Back from my Job Centre interrogation with Robert, the 'work coach' and I have to go for another 'interview' tomorrow, @3.20pm with regards to my commitment, and other things (which Robert couldn't comment on) basically, to see as to whether I am telling the truth about being in Intensive care, but I have my discharge paper. He also gave me a 16 digit number that I have to use for updating on my Universal credit online account. I am getting so frustrated and anxious by all this and it makes me feel like I am some kind of fraud, guilty until proven innocent m'lord. i know it's just not me, as other people must go through it as well, it's so deflating, but I will be there tomorrow.
Hope your day has been a good one.

Welcome back!
My only problem with icecream when I am out is the carb guestimate.
But when I get it right (i.e. when I weigh it at home), it is as easy to dose for as any of my daily grazes.

Hi @helensaramay, Perhaps carry a portable weighing machine and a container to weigh it in ?? A jewellery type weighing machine and one of those collapsible silastic bowls.Just a thought !!
 
Morning all! Late night/early morning so slept in. Now 12 pm in South Australia and the obvious just struck me, the fast from 2 am til now gives me a test of the basal program of the pump, sadly without CGM but still. That the program can assist with a late (or early) start to the day is a bonus.
Sayings for the day: The early bird catches the worm, but the later one catches the worm that hid away.
AND on a low carb diet what is worse than finding your apple full of worms?
Finding no worms, where is the protein going to come from??
 
Gooooood morning DIABETNAM.!

Woke at 4.2. Don't know if that's at a stop, or will drop further.. So I'll treat me with a 5g & see... Plus a little more milk in my coffee. But hey, the sun's up & it's a beautiful day after a dismal start to the week.. So to speak.

Peace out. Be good.
 
Morning y'all, yesterday I had my flattest ever Libre line all day, this morning I woke hypo, 2.2 on a finger stick and was a shivering sweaty mess, lowest I've dropped for some time, I wouldn't moan but I woke at 6am and didn't scan and turned back over which was a bit stupid of me but anyway.

Be a slow start today....

Aye there's a 60g bowl of it waiting to cook, but I'm not rushing to bolus for it, I'm ok now but was pretty confused when I crawled out of bed thinking it was Saturday...

Not last night they didn't BUT I was waiting JUST IN CASE

@kev-w I hate mornings like that, makes you feel week and lethargic most of the day

Well my alarm didn't go off on my phone this morning! (I turned it off last nigh for some unknown reason!?) I was 6.3 this morning BUT had to miss breakfast, which I hate doing. May have to pop around the shop for a sausage roll
 

Hope you are back to normal very soon................. well relatively normal lol Take care
 
Good morning, it's a very sunny one here, washing on and son is popping round soon. Woke up on 4.9, but with a banging headache, always the lower left side and a coughing fit didn't help, but a couple of painkiller's has helped.
Still in my jim jams, so I will shower a little later.
Wishing you all a happy Tuesday
 
Hi @Robinredbreast, Why not shower in your jim jams and save on clothes washing at the same time !!
 
Good start at 6.8 this morning, followed by a run, had my yoghurt and berries and i'm currently sat at 12.8mmol/l - another correction dose, am putting it down to the cooler temperatures
 
On holiday so the t1d can do one! Although G&T seems a good regime with a flat line over night the night before last however last nights graph was not pretty, beer, eating late out and no idea of carbs, well obviously more than I thought, Mount Everest has just lost its crown as highest mountain
