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.
 
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 !!
 
Is that Brean Down in Somerset?

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.
 
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
 
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
 
We question our wives to our peril !!
 
Have another sunny day at the funfair all: “Hmmmm, which rides shall I go on today?”. Hope we all get prizes on the hoopla.
