That's a big pic of a little toe. Here's wishing you well for a speedy recovery.
I will be standing vigil. Spammers & scammers are rife.
Would hate to see your thread blighted by such roguishness & sculduggery..
Yup, I'm involved...Yay, decided to release my inner tech-geek and just got a ticket for this - well, it would have been rude not to seeing as it's about a mile and a half away from my house:

I recall @tim2000s was involved in setting up the London ones, not sure if he's speaking at this one, but there's certainly a stellar line up - Partha Kar, NHS national lead on T1 and has really pushed the libre cause; Debbie Wake, who set up the online My Diabetes My Way where you can check all your historical records, available everywhere in Scotland and being piloted in some parts of England (she's a consultant at my hospital and didn't bat an eyelid at my 28 a1c); Fraser Gibb, who has reported on clinical outcomes from the Lothian area where any any T1 who wants libre gets it - a1cs safely dropping like a stone; and, all the way from America, Dana Lewis, one of the pioneers of artificial pancreas in a tic-tac box.
I'm sounding like a total fan-boy!
Good morning and a big friendly welcome to the thread. I love your avatar, I have a Bagpuss at home, my daughter bought it for me years ago. I am off to work today as well, can I ask what work you do ?
What happened to Hamilton???????
Mercedes Spokesperson/Spin Doctor said:We have discovered damage to Lewis' floor in the area just in front of the left-rear tyre. There is a chunk of the floor missing, but we are not 100 per cent sure why yet.
Morning,
My movie entertainment was the next in the James Bond series: License to Kill. It was the usual thrills of guns, drugs, jumping out of aeroplanes, fighting sharks and lots of pyrotechnics. Had to laugh at the health warning in the end credits. Nothing about guns or drugs or sky diving or sharks or fire ... well kind of fire - it was "smoking can kill"!
Good morning all...
Welcome to this unusual thread @WuTwo
I missed the thread on the weeken, I even messaged @Knikki to ask if he knew what happened. Soooo glad its back
@Knikki love the new Avatar, its going to take some getting used too
@slip that made me chuckle "He was WAY too slow". Glad to see Ferrari soo far back as well
@smc4761 it will take some getting used to!. I am a fiddler so I was messing with the settings from day 1. Sometimes I got it wrong but mostly (luckily got it correct lol. Defo a temp. reduction in basal is needed before your excercise
Thanks @porl69 I was thinking of changing slightly my overnight Basal as well, as just about every morning I have been fairly high. BUT of course bedtime BG was 6.1, fairly flat overnight waking to a BG 5.2 this morning. It annoys the life out of me that there is no pattern to this
But don't tell my DSN because hypo unawareness is the criteria under which I may get Libre.
Have you still got your Libre? Check your overnight lines.....I altered mine just before it started to rise. When I cam from the pump clinic I had a basal pattern with 6 different times on it....I now have 10 times on it. Got to sort a pattern for the weekend now (and remember to change it over lol)
We had a similar problem with our GPs pharmacist (didn’t know we had one until then) who decided to change the brand of one of my husbands heart pills to a generic one which was presumably cheaper. Luckily enough we knew that he had to have the same brand so, after some minor persuasion, she changed them back however what happened to the patients that she changed who didn’t know that their brand should not be changed?Grrr - GP surgery frustration.
I have recently become aware my surgery has a pharmacist. She does not issue drugs like the pharmacist in the chemist a few doors down from the surgery. In my experience, she seems to be responsible for the repeat prescriptions and the associated database. So, when the diabetes clinic at the hospital request a change to my prescriptions she, eventually, makes the changes and, when she notices I have not requested something for 12 months she removes my ability to do so.
The became a problem today when I went to check on line whether the Humalog prescription (which the diabetes clinic requested on 28th February) was available to collect. Not only was this not on the system but neither were any insulin pen supplies.
I had to phone the surgery and, by the sound of the person I spoke to, I was not the first person to have had problems with their repeat prescription.
It seems the surgery pharmacist has absolutely no idea about insulin requirements or the importance of making changes when teh hospital clinic requests it.
This is definitely a problem for me because I ran out of my backup NovoRapid supplies, have no Humalog so have to revery back to Fiasp which I know is unstable.
Rant over (for now)
