Type 1'stars R Us

Why would you expect a difference? They're fine for at least another 2 months.
 
Good morning all.......

AAAARGH Vietnam flashback @Knikki fond memories (NOT). I compare them with darning needles.....BUT darning needles were sharper! At least the testing was easier and less painful.....but not as accurate

My Fiasp’s never been a vile bile green @MeiChanski! Wonder where yours came from?
Just been to see older daughter and the new fox/wolf dog. It’s adorable! It thought my legs good to lick and spent ages making them clean enough to be dog.
 
Oh such a cute doggie, is it a Shiba inu kind of dog? I do wonder the same thing about older packaging on items.
 
I hope everyone's diabetes isn't acting up today, it is indeed very warm. I went outside to pick up the recycling container and bags and I felt my skin burn. Tbh I feel like I am a vampire in the sun at the moment.
However if you've had a hypo you can come join me and we'll have a good old munch. *Clinks glass of coke*
 
My last batch was within date but 2 cartridges in, I've noticed the potency or the effectiveness isn't quite there. I did need a tad more units towards the end. I used it up and now I got fiasp in old packaging. Meanwhile it's cousin novorapid is lasting quite well in the fridge and out of the fridge.
 

I was on 8mm for a long time, when it dawned on DSN that for my size, they were a little too long...............
 

Crack on
 
@helensaramay I agree potency goes down towards the two week mark and Toujeo seems to have a 3 week, at a push 4 optimum. As I never inject more than 10 a day of that I try to keep it going as it seems such a waste. But no point if not effective
 
Oh such a cute doggie, is it a Shiba inu kind of dog? I do wonder the same thing about older packaging on items.
Yes, it is. Older daughter and Son-Outlaw don’t have, or want, children so this little creature’s their baby. It’s tiny but with proportionally long legs; I can imagine it emerging from the wolf den and running with the pack already. Shibas have the highest proportion of shared wolf DNA in the dog world.
We’ve all fallen in love with this little creature.
 
Oh gosh, I just died. We need more pictures of the shiba asap.
 
My bf and I talked about getting a dog yesterday and he said he wants a small dog and yes, I did give him that judgey eye look. I said I hope not a chihuahua and he said no, possibly a Yorkshire terrier. I laughed so hard, so I said we can get your little Yorkshire terrier if I can get a big dogo like a golden retriever and another small dogo like a welsh corgi and name it Cheddar like Brooklyn 99. But my brother loves the shiba inu and he wants one of those.
 
Survived DAFNE hooray. They were a really lovely group of people. I've actually met other type 1's in person. It was odd to sit in a restaurant where everyone injected themselves. And wow. I've read a lot about type 1 physiology but this was the bee's knees of management strategy.
For me, supposedly I'm injecting way too much FA insulin. I thought since I wasn't hypoing, that I needed more insulin. But it appears as I still have a glucagon response due to the dear old honeymoon, while my c-peptide is above 0.08 nmol/L at 0.126.
