Good on you @Mel dCP , the tinker sounds like he really needs a diabuddy. And probably a pump too. I wonder what his absorption of food is like.? From what I have read about CF they usually need to take coated tablets containing digestive enzymes but mainly for digesting protein and fat. And are susceptible to recurring lung infections.
In the forum- epilepsy.com, Dilantin and high blood sugars - some with diabetics noted high BSLs when taking the anti-convulsant Dilantin and in EJMO 2018 2 (3) 186-187 author Ozer - The effect of Levetiracetam on Insulin/Glucose level a letter to editor about a case where this anti-epileptic medication (Levetiracetam) caused repeated hypos in a T1D patient.
@Knikki . Well spotted on the @helensaramay rant. She is teasing us again. It’s usually homemade culinary delights .
As an aside. Long story short we had chip butties for dinner tonight. Now I know how this pans out, no matter how hard I try.
But here’s the thing, 3 hrs later and Dexcom is saying 7.4.....naaaaaahhhhhh. Gut feeling this isn’t right. Finger prick with my usual guess whilst waiting proved otherwise. Guess 11.3 actual meter 11.7.
Pleased and annoyed in equal amounts. Pleased I still know me better than the Dexcom does. Annoyed that Dexcom is so far out. Will after to see how it reads over the next day or so.
Anyway the chip butties were delicious
Just managed to get my back up tester, 3.3! So definitely low now and the libre was showing 3.4 so pretty accurate!
Go for it @helesaramay ! You have good thoughts, ideas and a determination to get things right or better. I am all ears, eyes , heart and with undivided attention. And sussing things out is about introspection. Ranting is about expression. A great friend, now deceased, gave me the following advice (which I fail to follow at times) Use the softer word or expression - not 'cut' costs but 'defray' them, speak 'with' rather than 'to', avoid overuse of 'I' and try to eliminate the word 'the' wherever possible. Finally, keep the first sentence of writing short and ensure the first sentence of each paragraph is shortish.I think I've got spinning and diabetes with a pump sussed. I've done it three times this week (I am not obsessed, I am not obsessed, I am not obsessed, ...), my end BG reading has been within 1 mmol/l of my start BG and my afternoon BG (a couple of hours after post-spin lunch) has also been good.
One of the advantages of not Libring at the moment is I do not get to see what my BG is doing between finger pricks . It may be soaring and and then plummeting (or the other way around). Probably (hopefully) not and I feel when trying to suss insulin regimes, I need to set myself some parameters and make my targets more aggressive over time.
I plan to Libre up again in a couple of weeks time when I have two days at a conference where my usual testing, exercising and eating regime will be put on hold. After the conference, I will have 9 for 10 days to tweak my spin regime.
Apart from that, I am considering how to put a positive (or at least constructive) spin on a rant that is building up in my head.
I feel there are some lessons which could be learnt and knowledge that could be shared for many people's benefit (including mine) and don't want my thoughts to be seen as criticism.
I think it still has a few days of contemplation before it is ready to share with the world.
Hi @Knikki, not surprised about the zero carbs in Aero chockie, it has a lotta air bubbles in it.@helensaramay A rant? And then runs off?
That will never do
Evening all almost satisfied my chocolate craving with Chocolate Aero Mousse (note that as it has 4 'o' in it, it's therefore zero carb, according to the gospel of @therower)and a small packet of Cadburys Buttons, might still have to hit the Lindor stuff in a minute.
Other than that sensor change so that's going to be interesting for next few hours
Could he be underweight, slim and doing some injections into the muscle??That’s some useful info, thank you. Yesterday he dropped from the twenties to the twos in less than half an hour, poor lad. Must have felt terrible.
Very quiet CFR shift today. We decided to log off and three and the siren went off at 1459. Ambulance beat us to it, so we went to Asda instead. Home now. Sugars been running a little low, and then I realised I hadn’t set my pump to “busy” from “lazy”.
Hope you’re all having a good Friday

the wonders of sleep @Shellback. in Oz banter could be called 'chin-wagging 'and could slide over into the American,' shooting the breeze'.No worries @Shellback. I am a retired saw bones and have seen a few tragic cases in my time.
Aussie banter is having a yarn or having a yak, or chewing the fat. I cannot think of an exact word equivalent but if it pops into my head I shall let you know !!
remember that magnetic phone holder I mentioned fitting to the A pillar in my van?
The slim metal plate inside the phone case, holding the phone in place also blocks the NFC signal. (Or makes scanning process unstable.) I had to drop the plate down a few millimetres so as not to obscure the scanner.
I thought I'd bought a dud, until I took the phone out the case..
