I might whip up crispy tofu in a sweet soy sauce, lots of garlic and ginger with a side of broccoli. Possibly a teaspoon of rice.

Yep - we are all in line for a good day!

DIABETES - are you listening? Did you hear? Behave yourself today for all of us or there will be tears before bedtime for you!

Mine definitely didn't listen :sour:
Did I or did I not forget to bolus? If I knew I didn't I would curse at stupid diabetes and correct with 2, maybe 3 units for the bg I'm seeing now. If I did I missed 11 or 12 needed units and it will keep going up with this correctional dose.
Opted for 6 units, not enough if I forgot but relatively easy to eat for if I start dropping like a stone in the next hour or so. Thank you, Libre, for enabling me to keep a close eye on what's happening!
And that's only the start of my day, hope I get it right again before the whole eating out and long car drive with aunts thing comes... :bag:

People whose attitude says "Me, my opinion, my desire is greater and more important than anyone else"

And to whom the principle of ahimsa is a closed book that they refuse to open because it would make life more difficult for them.
Whack some decent music on and blast it out - in these circs I heartily recommend Alter Bridge or Nightwish until the worst of the gibbering fury is over- and then I gradually bring it down until I can finish off with something classical that will totally chill me out.

Well here is new one for me today still a bit confused as to what is happening

I have a pump and changed set over last night. Bloods this morning on waking were little high, 8.3 and by 9am they had done their usual climb to just over 10.5

I was at work and dropped some papers on the floor. I bent over to pick them up and on way back up I caught the cannula and set on the arm of chair which ripped the cannula from my body, OUCH, with a little blood coming out of my body.

Luckily i have a Libre so decided to check my BG every half hour. I did have some Novorapid at work but did not take any.Had no BASAL with me.

Between 9 am and 12 oclock my BG started to fall from around 10.5 down to 8, then 5 before finally settling at 4.3.

As i had no BASAL I am a little confused as to why this would continue to fall.

Luckily i finish at 2 pm today so will get home and change the set.

Note to self be more careful with sets and cannula

Bigotry, reliance on unsupported 'facts', unkindness, unfairness.

Well, the surgery phoned to say hey - you have an infection! And there's a prescription been sent down to the pharmacy for you. All I could think of to say was "I rather guessed that, since I've had it for the last fortnight". Silence, and an uncomfortable goodbye from her, a cheery one from me.....

Ha! I don't know whether to laugh or cry - I feel a sort of combination of really frustrated, annoyed mixed with a vague hilarity.

You can laugh and cry, then munch on oreos with me. I’m glad it is sorted but I’m angry with them.
