Could well be a hypo. I’ll know later if the wife wants to know why I ran outside earlier, stood arms out wide and looking upto the heavens shouting “ come on baby let me have it”
 
@helensaramay . Maybe the biggest bugbear I have with all this forum/ internet stuff is when I give advice to someone who has asked for it or have asked about the well-being of someone struggling only to get diddly squat in reply.
A thank you surely isn’t that difficult or even an emoji thingy at the least.

On another thread, I thanked a member for his nice friendly reply and then stated that some are pedantic and appear rude, so I won't waste my precious time or energy on them.

Hi @Robinredbreast . Hope the day has improved and continues to stay good for you.
It looks like you’ve got your hands full at the moment :) and I’m sure Cleo will continue to be a handful in years to come:):). You’re a lucky Grandma.:)

46 years for me and I still learn something new every week. Still confuses me on times. BUT I am still here after all that time, so I class myself as a winner :)
Just waiting for @Knikki to come and trump me on his length of service to the T1D cause :D

Twenty years down the road and I still feel like I’m making it up as I go along... you get the odd spell when you think you’ve got it nailed, and then your body mixes it all up just to show you who’s boss :rolleyes:

We are always learning Mel, I have had pretty good readings for the past 2 1/2 weeks, then this morning awoke on a 17.0, not good, but managed to get it down to 11.1 by lunchtime.

I would love to see it. I admire people so much who get to 50 years with type 1, as we all know the pitfalls, the up's and down's and the, yes moment's, when we can give ourselves a pat on the back.

One of the downsides of being diagnosed type 1 later in life, is I will have to live much longer to get the medals.
Won't stop me trying!

That's true, I was diagnosed at 31, so I will be81 on my 50th diaversity............. not sure how that is going to pan out, but at least I know now that I have a life to pan out............. however many years it is :)
