    @LooperCat I know what you mean regarding not knowing what day of the week it is! Shift work does that to you. Been running a bit higher recently too but resisting the temptation to up my basal. Think it’s actually stress that’s doing it, need work to calm down but can’t see that happening...

    When I do my last night shift I limit how long I sleep to 4-5 hours in an attempt to get a normal sleep pattern as quickly pattern as possible.

    I know where you are coming from at with regards to how difficult shift work, carbs and insulin can be. I tend to try to stick to pretty much carb free nibbles on my desk unless I’m on night shift when I’m more likely to fit in a ‘break’. Oh I’m a ‘magnet’ too! Had my flu jab on Sat morning and...

    Morning all, been AWOL for a week or so. Had a few days away then got caught up in work. Had an interesting first aid call the other day...a lady having a hypo! What was interesting for me was seeing how differently people can react when low. The ambulance had to be called as the lady got quite...

    Afternoon everyone! Coffee shop for a peaceful hour before my night shift tonight. Been fighting off the lurgy for a couple of days so gave flu clinic a miss this morning. Pity as all the other walk in sessions this past week were while I was at work. Bloods have been a bit suspect due to...

    I know exactly how you feel, I had to go out and buy new work trousers yesterday due to putting on so much weight since diagnosis. I’m considering running away to Las Vegas in just over a week for a few days...bit of R&R!

    Grotty day isn’t it?! Good couple of days bloods wise, not so good at work. Glad to have a weekend off but start my nights next weekend...but that is followed by a week off. I’m thinking about a quick getaway to Las Vegas...it’ll help beat the holiday blues!

    Morning all, early start today as had to go to the surgery to pick up a script for cartridges for my meter...somewhere along the line my repeat order got changed. The tech wizards changed the description so the computer now ‘understands’ one cartridge with 50 tests as 50 devices. My original...

    Morning all, woke up a bit late today on an 8.7, less than an hour later up to 12.4....that’s some liver dump. Have hit it hard and now slowly sipping my coffee waiting for it to come down a bit so I can have some breakfast. Late shift today so probably on a rollercoaster.

    Lol, I did highland dancing as a kid but after accidentally getting locked into the toilets in the building after class I refused to go any more. My mum still lives on the shores of the firth and I bought a cottage up there about 18 months ago....we are half way through renovating it but that’s...
