Definitely something odd going round! A little better here today and bloods so far back to their old selves. Really hope the phase of nighttime corrections has passed! One more night to see what’s happening before upping the basal - really don’t like nighttime hypos.
If it’s landed on your shoulder too @Robinredbreast I hope you can shrug it off asap.

Cheers FG

Hi Knikki, I’m posting. And trying not to imagine the effect of 30 viagra tabs . Used to know someone who worked at Pfizer when they first went into production: it broke the record for drugs knicked from the conveyer belt.

 

[Fairygodmother]

It just seems it’d be painful, for the viagra taker, like a bad case of elephantiasis

 

[Fairygodmother]

Off to bed now, cocoa in the Taormina mug, the one with a picture of etna erupting.

I was doing my PhD in plant biochemistry at the time they invented viagra, and every week the department held a lunchtime journal club where a current paper would be presented and discussed. You can just guess which one my lab partner and I chose to do... Suffice to say we had loads of stuffy academics spluttering into their sandwiches at the mentions of such key words as erection and clitoris...

 

[Fairygodmother]

There was a precursor back when I was a young’un of about 21, a spray on thing called Stud. Once again, I knew someone who worked for the company, and yes, it disappeared from the conveyor belt in large quantities into pockets and handbags.

at the mentions of such key words as erection and clitoris...

Well I’ve looked in the dictionary and I’ve found erection but I’m ******** if I can find clitoris. Must be a bloke thing.

 

[therower]

Thanks for the mod edit. Looks far more interesting now.

 

[Antje77]

I think all my dictionaries have those words, happy to check tomorrow. I'm afraid it is a British thing to leave such vital words out.
And thanks for reminding me of the fun we had looking up 'dirty' words in the dictionary in a very distant past!

Don’t forget the new ones the mods have taught you @Antje77

I would've mentioned them to thank you, but they all turn into little stars...

What on earth is chlodnik? Sounds fascinating

@WuTwo It's the summer equivalent of barscz. Cold beetroot soup with sour cream and hard boiled egg

Just catching up on yesterday’s thread!

It got very interesting! I read the last bit last night - laughing and trying not to wake him up beside me in the bed

Morning all! Not much to report, Loop still Looping, have had to set an a increased temporary override for those few days. Didn’t want to launch straight into a 200% or anything so have been gradually increasing it over the last 24 hours. Currently at 150% (basal, corrections and bolus) and seem to be ticking along nicely this morning. Just awaiting a work phone call, or not, as the case may be.

Have a good one, friends. How’s your cat, @slip ?

 

[WuTwo]

I have booked a day off today and tomorrow is my normal day off. I'm hugely glad of both!

I am on the next round of antibiotics for the never-ending uti, and this lot - oh joy - make me feel sick. Their saving grace is the fact I can actually take them! Hopefully my usually cast-iron innards will be accustomed to them by the time I need to get back to the office!

Back to the cranberry juice and flat leaf parsley tea. This time I'll add in echinacea tea too - very good for infections.

Say thank you to your spleens guys - they do a terrific job and you don't find out until you haven't got one!

Oh, that sounds utterly miserable, @WuTwo Have a cwtch from Wales (like a hug only MORE SO)

No work call yet, but then I got a shout at half eight yesterday, so I’m not getting changed back into civvies just yet. It’s a funny time of year in schools, there’s a lot of teachers off with stress, stressed teachers dragging themselves in because they want to be there for the end of term and because the year elevens have finished their GCSEs and aren’t in school, they can make up the gaps with the teachers who have more free lessons. So very hit and miss for we poor supply teachers!

I feel so sorry for teachers. It's a hell of a job and no-one ever thanks you for it! Yet without teachers when we were youngsters, where would we be as adults?
