Coup-day rules

[RuthW]

Stress increases insulin resistance so increase your basal rate by 10%. That's what I learned this week. That and find a corner you can sit in which is out of the line of fire when the crowd is running around outside 'reclaiming the country' and there are gunshots in the garden.

And ear-plugs because you have to go to work in the morning and lack of sleep also causes IR.

Going for a walk in the daytime helps.

Gosh @RuthW - hope you're okay. Must all be really scary and unsettling. x

Worrying times @RuthW , do take care.

Blimey Ruth. Take care.
My blood glucose levels would be the last thing on my mind in that situation.

I'm OK. More p***ed off than anything. The 'people' have been instructed to 'fill the squares' every night in a show of 'people power' so every night sounds like a bunch of footie fans celebrating winning the World Cup right through till 5am.

I'm thinking, 'Some of us go to work. What about the economy?'

Normally Turkey is really law-abiding and safe. The police would arrest this lot in an instant for this type of behavior normally. But there's no clue as to when we will be told 'it's all over, go home now.'
I need some

(But I'm serious about what l learned about stress, insulin and dosing! )
