Good break from the weird and wonderful here then @slip. Babies yuk, idea of profanity.... dubiousMorning all, been off the forum for a week (no I wasn't banned!) - half term week so off with the daughter, not sure why as she spent most of it in her bed (and she's not quite a teenager yet!). Had flu jab Wednesday and boy did it affect my BGs - consistently in the teens no matter how much insulin I ploughed in - back to 'normal' now.
Had a quick scan through all the posts I missed, loved the picture Sue didn't like - pity Famke's hand is just out of shot as I could well imagine what the hand gesture is - defo a profanity!
Wow, luv to see a photo shoot of you in uniform. Does this mean because you've been given the uniform, you're now official and have passed exams and ready for lift off?Morning all, totally in love with my Dexcom G6. It’s fab. The only slight issue is that the dressing is beginning to peel away with three days to go - but as I applied it in the clinic I didn’t use Skin Tac. I will when I put the next one on. It’s been really accurate, which makes running the Loop so much less “worrying” - that’s not the right word, but I’ve not had enough coffee yet. I’m much more confident to let it just do it’s thing and I’m spending MUCH less time thinking abut T1. Went to bed on a 6.0 and woke up on a 6.1
Got all my paramedic uniform yesterday, shirts, trousers (so many POCKETSES, there’s even three on the left hand shirt sleeve!), boots (horrible and clumpy, will stick to my much higher spec Hazardous Area Reaponse Team ones), fleecy chill jacket, hi-vis anorak, hi viz tabard, white t-shirts to go under the shirt, belt, baseball cap and beanie. Weighed a ton, and as we usually have to walk twenty minutes back to the car, the uni let us bring it onto campus to collect it. Just waiting for my epaulettes with my personal number on, and I’m really pleased that I’ve been able to keep my existing Community First Responder one as I’ve got quite attached to it.
I’d be lying if I denied wearing it all yesterday evening
Gig tonight, flu jab tomorrow.
Fibber @porl69 you did post a number. Bet it's come down by now. HugGood morning all....
Well I am not posting my numbers up today as I am definitely NOT cured
Currently on a 12.9 with a double arrow down....thank you rage blouse!!!!! Currently waiting for the alarm on my watch to start with a LO......pfffft
Hi @Gary61 I have to say when faced with a curry, I can't control myself........... I just dive right in. I don't have a pump... except for my bike and for me, sometimes the bolus and timing work and at others I just think................ Magic curry, could do better.
Sadly not. I have to resit one. Am devastated.
Yeah, I was.You’ll do it second time around. Weren’t you ill when doing them?
A minor blip I'm sure... perhaps they couldn't count all the good things you did correctly?
Goodluck cumbs x
Thanks lovely. Basically I got caught out on a trick question (which they specifically said they wouldn’t do in the run-up to the exams) - at this stage we need to be able to diagnose four specific, clearly different, identifiable rhythms on the heart monitor, and know whether to shock them or not. I got a rhythm that looks like a cross between two, we haven’t been taught it, both shockable, but I used the wrong name. A few of us got caught out by it, and we’re challenging the result. The more I think about it, the angrier I’m getting - we were deliberately tripped up on a test that was just to make sure we were safe using the defibrillator. The most annoying part is that husbeast is off work this week and we wanted to spend some time together (maybe even go away for a few days) before my placement next week. But now I have to be in Swansea every day this week.
