It’s all about watching the way the virus is behaving locally Nicole. I’ve not been confined by fear. I’ve been to stay with daughter and family in the Midlands, I’ve been on holiday here in the U.K., I’ve frequently visited daughter and friends closer to home, all while keeping an eye on the...

The isolation period is 10 days after the symptoms appear. The person who had Covid says they now feel fine, but I know too little about the length of time that someone remains infective apart from the ‘most infective for the first five asymptomatic days’. I also deduce that an individual’s...

Yes, you’re right, I do feel uncomfortable. I went to a very small birthday meeting, just 3 of us to celebrate a friend’s longevity, yesterday. It was at a cafe and I was assured it would be outdoors, but it was on a pavement by a busy pedestrian area. Not nice for me. As for the DKA, yes, as...

I sympathise @Japes. Both with the change in the lunch slot and the feeling you need recognition for diabetes support. Go for it. Lunch changes can be rotten to adjust for, and so seldom do those with functioning beta cells appreciate why.

Mornin’ all. It’s still a bit grey here @hh1 and cat’s in autumn winter mode of closeness for warmth but we expect it to be warmer once the sun gets higher. I agree, these temperature swings aren’t good for insulin juggling. Much swearing occurs. I’m never sure what kind of layers to put on...

Hi everyone, I’m asking for your thoughts. I’ve been asked to a friend’s tomorrow. One of the people who’ll be there has caught Covid and their isolation will end tomorrow. As far as I know, a PCR is no longer provided to ensure that a person is negative at the end of the isolation period. I’m...

I use flextol when extra power’s required, and zerobase which is now prescribed. Dry skin that cracks isn’t good! I also ensure that socks are bamboo, viscose or cotton.

I feel angry too. There’s been so much unnecessary suffering, so much unnecessary pain. And corruption. It’s compounded by the way that current inactions seem to me to be prolonging it. Add to that the way that Climate Warming isn’t being addressed and I find myself in danger of creating a...

Good morning all, and hugs from me to the sorely-poorly ones too. So frustratingly painful not to get the right antibiotics and prolong cystitis agonies. Hope the phlebitis clears up swiftly, not good!.

Good afternoon all. How’s the weather with you? Our neighbours got back yesterday after 2 weeks in Scotland. They had wonderful, unscottish, weather the whole time they were there. It’s mizzeling here today as if Scotland’s just realised its omission. Yes, plenty of ‘breakthrough’ cases here...

That’s rough, poor you. Why do these things always arrive to spoil the weekend, and this one’s hit the jackpot with the bank holiday weekend. Granny voice now (I’m old enough, and I am one). Have you done a keto test and a LFT? Just a precaution. Hope you feel better soon, and get through...

Good morning everyone, having another catch up day. Lots of plums here too, and I’ve already filled the freezer ready to hole up again when schools go back so I hope all our friends are ready to OD on them. A couple of friends are coming here for lunch in the garden next week so there’re will...

Oh, and younger daughter took me to the Van Gogh experience yesterday. First time using a virtual reality headset too: I loved it. I wish I’d had one with lots of programmes to take me on virtual foreign travels from the start of the pandemic. The Van Gogh experience was both sad, poor man, I...

Good morning all. So much to catch up with, please don’t feel unnoticed if this daft old biddy doesn’t comment on what you’ve posted in the last week. Oh my, Urbs, your thumb looks beautifully healed but ready to be an extra in a Hammer Horror. Hope the full function gradually grows back. I’m...

Just another thought, are you sure it was your blood? How would your neighbours, dogs, guinea pigs, cats, react to being told they were 6.9? So many missed opportunities.

Good afternoon all from a damp but not a dismal SE. Older daughter and son-outlaw came to lunch. He’d cycled from theirs to ours and needed a shower when he came in. The sun shone on us in the garden too, so all’s well. Raining now and more to come but it’s not all bad as to compensate for...

Talking of stormy weather, hope all of you in the SW and Wales aren’t too badly affected by Storm Evert.

Hi @Chris85, nice to see you again. Hope life’s been ok for you since you were last here. Mornin’ all, in this climate crisis Frio using corner of the online T1 world. Even the met office is telling us we need to get ready for higher temperatures and more extreme weather. We went down to the...

I use KT tape. It’s not a particularly fashionable look but it comes in lots of colours and you know what, I don’t care. What you do before attaching the sensor matters too. I always wash my arm with soap, rinse and dry we’ll just before attaching. The sensor stickers seem to work well for me...

Good morning all. Not much happening here, next door neighbours’ daughter is now home, videos sent to us of older daughter’s chunky puppy (she’s off to see it for the first time today and if all goes well she’ll collect it next month), stayed mostly in range yesterday, a sparrow hawk has just...
