Hmmmm............... a bit cannabalistic I would say. But in gingerbread man land who knows what is acceptable.
Yes, fair point, well made.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to you all, no work today, yayyyyyyyyyyy
I was awoken this morning by a strange noise outside, it was a neighbour scraping his car windshield, frost !and so bright and sunny outside
Awoke on a 3.7. so many hypo's yesterday and before bed, as the job can be physical and very busy too. Going to put the washing out on the line now and hoping to have a non pressured, relaxing, chilled out day, that would be bliss.
Don't forget :- PUT YOUR CLOCKS BACK SUNDAY@ 2pm, well I do mine before I go to bed, so an extra hour for us all![]()
Whoah, J, we're talking about two different things here, although they do both serve the same purpose at the end of the day.
Yer actual physically baked in the hot hell of an oven G Man is a hypo stopper when you eat him.
The libre G Man is a little gingerbread shaped icon in the libre reader screen which says how much iob there is if you tap him. Hugely useful knowing iob when deciding whether or not to correct or not, so he's doing as much as his baked cousin in reducing hypos.
Cheat code to get it is CAA1C in settings/professional options, and then twiddle through the settings, the wee fella turns up bottom right of the home screen when a bolus is entered.
I'm confused as to why Abbott don't use a syringe icon of sorts. Or a plain ol' "IOB?"
@smc4761 I know you would but it was just the last thing I wanted and it's just this wibbly wobbly where next. Just makes me feel that despite eating low carb, I can't win and I do feel that diabetes especially T1 is a constant battle and juggling act.Oh I would be over the moon with a 6.4
Good morning from a beautiful day.
The sun is shining. The sky is blue. There’s not a cloud to spoil the view.
And it’s not even raining in my heart.
I’ve been to the gym. I’ve done the laundry. I’ve bought some lunch (spicey veggie scotch egg...yum). And my BGs have behaved themselves so far.
Sounds brilliant, wish my madam BG would learn how to behave. Have a good evening
Fingers crossed the day continues ina similar way through the gardening, hair cut and night out in a wine bar. Or two. Or more.
I think they chose symbolism over brutal realism in their artistic decision making, there.
OOoooh. It's 2am surely? Else we might find ourselves with very long lunches?
Maybe not such a bad idea.![]()
I find the psychological side of T1 is the hardest part of it all, because as you say, it is a constant battle and juggling act. It’s mentally heavily demanding. I’ve also put on weight since getting Madame BG under control, despite eating less than 1200 calories a day, the temptation to let it run higher to lose a little weight is always in the back of my mind. Always around if you want a chat, peer support is what keeps me going, tbh.@smc4761 I know you would but it was just the last thing I wanted and it's just this wibbly wobbly where next.

Oh to be able to have the spontaneity to gobble down some fruit without thinking.
Everyone I read on this forum says lchf is a weight loss winner and keeps madam BG in check, well in my limited experience of 17 months, it hasn't done anything for me and I've gained 9k

The symbolism of a gender assiged toilet door sign has other connotations for me..
I was brought up in a 300 year old West Country cottage converted in the early 1970s & seen some strange paranormal activity as a lad. (Along with other family members & friends dropping by.)
One of which, Included a dark gingerbread man shape who would manifest behind the sofa, positioned in the centre of the living room that left a corridor. From the stairs to the kitchen.. (The whole house was a bit of a "hot spot" for that sort of thing. So was the pub next door.)
What I & others witnessed defies my personal "belief system."
No, I wasn't low...![]()
Haunted by gingerbread man! This does give greater credence to a conversation on this thread, from a month or two ago, about being haunted by jelly babies, after biting their heads off.
I've never seen a ghost myself, but there is a part me that likes the idea that life is a little mysterious, so I rather like the idea of them existing............as long as I don't actually see any.
That's just reminded me, the woman in flat 1 of this block tells me that every night around a quarter to ten her kettle starts boiling, and someone seems to be making themselves a hot drink, and it isn't her. We think it's the older woman who used to live there.
I actually found an old brown leather doctors bag not long after the incident in the empty attic by the water tank plinth, containing some classic Mozzart manuscript notation. So assumed she was possibly a pianist too..
