If there is one thing on this earth I truly can not abide it is gardening. I abhor it with every fibre of my being !

I mean I would rather inject my glargine beneath my toenails !

Handyman is actually coming to do mine on Monday :)

I've been using the Accuchek Aviva Expert BG meter for a while and I've set it to reduce my insulin by 50% when I know I'm going to spend the afternoon gardening. If it's unplanned gardening I guess it's an excuse for a snack or three ......
