Type 1'stars R Us

Sending warmest wishes to all of the A-level students receiving their results today, especially to my girls. I've seen the results already and there were no surprises.
 
Good morning Thursday diabuddies, awoke on 5.6 this morning, so it matches the lovely sunshine outside.
Gas engineer came at 3.35pm yesterday, a nice, friendly guy and everything is safe and working properly, so all is good.
Some food shopping today, which I will do this morning, I cooked chilli and rice last night, which I haven't made for ages and daughter and myself really enjoyed it and I have enough left for another meal, probably on Friday or Saturday night
 
I have noticed on my Libre graph a couple of breaks in the continuous line, any idea;s what this could be, has this happened to anyone else ? I'm not overly concerned, just wondered why.
Thanks guys

Is this on the Abbott scanner or the Librelink app on a device? Do these breaks happen happen about 8 hours prior to the recent scan?
 

 
aw, c'mon @helensaramay, you can't just drop in the phrase "some interesting news" then not say what it is!?

I woke up at 3 on a 10.4, corrected, couldn't get back to sleep for two hours, woken by the alarm clock, Libre said 2.8, meter said 3.4, either way too low. Now at 8.1 after breakfast, I'm so not correcting this one, I have to go out this morning and not sure how far I'll be walking so I'll let it run for now. Grrrrr!
 
@Robinredbreast Was it while you were sleeping? Because sometimes if you sleep on it the pressure of it against you will interfere with proper readings, it can cause a break in the readings or a false low reading.

I only ever lost a signal on the Libra at night a few times, if my Dexcom does it, it signals the sensor is nearing it's end.
 
It's on the scanner.

Do you have a picture to clarify the breaks..? Do they seem to correspond with a specific time or circumstance on the graph timeline? (Like maybe asleep, bathing or certain activity.)
 
Morning chaps. Foot on the floor beat me to it today, and kicked in before I even woke up at 0800 It didn’t even happen at all yesterday, and I didn’t wake up until lunchtime... ah well. Can only react to that one. Up to 8.4, now back in the fives. Can’t win ‘em all, eh?

Sewing with the old ladies this morning, on call this evening. Wishing anyone who needs it good luck with their A level results today, I don’t actually have good enough grades to start my own course, but all the stuff I’ve done since apparently trumps that
 
Morning friends,

I am slightly better but I'm worried about my mummy. It's bad enough my mum couldn't see her best friend, I sent her a text to say I'll be home at some point. Diabetes was hypo city yesterday and I woke up in it as well - 3.5.
On a brighter note, my bf has lost 2inchs around his muffin top I'm very proud of him and this is all through diet. Because of his clubbed feet, I can't ask him to jump into exercise and his weight has an impact on his princess feet. He has an interview today, so I gave him a kiss and said "you gonna smash it, bbyg!"
 
Baby girl,
We can't live in society with double standards,
 
My other halves birthday also x
 
 
My bf bought me Alpro vanilla yogurt and I thought does it taste good as vanilla ice cream? I decided to try it today, one spoon into my mouth and I said "ooo this is good, no wonder @WuTwo said this is a treat. Well this isn't going to be a treat for me *sends a text to my bf - need more vanilla yogurt asap*"
 

I haven't done that yet, so I will try and upload it on to my computer.
