Sincerely hope you've had a hat on big fella. My head is feeling a bit tender at the moment. I always forget to protect my poor head until it's too late.:)
Bet you'll be happy to get the Saxo back on the road.

To set an example to the little un I wear a helmet :) but tomorrow it'll be doused in factor 40 for work, the Saxo? I'm holding fire a couple of days now whilst weighing up my options and seeing if I can find an engine locally, it's a 2 day job IF I can get the parts and engine crane to arrive at the same time, failing that I know where there's a cheap Kangoo needing a bit of welding for its mot, that could serve me well till the end of the year paying its way with skip trips and removals from mothers.

Well the weekend is rapidly drawing to a close.
Today's sugars have stayed in range, which has been good. Drifting close to going high at the moment , big Sunday lunch:banghead:
Dexcom is levelling off so hopefully I'll stay below 11.
Day 23 for dexcom so I need to keep a closer eye on it now.
One last trip into the garden, coffee and soak up the evening atmosphere.
Diabetes is a sh*t sometimes but life is bloody good a lot of the time, shame we tend to miss it, what with all the challenges we have to confront.
Let's all kick the ar*e of our diabetes tomorrow and show it we are the bosses.

I'm sure you'll make the right choice. Kangoo could serve a purpose.
Slap on the factor 40, take care on the bike and have a great week. Perfect numbers all the way;););).
 
Weather has stayed nice today - I like it like it has been yesterday and today but know it's going to go too hot this week. Ho hum.

As I had the F1 to enjoy this afternoon I've just taken an evening walk so it's not a totally lazy Sunday. Numbers have been on either edge of my target range but for the most part within.
 
This evening my glucose sat at 5.2 for 93 minutes :p 6 scans all the same so I finger pricked after the fifth to check as I've never seen that happen before, 4.9 now so 2 Weetabix for supper as I've the bolus tail coming along, the reason I'm so surprised at the flat line is that tea was a one off lazy treat and it's the break from routine that can often spike or drop me....

I've noticed I'm bruising a lot less using these new 4mm needles instead of the 12mm's, my T1 mate's recently changed to them too and likes them and he's approaching 40 years T1, I gave him half a box of GlucoRX ones and tore him the bd viva label from my new script so he went to the gps with what I gave him and asked for a change :p

Remember to stay hydrated if it's hot tomorrow!
 
5.9 waking, 2 good days on the trot are making me nervous :)

Shorts & t-shirt for work with lots of sun lotion, looking like a cowboy cycling with my ladders on my shoulder :)

Yee ha.....
 
Had an awful start yesterday and was camping for the first time in about 10 years.
Back on track by lunchtime.
Back to work and 7.2 at 5.30 this morning so I'm happy with this as I was still cleaning my car at 9pm.

Have a top day.....

Back in work this morning :( after a weeks camping in sunny Breen. Bloods were pretty good considering :) !
FBS was 7.8 at 7am and 6.1 at 9.30. Got the dietitian this afternoon with the dreaded HBA1C which I am hoping is going down. Will be on her case as well for the pump again as hypo unawareness is now starting to worry me a LOT
