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.
 
So are you saying that the one who wears the pants in the family is on the outer on Sundays ??

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.
 
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.
PS Edward Burne Jones got better as he got older
 
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
 
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
