Well done on your curry "win"
I too am on a Medtronic pump the 640G and my control is now VERY good 90% of the time. I eat high carb meals most of the time. As long as you can accurately count the carbs and know how to release the insulin into you from the pump correctly then you will be fine

Good break from the weird and wonderful here then @slip. Babies yuk, idea of profanity.... dubious
 
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?

Fibber @porl69 you did post a number. Bet it's come down by now. Hug
 
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.
Usually more fresh coriander and chilli

Sadly not. I have to resit one. Am devastated.
 
Wow,

Not a great night weather wise.

But, Bonfire night seems to have started early..

I'm fortunate that my dog is unfazed by the noise.

If you happen to have an infant? Be thankful it's wearing a nappy..
 
Having cataract removed at hospital 8am tomorrow morning (Saturday surgery)
Hopefully I will be seeing things in a different light

Had my other eye done last November so although a little nervous I kinda know what to expect
 
Think I've caught up after 5 days without internet access! Last load of washing just gone through then, bed.

Feeling much refreshed after a complete break away from my usual routines, just taking the car back tomorrow and will pootle about before launching myself back into the usual routines from Sunday onwards.

Blood sugars amazingly well behaved apart from my complete miscalculation for beans on toast last night. Not something I ever choose to eat, as a general rule, but I didn't have my book handy to check, and was running a bit on the high side after a very splendid cream tea earlier in the afternoon. (Well, the scone, butter, jam and cream was accompanied by coffee in my case as I don't do tea.) so it was more of an inject and wait... then when I did finish waiting, it was a case of eat about 50g of carbs before bed to be safe to sleep! Oops.... I like the 4.7 I woke on, but it wasn't a relaxing sleep as there was a 4.0 glaring at me from the meter when I woke around 3.00 a.m. and another few more carbs went in!

Hi,

Then you know the score..
My mum had this done on both eyes a number of years ago. (One at a time from memory.)

Best of luck & wishes.. Yeah, I know "fiddling with the eyes." You'll come good..

A minor blip I'm sure... perhaps they couldn't count all the good things you did correctly?
A bit like when I took my driving test, did the hill start... no prob, 3 point turn... no prob, emergency stop..ditto and then was told to turn left and I, like the total plonker, turned right, swore massively, executed another faultless 3 point turn which was not asked for, and back to the test centre. Man said, "you can smile now Mrs DJ, you've passed"
You will too, it was just a little slip
 
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.
