Type 1'stars R Us

Anyway, morning everyone. The noisy guys came and went and did a fair job on the trees and the birds didn't mind
Me and MrB are off to look at a second hand left hand drive car later. I told the guy we are coming by train and he's going pick us up at the station. Nice
Madam content 5.1
 
Good morning and happy Friday

Someone is happy this morning @Knikki :)

Another straight line last night 6 - 7.6 me thinks the current night time basal is correct (probably change next week lol). Last bowl of Krave this morning, gave myself an extra 2.5 units and that seems to have nearly worked :) currently on a 9.1 BUT have 3 units IOB.......

Mornin’ , I’ve a date for knee op - next Tuesday. Much quicker if you go on the cancellation list. The Assessment nurse said they don’t put T1s on the cancellation list, severe face, and I said, internally, well are you going to remove me from it? Serene face.
Wish me luck on Tuesday, everyone, and fingers crossed it’s not been cancelled because this is the guy who puts knees in back to front

Good luck Fairygodmother. Not too much time to over think things there.
 
It's Friday, Yay!!!

Hypo last night, well earlier this morning, not that I tested just woke up knew I was low, checked the time - 4am, scoffed 4 glucotabs and went back to sleep. Woke to the alarm, took the dog out (in the field we walk, watched a Barn owl skirting the hedges in the mist which was a bonus) back for breakfast and 3.6 - I can skate, even on thin ice! :D

Might just go to the Four Candles at lunch time!
 
Morning all, all quiet on the western front, new Libre sensor on its way, had to do some fancy shmancy stuff to my Accu Chek to re-set it all (who knew?) and phone them back if that doesn't work. So between the two, I think bg is okay ;)

Thank you, and no, there isn’t - just doing the washing, looking for good books and watering plants. Good distractions - having people round this evening so we’ll have a farewell to the knackety bits celebration. I wondered if I could carve knees out of radishes for it, or turnips - baldric goes to Japan.

My only questions are; have you got a nightie, and secondly have you arranged your emergency rations?

I hope it all goes well for you. My neighbour has had both hips done. It quite transformed her life - in a positive way

Ah yes, that reminds me, I have one from Lidl, still in the wrapping so I must see if it fits, and covers the bits I don’t want exposed when first trying out the new knee
 
Afternoon all! Having a break on Inset Day, school provides a mahoosive brunch for everyone. Meat, cheese, Danish pastries, bread, biscuits, the whole nine yards. I enjoyed a cup of coffee ;) #damnyouallergies

Not working in Helleford next week now, so I have a whole week to myself. Think I’ll put some serious sewing hours in, tbh. And some CFR stuff. And some lesson planning, as now I’m an official member of the team here at WelshComp :) I get to park HideousSmallDiesel in the Staff car park instead of the visitors’ one now...

Not much to suggest re breakfast, what happens if you skip it? I’m sure you’ve said, but I’ve only been able to skim the thread of late.

@karen8967 my fingers are crossed for your job interview.

@DCUKMod I hadn't realised people wear nighties. I had PJs for my hospital visit and they hid all the bits I didn't want exposed whilst providing good access to everything that needed to be. But there again, I don't think I've worn a dress at all this year. Perhaps it's a pump thing - when wearing a dress where do you hide a pump in a place that is easy to extract when you need an insulin dose?

And today, I need those doses. I've worn these socks before without any trouble but my day has been
7:15 wake up - 6.1mmol/l
9:00 breakfast + dose (usual stuff of about 30g carbs) - 5.3mmol/l (not sure why lower but hey ho)
meetings, emails, chat (nothing stressful)
11:30 preparing for spin - 11.3mmol/l (***?)
11:32 retest - 10.2mmol/l (better but still higher than I expected)
11:36 after hand wash - 11.8mmol/l (correct assuming 11.0mmol/l and did not reduce basal)
12:15 on spin bike before class starts - 10.7 (still, technically a bit high but kept the pump on and gave myself a micro correction of 0.3mmol/l)
12:45 spin completed - 8.5mmol/l
13:00 back home - 7.4mmol/l (things are starting to behave again)

I feel a *****'s drawers have less action than my BG.
I will progress with the hypothesis that Fiasp dose not last as long out of the fridge (my vial is coming to the end). Start a new one tomorrow and see what the world brings.

I don't possess a nightie, and in fact the only time I had an elective admission requiring a few days there, I was advised I could be better off in a just t-shirt, but then, it wasn't planned that I'd be promenading up and down a ward, showing off the surgeon's embroidery.
