Had some cheese and a cuppa. So will get a rise but nothing frightening.

I felt the same about mine when I went from 39 to 48. I put it down to complacency at the end of my first year and going on holiday and feeling reassured that I wasn't going to die if I ate some bread and drank that beer.HMMM not a happy bunny.
Had a blood test done a couple of weeks ago and finally found out my HbA1c which is at 44(it is one up from March). The DSN was very happy, where as I am about it as I want to be lower.
So, got till mid December to try and get it below 40 or as close to 40 as I can get it.
Now I am a bit more use to Aspidistra and Dulac it should be achievable.
@Mel dCP How you feeling today? Bit more up from yesterday?
Other than the above, night time BSL crept over 10 but have manage to keep it lower during the day so not bad over all.
I must just have blanked the need to restock. But am cross because after last week's forgotten basal and today's needles I am at risk of getting careless. Must try harder.
Did you invoke Mel's cat? Good to hear I'm not the only daft one.Oddly, I forgot my Novopen at work the t'other day.. Thought it was in my bag with my lunch..
Normaly it's in my "trades men's" work trousers, along with my meter & hypo stuff?
I had to settle for a couple of meat ball things in a bag to stave off any pangs for the afternoon..
Unusual for me as I normally keep all my stuff together & grab it for the morning routine..
Lol, I did find a spare needle in on of my pockets during a "pat down."

@Diakat - I know it’s bad practice (and I’m the queen of that), but might it be an idea to not remove the old needle until you’re about to pop a new one on, so this doesn’t happen again? So yes, you’d be reusing it, but at least you could have your shot x
if so you could tell your surgery you want a Humapen Luxura HD,
I find this so comforting @Diakat, knowing it's not just me who does these things. Same with @helensaramay, I have been without that toothbrush on travel for work and it's hideous; lots of hotels (if you're staying in one) will have a cheap (or even complimentary) emergency option.
My day's been one of the best I've had for ages because I had an a1c test on Monday and my DNS rang me to tell me the result was 53. This is the best I've achieved for literally years, and puts me under the 58 required by Somerset CCG to get Libre on prescription. Just checked my online records and there it is in my repeat medication list ready to be ordered for free after a year. Call me slow to get there and I don't care; what is true is that it's made a huge difference as have the people on here. Seeing how so many of you take correction doses so often and how that allows you to achieve incredibly good control over a completely undomesticated lifelong condition spurred me to do the same, with growing confidence until I've reached this point. So, many thanks to all of you for the example you've set and what you've absolutely helped me to achieve. Now for some cake
I seem to have enough bad habits as it is, good idea though as it would have been (more of) a pain if I'd been hyper to start with.@Diakat - I know it’s bad practice (and I’m the queen of that), but might it be an idea to not remove the old needle until you’re about to pop a new one on, so this doesn’t happen again?
