When left to go stale (I know - impossible!) do they go hard or soft? Hard = cake
Soft = biscuits

Can this foodstuff be dunked?
Will the stand up to stress
Are these apocalypse proof
Or will it mess with digestion
sludge up the cup & arrest the beverage
liquid consistency retention

The ultimate question...

Scone rhymes with gone.

Congratulations, @Mel dCP !! Is that provisional on you being able to wear a purple uniform once graduated ??
 
Good morning on Good Friday

I have spotted an Easter Egg lurking in a wardrobe upstairs - I think it might be for me (excited)

What are you all doing today?

It’s a blue sky bright sunny morning

Hope the sun shines bright for everyone
 
@Mel dCP - that's fantastic, and you have my total admiration! Brilliant stuff.

Long weekend - started with a lie-in to dogs let me sleep in until 7.30 a.m. Whoa....

I had some blissful moments with a small bar of very dark, vegan chocolate last night. Comfort food but trust me, I've needed it this week. Still in something of a confused dilemma but trusting that I'll find my way forward somehow.

Blood, however, was at a stunning 5 this morning. Total guesswork with the bolus for the choc but I guess it's a skill born of long practice :rolleyes:

Good luck with the Libre, RRB. I got mine about 10 months ago and my poor fingers are ever so grateful..

Its like anything new it may seem daunting to start with but after a few days you will be fine.

Typically I will scan at least once per hour. The only downside to scanning so much is that you may find you have too much information. When I was finger testing typically I would mainly test at mealtimes. So for brekkie I would be say BG 6.5 come luchtime say BG of 5.5 and dinner BG of 6.0. Going to bed a BG of 6.5. So those figures for me anyway look good.

What I find using Libre is i can see the big spikes in between meals, sometimes going up from BG of 6.5 to BG of 11.5 a few hours after meals. I was tending to get a bit hung up on the big spikes.

Main thing for me is convenience. Stick on the Libre, download a link to your phone and scan results are there in literally seconds. No more having to carry test strips everywhere, although most times I still do as a back up

Hi and good morning, thanks so much for your input. When the DSN put it in my arm, it was so itchy and it felt weird too, but after a little while, no more itching. I used it a lot yesterday, especially as i had a late afternoon 4.4, so had a biscuit, but early evening, until about 9pm, more hypos's. It was because I did over 28, 000 Fitbit steps yesterday, my highest ever, plus when I walked back, and after a cupp,a i decided to make the Blueberry scones, so went shopping on the way home, plus made dinner for someone, so on my feet for most of the day
I slept well with it on ( but awoke on a big high, so corrected and I won't be having any breakfast) I love the simplicity on it giving my fingers a bit of a rest, but still finger pricked as well, to double check.
I will be sad when I have to give it back in two weeks time,I love it, but I know it will be so beneficial to someone else.
Happy Easter @smc4761
