Basal Bolus

[kitedoc]

And the event horizon takes me into the past where grass fed low carb joint oil is more prevalent. I might set up a trade post !
At least I should not encounter the Peaky Blinders and should escape the frowning looks of Poldark.
I am on guard against past Edwardian 'morality' also.
I know i will not be able to escape your scrying, but I could hand out pamphlets advertising your omnipotence!?

May all multiuniverses remain peaceable and flourish !

And may energies shine on you from a million suns...........

Such is the worthlessness of my existence due to being surrounded by towering intellects this thread has turned into something I couldn't possibly have foreseen.......

To talk of basal/bolus now would be elevating futility to a fine art......so I shan't

But why, oh why, oh why, did whoever invented the names have them both start with a b? It really doesn't help. Long acting and short acting is much easier...

Nice.

Yep, that's the long and the short of it all

? Pistols or insulin pens at dawn ??

Insulin pens - fire away..............but make sure you use the quick acting basal, I mean bolus, basal, ohhhhhh, BOLUS!!

Like two hoses, one running constantly, the other set off in explosive bursts.

I've never had an "explosive burst" before can you buy one?

But in the interests of world peace I offer an explanation for the ladies in our midst:
The basal is like a slightly wobbly straight stitch from a sewing machine, relatively flat. _ _ _ _
The bolus is like one up and down zigzag periodically _ _ _^_ _ _ _ _ ^_ etc.

And for blokes who sew?
Basal is the chain stitch, bolus an occasional flowery satinstitch with a few French knots for good measure.

Fighter kites are the means but their main weapon, manja (the cutting line), has been banned. But please see the post about the ladies first !!

I met a lovely group of Afghan flying kites down by a local beach (don’t worry, they sent them out over a very rocky breakwater) and they proudly showed the cut glass on the string. And yes, they said, they did cut themselves on it.

I’ve had to train myself to think of basal and bolus, much prefer long-acting and short-acting!

Some hose have a trigger spray fitting. You pull the trigger and out spurts spray under built-up pressure.

Thank @Fairygodmother, That is like telling so

Thank you @Fairygodmother, for educating us near-neanderthal males !!

Sadly there have been injuries and fatalities from the cutting line being caught up in revolving tyres etc. So with short and long-acting insulin does that mean that you can only eat short soup with shorting acting insulin and long soup with long-acting?

I hate soup.

I hate soup.

Might that be the reason you turned the primordial soup into this multiversum, O Lord High Ruler?

 

[Tony337]

I hate soup.

I thought soup was the food of the gods?

Isn't that (low carb) nectar?

 

[kitedoc]

Well, O Ru

I hate soup.

Well, O Ruler, that defrayed that comparison. Perhaps long is for ponderous, slow and lateral as it horizontal, and short is so because it caught the after meal blood sugar that tries to get away.
