Random goof function....that got me gigglingLol - I've written a spec for a similar app that I was working with a team to build, but it had to take a back burner. Believe me, it had a "random goof" function dropped in....
A simulation ap for T1d? I could loop the loop in a 747 on my lads flight sim
Morning everyone,
Changed sensor yesterday evening, and so of course I had a bit of a hypo problem soon after. So the sensor was not yet reliable, and I had to do loads of finger prick tests, and didn't get to sleep until gone 2 am.
But anyway, it was just a bit annoying, not much more than that, really.
I did some walking up hills yesterday, this isn't super impressive hill walking, I didn't walk the Munros, or anything, just a few very small hills in Edinburgh Old Town, the Pleasance was the peak, but I have to start small. That might be why my blood sugar went a bit weird last night.
I decided to keep a diary, because I can't walk very far without a downward arrow appearing on the Libre, which is a bit of a nuisance. I used to walk much more, but to do it I kept my blood sugar higher, and I've long past the point where I want to do that, but on the other hand I still want to go walking.
I’ve got a 12 cup oneA simulation ap for T1d? I could loop the loop in a 747 on my lads flight sim but expect a real plane might react differently
7.6 for lunch and working just around the corner, @Mel dCP I use a one cup Bialetti stove top a couple of times a day, and warm milk in a cup before whisking it@Knikki yeah, stewed about sums their coffee up but it's a lot better than Burger Kings
I feel posh now as I spend 12 quid a month on me and my coffeeI’ve got a 12 cup oneHad it for Christmas, the Bialetti ones are just brilliant. We buy a 1.15kg can of ground coffee for less than £9 in Costco, which lasts our family of three about a month. It’s the cheapest way I know to make amazing coffee, and no pods to dispose of. We’ve got Contigo travel mugs which are perfect for taking it out and about. I may be cheap but I have high standards

Have you tried say a 'rich tea' biscuit as a small carb snack (7g or so) for your walks? I ask as I often but not always need to 'carb load' for training, so I go from the current trend and use small amounts of carbs spaced out (the carbs, not me) if needed, a biscuit 15 mins beforehand and then a Dextrotab if it appears to be wanting to drop off.
Going back to some conversations about HCPs pretending to be T1D - there must be a phone app out there that simulates being T1D - can you imagine one where you do have to do a fingerprick test before eating, and every so often when the HCP enters a normal BG value it changes it to some thing random, oh and they can't complete the process and eat until they've figured out the carbs and dose and correction and preempt activities and the weather and the moon and the planets and the star alignments............! Oh and at random times just keeps beeping to tell them they are hypo then they have to tell it what they would do about that.
Theres got to be an app..................somewhere!
Not In Oz. Here is rhymes more with 'call, or 'awl'.Rhymes with owl.
Better than having to admit operator error !!Random goof function....that got me giggling
But not the same as having a hypo !!@slip My crew have all done something similar with saline, certainly the pump team. They wear the pump, complete with inserted cannula, and carb count and bolus using saline according to the BG values they get given to react to.
Don't give in the 'buyer's remorse' yet !!Oh it was going to well
Running OK till about 2 hours ago when went to 8.9 and up OK leave and watch, an hour later 12.4 and up so in goes 4units of Aspidistra check again about 30 minutes later up at 14.2 so in with another 4 units.
Consulsion:
Apidra is more aggressive than Nova and needs to be injected as per guide lines.
Spike will occur sooner then later when, again, compaired to Nova.
Apidra may need less injected to bring a spike down (watch this space) currently at 8 units I would be twice more than that with Nova.
For me, it certainly does not hang around in the body long and this and yestedays observation I think I might metabalise this stuff way way quicker than Nova.
Will I crash after all this?
Proabably
Might also start pushing Lantus up as well in the morning
Are you going to drop the basal a tad for the exercise involved in painting or um, suck it and see '?Morning all, sorry to hear about the Eeyore gloominess. I woke up on a 4.9, just having a late start to the day with some coffee brewed in my gorgeous Italian stove top moka pot. A pint of espresso should see me right. Turned the pump down by 50% for half an hour too.
Going to be doing a spot of painting in the bedroom today - dark purple around the window surround so the inevitable black mould doesn’t show quite so much in between cleanings. My walls are two feet thick, so it’ll take a little while, it’s a deep alcove!
I also say cawl to rhyme with owl, but I loathe soup so it’s not really an issue
I think we should give them a small shot of insulin and give them an idea on what a hypo is like. I keep telling my misses I want give her a few units of insulin to show her what it's like.....she ALWAYS refuse lolBut not the same as having a hypo !!
Don't give in the 'buyer's remorse' yet !!
Nah, I’ve just upped it a little as I was running a bit high. And I’ve not broken a sweat, plenty of tea breaksAre you going to drop the basal a tad for the exercise involved in painting or um, suck it and see '?
I’m thrilled it got there ok, and hope you never need it, but am glad to know you’ve got one in case xToday has improved.
Firstly, today's blackberry did not make me screw my face up as if I had just sucked on an unripe lemon.
Secondly, and most exciting, a purple jiffy bag arrived in the post today.
I instantly knew who it was from and now am the very proud owner of a backup blue half unit NovoEcho Pen.
Thank you very very much @Mel dCP .
If my pump dies again, I shall think of you.
In a positive way.
Well I am from North Wales so more nasal in tone than those down south - no idea what you Aussies are doing speaking Welsh though, even in NSW!Not In Oz. Here is rhymes more with 'call, or 'awl'.
