Evening all. Retired from watching all the Star Wars films (husbeast’s birthday, his choice!) to bed. Just want to stretch out on my memory foam mattress with a good book and some quiet. While our surround sound system is truly wondrous, I feel like I’ve been trapped in the back of an ambulance for six hours with the sirens going. Levels remain rollercoasterery, obviously need to adjust my basal override for tomorrow.

Cyborg, quilter, silversmith, cook, paramedic, high ruler of the universe - oh, that one explains it....

Happy birthday to your husband, Star Wars is a good choice :) I'm guessing your ears are ringing from the sirens.

Morning, is it really?
3 o'clock, checked blood and found Alpro Vanilla is a bit of a hotty for me so I'll need to watch that.
Back to try and sleep

@helensaramay I had the same thing happen, I got some vegan protein drinks, 6 carbs and 20 grams of protein each and when I drank the first one I remember wondering why were my sugars going up and just thought it was some kind of fluke. But then when I went to drink the second one, I needed a slight boost before I was going to eat later and I was at a 4.8 and when I hit 7.8 I took some insulin but watched it shoot up to a 9.8 before it started coming down. I remember thinking 6 carbs did this? And then it dawned on me it's got to be the protein, so much for trying to have something that wouldn't impact my sugars much! I guess I am not usually consuming such high protein with so little carbs.

People whose attitude says "Me, my opinion, my desire is greater and more important than anyone else"

And to whom the principle of ahimsa is a closed book that they refuse to open because it would make life more difficult for them.
Morning glories - woke up on 5.4 - all is well in my world.

Been reading along but ran out of words (miracles do happen!)

Today I am making mushroom slices and more dahl. (The last lot disappeared at a very unseemly rate). Aside from that I want to finish my book. I am really enjoying it but have so many more I want to enjoy too - I need to make more time in my day for reading.

Gorgeous but really carby compared to their coconut yoghurt, or even the almond. I do love the vanilla though. Big treat!

Morning all, happy to wake on a 5.4 according to Libre, 5 according to a finger prick. A boring day of house chores and clearing the decks ready for the plumbers coming on Tuesday. Unless I can find something that I can justify doing instead.....

Have a good one whatever you're all doing

Hi hi Hi campers, teabags and pumpers Hope you had a good night

After weeks of running overnight,for the pat week or so my overnights BG have been near perfect mainly a flat line of around 6. Great, but why, nothing has changed, still eating same number of carbs in very similar meals, I am a creature of habit, still taking same amount of insulin, still doing same things, eg nothing but rest. Happy with that but my 7pm-- 10 pm BG have shot up slightly, very confusing

Managed to get out for a few hours early morning for some birdwatching before the forecast rains come down.

Enjoy your weekend people
