Anyone watched Prison Break (currently watching it on amazon) - the main character is supposedly T1 (except he's not) but he has to go to the medical bay everyday for his 'shot' - now I guess the series was made a good few years ago but the doc injects him like she's doing a vaccination, using...

Well daughter came home last night, she's had a fab long weekend and wouldn't stop talking all about it :joyful:, not great at 11 o'clock last night when she has to go to school today - I think one of the last schools to break up in our area. 4.4 before bed, 4.4 this morning :p (although I did...

@ert I feed 'marrow' courgettes to the chickens, can't face eating marrows brings back memories of how my mum use to cook it - boiling until it becomes a tasteless watery light green blob! the hens have already had 2 or 3 that I somehow missed!

morning all. So I must have been flat lined all night, only 0.6 difference between last nights 'score' and this mornings.........sadly both were in the 10's - but at least the wife and I survived the weekend, we didn't kill each other....yet! the daughter returns about 10pm tonight :D

He had or is recovering from Triaditis (inflammation of three internal organs usually liver, pancreas and small intestine - fortunately he didn't show signs of intestinal inflammation which could be 'messy'!) as I say he's recovering well now and the Vets booked an All-inclusive Bahamas trip on...

Missed that nugget. Makes a call to their 'hotline' even more so needed then.

just thinking we haven't heard from @SueJB for a while actually, was she going on holiday?

can you confirm you are using the Libre 2 - and how you managed to get hold of one! (Ah just checked and you're in Germany - explains it!) the 'screen shot' to me suggests the bluetooth is switched off - the red line through the communications symbol not the actual sensor itself. I'd be...

@ert if you're in Oxfordshire you're probably on route and if you're hoping to make the meet up if we ever pull it off I'm happy to pick you up.

Morning all, damp here, well more wet than damp really! Was up early to take daughter to school early as she's off on a residential long weekend - teachers are amazing, I couldn't face a long weekend away with ~200 12 yr old girls, but at least they're in France and the french are good at...

Think you might be thinking of DNR - Do Not Resuscitate

Did a quick google and from a NHS document from Southhampton (http://www.uhs.nhs.uk/Media/SUHTExtranet-Not-Restricted/Path-Handbook/Specimen-Rejection.pdf) found this: "For glucose requests where no sample received, in result entry type NFR, which will expand to “no fluoride oxalate tube...

Blood is not one consistent number through out your body, it ebbs and flows. Each test strip will have some degree of variance too and also has some percentage of leeway on accuracy (older machine could be +/- 20% out, new ones are 15% or could even be 10% now) so although those numbers appear...

I'll selfishly say the cotswolds would be good, and I'm sure Sue would agree as we're both not far from there! (Sue if you want I'm happy to drive and give you a lift) Mel couldn't you borrow(nick) an ambulance and just neee-nah blue light it and pick everyone up?!?!? Hope your knee heels...

I think if stress is involved (dentist!) then most peoples do go up - but theres always someone that does the opposite, just to prove the fact although we all have the same condition we all do not suffer the same. Welcome!

Had a Chinese last night - bit of a family gathering. Can I use that excuse to get a pump 'cos I needed one!??? needed the extended bolus - 6.7 before eating + a good load of insulin after the first course, 11.2 before bed + correction, 17.4 at around 5am +a larger correction, 8.7 at 7am. I love...

Cheers Helen, we are all different (thank god!) but I suspect you're right that it was too much, I do generally drop slightly during the night but it does depend on what was for supper/tea/dinner, if at the time I had remembered I had POB (pasta on board!) I probably would have just had the one...

Morning all, @ert sort of welcome officially to the club! :rolleyes: I was 3.9 before bed (so had 2 oreos and a small packet of yogurt covered raisins) too much or the spaghetti took longer to 'come in' - 10.8 this morning :( Can't remember who above said about putting nurses off by watching...

@Jaylee two great posts, and there was me trying to hit the play button! (it is still early.......isn't it?) - bless your mum. Bloods have been behaving - well they've gone down when I've had to correct :rolleyes: So the cat, he's still doing great. He will be having his tube taken out on...

I don't want to scare you but I can think of much worse complications than loosing your feet! But having said that you would be seriously seriously unlucky to have done any permanent damage to your feet (or anything else :eek:) in the short time you've been diabetic and there are people who...
