Think I've now emerged from the end-of-term slump which was slightly extended by me foolishly agreeing to organise some church childrens' activities on Sunday afternoon. We're not back fully with the children's work, just the three or four families who we know well, (In the Before Times we could have up to 12 or so families who attended either the service that was billed as child friendly or this once a month activities session intermittently and these 3 or 4 who came most times to both).
I do admit, I'm relieved we've not yet returned to the full itinerary of services we'd normally have done during this week in the run-up to Easter either, so I've only one additional service to play for, and that's been cut back considerably, not the minimum of six I'm usually expected to do!
The rain for the past two days meant what little energy I had was spent on some bits of household chores that get missed in term time, and a grand shredding and filing session.
I do have a clinic phone appointment at the end of the month and have been contemplating all things diabetes in light of the changing NICE guidelines and the Libre/CGM conundrum. I totally understand those who love the tech, but as I seem to be doing quite well, on the whole on MDI/finger pricking, I'm not sure it's a priority for me yet. I've also really not been convinced by my students' experiences recently and some really unnecessary level of drama with it all (not of their making, I hasten to add. They can be right divas and manipulative with their staff with functioning pancreases, but on these occasions, I'd've fully supported them if they'd thrown the lot in the bin and stuck to finger-pricking from thereon in.)
