@MeiChanski - I'm so glad your dsn was helpful! It matters so much to feel that there are people on your side :)

And to the frozen ones who have a snuggly fire - sent some heat my way? Our heating broke ages ago and the horrible landlord won't fix it. (I say horrible, but she's probably perfectly nice). We are all frozzed to our marrows.

Off to boil the kettle for a round of hot drinks!

Good morning fellow T1s

Awoke to a 7.0 and I’m delighted with that as of late I have had poor figures.

Dull here but the rain has stopped for now allowing me to get bedding plants placed in the teeny weeny garden, so I’m feeling a bit done in with my labours but I’m pleased that the task has been completed


Anyone else got their bedding plants in?

Should we post pics to look at?

Have a good day friends I wish you all well

I've love pics - most especially of Wispa playing in the garden!

Yes, it's very relieving. I felt more positive leaving :)

Could anyone confirm if your GP takes a while to update your repeat prescriptions? like your consultant approves of your new medication and writes to your GP to prescribe it

Yep - depends on the speed of the consultant and then of his secretary ....

Great idea, though I don't think I can find anything I listen to that qualifies as 'happy sunshine songs'. :headphone::hilarious:

Well the sun has been beaming down here, :happy: Katrina and the waves Walking on Sunshine :)

Afternoon guys, late on parade - had to go to the Uni's book storage facility - 186 miles of shelving, over 10 million books - didn't read a single one! :cyclops:

BGs have been on best behaviour, since I was driving and I usually go a bit low mid mornings I knocked the insulin back abit and been on steady 8.something all morning which is fine by me.

Edited to add: Nice cottage Mel, zippedidy doo dah zippedidy day!

@Jaylee can you tell me where and when my quote came from, is it part of a post, or a reply to another member's post ??

It's part of my sig. I wasn't thinking of old companion animals; I was thinking of the totally worn out cattle (aged around 6 out of a natural lifespan of 20 yrs), pigs and other animals classified as food. They could all live happily for years but they wouldn't be "productive units". (Makes them sound like machine parts but they're not products - they're living beings who feel pain, fear, excitement and happiness). And they definitely don't want to take a stroll into the slaughterhouse.... Hence, my sig,,,,

Thanks @WuTwo for your explanation, @Jaylee quoted me, so I was rather :confused:

Glad we cleared that one up then @Robinredbreast .
Back tracking though all the text to the other day where my mistake came into play
Regarding a status update conversation with Antje.?
So, you were quoting @WuTwo 's sig & I thought I was quoting you..
Regardless of the source of course
The comment got me thinking regarding an animal's right to choose.
occasionally, that's what they do when sick with no more avenues..

@MeiChanski I see others have responded about Fiasp.
I prefer pictures so I will just add this to the discussion ...
View attachment 33570
The solid line is the strength of Fiasp over time and the dashed line is NovoRapid.
You can see they run out at the same time but Fiaps peaks much earlier.
The graph is from the drug company i presume and will likely be an average, and they have not been bothered enough to indicate what the actual range of action - onset, peak and duration is or how it varies with dosage etc.
As is the graph is good for illustrative purposes but of course will vary between individual users.

Fiasp is indeed not too bad. I was 5.4 at lunch, we had a cheeky mcdonalds session, I spiked to 9.8. Then I stayed at 6.3. BG has been good today but unfortunately I was too exhausted to do anything else. We'll see what tomorrow brings. :)
Are spikes not really best avoided if possible?

Parents and violence on Tv as two underlying causes. Maybe some expulsions of pupils are in order. Serve the parents right .
