Morning all, BG 5.4 @23:30 > 5.9@ 06.30 > 5.9 @ 09.00 > *fist pump
Suddenly, he took control of her blue Animas Vibe pump (exactly the same as mine) and she had a hypo. Thankfully, the good guys got to her in time and gave her a glucogon injection and she was saved.
We’ll be sorted if they want old hands with a spectacularly dead pancrearse...Bora da.
Had a huge tea last night loads of mash, burgers, sausage and gravy. Calculated carbs and bolused accordingly. Tested before food 8.6, 2 hours after 8.6 WOOHOO. Before bed 8.6.....now starting to think my Libre is playing up!? BG test and 8.6 WOW. Now I usually get a delayed B G rise 3-4 hours after mash potatoes so when I woke this morning was super surprised to see 4.4, bit of a drop BUT hey I am happy
Sent an email off this morning to the Cardiff University Hospital to see if I could be put forward for the current clinical trial. I think I may not be eligible because I am a long termer! They are looking for type 1's over 2 years. Maybe I am over qualified lol
Slightly jealous of all these clinic mentions, been over a year since my last appointment - suppose I should give them a call to see but not sure I can be bothered.
Just phoned my GP to ask about my recent blood tests from 7 days ago. Went initially for a foot check up and asked about coming off statins as I have been on them forever. Receptionist said that I need to see my GP for the results as she can't give them over the phone! After 5 mins of heated discussion I have an appointment next Friday! Hoping it's just going to be about my cholesterol results and not my HBA1C which I also asked for. A bit panicky now for 9 days....
Not yet. Will be asking about that next FridayDo you have on-line access to your GP records/test results?
Morning All,
My excitement last night was not dinner (although the squashage paella was very tasty) - it was the TV show we were watching.
It was Flash (an American Super Hero/comic book character). The bad guy had super human powers which allow him to control "tech". He forced a lift to go out of control and kill a guy who had made money out of him; he took control of a Toyota Prius stopping the brakes from working; ... you get the gist.
There was this woman who had also made a lot of money out of the bad guy (before he went rogue). He went round to her very plush pad as she was playing some computer game. At first, there was nothing obvious which could kill her. Until, the bad guy mentioned her diabetes. Suddenly, he took control of her blue Animas Vibe pump (exactly the same as mine) and she had a hypo. Thankfully, the good guys got to her in time and gave her a glucogon injection and she was saved.
It was so pathetically exciting to see my pump on TV, it wasn't until later that I realised a super rich woman technical woman is likely to have the latest diabetes tech - not a pump which is no longer available.
I haven't done the prescription online due to Boots is just up the road from me and they put the scripts in for me.Last year I asked the GP receptionist and was told (rather aggressively) it was not possible to get access to my records unless I write a formal letter to the practice manager.
For some reason (distraction, probably), I didn't. Then last time I went to order my prescription on line, I noticed they were there anyway.
So, if you have any on-line access for prescription requests, it may be worth checking. You never know, they may have just snuck it in.

Thank goodness for the good guys.
Was she rescued by Flash? did he have jelly babies on him?
