I know; I don't know how I forced myself to eat it :hilarious:
 
Is this a meaningful vote, an indicative vote, or merely an advisory referendum? Will @Knikki abide by the results? Seriously though, that must be so frustrating, and you have my every sympathy. It sucks when it’s so unexplainable.

Moderately pants day, am currently eating peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon. Wine later. Classes vaguely awful today, I got the drugs talk because the teacher I job-share with on a Friday has PSE as part of her role. Apparently m-kat is often cut with glucose powder, that could be interesting! I’ve not tried snorting dextrose for a hypo, what could possibly go wrong?
 
Greeting fellow colanders. Looks like a few are having a tough time at moment, hope it all settles down soon.

For a change i have had a decent day, still spiking to around 11 but since then have been flatish with BG of about 6.

Think I deserve a cheeky wee bottle of plonk tonight, well half a bottle, I am a lightweight these days
 
Robinredbreast I’ve had both my cataracts done. I was so scared but it is NOTHING! Before the operation my distance vision was so bad that when I went for a walk I used to wave to anything that moved in the street in case it was a person I knew. Within 2 days postop I could see clearly and colours were brighter. You aren’t just fixed but improved! I’m a complete wuss so if I think it’s ok, it really is, so don’t worry about it, look forward to it instead!
 
Evening all.

Still here and did not explode, sorry @porl69

I sort of stumbled up the garden path and had half a bottle of cider, mind you on the way home in the car it was proper rant.

So got new fresh insulin, and at the moment sat at a steady 5.1 which I'll take for the moment.

According to MySugr the scores on the doors is 194 gram of carb, 44.5 of bolus and the day isn't finished yet.

Tomorrow will be the big test with all the new insulins. :)
 
On the plus side of today - it's payday, the gas/electric bill was lower than I thought it was going to be by quite a bit so I went wild when I went shopping and indulged in some new knickers and bras. As well as a few food treats which i've thoroughly enjoyed.

I've impressed myself by being on a remarkably even keel after the basal mishap of last night, it seems my instinct of small correction doses whenever I woke up during the night and was over 10 worked until the morning basal got going.

We all appear to have run out of energy - I have no intention of being energetic at all this weekend.

Thanks very much, really appreciate your experience.
 
Night chaps, sleep well! Glad to be going to bed as still a citizen of that Europe, I must say. Wishing you all smooth sailing overnight x
 
Night night all. Just back from book group, loud and enjoyable as usual. Down to 2.9 with all that Fiasp and now new Levemir so could be an ‘interesting’ night ahead.
 
Morning everyone, but not a good one, I have been up very early not feeling great..................because BS is extremely high. I feel upset and embarrassed,as it's 22.9 I don't know what is happening, maybe the whole pack of Insulin is ropey or it's me.
 
Morning having not been up long scan down here and your talking peanut butter and marmite o_O:***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***::***:.

Ok new day start on a 4.8 which is the lowest morning I have started this week, so either.

Pushing long acting back up has kicked in.
The change of three day old knickers has helped.
The fresh insulin is beginning to work.
My stupid metabolism has finally finished throwing its toys out the pram and decided to cooperated.
Or it's Saturday and I have beaten Karen for the first Morning.

Robin, with your recent health challenges, have you done the ketones thing? I know you are extremely experienced, but I know if something totally left field happens to me, I can lose my instincts to the the right thing.

Oh wow that's bad, not managed to hit those dizzy heights last week.

Don't feel embarrassed, there is nothing to feel embarrassed about :) look at me over the last week totally lost control and still have no idea why. Seems, fingers crossed, it's back to more normal figures.

So couple of questions.
Did you miss calculate insulin carb ratio?
Did you forget to inject one or other insulin?
Did you go for the Kinikki special cake?
Are you coming down with lurgey?

There is always an up side, to everything, and I'm sure you will get things back to normal :)

PS it happens to us all at one time or another, that's what makes T1 so wonderful, frustrating and a complete PITA plus brings us all together.
