I'm rather hoping you weren't one of @LooperCat 's customers?
 
@Robinredbreast . How was Santa? Hope you’ve put your order in for a new and fully functioning pancreas.
I ask every year and always end up with some “ pancetta”. I wouldn’t mind but I don’t even like salami.[/QUOTE]

I did ask @therower , but Santa said ( quietly underneath his breath) that the elves are no elf at all, because every time the elves in the workshop hear the words 'make a new pancreas' they are in fits of hysterics and can't do an elfing thing, so Santa has had to admit defeat but said watch this space.................
The reindeer where cute, especially the babies, who were born in May.
 
Hello friends,

A bit high today 13.8 but I’m on my way down in time for lunch. I am a bit annoyed because my nose is blocked and I’m struggling to breathe. Hayfever season was over a long time ago and I regularly clean the house etc. So it’s winter hayfever? Or dry air? Antihistamines doesn’t seem to help but my mornings are afternoons are grotty. It’s horrible with a throat infection.
 
Well done @LooperCat that's *********, self moderation. Brilliant

Morning all,
The water's gone down a little but BG has gone up.

That's great news @SueJB .

I would imagine your lower level neighbours must be equally relieved, as the water receded..
 
So high most of the day, around 10-12, went out running this evening after tea at 6.7, thinking I'd got some leverage, 20 mins later I'm at 3.1 with a downward arrow, I've run in the cold before but slightly thrown by the fact I'd dropped so quickly with no insulin on board as had turned my pump down 30 minutes before, running club were fab and took me back to the start, then ransacked the supermarket, never had a hypo in a Winter run before, type 1 playing mysterious tricks.

Now at 10.2 and going straight up..
 

Spooky.. I had a 7.2 & dropped whilst out, coming home to a 3.1 earlier on this evening.. All I did was walk the dog.
 
I’m very excited about the black friday sales. Ya girl is ready for next week and this week for the early sales
BG not too shabby today apart from the one single dangerous hypo I had tonight.
 
So have yall tried marmite peanut butter? I can’t quite make up my mind yet. On the other hand, my manager has boosted my hours from 20 to 28 to 36. I cri internally. But she is purging again this week (she planned on who to purge 2-3 weeks ago and another 3 have to go) so some of us might get even more hours than what we asked for. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. I’m confused because at the start we all stated our availability and since she’s kicked three people that automatically gives everyone else more hours than what we (part timers) asked for. Even more confusing when she said she’ll give the extra hours to the person who deserves it but I’m like even if I deserved it, it doesn’t mean I can do the extra hours because I was happy with what I was assigned to. I’d love to accept more hours if I wasn’t studying or finished studying.

Hope you detected & recovered from the low OK?
It can take time to work out what's going on when waking from them. I usually get the feeling we've been burgled ot I'm late for work..

The sales.. Never seems to be anything I want in them? My reasoning is if they can slash the prices at certain times of the year, why not retail with that price tag initially...?

My advice to you would be, spend wisely... You may find you might need that cash in the new year!

Having said that. I have been perusing some lighter "bang for buck" PA equipment.. My amp & speakers these days are a bit of a lug about. The kit was used when I got it nearly 30 years ago. Still a great sound. But try hawking it out the venue at the end of the night. The diary seems to be filling for next year too!

For some of the smaller gigs it looks a bit intimidating.. Lol.
 
@LooperCat It was a lot harder when I worked as I could never count on taking a lunch or if I had a lunch break when that would end up being. I used to take a morning dose to cover breakfast that I ate right before work and a snack, which was usually a 8 oz soymilk because I could drink it on the go. Then I would have something sitting on the counter to snack on like edamame or fruit that I could grab a couple of pieces as I wanted to. Looking back on it now I wonder how I managed an A1C of 50-53 back then. I was on MDI and used to use double the insulin than I do now. I was really busy so I'm sure that helped keep my Bg levels from being bad.
 
Good morning all, my phone won't connect to my sensor, maybe because it's cold here, as Jack Frost has been about. So used my Accu-Chek and it's 3.4.
Happy Tuesday
 
Morning all, sorry haven't been posting much recently - just been busy being me. BGs have been just about ok. @LooperCat have you been parking the Ambo fun bus in awkward places......seem to remember seeing a BBC article the other day about a 'unhappy' note left on an ambulance parked across someones drive whilst they attended an emergency - some people!

@SueJB hows the garden and more importantly the neighbours? think the river has dropped a little, didn't have to drive through it this morning - yesterday it was just lapping on to the side of a road I commute on, this morning it had receded (the road is usually about 2m above normal river level - the fields the other side are well and truly flood plain.)
 
Morning all, BG still playing silly. High again and I'm off to see the consultant for my 6 monthly review. I'm sure I'm going to get tutted at and possibly a finger wagging. Hate people who point literally. As a teacher trainer, an open hand was always the best gesture.
@slip the water has gone down again. I reckon the stream at the bottom of the garden if down by 1ft. Fingers crossed for no rain coming down from further north
 
Off to my first date with a DN ever. They've planned in a whole hour for it, so a bit nervous what it will be all about. She can't be wanting to tickle my feet for 45 minutes I expect.
Appointment with the DN will be directly followed by the one with the internist (we don't really do endo's around here). Internist was very nice when I saw her 6 months ago so that should be ok.

Nerves are annoying but I can soothe them a bit by telling them that in 3 hours it will will be over and I won't have to deal with diabetes reviews or blood draws again until the winter of 2020
 
I think I may have an UTI, I phoned my surgery and no GP's are available, so I am waiting for a consultation phone call from the duty GP, god it is uncomfortable and I think this is the first time I have had a UTI, I remember getting thrush when I was first diagnosed, but that was a long time ago, off to the loo again
