That is two references to rice in the last three posts.
Be warned it won’t be long until someone suggests using cauliflower rice as an alternative :***:

Or somebody makes a slip ? Got another one in for you @slip!!

Gonna throw in a bonus morning greeting for those who'll be rising in a few hours

Lol, Mel, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to either charm Marek with your purple hair, or threaten him with your mahoosive boots into spilling the beans on how far they've got!

By the way, we're going to have to restart the #competitiveflatlining competition, for no other reason that I've already won it with this little number.

Had been playing around with lantus for a while, the same units were dipping me one night, rising me the next, then ended up with this one and it's kinda settled into a happy zone.

Bg tests confirms it. Lantus dosing info says weight in kilos divided by 5, which would put me at around 14, but that wasn't holding, but 17 seems to do the trick.

I wonder whether the cold weather is making my body work harder to keep warm, pushing out more stored glycogen for that purpose, so needs more basal to manage it.

Anyhoo, it's a lovely overnight flat line, so I've either got my basal right or my cgm is broken..

Hi @Scott-C, Nah, there is a very slight variation in the flatline - not broken - It is a a fantastic result.
In a way sleep is probably the most relaxed state there is but the insulin dose and action has to be pretty perfect also.
Maybe CGM could be an indicator for nightmares also, some blips in the chart would be as the signals.

Thank you @db89, I like the slow thinkers - still waters run deep. Such as he/she need no pants !!

Hi guys, I am so excited I have received this letter today from my hospital and I am going on a Libre course in June. I can't believe it, after 30 years, I am actually going to try one out

Great news @Robinredbreast as a T2 luckily enough to be diet controlled from reading posts here I know that this will be an important tool in your armoury to control and monitor your diabetes - bet you can’t wait xx

Ooh first on parade. Morning!
Brilliant flatline @Scott-C Just did that same calculation you mentioned On Toujeo. Says I should be on 11 and am on 10 so not far out. Have a similar problem with night time readings. Can have a few really good ones then it all goes pear shaped. Either going up or going the other way. As I rarely eat anything after 5pm I know it’s not affected by food or bolus. Exercise does have some impact but unfortunately not consistently. Which is not helpful. Can also have excessive DP for 3/4 weeks and then it disappears. It makes settling on a regime difficult. After getting upset and frustrated I just accept and adjust when needed. I also think the cold and dark has an impact. As we move into spring I will probably be able to reduce basal down to 9.

Morning all (just trying to beat @karen8967 )

 

[karen8967]

Good morning everyone enjoy whats left of your weekend .two little ninjas coming in about an hour so busy day for me

 

[Daphne917]

Well, considerer me another educated student. Online teaching as well. Had to google it and must admit I’ll not be ordering from amazon this week.
Perhaps konjac rice pudding??????

I wouldn’t bother - tried it, and the noodles, and it took me longer to rinse and cook them than to decide they definitely weren’t for me - same as ‘coconut porridge’ which I’m sure you could use for wallpaper paste (perhaps I cooked it wrong!!!). I tend to stick to the real thing these days - if I have them I cook, cool and reheat and it doesn’t affect my BS too much or, if I have any lurking in the fridge, I have courgetti or sliced courgettes with my bolognese sauce.

The Libre - so unobtrusive, you don't even know you're wearing it. That'll be why I just knocked mine off whilst showering then! Arrrrgh!

Morning all, not wearing pants yet (10.50) but thinking I ought to get my a*** into gear. Need to fill the feeders and get on with the Big Garden Birdwatch. It's blowy and the windows are howling. My nose is still not right but BG was in the 5s so that's not to be sniffed at.

Put the replacement medtrum sensor on yesterday and tested it to the max by having a take away curry last night. Not a bad effort! Before calibrating this morning it was saying 6.0, blood was 6.1 and this is last nights graph:

Afternoon guys, just popped in to say hi, my daughter, SIL and baby granddaughter are coming round very soon and later on my other daughter's boyfriend will be joining us for roast dinner. He doesn't like a lot of foods, but he does like chicken and roast potatoes, so that a good start, bless him, he is a lovely lad

 

[LooperCat]

Afternoon all, last on parade again. Feeling distinctly less than spectacular due to slightly too much red wine. Neurofen and coffee for brunch, so considering a duck egg and manchego omelette to see me through my first responder shift later. Also, it’s snowing. Several high alarms during the night, so no flatline here, @Scott-C

 

[Knikki]

Not as last on parade as me

Chinese sit-down last night Mrs Knikki's dads birthday celebration all going well till 3:15am when woke up felling :***: and wanting to get rid of the coffee was at 13.2 going North East ~sigh~ correction dose woke around 7.5 so not bad

 

[kitedoc]
