Type 1'stars R Us

Good morning y'all :) 5.3 for me but I ache a bit, the bodys warning that it's aging perhaps :p @Cumberland I hope your Maccy Dees sorts you out, if I ever take the little un there I just drink coffee as I've never mastered eating their food.

2 weeks tomorrow for my Libre review, it's been a pretty crazy 6 months all in all and doesn't feel like I've been cyborg for that long, I expect to keep the device as it's cheaper than me using test strips for the NHS but who knows, if it's withdrawn then I'll be back to the local radio/MP/CCG for a second campaign :p

Happy Wednesday :)
 
@kev-w On the very odd occassion I have been to Maccy D in the UK I also have drunk the coffee and it really has been 'stewed' :yuck: is probably the kindest way to describe it.

@Cumberland Good luck with the Maccy-D

@Tony337 "Gloomey" is indeed a might fine word :)

Well Day 2 on this Aspidistra stuff and it is certainly more aggressive then the Novarapid/sluggish/useless. All SIG overnight calculated for breakfast from a 5.9 and now sitting at 4.9 with the little Etch A Sketch hitting a red but do not think it dropped that low, possible hit 4 which is OK.

Looks like the Miaomiao is on its way to Hong Kong :cat:

Right time for a coffee then start on the SQL stuff again. o_O
 
Morning everyone,

Changed sensor yesterday evening, and so of course I had a bit of a hypo problem soon after. So the sensor was not yet reliable, and I had to do loads of finger prick tests, and didn't get to sleep until gone 2 am.

But anyway, it was just a bit annoying, not much more than that, really.

I did some walking up hills yesterday, this isn't super impressive hill walking, I didn't walk the Munros, or anything, just a few very small hills in Edinburgh Old Town, the Pleasance was the peak, but I have to start small. That might be why my blood sugar went a bit weird last night.

I decided to keep a diary, because I can't walk very far without a downward arrow appearing on the Libre, which is a bit of a nuisance. I used to walk much more, but to do it I kept my blood sugar higher, and I've long past the point where I want to do that, but on the other hand I still want to go walking.

Going back to some conversations about HCPs pretending to be T1D - there must be a phone app out there that simulates being T1D - can you imagine one where you do have to do a fingerprick test before eating, and every so often when the HCP enters a normal BG value it changes it to some thing random, oh and they can't complete the process and eat until they've figured out the carbs and dose and correction and preempt activities and the weather and the moon and the planets and the star alignments............! Oh and at random times just keeps beeping to tell them they are hypo then they have to tell it what they would do about that.

Theres got to be an app..................somewhere!
 
Morning all, sorry to hear about the Eeyore gloominess. I woke up on a 4.9, just having a late start to the day with some coffee brewed in my gorgeous Italian stove top moka pot. A pint of espresso should see me right. Turned the pump down by 50% for half an hour too.

Going to be doing a spot of painting in the bedroom today - dark purple around the window surround so the inevitable black mould doesn’t show quite so much in between cleanings. My walls are two feet thick, so it’ll take a little while, it’s a deep alcove!

I also say cawl to rhyme with owl, but I loathe soup so it’s not really an issue ;)
 
Oh it was going to well :banghead:

Running OK till about 2 hours ago when went to 8.9 and up OK leave and watch, an hour later 12.4 and up so in goes 4units of Aspidistra check again about 30 minutes later up at 14.2 so in with another 4 units. :dead:

Consulsion:

Apidra is more aggressive than Nova and needs to be injected as per guide lines.
Spike will occur sooner then later when, again, compaired to Nova.

Apidra may need less injected to bring a spike down (watch this space) currently at 8 units I would be twice more than that with Nova.

For me, it certainly does not hang around in the body long and this and yestedays observation I think I might metabalise this stuff way way quicker than Nova.

Will I crash after all this?

Proabably :bag:

Might also start pushing Lantus up as well in the morning :bored:

Imperial have built something that does this, although I don't think it's been distributed yet.

@slip My crew have all done something similar with saline, certainly the pump team. They wear the pump, complete with inserted cannula, and carb count and bolus using saline according to the BG values they get given to react to.

I was going to tag you in my post knowing you'd probably know! So thanks for commenting. But I bet the app isn't as 'goofy' as some peoples T1D can be!

Lol - I've written a spec for a similar app that I was working with a team to build, but it had to take a back burner. Believe me, it had a "random goof" function dropped in....
