Wow this thread is busy, checking in later than everyone else as I've only just come on and found it :)
@SueJB lower fat things generally have more carbs as they add sugar or other additives to try and make it taste better :rolleyes:
@Robinredbreast you fancy sending some of your nice weather my way? I've had to resort to putting a jumper on again!! lol
Anyways I was 6.2 at 06:55am xx

Well done on the 6.2 :)

Just took this photo from my back garden and my walk was indeed a hot one !

@kaylz91 just think @Robinredbreast has given T1s a boost. Yep, I know about the fat thing but I just thought I'd post because my sister had given me 2 boxes of yuk light and yuk extra light. She thought it was better:hilarious:
Oh dear, you want me to have a quite word with your sis? haha xx

Mine is 18.3 and this is due to a) gym work with weights (just can't get my head around dosing with more insulin to meet the rise in bg b) post gym 1/4 macadamia and coconut bar which was sweet.
3 tsps almond butter for breakfast and my lunch was humous, egg and roasted aubergine, pepper and courgette plus spinach.
A correction dose always feels like a failure to me.

No one is a failure, it can be a hard slog at times, with blips along the way, but thank goodness for Insulin to keep us alive. Take care :)

Good swim that :) a decent distance says a bloke who enters pre hypo territory at 60 lengths breaststroke

Go spoil my day and tell me that was all front crawl :p

Ha ha! Mostly, but also fly, back crawl and breast stroke. We also do drills with arms and legs and it is all timed. For instance this morning when doing sets of 4 lengths you have a 10 sec break before the next one. Great fun and very good for me if you ignore the Adrenalin!!!!

Ugh. Libre traces now looks like it did at dawn - relatively steady and now a steep rise. I wonder if it’s just not lasting 24 hours for me?

Hi guys and lovely gals. The thread seems to be thriving. As you may or may not know I don't post the numbers stuff. This morning was an exception, I wanted to make sure the thread kept going. Need not have bothered. Congratulations to @Robinredbreast on a great idea. I just thought I'd share this with you

It's actually the part of my head that wasn't far enough away from the tailgate of my Skoda Yeti.:banghead::banghead:
As this is a roughty toughty type 1 section , please feel free to laugh.
Looks like my dexcom calibration tonight will be based on head blood.
