Pack what you need, bring back up and then double everything lol. Then make sure it all is on your carry on and if ever going to be separated from it have some on your person and in your luggage.

A syringe will do in a pinch as a lancet.

 

Morning all, great to hear some of you had a meet up - there was talk of one towards the south west, have we given up on that? @Jaylee, you could come to another one!

 

Good morning everyone
Have a good day

 

Hello friends,

Now I want to chuck my pump in the bin, I corrected and I had a low carb meal yesterday, Viola 14.9. I’m not having breakfast today because I feel poopie. But auto mode today, yay! and I’m going to work

 

Good morning everyone hope you all enjoy your day.
Checked my BG this morning 16.7 time to get back on track i was a glutenous pig last night

 

Good morning all! GOOD morning! Bloods have been in range for 36 hours bar a couple of very mini highs, no more than 8.2. If I knew why then maybe it’d happen more often, but the great, and sometimes unfathomable machinations of T1 are no doubt planning more mayhem for the future. In the meantime, I’m feeling neon green with envy for all those pancreas-normal people who live like this all the time.
Hope all those highs, lows, confusions hopping about get sorted today for everyone.

 

Morning all! BGs all good, just about - especially if I squint whist turning my meter on it's side

@chris85 type 1 did you bolus for the chocolate 'treat' last night?

Sounds like the meeting of the great T1s was.............interesting?!?!?

 

It was a fab meet up, I don’t have anything else to compare it to. I got an epic arm squish from @Juicyj (we were talking about placing Dexcom on our arms and I said I was advised not too because my arms are a bit lean for it) so it was like an inner fan girl moment for me.

 

Good moaning all
Bloods doing good today......shhhh dont spoil it!

@urbanracer no lancets....use one of your pen needles maybe?

Ah forgot about the meet up last night. Not tooo far away from me really!

@MeiChanski good luck with automode.......don't expect miracles with it mind!!!

 

oh dear now my BG is at 18.8 after a bowl of porridge and 20 units of novoslow i'm trying to get it down i'm at the doctor's today having my bloods done no lunch it is then

 

Snakes are good for that to used to have a jungle carpet python well she bit me i had 42 little hypodermic like teeth stuck in my hand across the back of it where all the veins are i bled all over i'll try to find the pic but it doesn't do it justice as it was after i stopped the bleeding

 

yep i gave myself a grand total of 20 units 16 before hand and another 4 later on

 

I have the same problem with porridge. I know it is supposed to be slow release etc but it also sends my glucose sky high. When I go high or low it takes ages for me to recover.

 

For me it was kind of a test run, iv'e been T1D for 16 years but a very very stupid one one now i'm getting back on track checking my BG levels it's like been newly diagnosed because my body's insulin sensitivity ratio has changed i'm still figuring it all out (and i was already high when i ate the porridge)

 

If you work out the best time and split for dosing your insulin, it’s manageable. I never bothered because the texture makes me retch
