Anyone tempted to try the ancient Egyptian ale and beer that’s been recreated from yeasts found in ancient Egyptian pots?
 
@SueJB . Glad to hear that you’re pain free.
A good physio will have no problem with you being pain free and should offer advice and tips on how to stay pain free.
Make sure to ask for this advice.

Yes, me too. And when my sister and I were born my mother stayed in the maternity ward for three weeks each time. I did ask the young mother at the libre training if she’d only been given three days but she said they’d wanted to keep her in for a week. She was supporting the Caesar place and there weren’t any really comfy chairs for her

Husband just pulled at the shoulder of my jumper and suggested that I might like to go clothes shopping. Not sure how to take that- is he concerned at my lack of blouse options? Outraged at my fashion sense? Or offering me clog hard cash for a shopping spree? I hate clothes shopping so am viewing the comment as offensive and refusing to take action.
 
Ignored the morning rise earlier and wanting breakfast. So much for libre training! Foucault!!! Up to a not too bad 8.8 and now 7, maybe Fiasp’s been exposed to too much fresh air fun and sun during happy treks, even the frio felt more like a comfort cushion. Sad as it’s a recently new cartridge so it feels wrong to waste it. Maybe it’s just the wrong baseball.
 

Best for the planet that you don’t shop and there’s nothing better than a familiar comfy jumper. Unless it’s a sunny day and you can wear a familiar comfy blouse instead.
 
4.9 this morning. Overdid the long-acting last night. I forgot to cut it back by a unit after two long-running sessions. Woke up at 2 am after setting an alarm and was 3.9. I'm watching my weight so was reluctant to eat sweets so drank coffee but ended up wide awake, full of (coffee) beans. Dogs were over the moon. Hope they're not expecting this every night. I'm tired now.
 
I wish I hated clothes shopping. I hate taking the things I don't wear to a charity shop. I'm forcing myself to do this today.

You know you’ll feel virtuous afterwards.
 
Rage blouses all round, @Knikki - I feel your frustration today. My own Libre ran out without my noticing, or failed, or something. So slapped a new one on, feeling grateful that the MiaoMiao seemed to still be reading the old one ok (verified with bloods). Got woken up with a “fast rise alarm” at 5am, like from 4.2 to 7.6 in the space of ten minutes. RB’d that, then got woken up 90 minutes later with an “urgent low glucose” alarm at 2.8 s so rage-dextrosed that. Then up to 7.something with more alarms going off Was tempted to rip it all off my body and throw it out the window tbh. Dosed my FOTF instead and I’m in the sixes. Sometimes I think ignorance is bliss.

@MeiChanski - sending you good and happy braining vibes, you got this

Not been around much this week, it’s been both mine and the husbeast’s birthdays, so haven’t been online a whole lot. Went to the Penderyn Distillery on mine, which was fun, and then out for a curry with friends. Got the carbs guess about right too, with just a brief spike to 7.3 - handily MySugr has a feature where you can search by location, so,I always log that. Handy for repeat visits to the same place. I saw how my levels reacted to the same meal last time, and adjusted it for this visit

Wishing you all the smoothest of sailings x
 
belated birthday wishes mel for you and the husbeast
 
just back from my appointment with dietician had to go through carb counting with her to tick a box so im 1 step closer to getting my pump,got consultant to see on the 20th of this month so hopefully not to long to wait , i have decided on the ypso pump due to its size medtronic looks a bit bulky to me and as long as it does its job im happy. sun is cracking the flags here at the moment with clear blue skies although it is forecast heavy rain later but not going anywhere so im not bothered anyway enjoy the rest of the day everyone and hugs to anyone poorly

Lol, to be fair. The decibels pushed out at the average concert will not do one's hearing any good over a pronged period.
Once the wax has shifted, use a good quality ear defender like Progaurd which cuts the db level without muffling the sound like most of the issued cheaper foam plugs.

Health & safety!
 
Happy Birthday Mel and Husbeast

Happy belated birthday @Mel dCP did you two put the Distillery out of business by drinking all the samples?

Nah. He was driving and I’m a lightweight these days! I did buy a bottle of their Celt whisky - finished in old Laphroaig barrels for a spot of peatiness.

Greetings my fellow teabags and pumpers, looks like a few are having highs and lows. So I am also joining the cub

Had a 9.4 before bed last night but decided to leave as I know i can drop during the night at times. Woke to to a nice 4.2 this morning, so decided to have brekkie and bolus after that. had brekkie of 40g and 15 minutes later BG had dropped to 3.8. left it for another 10 mins and it had now dropped to 3.2. panic now setting in so cup of coffee with lots of sugar and disconnect of the pump.

About 20 minutes later back up to 6.1, so took bolus and decided i could drive. Hour later ooooops, BG of 15.4. Now chasing my tail trying to get BG back to normal., with some rage bolusing Sitting at BG of 6.3 so getting there
