Good morning to you Karen

@Robinredbreast . Sounds like a great planned already.
If and when you see Santa could you ask him if he could pop around my house and re point the damp course for me?
Not big on brickwork myself to be honest. BS could go either way.
Have an almost “ festive time “ Sunday everyone.
I ask every year and always end up with some “ pancetta”. I wouldn’t mind but I don’t even like salami.
I’ll get your coat for you.But the pork has been cured... Boom crash, drum roll...
I know where you are coming from at with regards to how difficult shift work, carbs and insulin can be. I tend to try to stick to pretty much carb free nibbles on my desk unless I’m on night shift when I’m more likely to fit in a ‘break’. Oh I’m a ‘magnet’ too!Morning chaps. Rest day. So I’m resting. Actually that’s ballcocks, I’m going shopping and cooking/baking for my next three shifts. A day, then a late, then a night. Then out with an A&E consultant in the rapid response car on the weekend. Bring it on! Been 100% in range for the last 24 hours, which covers over fourteen hours doing paramedic stuff and driving back and forth from my base station. It was almost eight hours into our shift before we could get a break for food, was quite hungry by that point, I must confess. I had quite a big “lunch” at 3pm of roasted vegetables, vegan kebab “meat”, konjac rice, hot smoked salmon and hard boiled duck eggs. Was only 11g carbs, so had a 1.05u dose to wash it down, and stayed steady. Without sounding like an intolerable low carb evangelical, I’m not sure I’d be able to do this job with a load of carbs and insulin in my system - I was never able to match the timings, as you know. And with the sheer unpredictability of a shift, regular mealtimes are a rare, almost mythical occurrence! I set my watch to buzz me at 4.5mmol when I’m on duty, so I can pop a dextrose tablet to keep things on an even keel. All good so far, I’ve already got a reputation as a “sh.. magnet”, as we’re getting a cardiac arrest every shift
