We have a rooster up the road who lets us all know when dawn has arrived and Mrs Kitedoc hunts me off to bed when it is past my beauty sleep though I bargain that down by 6 hours or so.Nar, she has an private army of pigmies that sit on her computer waiting till everyone is gone then they type a "Night all...." and as they work shifts the first ones in the morning type "Morning...….." before the rest of us are up
Morning all.
Cafeteria now fixed, just, all things normal
I didn’t always have a record player, but never got rid of my vinyl!
Went to a yoga class this evening and went a bit low. So that was fun.

The instructor is one of my best mates, so she just sends me a “you ok?” eyebrow twitch. And if I need to suspend the pump and chug a few dextrose tabs, it’s easy enough to deal with. I have my phone by my mat with Spike in full screen mode so I can monitor it as I go (I use my watch to track the session), and just need to keep an eye on things out of the corner of my eye.Sorry to hear that Mel - I gave up on yoga as I went once and because I hadn't been to this class before the teacher kept coming over to walk me through stuff which left me feeling self conscious and also went hypo so ended up sitting out for a good chunk of the class, then got worried it would happen again so didn't go back, i've done yoga before t1 and loved it, so was quite disheartening. I am sure i'd try it again though with a CGM on me to try and catch any potential drops.
Yoga --> less stress = less adrenaline and cortisol --> lower BSLs ? i went hypo in the barbers chair once, it was so relaxing. Unlike in Tosca I did not get my throat cut , but received a second cup of coffee, this one well sugared !!I didn’t always have a record player, but never got rid of my vinyl!

I for one have experienced that.less stress = less adrenaline and cortisol --> lower BSLs ?
Sorry it happened. You must be fuming !! ? A judicious drink later !!??!!For future: can you keep a meter/strips and gluco -tabs in your pockets? The Abbots Optimum Neo is nice and flat and the strips are in individual foiled packets so nice 'n' flat too. And there are ketone strips as well, if needed.. I used to wear cargo pants with the extra pocket on the side of the leg.Buenos dias
@smc4761 it is annoying waking with a hypo. Unfortunately Libre has a tendency to under read when our BG is low or when we put pressure on it such as when lying down. Therefore I try to avoid treating a Libre hypo until I have confirmed it with a finger prick.
I am spending most of this week on an exhibition stand during the day and the nights in bars. Whilst on the stand, I have jeans pockets to keep my phone and business cards and my bag is in a cupboard.
Lunchtime are very busy so eating takes second place to talking to customers and giving them demos.
During lunch time today, I felt hypo (probably caused by last night's bar visits). I tested with my Libre and phone and it said my bg was low. I could not get to the cupboard to get to my bag containing my meter and GlucoTabs to confirm so ambled over to busy coffee station and helped myself to a couple of sachets of sugar. Unfortunately this did not help so, seeing an opening to the cupboard, I dived in to realise the cupboard had been rearranged and my bag was missing. At this point irrational hypo brain was trying to take control and customers were demanding a branded football and all my colleagues who could help were busy. Eventually I found my bag in another cupboard and walked away. This is a no no on at an exhibition during busy time but irrational hypo brain was not in the right state to explain.
Hypo is treated now, my diabetes paraphernalia is still laid out in front of me and one colleague has had the sense to check I am OK. Which I am.
Next step is to return to the stand (which is now quiet) and rationally explain why moving my bag is a very very bad idea.
I suspect it's unaccustomed exercise, tbh! First session I went high, second one I went low. Third one I turned the pump off for an hour before and was ok; this time I forgot. We shall see what happens next time!Yoga --> less stress = less adrenaline and cortisol --> lower BSLs ? i went hypo in the barbers chair once, it was so relaxing.

Are half units an option for adjustment?Afternoon everyone!
Going to see my DSN tonight which should be interesting as I think they’re going to tell me off for having too many lows....6 hypos in the last 24 hours and 15 in the last 7 days, 96 in the last 90 daysthink my basal needs adjusting but whenever I do this I end up shooting the other way to 15!
The frustrating life of a diabetic I guess, also I’m potentially thinking about having children in the next year or so (once the blood clot has gone!) so from my understanding my Hba1C needs to be as low as possible! Oh the joys!
