@Marie 2 that would definitely rile me. For some people in the UK actually getting to see someone in person is as rare as hens teeth. I myself had phone calls since pre pandemic and though meant to see my consultant this year, I am still waiting. To have that person referred to as the person who...

An error me thinks.

Personally I would be updating my phone. The most up to date I could buy. My dad of ninety two has just bought himself an I phone sixteen because he doesn’t want to fall behind. The older the items become the less likely they will keep up to date with our very important health tech. That is the...

When at home I am strict and accurate. Weighing food if needs be. Twelve years in I now know most of the food I eat and their values. I use a carbs and Cals book which I bought at the start of this journey if I need it. I Ask Alexa also these days, and refer to a large dog eared chart which is...

Flu vaccination went well. Drank plenty of water throughout the day and would hardly know I’d had it. However, I have spent the night chomping on Jelly Babies and am still low this morning. No three am surge and no foot on the floor rocket. Actually ate breakfast before insulin. Unheard of. So I...

Partha said in one of his Twitter talks to camera that Type Twos on insulin is the next push re CGMs, as the role out to Type One’s is complete. There is now complete access for all Ones.

What a beautiful weekend here in the Uk. Spent three whole days in the garden. All now ready for winter. Just a trip to the tip needed sometime before Friday as we get our new car then and will not be loading it up with rubbish anytime soon. Busy week incoming, starting with flu jabs in an hour...

From what I have been reading the private vaccine is the one targeting the current wave whilst the NHS one is more general. I’m not eligible this year so will have to wait and see how things pan out. Am yet to have covid so perhaps this will be my year.

@Tony[emoji639][emoji639][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji639]] this is what I like about this thread. The idiosyncrasies of managing Type one that are mentioned here and you suddenly remember, it’s not just me, I am not alone in this daily battle.

Also pre bolus Fiasp In the morning and at lunchtime. If I eat later than three which I rarely do, I bolus after, as it works like it is meant to at that time-speedily!

My jury service predates diabetes. Was called up at eighteen when I still lived in Grimsby. A sexual assault. A rude awakening for a youngster. I enjoyed it though there was a lot of sitting around waiting. A book is a must. Was called up many years later in Leeds, still pre diabetes, but I...

@jaywak so sorry to hear this, a huge loss for you. Sending best wishes

I agree. Every few weeks in my case. My Libre results show the struggles of adjusting.

It’s a good idea. All these tests are helpful for compiling pictures about a terrible disease.

Flexitol get it on my prescription now.
