Hello friends, your girl is extremely tired and thirsty. My pump decided to kick me out of auto mode at 5am this morning because I’ve exceeded the max basal delivery. I went from a nice 5.5 at bed time to 9.9 by 3am and 14.5 by 5am. Tresiba seemed to have handled a dawn problem that I thought I didn’t have. Lately I’ve been creeping up at 3am. My first review of auto mode is not a positive one.
 
Apologies if anyone fears Italian sports cars, concrete steps, tacky alloy wheels or black and white photos.
 
Back on track (but thanks for the laugh @therower!) - I've been 'senseless' a little over 12hrs now and Aaarrrgggghhh! god it's so annoying being diabetic! and having to finger prick! The good news I was 7.something this morning, sneaked a 'few' matchmakers for elevenses 11.something before lunch and now at 6.9......heading somewhere......?
 
No, it's fine.
I do wish people would leave the subject alone, though, it would improve the atmosphere here. But wishing something and moderating are two different things.
I don't think there's much wrong with the atmosphere when we can have a laugh and be T1 supportive
 
Managed to order some sensors from the F&F line! Hopefully I'll be back with some sense thursday......no one say anything!
 
My usual pharmacy said there was a delay of 2-3 weeks on sensors. I ended up getting my husband to collect 2 from London.
 
On a positive note woke up to a 5.9 this morning and apart from a spike around 2 hours later its been fairly steady all. Now at a lovely 5.2

Call me weird ( I get called worse ) but as much as I love being hooked up to my Dexcom I really enjoy time away from it.
Just spent 7 days “ senseless “. I find it keeps me more in touch with what my body is actually telling me.
Glad I’ve managed to raise a smile.
 

Hi there

Good luck with the physio hope it’s a success
 
Happy afternoon to you all,
BG climbed high during the night and double figures this morning, as I was worried about someone, but afternoon has been much better and number's pretty good.
 
Struggled yesterday with double figures each prick

Today has been better
7.2, 7.7, 6.4 and 6.8 thus far
 


Here is little Wispa having a lie in

Hope this photo is ok I don’t want to offend anyone

I have a pet Tarantula called Tara she’s cute I don’t want to pose her with Wispa because I think Wispa might eat her
