Finally managed to get an email off to my GP before they closed to new queries for the day. I know they’re going to want to run all sorts of blood tests to “rule things out” and that’s “not possible at this time” etc etc. - I don’t need the secrets of the universe, I just need the pain cut down...

To be fair, sometimes it’s bits of pasty.

This’ll be the first year in a long time that I won’t be playing the Last Post. I have crystal clear memories of my first year teaching at a really rough local secondary school. Over a thousand children in the school sports hall. The local branch of the British Legion, local Air and Sea Cadet...

It’s really important that you take your heart pills, and not taking your antidepressant will just make everything feel worse. Please consider talking to someone at your practice about this?? A friendly nurse?

Don’t completely know which type I am. I think type 2 but no one has actually confirmed that. - I think they were more concerned with keeping the engine running so they just plugged me in. Insulin in one arm and glucose in the other - when I went walk about I looked like an extremely high tech...

Question. There are lots of people on the forum who fast or only eat one or two meals a day and have good BG readings. How do they manage that? I get the whole fasting thing. Before lockdown I didn’t eat during the day (no time) and I felt fine. I obviously wasn’t fine. When I had my heart...

Morning all. Today is a better day. At least I hope it is. I’m a bit stiff but I can move and I don’t hurt all over. That’s an improvement! Trouble is, on days like today, I convince myself that everything is fine. There’s nothing wrong that a bit more activity won’t fix and I feel stupid for...

That’s a blood test. You’d need to book it through your GP. [emoji4]

iPhone 7. Not a new phone but it works just fine. [emoji4]

I’m really lucky to live in an area which has quite a proactive approach to control. Even luckier that the next village has an excellent independent pharmacy. Funding, so far, doesn’t seem to be a problem. I wish you luck with that!

Yes, you’re probably right about the basal. It’s already higher than my morning dose. I s’pose that’s the point of having a Libre. My DN is due to call on Friday when she’s had a few days data to look at. Thank you for the reply. [emoji259]

Wow! That goes straight up!! I’m assuming you didn’t sleep walk yourself into a bag of Haribo. That’s insane. I s’pose everyone’s pictures are going to be completely different. How do you fix something in your sleep??

Hi, so, I have the readings from my first night using a Libre and they’re interesting. Well, I think so anyway. I always assumed that dawn phenomena was when your sugars stayed pretty stable at night then moved up quite sharply pre Dawn?? Is that right? Does anyone have a Libre graph that shows...

[emoji23] I’ll try the patches, thanks guys!

Breakfast: coffee with milk and s/f caramel syrup, low carb/high protein yogurt, almonds. Lunch: Lizza toasties with cheese, coffee with milk and s/f syrup. Snack: (BG too low to drive but not quite a hypo) snack pack of chocolate covered rice cakes (15g carbs). Dinner: roast beef, greens and...

Will do! I keep thinking it’s going to fall off!

Got my Libre this afternoon. I am now officially plugged in to my local hospital! [emoji15]

I love them both!!

I love that. [emoji4] Off to find more!

If you put Icelandic Hymn in a train station into YouTube you’ll find it. [emoji4]
