Type 1'stars R Us



Well done Alison. Now you have done it once I am sure you can do it again, maybe not wait as long as 15332 days mind you
 
New house, T, sounds like you'll be spending a lot of time in B&Q in the foreseeable future - the horrors and joys of DIY!
Don’t believe it. Just went to close window in conservatory and ****** me one of the hinges is busted. Gently placed window back in the hole.
It’ll be Screwfix on the way home tomorrow for a new pair of top hung window hinges no less.
Still love the place though.
 
Hi @Mel dCP, I certainly find that the night basal program is pretty efficient, sometimes too efficient. At least it is easily remedied with a pump ! I wonder whether you could look at the thread 'Omnipod Issues' and provide any input, please ?
 
Morning peeps hope you all had a good night

Well a great start to the week for me for a change. Bed at a BG of 5.3, couple of checks during night 6.1 and 6.5 before dropping back to 5.9 when I got up.

How long will these figures last . Who knows the joy of type 1

Hope you all have a good day
 

That's beautiful.
 
5.7 to 3.9 in the time it takes to grind coffee beans and brew them which removes the ability to pre bolus for porridge, and going by the patterns viewed on the Libre I think moving the jab to the morning could help, but I've always had basal on a night so this old dog will struggle with a new trick....
 
Morning everyone,

Blood sugar reasonably well behaved overnight, I corrected with an overripe banana, at one point, and it looked like it might go too high, so I did a 1u insulin correction, and that worked.

Does anyone thing there could be a possible process by which the more our blood sugars stay in normal range, that the easier it becomes to stay there?

I started wondering about this after a type 2 thread where there was a throwaway remark where someone said that their GP said to them that they have to change what they are doing because their body is used to a slightly higher blood sugar, and if they do nothing it will stay there, sort of because the body is used to it.

That's a very bad summary of what they said, and I know GPs can get things wrong, but it made me wonder if the more our blood sugars are stabilised in the normal range, the easier it becomes to keep it there.

I tried reading something about this, it was a hard google search, it focused on the role of gaba, but it was so complicated I gave up.

This is a very dodgy theory, but.............
 
We really need some testing to see what the grams of carb difference there is between an unripe and overripe banana ! I think that being in normal range suggests that there are no or very little see-sawing, and that the instability of BSLs which requires lots of corrections doses may tend to keep the see-saw going to some extent.
Also feeling better with BSLs in range is usually the less stressful state to be in. Keep up the great work !!
