well late lunch bg down to 4.4 36g of carbs 13 units of novosluggish thanks for that new name @LooperCat

quick update after food which was more like 75g of carbs and 13 units of bolus by 16:10 i was down to 3.9mmo/ls looks like i could maybe cut down my bolus dose if i take two basal doses 12 hours apart.
think im going to bring it back an hour a day from 22:00 to 20:00 to make it easier to remember

I ate 3 biscuits today. The first in 3 years. (This may give you some sad insight into how strict my regime tends to be.) No fruit or dexter tablets nearby at work and I didn't feel like legging it back to the office. The biscuits appear to have done the trick and were super.

Evening all!

Reporting in before vanishing to have a Big Think. Yeah, work was that good today, I'm seriously considering a change beyond the world of education.

Still, I may feel better after food, another walk, a hot bath and more sleep... a rare night-time hypo didn't help last night's slumbers.

It summed me up this past few days!

Trapped in a bathtub?!

Welcome @Marieba @Hopeful34

@Hopeful34 I get pain sometimes now from insertion of my Omnipod, and I never did before. I'm going to try to remember to start using a oil blend on my stomach in case it's a scar tissue issue. But years ago I also had some fat inflammation issues in a couple of spots so hopefully it's not that.

But what I do because it's a little unpleasant is I scratch my skin fairly hard with my little finger as I'm inserting and it's distracting you aren't focused on it and then you don't really feel it as much.

 

[Hopeful34]

Thanks @Marie 2. Some of them are ok, just seem to be having a run of painful ones from certain lot numbers. Roche replaced one lot number for me, and the new ones seemed better, but new box and same issue. Will try your suggestion thanks. Also have fibromyalgia though, so my body remembers pain for longer than it did when I was young.

stopped smoking sorry

From your previous posts I kinda guessed that - good on ya!

My mummy has overfed me and I’m actually happy about it Mum: would you like ramen? My tummy: no more please. Me: YASSSSSSSSSS PLS

Perfect not a drop left

@Hopeful34 They actually have done research on fybromyalgia and pain. A year later with a pin test and people with fibromyalgia actually were still sore at the same test spots versus others who weren't.

Good morning everyone here is another update that i want to say THANK YOU ALL for.
My BG was at 6.5mmo/l before i went to bed then during the night 5.1mmo/l and when i got up 7.7mmo/l that's the best night i have had in a long long time think i actually got some good sleep

Re the Libre sensor shortage. Partha Kar put a twitter post up to say it should be sorted in the next fortnight I believe.

That’s awesome mate! Sleep makes such a difference to your insulin sensitivity - if I have a rubbish night’s sleep I need to up my insulin by 10-20% the next day. Are you trying the split Levemir today?

 

[chris85 type 1]

@LooperCat I am indeed it seemed to help yesterday

 

[slip]

Morning all, I've been steadily in range since about mid morning yesterday - no post lunch 'hump', tea/dinner/supper the same, and no evening dog walk crash either (although I did have to 'work' at that )

Just need to get my breakfast pre-bolus timing sorted - have a feeling 15-20mins is too early and 5-10mins is too late! Timing is critical........who'd have thought that

 

[Fairygodmother]

@Chris85 type1, so so happy you’re back on track - those bloods last night were superb.

Mornin’ all, nearly topped up the caffeine tank enough to get my brain up and running. Who else is a shameless addict? I’d find life without coffee, and tea, a tad difficult.
