Yes she is a Tory and is well known too, her initials are M M.
There is merit in our faultiness!! Who wants to be perfect all the time, where is the challenge in that!! And whoever piloted a less than optimal pancreas without some crashes, air pockets and water skiing along the way ??
I don't mind the odd cockrell up so long as I can catch it early, should really have checked before I did, but felt OK, guess my Hypo and Hyper awarness is not as it should be Ho Hum.
We all make mistakes along the way, T1D is just a game and although we have the new tech around us, it simple can't replace the stoopidity of ourselves, even the ones who are "long time experts" get it wrong.
So 27 units of Sluggish now in me since 08:25 and it has leveled out at 18.2 so I have stopped it climbing. I just want/need the crash now, and will be running low for the next week even if that means low 4's possible high 3's.
Omnipod day tomorrow. Slightly bricking it, it’s the biggest change to my healthcare regime in 20 years. I’ve installed Nightscout on the husband’s phone, with an alarm set at 3mmol, so he can keep half an eye on me as I’m alone/driving/working with blowtorches a lot. Just while I get used to it.
Morning all! Just checking in while I burn Ferocious dog CDs for the car... @Jaylee - have you come across them?
@kitedoc - you do get an extensive array of alarm sounds, but sadly no option to choose an Alarm gig, which is a shame. Missed opportunity there... I usually have Siri shouting URGENT! HIGH GLUCOSE!!! at me, which is fun. At 3am. I only run the alarms at night, I can keep an eye on my watch when I’m awake.
@Robinredbreast - good luck with the day’s battles. Trying to work out who MM is now! Mary McCloud?
Went to bed with a 4.9 and a glucose tablet. Stayed in the 5s almost all night, which makes me very happy. Took a unit at half three, and another two at eightish, currently at a 6.7 and slowly falling. Not got a great deal on today, work is very slow (anyone want any silver handwriting jewellery making?), so I’m going to do some more sewing repair work on my ancestral patchwork quilt that’s falling apart. Always fun to see what effect a complicated job has on my levels...

Also @Robinredbreast try Jeremy Cornyn. Would love to see that at Pmqs. "I have an email fro RRB, a type 1 diabetic who suffered a life threatening hypo who was dehumanized during a UC interview..."
Oh gawds, bet that was a shock, hope you had the necessary to hand? So it was shark week resistance? Blimey. I’m definitely going to name the increased-by-however-much-basal profile on the Omnipod “shark week”I think I need a chat in the corner with @Mel dCP I've had insulin resistance all week (apart from the Ikea chair moment). Anyway this morning I discovered that I'm having a period! I exclaim because this does not happen to me since getting the implant almost 8 years ago. Horror!

And thanks, @porl69 - wondering if I’ll feel all nostalgic tonight when I take my final (for now, at least) Tresiba shot... and wondering how many NovoSluggish jabs I’ll be able to squeeze in between now and then
And I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t bought purple sparkly covers for the control unit
Yes indeed, the shark had me. Fortunately found a rather dusty box in the back of a cupboard with the required items.Oh gawds, bet that was a shock, hope you had the necessary to hand?

Just emailed Maria Miller and Jeremy Corbyn, but didn't mention diabetes !!
Maybe you should given that the PM is one of the crowd. Let us know what the responses are?
