Week 1 - weigh in...

4 Replies

Well it's actually a day early but I got weighed this time last week, so this is my weigh-in day! Last Tuesday I was 65.2 kg or 65.4 kg, I can't remember which, and today I'm 63.3 kg. Feeling very good about that but taking the 2 kg drop with a pinch of salt as I'm now weighing myself on my own scales and not the ones at the diabetes clinic. Next week I'll believe any change a bit more!

Still... I'm happy with the direction it's going in and my blood glucose levels, after some adjustment to the long-acting insulin, seem to be within 4.9-7.3. Happy!

Glad you've got your blood sugar sorted out. People don't really understand how much of a difference makes to how you feel, too low and I turn into a shaking, stroppy wreck too high and I go to sleep- not good either way. Well done for the weight loss, it's great whichever measurement you take.

Scales vary so much it is always best to use your own ones, although I quite like going to my mum's because I weigh less on hers!

Well done.

My symptoms are exactly the same. I hate being high compared to low though, I physically can't do anything but sleep. I'm good that if I go low I notice immediately so can correct that. I get angry with myself before I get angry at others... though sometimes I may abuse that if I just don't like the person in general tee-hee!

Just went out for a 3 mile jog. Did 2.8 in 28:54. Feeling good!

You are a wretch. Next time I have a low I will go and seek out someone I don't like very much and then blame my behaviour on the diabetes!

You'll feel grand honest ;)

On a downside, my BG dropped to 2.9 after dinner :s must be the jog. Just wolfed a jam and cheese sarny. Perks of diabetes!
