I have a cupboard and the "butter" shelf in the fridge. We needed a new fridge a few years ago and I was looking inside them with a box on Novosluggish pens to measure up the butter holding bits OR as it is known now the Vial storage
 
why oh why did i have toast for breakfast never normally do as the rise of a morning is ridiculous regardless of amounts of insulin i give went from a 5.4 to 16.2 although coming down now at 10 ate at 7.30am so will add a couple of units any other time of day i can eat toast no problem . i use salad draw in the fridge for insulin nestled between my bottles of corona and i have a drawer for everything else
 
Well I thought it might not last, and it didn’t. Got up to a miserable 14.3 at bedtime and the huge bolus, MM off as constant alerts and the high-headache were too much. Down to 6.7 when I woke at 2am so fingers crossed for today. There’s a seriously tempting brownie from the best cafe in this East Midlands place waiting to tempt me away from the straight and narrow.
Yesterday wasn’t too bad though, all jobs arranged here completed and a new sensor soaking.
I keep my meds in an empty baked bean tin, it’s amazing how much the diagenie can fit in it.

Utterly Repentant Young Vampire. Japes' Well-honed and Polished Riot Act reading skills for the win!! Mind you, parents and carers evening is soon and I will be meeting the YV's parents. I may have gently mentioned this..... several times.

I am about to finish off the last two cup cakes from the gluten free and the lactose free experiments. I need cake. I am also contemplating tomorrow's long walk route.

Who would have thought a well ordered medical drawer would lead to caskets for burial

Who would of thought a small islet ( langerhans ) would have led me to finding so many type 1 friends.
 
Just in case any of our younger forumers are wondering what we are talking about medical drawers, cupboards, you were lucky etc, all inspired by Monty Python and the great Terry Jones who died earlier this week

 
Due to a shocking lack of drawers and an excess of cupboard space in the kitchen, in the Japes' abode, it's a medical cupboard + part of the top shelf of the fridge. All out of reach of any small people who may wander this way!

I was never entirely sure why the contents of my cupboards were so fascinating to two children who regularly visited when they were small but they were. The younger one continues to takes a keen interest in all matters of food and my diet is very different from their family's way of eating. We're probably due another baking session!

A little younger than yourself @smc4761 , (51.) caught a fair few late night re-runs on TV whilst fixing hypos in my youth..
Timeless. Lol, a couple of years back. I was in the basement of HMV & actually heard a 12 year old beg his mum to buy "life of Brian" on DVD.
Lol, I think I managed to see film this when I was about the same age..

Python inspired the next generation of greats too.

Just to prove my point about 'tidy' - insulin on top shelf of fridge; needles & lancet drums in cupboard in the utility room above the eggs; test strips in a bedroom drawer with some other pills (which are separate from the pills in a different cupboard in theutility). Works for me
