Hi @Scott-C have to agree with your post and my own experience of, in our area, the ADAPT course. I was also diabetic for 37 years before going on course and had pretty much not bothered a great deal with. The course has toatlly fired me up, and by attending the course this meant I met criteria for Libre which has also fired me up.
If you get a chance to go on this course I can recommend it no matter what stage you are at in your type 1 life
I had a genuinely heartwarming chat with an office colleague yesterday.
She's T1 too, from the same generation as me where we were just taught to think about those old fashioned Carbohydrate Exchanges and Digestive biscuits and that was about it, none of this fancy pre-bolusing or anything like that.
We're in different departments on different floors, so we rarely see each other, but I bumped into her yesterday in passing, and she said she'd done the DAFNE course a week or two back and absolutely loved it!
She was totally fired up about it, really enthusiastic about all the new things she'd learned, how she'd realised the importance of basal testing, getting carb counting a lot sharper, not overtreating hypos and so on, and rethinking things she'd been doing for years.
I think there's a lot of us from that generation when things were more basic, we were more or less left to fend for ourselves, and we sort of missed the newer techniques coming in.
Having gotten a lot out of DAFNE myself a couple of years ago, it was really good seeing how engaged she felt about it, like a new chapter in T1 life had just opened!
What do ya mean? It's the longest here down under ??I am celebrating the shortest day of the year with the shortest working day - 2.30 p.m. finish rather than 3.00 p.m. as is usual for Friday! The main advantage of being one of the early starters at Main Paid Workplace is that I finish earlier on two days a week, 3.00 p.m rather than 4.00 p.m., which means those days have become chores/shopping evenings.
Then, I'm celebrating the early get out with the fact we get paid today rather than on the last working day of the month by going and tackling the shopping so I don't have to shop again until about next Thursday-ish.
Loove the Kite Runner. Mainly the kite battles etc but it is a powerful story !!!Morning all. It's the shortest day today. I've got 7hrs 47mins starting at 8.09 to enjoy Friday and the winter solstice but not sure where to start.
Madam revealed 5.3, very happy as I had 5 frites for supper along with some caraway, beetroot and horseradish. Might start reading the Kite Runner
If only groundhog days occurred with brilliantly normal in-range BSLs !!!Again, ground hog day.........late on parade, a low mid morning, busy busy! However once things have settled here and everything has been checked to be working for a conference in the new year I'm off to our teams work christmas lunch and might not be back.......well that's the intention unless I get called back............if my phone has any charge left
BGLs have been reasonably well behaved.
Yep, to Friday when I can get a haircut and groom !!
What do ya mean? It's the longest here down under ??
And to rush out and find the 'bleeder' is just a razor-shaving graze would be a real disappointment !!Might beBut mostly I want to get my first cardiac arrest under my belt, before I forget how to do it!
May the anti-bugs work quickly rather than taking the 'chemist union-regulation' 36 to 48 hours to kick in.Evening! Got mahoosive antibiotics from the doc, she said apparently there is some gack on my left lung and I was right to have gone. She asked if I had ketones - they were at 1.1 this morning so I said so - slight raise of eyebrow until I said I ate minimal carb so that’s normal for me. She said that I was clearly doing something right, looking at my HbA1cBG back in range for about the first time today, been 7s and 8s until now
Did five hours on call as a first responder this afternoon, but no business for us today. So I did some crochet in the car...
