It was 100% below target, and now you've extended it even further. I tend to focus more on the above target, and worry less about hypos, they are mostly collateral damage in pursuit of keeping the above target down, in my view.

Though don't want them to be too serious, but...........
 

Never mind mate I am sat here running between 3.5 and 4.4 at the moment and anyway life would be so boring if we got 100% all the time well.....actually......thinking about it.......one day would not be bad but wait oh hang on whats that I see yep cake
 
I'll take this opportunity, while we're talking about @Knikki wedding, to remind him that I did point out to him that one of the thread rules is that if you get married you have to post a photo so that we can all go ahhhhhh. It can be soft focus, vague outlines, taken from an obscure. or quirky, viewpoint, airbrushed, cropped, or impressionistic in interpretation, but a photo we must have.
 
To answer your question, I use Tegaderm but I want to try Skin Tac wipes (think @Mel dCP may use these, mentioned in earlier posts).

But that's a pretty minor thing compare with getting married on Friday! Congrats and I'm with the @Alison4321 team, photo decidedly necessary

@Knikki has casually thrown in this getting married thing a couple of times before, I think he casually mentioned looking at menus for his own wedding related event, a few weeks ago.

But this very important life event doesn't get many mentions.

I missed that post!? When was this announced @Knikki???? Oh and congratulations
 

Ah I thought I missed that. BIG news like that should be the main headline and not a sub-mention lol

Congratulations (again) mate
 
Libre, MiaoMiao, Sugar, food, cake (oh, and I’m getting married).... *rolls eyes at @Knikki * Which of the angels is the lucky one? Confessing to quite a longstanding crush on Captain S. Capt Blue is a bit bland...

Morning all! Sketchy sensor reading hypo, lucky I can recalibrate it with blood... 5.1

Captain Scarlett, I use a Skin Tac wipe and the MM stickers before sticking any of my gadgets on, which does work pretty well for at least the first week (bra straps notwithstanding) - after that I put a strip of kinesiology tape over the whole assembly. I mask the middle section with a sencond bit of tape, so that there’s less sticky in contact with the gadgetry to clean off after. Some use Tegaderm, but if found that holds it on so tightly against my skin it gets itchy on the corners of the MM.
 
Il save you a sunbed wat do you want to drink
 

Congratulations Captain Scarlet
 
@hh1 and @Mel dCP Thanks on the sticky stuff, going to mooch around a certain online retailer and see whats what

@Mel dCP You have come across @Mrs Knikki as she responded to a post when a non diabetic partner was asking for some advice on dealing/living with a T1D, as awesome as we are, it was some time ago but she does wonder through the forum every now and again
 
Good morning everyone,

with @karen8967 on holiday it's a bit quiet round here. Not much to report, I reduced my Levemir dose last night by 1 unit, because I just didn't want another midnight hypo, it was ok, I didn't get the hypo, but I needed to do a small correction at 2 am, and 6 am, which is not ideal, but nor is it the end of the world. So I'll have to think about that.

Have a good day, everyone.
 
Morning all, 1am high and 7am low again, so more fiddling required. Pfffft. Going for bloods at my GP surgery this morning to have a look at my thyroid, as I have all the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism. Drinking lots of water to make sure I’m nice and juicy for that, last time I went I was a dried out old husk and she had to really rummage around in both arms with the needle to get any last time. Quite keen to avoid that, as you can imagine!

Hope you all have a nice day, smooth sailing all around
 
Good morning y'all waking hypo for me, low on the Libre and 3.1 on a fingerstick, happy Friday and all that jazz.

4.2 now, pre bolussed and scanning every couple of minutes as it'll go up before it comes down, a bowl of porridge waiting, poached eggs have been fun this week having found one of those silicon poaching things at mums, I can get 3 eggs in it and it makes a nice plate filling shape

I'm making myself hungry talking about food
