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.
? Pistols or insulin pens at dawn ??
Like two hoses, one running constantly, the other set off in explosive bursts.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.
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.
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 !!
Some hose have a trigger spray fitting. You pull the trigger and out spurts spray under built-up pressure.I've never had an "explosive burst" before can you buy one?
?
Thank @Fairygodmother, That is like telling soAnd for blokes who sew?
Basal is the chain stitch, bolus an occasional flowery satinstitch with a few French knots for good measure.
Thank you @Fairygodmother, for educating us near-neanderthal males !!And for blokes who sew?

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 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!
I hate soup.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?
Might that be the reason you turned the primordial soup into this multiversum, O Lord High Ruler?I hate soup.
I hate soup.
Isn't that (low carb) nectar?I thought soup was the food of the gods?
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.I hate soup.
