at them & say NO thats not how it works!!!

 

[Quak]

Wow - that is great Leanne

 

[Jim]

Morning Leanne, that's good to hear about your doc love

 

[Kat1e]

That is so fantastic - well done and tell your gp that we all want her!
