A 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
 

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.
 
I’ve got a 12 cup one Had 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
 
I feel posh now as I spend 12 quid a month on me and my coffee there's a local roaster near me so I get 2 types of freshly roasted coffee, a Vietnamese one ground for the stovetop and half a kilo of Honduran beans so I've a choice of the cafetiere too. Tetley tea otherwise and on an evening
 

Alison I am the same as you, I love walking and combine this with photography/birdwatching thrown in to keep it interesting, but don't let me near a hill. Just gentle walks maybe 8/10 miles preferably on the flat. Like you if I go walking my Libre shows downwards arrow quite soon, so I have to top this up with some chocolates,mmmm.

Had another great night, staying between 4.5 and 6 all night. Woke up to a 4 which is a bit low for my liking, but did not panic. had my muesli and just took my levemir. Waited till I got to work 30 mins later and took my Novorapid, as BG was now around 6. Checked a couple of times and it had shot up to 11.1 around 10.00am. Now at 1 pm I am sitting at 3.9 and going down.

Back onto the rollercoaster I go, good job I have a season ticket!!!
 

I have, I've used many different things, I carb loaded with a cereal bar, today, but it doesn't stop me being annoyed that I have to, though.
 

Evil!! Love it! Soooo many uses.
 
@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.
But not the same as having a hypo !!
 
Don't give in the 'buyer's remorse' yet !!
 
Are you going to drop the basal a tad for the exercise involved in painting or um, suck it and see '?

Nar just a case of learning something new.

Well bottomed out at 2.8 and the drop is certainly quicker than Nova and less severe as yes I guess i was in Hypoland but felt fine, no cold sweats and could still think straight

So leason to be learnt:

When I see Etch A Sketch at 8 or above and pointing up drop a couple of units of Apidra in which should catch it.

Stick 8 units in over a period of 2 hours will crash me, however this is way less than I was doing with Nova.

Still learning

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 breaks

Rather than take my first day simple program and start from scratch tweaking it, I’ve duplicated the sharkweek basal profile and knocked everything back by a third (more or less), as I’d got that finely tuned to different times of day and it was working well. Should be a bit less fiddling to do... hopefully.
 
I’m thrilled it got there ok, and hope you never need it, but am glad to know you’ve got one in case x
 
Hope everyone is doing well, found myself in the hospital because I have gastroenteritis. Doing ok so far managed to keep a fairly good sugar to say how **** I feel
 
Not In Oz. Here is rhymes more with 'call, or 'awl'.
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!
