Leftover birthday food, very nice! Fresh cockles (cooked yesterday, fried in garlic butter today) with wakame mixed in on my plate and some extra garlic butter added on top, and onion soup with lots of cheese. :hungry:

Sounds sensible to me, and if it works, it works. Alternatively, you can ask fo a reusable Novopen Echo, which can be used with Tresiba penfills. It can do half units.

Thanks all for the lovely birthday wishes! They seem to have worked, I had an amazing birthday with wonderful friends and neighbours. :joyful: I don't think I remember exactly what I've eaten, but there were olives, lots of meat from the barbecue, and the friend who baked a cake came in just...

Thank you @Annb ! I'm an hour ahead of you so It has been my birthday for an hour already! I think I'll stick to your time at the end of the day, giving me an extra hour of birthday. :hilarious: I'll send a picture of the party!

I'm so sorry to hear @becca59 , and I can only echo @Marie 2 's thoughts. I hope the funeral will be one that honours him and gives you and other loved ones room to enjoy good memories. Well done on keeping all the balls in the air, you're rightfully proud! And enjoy that very well deserved...

Thank you @shelley262 that's such a kind offer! Those puffets look very good. :hungry: Tomorrow (well, almost today) will be my birthday, so today I spent a ridiculous amount of money on food and booze. It was a lovely spring day so I started with a short swim, first time this year without my...

Hi @Quinapril , while a Lantus Low is possible with any of the insulin glargines, you seem to have used your basaglar without issue for years. There is no reason to suddenly expect trouble if it never happened before. However, if the fear affects your mental health this much, it's as good a...

@DJC3 and @shelley262 , taking it here as to not take the main thread off topic. You both use Panda flour, and the things (bread!) you make with it look amazing. Can it only be bought online or is it sold in stores? A friend will be visiting the UK after the summer so I could ask her to bring me...

Love your replies @yellowm !

I read the question as being about bitter melon, not a supplement made from a vegetable you can buy and use for cooking!

It's just another vegetable, what vegetable would cost £200?

When eating out, my choice of dessert is always a selection of cheeses, and I wouldn't mind doing the same at home, except I'm not used to eating dessert. I bulk out my main courses by substituting the carby component of the meal for extra veggies - onion, cabbage, cauliflower, and adding some...

You'd still take 45 units with a different insulin. IU, insulin units, measure the amount of insulin. So you can have 100 units of insulin in 1 ml of the solution that we call insulin, or 300 units per ml. The pens for U200 and U300 are designed to administer half/a third of the amount of the...

No problem at all, family comes first, always! Your recipe looks very tasty! I'd use butter, not margarine. Once I switched to LCHF, including butter and fatty cuts of meats, my lipids went all back into the green zone, so not worried about cholesterol. I'd only have a small piece of the cake...

In the 9 years I've been playing this stupid game, the most important thing I've learnt is that trial and error is my most important guide!
