Mel you’ve certainly had an interesting weekend! Hope the head isn’t too badly damaged!

I’ve got to say my weekend has been fairly calm, daughters first league football match, and it was just glorious - the weather that is! It was the best I’ve seen her team play but they still lost 4-0, they just need to get in gear before half way through the first half

Also had to sort the second chicken run for a trio of new birds, they now have full use of the run now they’re out of quarantine. Clearing and Moving lots of wood chip, thought working quite hard in this heat I’d knock back the insulin - perhaps it wasn’t as physical as I thought (as if) so BGs have been at the high but reasonable range, no hypos I guess us good

Just had X-ray, just waiting for the results.

Bored and I need a wee now.

You got it. Well done

Careful mate. Look at the trouble the spiders caused. We only need a dyslexic kamelaphobic and it could all kick off again

If it was earlier than 22:45, I might have googled "kamelaphobic", but it's now 22:47, so I can't be bovered..will do tomorrow, maybe

Home now, no major damage. Just a purple face. Night x

Good morning everyone have a good day

I'm stockpiling Tunnocks Caramel Wafers, 15g a pop.

If society breaks down, there's no reason why we shouldn't still be sophisticated about hypo treatments...

Am going to have to find some room in the bunker for some Marzipan Ritter Sport too.

Used to love these and had them quite often - my boss sometimes brings them in and I have been known to indulge but very rarely. Not sure why though because I now find them too sweet and it takes me a couple of hours to eat - must be an impulse thing!

Glad no damage mel but hugs all the same

Morning all, bg good, puppy alarm went off at 6 this morning as she does every morning - how do you change the time on a puppy alarm?

@Mel dCP hope any after effects don't get in the way of your training today. Wanted to refer to your 'fall' but wasn't sure the humour would translate in writing

How fitting!

BGs have behaved since last night, 7.6 before bed, 5.9 this morning.

Woke on 9.7 so I’m grumpy.

 

[porl69]

i can’t remember how that bit of banter started.

SHRUGS SHOULDERS - HOW did that start???

@MeiChanski Lipo-wotsit)

Love that word

Good morning all. Wow that was some weekend foe everyone.....some good some not so good!
@Mel dCP you had to go get a purple bruise......hope it fades pretty quickly
@MeiChanski do you think you will be getting the CGM to go with whatever pump you are having? Have you been told so?

I think so because DSN said I’m not too far from death’s doorstep because of over night hypos. (I told her about the previous severe hypos) But at the same time, I’m not too sure. It’s like playing a guessing game.

Afternoon friends, 6.2 but the weird feeling type of 6.2. I don’t feel okay but I’ll have a small meal before heading out for another job interview, thai food anyone?

Good luck on that Mei. I am trying to persuade my DSN/consultant that I would benefit from a CGM because I am totally hypo unaware. I made the mistake of telling them about the MM and alarms that you can set!!!!!!

Thank you, Just thinking about your situation, did they not prescribe you one along with the pump? Or did they chuck a pump at you and not take your hypo unwareness into consideration? Or did they want you to manually suspend your pump when you have a hypo?

The main reason for me getting a pump was my hypo unawareness. I have now been told to run my bloods between 8 and 8.5 for a while to try and "reset" my hypo awareness BUt it isn't working at the me

I'm sorry to hear has the pump helped in any way? I know you have a MM and libre, would you have preferred a CGM?

CGM to go with my 640G yeah would have liked that. Would enable the pump to suspend basal delivery when starting to go Lo. Libre is cheaper for the NHS so am pretty happy with the Libre/MM combo
