My gingerbread man has disappeared. Something weird happened, I tried to put my numbers in and reader got all intrusive and started asking questions I couldn't be bothered to answer, and now he's gone.

Does anyone remember the code to get him back?

CAA1C

Thank you. I'll write it down and keep it somewhere sensible, so if he escapes again I can get him back in his little prison, without troubling anyone else.

Hi Knikki, Only been on Nova for about 5 months, prior to that I was on Humalog for many years. I believe that Nova and Humalog are basically the same insulins just different manufacturers.

Humalog is insulin lispro, novorapid insulin aspart. No, I don't know what that means the difference is either, though reading the wikipedia pages on them is interesting and explained it well (well, to me at least ). (both are tweaked so the insulin molecules don't combine as readily).

They both aim to do the same thing though, which is be fast.

Who remembers when novorapid was the new superfast insulin?

I’ve got it programmed into my phone with the Abbott phone number

@smc4761 - the Libre really is an eye opener, isn’t it? It’s been surprising what it’s showing us all. Might be worth changing to a faster one like Fiasp or Aspidistra - are you pre-bolusing by much? @kev-w is a whizz at that. @evilclive - they said it was SOOOOOOOOO fast you could inject after eating, iirc... I suppose it was, compared to Act-not-very-Rapid

Oh, and I caught another unicorn today

Goodnight friends

Good evening everyone. Just found myself with a quiet 5 minutes so I thought I’d see how my diabetic friends are.
A quick scan of recent posts seems to suggest little has changed. Those diabetic obstacles are still present and are being overcome by everyone even if with a little help from fellow posters.
2 weeks in new home, starting to get settled now. Joined a new gym, very daunting after 20+ yrs at previous gym.
Stay safe, stay positive and look after yourselves.

Morning campers. Nice dinner of kedgeree last night, made with roasted cauliflower rice. Managed to get my dose right for it, for once! Smoked haddock is going into the list of protein I don’t need to bolus for, as long as I cover all the carbs, even if they are the slow veggie ones that DAFNE tells us to. 14g carbs in a massive bowlful, bolused 1.35u extended over an hour (love the ability to do this!) and the Etch a Sketch showed me in range all night.

Woke up at sparrow fart for the bog, saw I was in mid sixes so whacked in half a unit (blue blob) to stop it going up any further and that seems to have done the trick.

Hopefully the rest of the day will run as smoothly. Teenage son just arrived home by train for the first time, which meant I didn’t have to get my **** out of bed to drive to Cardiff to get him, so it’s nice to have him home. Until it isn’t More decorating today, need to move some heavy things so teenager will be assisting...

Hope you all have a calm day, friends.

Make sure you make an appointment with the teenager to do the moving. He might already have plans ...

Hi Moggely, if only it was easy it would make life soo much easier. I can eat same things at same time, do the same thing. One day its fine, the next high and the next low. There is no logic to it. Even after 37 years, every day is a learning day.

all I can suggest is just test a lot and make adjustments to your diet and insulin as required

Ours is not to ask why, ours is but to guess and try !!

What a morning roll on 2 oclock View attachment 28173

In cricket terms it would be D for Duck; in horse racing M for Muck; in General terms, S for Suck; in rodeo B for Buck; on the Mississippi , H for Huck; Japanese, N for Nuck; hockey, P for Puck; football R to Ruck; bed-making T for Tuck; and Z for Zuck.
So let's duck the puck and muck, buck the nuck and huck, luck the tuck and ruck, and zuch the zuch. No swear words needed !!

Having drunk the sublime coffee at a new cafe this morning, with caffeine levels in the
stratosphere and BSLs in the normal habitable zone, I have turned a tad philosophical.
I ask you to bare your minds, harness your emotions: The title is "Risk".#
"To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, To weep is to risk appearing sentimental,
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
She or he may avoid suffering and sorrow, but she/he simply cannot learn, feel,
change grow, love ..... live.
Chained by her/his certitudes she/he is a slave; she/he has forfeited freedom.
Only a person who risks is free......... "
# Author unknown.
Now apart from opening a lemonade stall at the front of the house, and me getting
started on some sewing repairs -
what is worth risking ??

My motto regarding risk : "What's the worst that could happen". It's generally alien invasion.

@kitedoc what a great post and so very true, would love a lemonade.. I really enjoy your quotes it's almost like poems. Maybe you have missed your calling.

Thank you @Moggely. I do feel for those that are in despair and who lack the means
to make that first step or regain some of what they have lost. Perhaps friends, advocates
and others need to carry them a little, set them on their feet, encourage and support them
back to self-reliance.
Perhaps 'A risk shared is a risk halved" ? And "To risk is to whisk away Doubt."
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid would have not been the same if one did not have the other
to share the risk.
Poetry ? I have yet to dip my thumbnail in tar, but it could be fun. Thank you.
The word is mightier than the sword cut. (when one is fully armoured first)
