Come on Helen, tell us what you said to her!

Let me take you back (cue wobbly lines on the screen)
On 27th February, I visited the diabetes team and they recommended I tried Humalog. They wrote a letter to my surgery to prescribe it on 28th February.
I regularly checked to see if this prescription was available over the next 2 weeks.
On 18th March, when I checked online (again), I noticed all my pen prescription items had been removed so I phone the surgery to complain. They were apologetic, said exactly the same items would be returned to database for me to request when I next needed and the Humalog would be available the next day. They clarified I definitely did not want the pen items prescribed.
On 19th March, the surgery pharmacist phoned to ask what was it she needed to do. I went through it all again. Once again, I emphasised I only needed the Humalog to be prescribed and nothing more. She guaranteed 4 vials of Humalog would be available from the dispensing pharmacy the next day.
(Wobbly lines to indicate returning to present day).
I have just returned from the dispensing pharmacist (I gave the surgery an extra day to sort themselves out or phone me if they still did not understand). Upon request for my prescription, the pharmacist presented me with Glucagon, pen needles, Lantus cartridges, NovoRapid cartridges and 5 vials of Humalog.
Do you ever think no one is listening to you because they have a bottomless bucket of money?
Meanwhile, the Fiasp I was forced to return to whilst I waited has been behaving itself perfectly.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Heavy on the Jalapenos..... Extra hot!@helensaramay Just reading another thread you comment on and the line "try out a new sport (last one was flying trapeze)"
Wowthat avatar of Kim Possible really does suite you
Evening, just mooching, and finally won this morning battle of the "oh hell Im low and need to eat the fridge" didn't help that most of this whizzy, magic tech was between 2 to 3 points out, but then again if it was right all the time it would be A) boring B) not give me or anyone else something to moan about.
Oh and it was Devils Food tonight:-
You're definitely not the only one. I am quite strong-willed (or so I like to think), but good old fish and chips is one thing I really miss on keto, so I'm going to have some come my birthday in a month's time.
Mmmmmmm fish & chips and a butty AND then chocolate cake for afters.....drooling here

Good evening everyone.
Thank you for all today’s posts, it gives me a good bit of reading at this time of day. It’s the first chance I get to log in on workdays.
Trials, tribulations, successes, highs, lows, frustrations and Wispa.
@Cumberland . I’m certain Wispa could have been the key to Agnetha’s heart..
A rollercoaster day for me, couldn’t quite get the balance right.
But as they say “ diabetes is like a rollercoaster, it has ups and downs, whether you choose to scream or just enjoy the ride is up to you. “
It is sad we’ve lost some regular posters, but we’ve already got some new posters joining in. Life goes on.

Are you surprised? There’s video evidence of my flying trapeze escapades.
It was great fun and a tad scary but amazingly my BG went low.
Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to repeat the “experiment”.
