Same here tony im a good cook but dont enjoy cooking
 
I like cooking and I'm not bad at it - when I have the time! Because it's what my Mum did, cooking for other people is for me a way of looking after them and showing I care about them. And I quite enjoy catering for people who don't eat certain things; did a dinner for about 8 people, all bar one of whom couldn't or didn't eat this that or the other. Everyone could eat everything except one of the desserts (we had three - they're my favourite thing to cook so there's always a choice!) Cooking just for one can get tedious though, so I tend to batch cook so there's always something in the freezer for when I CBA

We do have a dish washer in our house, however it is sometimes argumentative and stroppy, because it is me and actually don't mind doing it, shame about the rest of the house

Whoever cooks in our house the other person has to wash/clean up. I love cooking BUT tend to be a VERY messy cook and use a lot of pans etc so i am forced NOT to cook much lol
 
Am home from hols. Boo! Do get 18 month old grandson tomorrow though, hurrah! Have missed him.
On the cooking front. Love it, did a catering diploma and worked in the industry. Still bake regularly, including bread. And cook most meals from scratch. As someone who enjoys all domestic work, I feel a bit out of step in todays society. However, I’ve always thought a clean, well ordered home makes everything else in life run smoother. And as we know more than most, we are what we eat. So I like to know exactly what I am putting into my body.
 
Hmmm, 6.1 at 4pm so I ate the egg and 10g carbs to spike to 14.8, 1.5u taken at 4.45 and still at 14 at 6pm so I had my tea time insulin and sacked the gym, new Humalog and I'm sat at 15 now.

This has to be a basal issue then
 
Good to see you back and ok now @Cumberland!
Thanks for the photo tip Mel, I’ve downloaded Vintique - took ages as we’ve a net connect prob needs sorting - and must remember to go through it for photos to upload.
Hope you get back on track with the bs before too long @kev-w, it’s a real pig when they don’t behave.
And all the cooking talk! I enjoy it when I’m in the mood, but the weighing, ingredient calculating and carb counting’s not as much fun as the cooking. Bah!
 
Well I saw the DSN again this afternoon, I had to leave mud pie making early to get there and arrived with clay under my fingernails and on my clothes.
It was a good meeting and she took in all the variations and agreed my results couldn’t be ruled by any algorithms. Would you call it brittle, I asked. Yes, she replied, it’s brittle. Gulp. But having lived with it for this long I know it just requires extra infuriating vigilance.
She looked at all the novoslow’s reluctance to take effect and wrote a prescription for Fiasp which I’ll be able to pick up tomorrow.
Trying not to see it as insulin with superpowers, and I’ll see how that goes.
I think I might ask for another C-peptide - the first time one was done was when I was expecting older daughter, nine years after diagnosis, and I think it revealed that I still had 40% active beta/c-pep: it’s be useful to know what the situation is now. I suspect the function that’s left is like traffic lights, sometimes red, occasionally amber and sometimes green.
There was recent(ish) research that showed that one in three of a large sample of T1s still produced some insulin.
 
Hi
Through no fault of my own I now live on my own and love.it. I did worry when my control was not good.the usual falling over hypo at night calling my family 2am to recover me! These days I have the libre and my control is so much.better as I check most of the day.and have not had a bad hypo needing anyone for over 2 years what a resilt!!! I feel much.more confident and safer and.know that I will not.hypo and if I do I will know immediately not when I am on the floor helpless!! One wird FREEDOM.
Type 1 for 48 years getting nearer to my gold medal!!!
Think I can congratulate myself am so proud I have my life back!!
Long live the libre especially on NHS soon (hope so)
 
I don't pay much attention to politics, but noticed that a few days ago a question was asked in the House of Lords about the libre postcode lottery.

The gist of the answer was that it's new technology and data is still being accumulated on effectiveness.

Doesn't really explain why some areas are fairly liberal with it and others aren't but there you go.

@Scott-C there is no logic to the libre lottery. Have you read Partha Ker's latest blog? I'll just add that I live in Kent so snowball's chance...
