Type 1'stars R Us


Awww, that was so frustrating for you Karen, fingers crossed that all goes well in 12 weeks ( September)
 
Good afternoon y'all

@Robinredbreast congrats on getting this thread up and running. One of the reasons I keep coming back tbh
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Type 1'stars R Us thread
@karen8967 AAAArghhh!!!! really dissapointing ((HUGS))
Dont know whats happening with my BGs yesterday and today!! Was woken 3 times last night with Lo's....all corrected with jelly babies.....woke this morning to a 9.9 with a double arrow up....correction with breakfast, then 2 hours later alarms going off for a 2.3 confirmed with a finger prick. New Libre last night so could be a bit up and down, will see how it gets on for the next 24 hours
 
Happy Birthday to us all

 
Hello friends, I woke up a bit high 14.5 I'm not surprised after a two day fight with hypos. I'm seeing my consultant tomorrow, so I have stories to tell him and he would probably breathe down my neck. I'm still cleaning up vomit residue and even the wash didn't take the smell out. I hope everyone is doing okay!
 
@MeiChanski @karen8967 & @porl69 - have a hug, sounds like you’re having a pants time of it just now!

Not long home from a brand new school (to me), and an hour in the car park after work trying to sort out my student loan debacle. It seems I just have to send them a copy of a letter from the NHS confirming they’ll be paying my tuition fees. Amusingly their postcode ends in 9FU

So I’m spending the evening collating paperwork and compose strongly worded letter of complaint about their ineptitude. Like they’ll care... And when I’ve got off my high horse, I’ll be having a bash at installing the complicated version of Spike as opposed to the easy version I’m currently running. I need it’s extra features to run Loop, I understand. The app is built and on my phone, it’s all getting rather exciting! RileyLink should be here in a few weeks.

The massive FotF spike came back into range around 10am and I’ve been steady ever since, I’m still working out how much to give to deal with it. I get up one hour before I need to leave the house, potentially driving 60 miles. I’m trying to dose the instant I see the uptick on my graph, but if I don’t know how high it’s going to go, I don’t know how much to give. Some days I get it spot on, others... not so much. Any ideas, hive mind?
 


Try washing the floor etc with a strong solution of bicarb. That's the stuff that stops fridges' ponging (pop some in an egg cup). It helps a bit with smells. (Patch test first, just to be on the safe side)
 
I seemed to have picked up a stinking cold, so come on here and see if I can spread around a little.

Well rude not to share

So that's where my cold's come from! I've been blaming students all day! I have the sneezles, the wheezles, the achings. But, remarkably, reasonably in range bloods ever since last night's rage bolus.

Fortunately, no piano lessons tonight, no walk because it's raining and once I've dealt with two small tasks, I'm taking myself off for an early night to see if I can beat this cold into submission. Summer colds are always worse than winter ones with me.

Happy Birthday, us!!

Thank you, does it work on the under side of the sofa?

Tip the sofa over onto its back so that the bottom is sideways up, and then attack the offensive patch. First with the biological washing powder, hot water and a scrubbing brush, then if there's still any pong left, go with the bicarb.

Thank you Wutwo!
When it happened, I sprinkled salt on told of the patch because my scientific mind said it'll soak up the moisture and be antibacterial. I've vacuumed the salt up and viola, a patch is left to attack.

@Knikki hope you soon feel better. It’s very kind of you to offer to share your cold but no thanks - however if it were cake......

Lol, I thought people are supposed to share a little tenderness, not snottiness but sending you a get well ((((hug))))
 

Don't forget @kniiki likes cake, always room for some cake
Happy Hols Helen, be safe and have a great time
 
Tonight is one of those nights where I have to force myself to eat food. BG has come down to a nice level - 6.6, but I was in double figures for around 6-7 hours. Diabetes was tanking some sugar I'll let everyone know how my appointment goes tomorrow.
