Some people say diabetes can be caused by excessive sugar consumption, any one know what percentage of the Chinese population are diabetic 'cause we went out to a posh Chinese restaurant Monday evening and yes I did eat quite a bit but Mels cat it took a LOT of insulin to keep my BG out the stratosphere and then some and for some time after!
Daughters are **** good at finger wrapping.It was indeed the american eatery and yes at my age ! should know better! But she made me do it - the daughter that is! And yes perhaps she's got me wrapped around her little finger..........
So laid back I was horizontal!
Last time I had a Chinese was nearly 5 years ago, 3 days before I went to Gp to tell him I’d lost both my Mojo and a ton of weight and drank a bottle of water at the chemist before I had payed for it. (If someone had tried to stop me I would have murdered them, I was so thirsty.)
The Chinese was delicious, posh and extensive. I was violently ill during the night. Major sugar overload obviously! Haven’t dared have one since.
I had egg fried konjac rice tonightI love Chinese especially Special Fried Rice, tre it does push my BSL up but not that much and I usually split dose which handles things nicely.
Talking of which out for a sit down Indian on Friday and looking forward to that.
Hi @Mel dCP, from reading and past experience of abscesses (cannot claim wizardly knowledge or powers)!!Afternoon all, just in the back of the car on the way to Hay on Wye...
**** night, kept going high and had to take corrections, now down to 3.9 so obviously overcooked it. All my cats.
Thanks for the info, @kitedoc - I’m aware that abscesses form a sort of capsule which can resist treatment with the standard flucloxacillin that I have. Doc said to go back in a week if it’s not improved, but I’ll be away from home. So I may have to try a walk in centre at my mum’s if necessary. I can feel a hard area under the skin, which I assume is the thing itself. It seems to be coming to the surface from deeper down, if that makes sense?
? not a reaction to MSG also??Last time I had a Chinese was nearly 5 years ago, 3 days before I went to Gp to tell him I’d lost both my Mojo and a ton of weight and drank a bottle of water at the chemist before I had payed for it.

As useful as insulin in the deep freezer; as useful as a marzipan meal to a diabetic, as useful as cheese during a hypoHow about ...
"As useful as a diabetic having a hypo"
Hi @smc4761, I find the insulin pump gives me a basal better tailored to my needs than the long-acting insulin regimes ever could. And I can up the basal during stress to obtain a better overall cover for such stress and have it working in far less time than with adjustment of long-acting insulin doses.. Yes, the boluses may need upping as well during stress. Of cpurse if one can aford CGM, or use Libre and can rely on the accuracy of same,. life does become more predictable. Not saying it is miraculous and that pumps do not have their own quirks but less hypos, more predictability are improvements I can live with !!Morning folks I hope you all have a good un
Time for a rant, again.Sunday afternoon to Sunday bedtime BG were goodish at around 6, just before bed it was 6.5. Woke to a 10.6. Monday was goodish most of day and went to bed on 5.7 but woke to a 9.6. Dawn phenomenon??.
Yesterday was good most of day except after dinner where instead of staying flatish around 6 it rose to 10.1 just before bed.
Now I have eaten same amount of carbs at same times, taken the relevant dose of insulin, with corrections where necessary. Done the same things, sod all apart from sit at a computer.
So to bed last night on a 10.1, what will it be in morning 13 maybe 14. Of course not, it dropped to 8.7 then 6.1 then 4.7 just before I got up at 6.30. At 6.45 its 6.3????
As I am due a visit to pump clinic next week, to assess my need for a pump, I have deliberately not been taking extra correction doses outwith meal times. Now if I had taken a correction dose last night that would have really sent me to hypo land.
So a question to those with a pump, would the pump really make a difference if my BG are so unpredictable.
No wonder we type 1's can get stressed so much
I shall have to try the toe nail painting. Beats the idea of painting garden gnomes. Perhaps the fumes of the nail varnish create a stillness in the mind and distraction from the world yet enable one to keep enough focus to continue engaging in the meeting..@karen8967 your meme reminded me of the line from the BBC article about running meetings and conference calls, "And just as everyone finally gets stuck into some content, someone will inevitably crash in, apologise for being late, and the whole thing starts over. In my experience, I've found that it's best to mute yourself before you start screaming."
These meetings tend to raise my BG although working form home, I often find a way to distract myself. In the summer I paint my toenails which helps to keep my diabetes in check.
I wish mine would stop il have to have a word with myselfGood morning everyone! Yesterday was going well until the following happened and I don't even know why, it's like my insulin decided it was going on strike
12 units of Novorapid correction!!!!!
Keep at it @karen8967 you'll get rid of those hypos soon enough! I've been told to stop having so many hypos the other day :s
