Good morning y'all, a waking 5.1 for me, porridge problems ahead as the microwave just went bang whilst warming my milk for my coffee, I'm not liking the look of the wind or the weather forecast either so I don't know my work plans yet but at least it's Friday

Edit, porridge pot pic as promised

And perhaps the oats mash can be used as a glue, and for insulation, a poultice and much more !!

I’m a fan of both as long as it’s a thin crust put your own topping on pizza - Toms, oregano, anchovy, mushroom, sliced courgette, a smattering of parmesan; and proper unrefined big flake Scottish porridge!

Birthday Greetings, Novoslow on speed dial !!
 
Strained oats make for a good glue and oats eaten cold orientate one to the position of one's stomach. Oats do contain beta-glucans which apparently are good for you. Add salt to porridge and one's accent changes to Scottish. What is not to like ???
 
6.1 at 5.30am.
I'm managing but still eating loads with reduced insulin and puzzled by it.
Had a massive meal at 6pm followed by some pringles went to bed on 7.8 and expected a higher reading than 6.1 this morning.

Have a freaky Friday

@Knikki - may your day go without a hitch, other than getting hitched!

I seem to be having a good time at the mo number wise, another night and morning with 5's on the score board - I just haven't done anything different though to what I normally do and these numbers are exceptional good for me! (and control appears to be dead easy! )
 
Best wishes to Mr and soon-to-be Mrs Knikki today! Hope you've remembered to mute your alarms

Friday seems to be one of my better days of the week generally. 6.5 -> 8.9 overnight to this morning. Pre-bolused for the bowl of porridge I made and I'm currently tracing the outline of a mini big dipper on xDrip.

Edited to add: It's quite cold and fresh up here this morning. My heating would have kicked in if I didn't have the thermostat set to off still from the summer.

Good morning, it's a sunny start to Friday, back garden looks like it's had a fight and lost lol. woke up on 12.1 so hoping to get that down. food shopping this morning and daughter wants me to buy Monster munch for her
 
Morning everyone.

Have a lovely day @Knikki and Mrs Knikki.

Blood sugar followed usual pattern last night, went a little bit too low, had to correct, went a little bit too high, had to correct, woke up somewhere in the middle. Which is ok, but.............

Had some overnight oats for breakfast, which is my solution to the porridge dilemma. Currently I soak a small amount of oats in some yoghurt, bit of water, and add some cinnamon, cocoa, and frozen raspberries. Tastes really nice, and barely a spike.
 
Quick question regarding which chemists sell Tegaderm patches? My local Boots is out of stock, I can go to the town one to see if they've got any but do say 'Lloyds' sell them or anywhere does anyone know?

I've a new sensor put on last night, no patch so thought I'd grab a couple just then whilst paying bills before swimming no patch no swim so a cycle to town's maybe not a bad idea as exercise replacement but it's currently persisting down and I maybe don't need the exercise that much
 

I use a waterproof sport tape that’s really created to support and improve muscles (not really my aim) with a sensor sized piece of tissue to stop it sticking and ripping the sensor off so if you can find some it’d be a stopgap til tegaderm’s back on the shelves. JD Sports might have some. I got mine from Lidl a bit of a while ago.
Hope the bs, plus a bit of carb, work for the cycle ride - don’t get blown off!
