Ha ! @Alison54321, A friend of mine has a real Jaguar car, so I brag that I have a jaguar also ! He has upped the ante by purchasing a Stag (Trimph) so .....

My philosophy about TID is with kite flying - balance, adaption to the conditions, sometimes tangles occur, accomplishment is optional but desirable, be kind to oneself and others, live and let live - to fly another day. and never your head get too big - otherwise you are hatless and will get burnt !!

It's an "it", keeping it on your bed is a good idea, it can access your dreams easier.

I have a big owl on my bed. I had a dream in which a big fat cuddly owl flew into my arms, although this isn't really normal owl behaviour, I then had to find one. I've been hunting high blood sugars in the night since then, with my Freestyle Libre, so maybe that is owl like behaviour.

That's an interesting philosophy. With T1D there is no rest, the best of blood sugars can change rapidly, and become the worst, and so you're right, you can't get big headed, and think you've worked it all out.

But it has taken 51 years to get there !!! Sometimes a kite can be stubborn and not fly the way it was designed until some 'emotionally corrective situations' have occurred which trigger a much needed dash of commonsense!!!
Another 'saying' about kite-flying is : 'If all else should tail, add a wacking big tail" - seeking and finding some stability is key !!!

That sounds good. I think I might trust my cuddly owl to do the hunting for me, and get more sleep.

Sweet dreams

 

[kitedoc]

It is 11.30 pm in Adelaide, Australia and I desperately need my beauty sleep, so Good Night all from here Down Under !!

Thought for the day: The best way to a man's money is to look in the washing machine !!

 

[Cumberland]

Well my day so far

It can only get better from here on in

Thats how I feel sometimes up and down

 

[kitedoc]

Sweet dreams

G'night - 11.30 pm - BSLs stable, just past the Full Moon, situation normal, sanity level - nominally satisfactory.(a work in progress) !!

Back in work this morning after a weeks camping in sunny Breen. Bloods were pretty good considering !
FBS was 7.8 at 7am and 6.1 at 9.30. Got the dietitian this afternoon with the dreaded HBA1C which I am hoping is going down. Will be on her case as well for the pump again as hypo unawareness is now starting to worry me a LOT

Is that Brean Down in Somerset?

 

[Circuspony]

Chocolate isn't the ideal remedy for hypos anyway, jelly babies are a lot of peoples 'go to' or glucotabs as they are not so tempting.

Always got the haribos around. Going off them now they are getting more like medicine than a treat. Perhaps I should ask the GP to add them to my prescription.

But if I can feel myself heading low then chocolate is perfect. Heads off the hypo but the fat slows down the sugar absorption so no silly rise.

Odd day today. Think it's the heat. Splitting headache but sugars been between 4-9 so can't blame it on that for once.

 

[Diakat]

Lie in. Gym. Fete. Sofa. Oddly in range all day.

 

[therower]

No lie in, no gym, fate ( who knows? ), deck chair. Also in range. I do have quite a big range though.
Let's see what tomorrow brings apart from the sunshine .

I was apparently 1.7 at one point today, I knew I was low but no where near that, even the wife said I wasn’t that low and she annoyingly can pickup on a low just by the way I talk, how she does that I’ll never know I can never get a word in edgewise!

Had a good day not doing much!

Night all take care

 

[Juicyj]

Another bouncy day for me too - woke low then went shopping at lunchtime went low again so stuffed some carbs down followed by ice cream and paddle boarding late afternoon wearing pump for the first time in water, now hovering around 4.3 so staying up for a while until i’m above 6 - hoping the new basal adjustment will fend off any night time hypos, fingers crossed ! Night all

 

[karen8967]

Goodnight everyone sleep well

That is a might interesting bent paper clip !!

We question our wives to our peril !!

 

[Knikki]

Well after yesterday's "mega start" I'm now running at 3.6, which I guess is technically hypo land but I'm happy easily solved.

Have a fun day people.

 

[Fairygodmother]

Have another sunny day at the funfair all: “Hmmmm, which rides shall I go on today?”. Hope we all get prizes on the hoopla.
