Hi all, strange day yesterday as I had more hypos than I can remember ever having in one day, despite doing nothing extraordinary. Continued this morning though that may be due to a great evening with my closest friend during which a glass or three or four were consumed
@Mel dCP the poppies are fab; I'd never be allowed to buy silver jewellery as my daughter-in-law's a jeweller in training with a passion for silver. She loves working on commissions, so anything I want......lucky me!
 
Woke up to a 4.5 that Libre said was LO, last day of this sensor though, so I’ll forgive it. Fuel pump has blown on my car, thought it was on its way out last week when the fuse popped a couple of times. So that’s me off the road for the weekend, hey ho. Not like it’s raining or anything.

I had a school reunion around 5 years ago...The main question people who remembered me was "Are you still diabetic??". I think my facial expression convinced them that I was, indeed, still diabetic lol

Now-ex-father-in-law: “how’s the diabetes, any better yet?”
Me: “nope, still terminal”

I love fused glass, I make silver bugs with dichroic glass bodies.... you never know what you’re going to get!

 
Afternoon fellow colanders.

Just looking for a wee bit of advice and your thoughts as my morning BG are driving me mad. When I get up in morning around 7am my BG will be around 7, I can live with that. I take my Novoslow at ratio of 1:4, only have 5 spoonfuls of porridge a wee drop milk so around 40g of carbs. If my BG are slightly higher i will take a correction dose and my ratio for that is 1 unit brings me down by 1

I can check my BG around 2 hours later and by this time it will have peaked at around 12 maybe 13, so it has jumped by around 6 steps. Come lunchtime around 12.30, I will do a check and the Libre shows a steady fall after around 2/2.5 hours and it will be back at 7 or where i would expect it to be.

I have tried adjusting the tome I take Novoslow anything from 10 mins to 40 mins before I eat but makes no difference, still get these huge spkikes and this really only happens at breakfast. So possible Dawn P causing some of this

In one sense the fact that it drops back by lunchtime means i am not overly concerned

Any thoughts???

Love the photos you guys are posting you are all so creative

We didn't have the silver fittings (or a chance to make them). So they were a little flatter and squarer.
These were some of my attempts from the day

They’re stunning, love the blues!
Could it be that you’re just spectacularly sensitive to carbs first thing? What happens if you skip breakfast or have something like eggs? If I wake up low, like my 3 today, I only need one dextrose tab to bring it back up, whereas later in the day I’d need two or three. For lots of people, mornings need an awful lot more insulin.
 
@Robinredbreast sympathies re-restless leg syndrome. Some nights if too bad I actually take paracetamol. It makes me want to burst into tears. Had it since a teenager.
 
 
I am to be commended for my complete and utter professionalism whilst spending most of my working day nearer to 4 than is entirely comfortable in the active environment of my workplace. Today has been got through on copious amounts of Dextro, Full Fat cans of Coke and biting my tongue whilst dealing with the unasked for advice and gratuitous "support" from (Un)-Helpful Colleague.

Utterly Splendid Colleague (to whom I report in on these occasions, as it's his call as to if I'm safe to be near large machinery) just looked totally sympathetic, said "One of those days?" as I raided the fridge for the second can of Coke, and kept (Un)-Helpful Colleague occupied. Luckily, the biggest bit of machinery I was needed to work, and that was only to make sure the student operating him was doing it properly, was Henry The Hoover!
 
Love to, just give me a minute to swim from Australia !!!

To add to the thought, "Say it with flowers" perhaps "Say it in glass" - wonderful creations. Is vulcanology in your stars??
 
Morning all! I’m off out to hit the streets with a spot of light political campaigning, currently on a 4.4 so might have to turn the cyborg down a bit. Horribly early for a Saturday so am listening to a punk-folk band called Ferocious Dog to get me going. And industrial quantities of coffee

Libre is due to expire in two hours, but the MiaoMiao will read it for another 12 after that, so I can swap it over to the new one when I get home. That’s a very useful feature! Put the new one on last night and had my first bleeder, which quite amused the family. It feels a bit bruised, but am sure it will settle.

Hope you all have a lovely day
 
Morning all another night in the green which is nice.

There is an exhibition for Remembrance Day in the village we are going to trundle along to later. I suspect that nearly most of the men folk went, as in those days this was one of the many farming communities up and down the land that headed the call to arms in 1914.
 
Mornin y'all, 2 good nights followed by a sleeping 12 last night grrrr, and that was after a lower carb frittata & rice tea, went to bed on a 6.8 too so poppycock and fiddlesticks

My weekend starts at lunchtime....
