Do you ever think you hear a tiny little cry as you bite their legs off?

It is common that hot weather can cause a hypoglycemia; as a possible explanation, metabolism is faster (think of heat as a catalyst for metabolism) thus insulin absorption is faster but shorter.

Insulin absorption in hot weather is much quicker as blood vessels are more dilated than usual - things travelling at a much quicker rate and so hypos more prevalent

I wish that was the case with me. Exact opposite I’m afraid. Have had virtually no hypos the past few weeks. Normal service will resume shortly I expect. High high all the way!

Are those emojis the headed parts of three headless jelly baby ghosts?
I do have a penchant for the blue/black ones.

They are, indeed, the jelly baby ghosts who haunt those who bite their heads off first, as they carry their head under their arm, in the finest tradition of beheaded ghosts.

And then they all get together in a hyperactive ghost dance
 
Afternoon all, very late on parade today... took my elderly friend Mad Jean to Ikea and other Cardiffian horror sheds. I also had a nice flat line overnight, so of course had to screenshot it for posterity



Anyway... was chuckling at the robot toys with Mad Jean as she said I’d be one soon when my phone rang, and it was the Diabetes clinic at my local hospital - I’m getting my Omnipod next Thursday! Think I’ll try to find some cuddly moneybag toys to pose with, perhaps the bank will phone to offer me some cash...

 
Only the eight injections so far today, 92% in range (4-7mmol), so I count that as a win.

What I’m less impressed with is finding two of my cats shredding (and stuffing their faces with) a pigeon on my stairs, as I came down from filling the chests of drawers I was building last week from the contents of my floordrobe, hanging a mirror and wiring up a new light... the other beastling was patiently waiting for me to open a can of non-pigeon flavoured cat food.

Wine is now happening.

Edit - ten injections.
