Your dad was in a band?
My great grandfather had a band. Let's just say he had a few "groupies" & here I am.. Rock & roll..
Has anyone who discovered hitherto unknown relatives found other T1s among them? My nephew, half-sister’s son, was a T1.
If they’d watched South Pacific they might have got all gooey eyed.From the Old Swan Pub somewhere near the Thames (Google says Battersea).
My father is the guitarist on the left. Not sure how many groupies would have been following these 3 around but hey, you never know.

Did you steal my blood sugars? I went swimming this morning and very unexpectedly dropped to 2.8, which didn't make sense at all.Well it might have worked the last time, but it certainly didn't work today. 1/2 hour into swimming I shot up to 8.9. By the time I got out I was 10.5 and climbing. I immediately gave a correction dose and ended up at 13 before starting to come down. I ended up taking 3 times a normal dose over the next 2 hours
ive lowered basal only by half a unit as im so sensitive to insulin and numbers have shot up if i add the half unit they drop its a nightmare at times .....oh the joys of diabetesMorning all, whilst being extremely careful with the sun I managed to get burned yesterday. Gardening, nice breeze, dappled shade, didn't realise the sun had got on to my back and as I was gardening in a vest I can now see the shape of it quite clearly! Really cross with myself. I don't do sunburn!
Hope you're all a lot more sensible and enjoy the rest of what here is a lovely weekend. Oh, and @karen8967 I'm still in hypo central, can't seem to get it right at the moment. Don't suppose sunburn helps...
I have found this as well , just making a very small dosage change makes a heck of a difference and sometimes if I make a large dosage change it then has the opposite effect and my blood sugar shoots up , Doesn't seem to make sense does it ?ive lowered basal only by half a unit as im so sensitive to insulin and numbers have shot up if i add the half unit they drop its a nightmare at times .....oh the joys of diabetes
Yep, adjusting basal just seems to need the finest tuning possible. Maybe there's some mystery formula for doing it that I haven't found yet.....ive lowered basal only by half a unit as im so sensitive to insulin and numbers have shot up if i add the half unit they drop its a nightmare at times .....oh the joys of diabetes
