Morning all, not much going on here, again, blood sugar wise, but I'm not complaining, blood sugar I love when you're boring, please be as boring as you want to be.

Just put a new sensor on to soak this morning, changing this evening. Libre has had a weird effect on me, I can feel myself becoming more sociable, very strange. Has anyone else had any changes that go beyond better blood sugar control.

I'm thinking I might actually be so sociable that I buy my downstairs neighbour a token Christmas gift. She is early 60s, very tough, been in prison, so if anyone has any ideas what might be appropriate I'd welcome them. I might go for a Christmas food type gift.
 
Poor seagulls, a previously healthy life upset by humans.
Favourite seaside bird-watching experiences are diving gannets and scurrying waders.
 
Morning all - good luck today @karen8967

Not a great start woke at 5am at 16.5mmol/l have only just got down to single figures after correcting all morning, did a set change before bed and was 6.4 then but started rising up until I woke at 5am, insulin flow was blocked, although working ok now, feels like i've been out partying all night (yes I can still remember how that feels..!!)
 
It’s Older Daughter’s birthday on Friday. I’ve made her cake, decorated it (the style’s more of a naive thing, a Grandma Moses barge painting rather than bake-off) and drenched it in brandy, and it’s sitting on the kitchen table protected by an upturned tin. Lucky @Por69 and @Knikki and the seagulls don’t know where the table is

Bummer! I know how you feel! Did you correct via pump or needle?

Ugh, it’s a horrible feeling and you’ve had none of the fun.

I think it's fair to give @Knikki enough time to get there before you eat it, like half an hour, maybe.

Thanks Colin, I wasn't thinking straight when I woke so did a bolus on the pump, with a bit of clarity I would of approached it differently and used a pen from the fridge, sometimes you need someone with common sense to tell you what to do when you find yourself in this situation.

Mixture of cake and in "lurker mode" at the moment.

Keep lurking if you need to @Knikki. For all of us Xmas is a stressful time of year. Maybe the people with an odd street number could celebrate it at one time and the even street numbers 6 months earlier or later. Not sure what street number Buckingham palace is, but at least the PM has an identifiable street number !!:):):)
And here is a bit of a tease about cakes and all. www.OhDeerSugar.com

Yes, I'm never at my sharpest first thing in the morning either! I only ask because I've had so many 'failed' or too-slow corrections via the pump. It took me many years of pumping to let go of the idea that it can handle it all for me...
 
Years ago when I hadn't long moved to Somerset there were warnings on the radio about drunken badgers which I didn't really believe - until it turned out they'd been feasting on the windfalls in as yet unharvested cider orchards. I really, really don't want to meet a drunk badger :wideyed::eek:
