How are we supposed to keep control if someone, somewhere just can’t be bothered to give us the information we need.Can't find "slug" in Carbs & Cals!
@Fairygodmother 's mention of the Equality Act reminds me that we had a solicitor come to our office a while back to do an inhouse seminar on the Equality Act and reasonable adjustments in the workplace.
I mentioned libre, how it made life easier and asked whether purchase of it by the employer would be regarded as a reasonable adjustment for T1 employees.
Surprisingly, he said yes. Obviously, it was just an off the cuff answer without being fully thought through, but it got me thinking that there might be a case for running it past HR.
If you're in a trade union, I wonder whether it might be worthwhile getting some advice from their lawyers.
Libre's great but having someone else paying for it is even better.
Apparently an average snail weighs in with about 2 gram carbs. It’s a start.
Shattered and I've done jack squat. 50 bulbs still waiting in their bags, fell asleep in the chair after a bowl of soup for lunch and I could easily go and nod off now.
Tetchy and not a nice person at the mo. I think it might be my thyroid but I'm not sure if it's that wobbling or a diabetes doodah sideline I've not yet experienced. Just hate ambiguity!
I have to say 2.7 this morning was odd, just felt a bit sweaty but thought that was the CH being too high or the residue of the wine from yesterday evening.
Think this calls for a soothing glass of wine and an appointment with the vet asap. Haven't got any umph!!
First HbA1c since I've had the bluecon/miaomiao. For the past few years I've been hovering around 55ish. 44! Quite pleased with that.
(as mentioned before the alarms have given me the confidence to be a lot more aggressive with my correction doses).
I now wonder if the people at the clinic will say it's too low
Scott, I'm pretty confident it could be allowable with the HMRC, on the same basis as special height desks or orthopaedic chairs are for those with bad backs. When I was in big corporate land, I've (OK, my cost centres) even paid for operations to be done privately, to minimise waits and get the person back on form quickly.
@Alison54321 yep, you're right. London was a blast yesterday but not like it was anything excessive, well, just a tadge.I seem to recall in an earlier comment you told us you had some sort outing in London yesterday, quite a few people would be tired the next day, after that.
I think it's possible to almost expect more of yourself because of the diabetes, in a complicated sort of way, that I can't quite explain here, just now.
@evilclive you've done well. Slap on the back and a pot of coffeeFirst HbA1c since I've had the bluecon/miaomiao. For the past few years I've been hovering around 55ish. 44! Quite pleased with that.

Just made some dynamic low carb squid with kimchi. Unfortunately, it hasn't lifted my Seoul!!
From what a little light googling tells me, Toujeo is basically triple strength Lantus. They are both insulin glargine, but Lantus is at a strength of 100 units per millilitre, while Tuojeo is 300u/ml.Hiya, I want to ask people about changing from Lantus to Tuojeo and -where do I ask!? I'm a bit lost...
- I want to know how mild tuojeo is? As in, if you're ill, and unable to eat, do you continue take your usual tuojeo dose or do you halve it? So I read that the initial change from Lantus to Tuojeo takes about 5 days for the body to accommodate the new insulin. Did any of you continue to take a little Lantus or extra fast acting during the changeover?Do you find you need to do loads of exercise to keep everything tipping along nicely with Tuojeo?
Excitement can put the sugars up just as much as worry - life is so unfair BUT congrats and of course your vast experience of life does not extend to changing nappies !!!Morning y'all and thanksI incurred the wrath of a trainee midwife this morning taking my son back and had an out of hours visit, midwife in the room wasn't fussed though and said I could stay An emotional few months I guess losing mother and gaining 2 grandkids, the circle of life and all that jazz, a little voice in my head was saying "that's enough" as I skipped back out of the hospital.
Woke with an unexplained 15, had to eat with it a bit too high and even though I just had porridge and 2 extra units spiked to 17 and sat there so I've changed cartridge and had another 2.5 when I got home muttering 'Mels cat' under my breath...
Ah, @Fairygodmother do you know why the French eat snails?Yuk, too much slime! Tinned ants were all the rage in the 50s, and the Romans introduced big snails as a dietary delight, so maybe we could revive the benefits of the home grown?
Ah, @Fairygodmother do you know why the French eat snails?
Ok @kitedoc, I’ll play stooge: why do the French eat snails?
