Oh the joys of T1D lol [/QUOTE]

Yo yo syndrome
Awful isn’t it
 

Well the fitters left at 4pm and the result is way better than I expected

I’m ripped up all the carpet and lino in preparation left it outside and they very kindly took it away with them
 
Not where I am now, but I have had it, and know a few people with it, it works well, and looks good. You can get some nice rugs to put on it, they're much easier to replace, if you get bored with the colour, or the pattern, than a carpet.

Have ordered a rug which will come in a few days time hopefully it will finish off the living room
 
Snow is forecast for tomorrow night and Saturday morning how horrendous

We’re driving down to Liverpool early Saturday morning so I hope to heaven that the roads are clear of the menacing white stuff
 
Toe is ok, but badly bruised, pulses and sensitivity scored top marks, which is a big improvement on last time. I can expect the nail to drop off though, so that’s something to look forward to.

The evening was quite exciting! We had our first call, to an elderly gent who collapsed at his sister's funeral wake, he was conscious but in a fair bit of chest pain, so we were primed for him to keel over. Luckily he improved, we were with him for a couple of hours before the van got there, taking obs and keeping him comfortable. Not a bad job for my first shout. Home now with a lap full of cats, a nice cup of tea, and a 5.8mmol BG
 
Frustrated that after applying for a provisional license I got a letter back to say I have to go to my local doctors for a medical check not a clue as to why and to add insult to injury you also have to pay for this as it isn't covered by NHS, I understand why it isn't but also feel it should be covered by the DVLA at the very least as they are the ones who want me to go for it, I didn't choose to!!!
 
You’ve eased distress Mel, wonderful, and good news about your duffed up toe!
Thank you for the blessing Cumbs. The floor, and the kind laminate layers sound lovely.
And a steadier day tomorrow please for yo-yo people everywhere. I’ve got back to ‘normal’, my normal, now and have given all my cells a talking to. Just hope they won’t do a toddler sulk.
 
It's the first I've heard of this happening. Maybe it's a new procedure. If it was me, I would contact my DSN to see if she knew what this is all about. Usually they hear about changes in regulations before most of us.
 
variety is the spice of life. As T1Ds we try to leaven that spice with some consistency, our hedge against chaos !!
 
Hmmm, a good couple of blood sugar days, a definite improvement having upped Tresiba to 18u, for a while I struggled with it, house cleared with the last tip run done, I got the washer out without any leaks and it lasted but minutes afore a guy pulled up in an estate car and got it in the back, keys in at estate agents and the house sold tomorrow, or one hopes so anyway...
I'm consistently inconsistent, but it keeps me on my toes, and talking toes I lost a toe nail once, gym accident where I dropped a 20kg plate right on my big toe from the squat rack, it swelled up huge and I was given antibiotics, eventually it went down and the nail dropped off and regrew, worrying T1 times are foot injuries
 
But as a young'un, the joy of sliding over polished floors in my socks !!
 

Ooh crumbs sounds horrific

I lost a big toe nail as a kid and your post has reminded me how squeamish it all was
