    Instinct Sensor

    Has anyone tried the Instinct sensor? Just heard about it. Made by Abbott, to be used with the Medtronic 780g. I was wondering if anyone knew how accurate and reliable the Instinct sensor is?

    With the world as it is, I’d have thought a few young doctors would be glad to go to the Western Isles

    Your meals sound delicious Annb. Do you use a Greek recipe for moussaka? I used to subject the family to a Greek/our house version that left out the potatoes, used marrow instead of aubergine and included garlic, onion, lots of herbs and a cheese sauce. Not really moussaka but it always got...

    I also have bird feeders that are attached by suction cups to the bedroom window, but it does mean that I often don’t get up til the seed’s all eaten.

    Cold here today, a shock after the lovely warmth. Supper tonight will be a cottage pie, with garden beans. Next week I’ll be trying to ripen any still green sungold in the greenhouse; I’ll bring them indoors and use the paper bag method. I set up two bird feeders that I can watch from an indoor...

    The food store here expanded in the run up to Brexit, was wonderful during the time of Covid, and doesn’t seem to have subsided much since. Every now and again I have a rummage and we add stuff to a slow cook and eat some treats. It’s hard to keep the stores in mind when making a shopping list

    Breakfast was porridge, Lidl’s best. Lunch, a slice of veg flan and a mug of cold veg and chickpea soup. A big pressure-cook of soup lasts us at least [emoji639] days. Cauliflower with cheese fondue sounds good Antje, and cabbage moussaka does too Annb, even though tiger cooking of it was...

    Type 1'stars R Us

    I’m trying to collect stats to feed into a pump - those narrow half unit margins make big differences. I think a day off beckons. Some short bamboo stakes needed so I can make a better protection for young kale plants than the rough low netting perched on prunings from exuberant shrubs. It’s sad...

    Maybe fighting off your wife’s cold Tony? I hate those days when whatever you do diabetes thumbs its nose at you.

    My new challenge ,

    So you’re home again, hooray. Back to a familiar place. That new leg looks very stylish - loving the blue colour. I imagine the new ways of putting both legs within easy reach when you go to bed, making sure they don’t fall over, having ways to get places or think ahead if you’ll be in a hurry...

    High cholesterol

    If your daughter googles (or other net search provider) ‘diet sources cholesterol’ she’ll find lots of information. This source seems clear. https://www.bda.uk.com/resource/cholesterol.html

    Crazy hyperglycaemias

    Yes, we have the Medtronic 780g in the U.K. I hope your team can help, maybe change the settings on the pump so that it all works better for you. Good luck!
