Your memories of hypos are similar to mine @Grant_Vicat. One time I gave my poor husband an upper right cut to the jaw, and another time I bit him as he tried to administer glucagon. I also said some nasty things. Like the OP, he worried that I meant them, that in hypo veritas was a thing. Of...

Hypoglycaemia leads to the body releasing adrenaline, the fight or flight hormone that also stimulates the liver to release glucose. It’s an essential survival response. Unfortunately sometimes the ‘fight’ is more in evidence than the fight. Don’t take it personally...

Lyumjev has been approved for use with the tandem t-slim x[emoji638] in the EU; it’s very frustrating if it’s not yet approved in the U.K.

Good morning. Breakfast today a very restrained thirty g of Wheat Shreds and forty-four g of banana: [emoji639] units of Fiasp. Packing later, and going to the station to get a ticket as I’m off to see younger daughter and family tomorrow. Excited.

The source has it though. Grrrrr!

Could you use Carelink to connect with a Garmin?

Your veg sound magnificent! I’m full of admiration. No, I didn’t grow the cavalo Nero, I bought it. I planted some at the beginning of the season but some little unmentionables ate it. Our next door neighbour grew the marrow. I took down our runner beans at the beginning of the week, I miss...

Cooking ahead of time today for tomorrow’s lunch that I’m hosting. It’ll be chicken and mushroom dauphinois with steamed marrow and cavalo Nero followed by apples from our tree topped with cinnamon sponge. I’ve been staring at food since two-o’clock and don’t feel hungry now, but supper’s...

Ninety pounds sterling for a covid vaccine! Which one? The NHS is using Pfizer, I think. I wonder if a limited NHS target means there are spare doses to be sold.

Breakfast, back when the day was getting light, was an indulgent blueberry muffin and an armful of insulin. Spent the rest of the day cleaning the house as I’m hosting the book group here on Friday. Lots of low alarms which I interpret as meaning Imm allergic to housework. I’d rather weed, dig...
