On the other hand, this is my bed tonight, and the hypo will pass, so life is not that bad after all
(Ah, can't upload the picture of my bed in the garden with dogs and cats, but it looks as good as you can imagine
There you go! The fifth dog is under the blanket and the other cat wasn't there but 5 out of 7 ain't bad, I thinkOoh I wish I could see the dogs and cats!!
I'm an idiot. Same food, same beer, same insulin, same exercize, same hypo of course. Should have expected it after yesterday. At least I caught it in time today, 4,1 on my meter, 3,7 with a downward arrow on my libre

It's her favorite spot when driving. She sleeps there during longer trips and she loves to stick her head out the window to enjoy the windAlso, I've only just realised, on close inspection, that that isn't a neck pillow in your avatar

My mum's dog is almost blind and a little bit brain damaged (we think - she's a rescue dog so we never knew her full history). But full of love and very happy. Her favourite position in the world when I visit is to be squashed between my back and the couch - she uses me to make a little dog-cave for her. It makes an uncomfortable sitting position for me but I don't mind because she loves it so much and makes happy snorting sounds 
Pets have the most amazing capacity for lifting away stress and giving unconditional love. I hope you feel better and that you also managed to get some sleep as my one cat -The World's Most Self-Entitled Cat - takes over 2/3 of the bed (kingsize), never mind five dogs and two cats!

The problem is that my mind never left my school days.
That's not a problem, it's a way to get more laughs out of life. I'm still wondering about your sister though...
Nope, usually only dogs in the car. I did try with the cats, but they really don't like coming along in the car. The dogs will kill the rabbits when I would take them along for a ride, so they get to stay at home and the guinea-pigs dont like to be lifted and their legs are to short to hop in. I could take the chickens of course, but the thought of chicken **** chickens me out a bit.
I love sleeping in my garden, but up to last week it really was too muddy and in the summer there are too many mosquito's. I tried a mosquito net once but that didn't work as I was freeing tangled pets all night.How have the recent nights under the stars been? Clear enough for stars but not too cold I hope. Not that there's any danger of getting cold when you have a living bed
Is this something you do often?
And yes, lots of stars and the light from a nearby lightouse
That's lovely
Ah, that's what pets do. They make us feel needed and useful and give us the feeling we can make a difference to someones' life
That's why we love them so much!
What did you treat your hypos with? Carbs come back and bite me. You?Diabetes thinks it's funny I think. Same food (exactly the same as yesterday ) , same beer, same exercize, same insulin, stubborn high for a change. Have taken a correction twice but still going up, so I put my fast acting pen out of reach to prevent myself from over-bolusing. Probably it's because it cooled off tonight , or my period works differently on day 3, or maybe something to do with the moon, or what my neighbor had for dinner or the fact that I wore a red shirt today instead of blue.
It's a wonder I usually get it kind of right with my bg .

Thanks, Ichihun. I used small sweet and half a slice of bread. And that was a day earlier, so I don't think it can be that. I'm very happy I found out early on that I need far less than the recommended amount of carbs to get me out of a hypo. I don't like eating when hypo so it's easy not to overdo it and start a roller-coaster. I usually end up in the 5's after treating a hypo.
Haha, you already know I don't really consider myself much of a woman, so no need to feel uncomfortable
. And I think yes, it's easier the rest of the month. I'm not completely sure about that though, as I've only started to notice this pattern of needing less insulin just before my period in the last 3 months, hadn't thought of looking for a pattern before. So it could easily be coincidence, as diabetes pulls nasty tricks on me sometimes at all times of the month.
