Good morning, just over double figures on waking and it was a steady line during the night.
Granddaughter will be round at 10.30 and then we are getting a bus to the farm, I hope it's a double decker because the views from the top are lovely.
I am hoping to have a little chat with my granddaughter regarding her diabetes, as she still wont inject in public, she's 10 now and insists on injecting by hiding away, especially in a toilet which I don't want her to do, so I'm hoping we can test and inject together, but I wont push it.
Can't wait to see all the cute animals, big and small
 

Good luck for your teenager today and have a fab time in Liverpool, I have never been to Liverpool, but was born nearby

Thank you, he’s very nervous, bless him. I’m actually going to the Wirral, but will at some point cross the Mersey into Liverpool!

One of my granddaughters in starting University in September and her dad, my son, is so proud and over the moon, but is going to miss her.
 
Good morning. I love it when bloods are decently in the blue all night and sleep’s good. Such a treat - non T1s just wouldn’t understand how great it is! Woke at 6.1 so happy with that, but the early cuppa would be flowing over if foot on the floor would just fix on one size fits all.
Himindoors is making the first visit to older daughter today as her nasty, probably campylobacter (sp?) symptoms are retreating. Does anyone else feel torn between parent-impulse and the knowledge that a bad bug would turn them into another burden for the rest of the family? I feel really horrible staying away till she’s no longer infectious?
 
Have a lovely day and good luck helping your granddaughter lose her injecting inhibitions!
 
Morning all, woke on a 5.1, still gttin up v early because of Mattie who's adorable and a complete time-waster when she's awake. Her redeeming feature is that, as such a young puppy, she sleeps a lot. When she's awake - non-stop.

Have a good day everyone, some interesting things happening, let us know how you get on with your granddaughter @Robinredbreast and your son's results @Mel dCP.

Sorry about the tech troubles @Knikki; I avoid all that by having nothing more than Libre To be fair, I'm luckier than many as the sensors seem to work pretty well for me so far, touch wood and all that, and as long as I can keep them stuck to me. I had one of the new ones in the flashy box and that did seem harder to prise off, but no issues with it otherwise.
 
Woke up at 2am on a 13.8, corrected. Grrr.
 
Good morning all.
Eldest son is ok, few bumps and gravel rash is all he has to show for his cartwheeling along the bypass. Very lucky lad.
Bloods were better overnight and this morning woke to a 7

Have you given Abbotts a call..... 2 days is 2 days, you will get another sensor out of them. Mine is slightly out of synch at the mo, mine is due on saturday
 
Well done mini Mel’s son! Fantastic!
Next door neighbours’ eldest gets results today too, but no sounds yet from the house or garden. Hope they’re ok, she’s lovely and it’d be great to grin with them.
On the family front it seems a dark cloud’s hanging over the group who want to leave the country for a while. They’re waiting for visas and in the meantime all applications for jobs are meeting with silence or being rejected, so they’re very downhearted. It seemed that son-in-law was seen as a shoe-in after one interview, all the talk was conducted with the interviewer linguistically confirming that he’d be doing the job but at the last minute there was a kerfuffle and it all fell apart. They’re enormously lucky compared to refugees: they have a roof over their heads, money coming in, friends, family, food on the table, they’re in a familiar place, but they still feel very down.
 
What country were they thinking of?
 
I know many of us use Glimp to be able to calibrate our libre readings. Is there an app that can do that with i-phone? (not asking for myself, I don't do way to expensive phones )
 
I believe the Tomato app connects with iPhone Antje. I don’t use one myself but Mel has the tech and the knowhow.
 
I’m literally on a wide goose chase to get my hands on fiasp. So far my pharmacy near my house and tesco don’t have it.
 

The pharmacy near my house were able to get it previously but this time around they said they couldn’t. I have novorapid in the mean time but my management is a tad erratic. I have more than enough to get me through 2 months. But is it really worth waiting 45 mins for a high blood sugar to come down or to eat something carby? It takes a while even on low carb tbh.
Hahaha, that is one indeed a prized fat goose. Wild or wide goose fits the sentence right?
