Could we have a facepalm emoji please?
I hope you get better soon
 
Have had an uncomfortable couple of days with some kind of stomach bug though it hasn't really affected bg; I assume it was a bug as I wouldnt expect something I'd eaten to last so long. Who knows, just happy to be starting to feel better if a bit wiped out.
@helensaramay hope you feel better soon,seems to have been going on a long time.
@Mel dCP your zip wire looked awesome, am envious!
 
Hugs

General hugfest! Yayayay - share the bugs, weaken the strain!
 
@WuTwo
Just out of interest, have you found a vegan white chocolate that is tasty available in supermarkets? I haven't been able to find a place locally that sells the white chocolate vego one. This girl loves white chocolate, heheheh.
 
Well, I didn’t get any work today, which has come as a bit of a relief, tbh. As much as I could do with the money, I also need to recover from the weekend - back is still a bit sore.

@WuTwo & @MeiChanski - came across a vegan health food shop called “Vegonia” in Porthmadog, North Wales yesterday, so stocked up on a few bits - nooch, aminos and ginger kombucha. Didn’t notice any white chocolate, because it’s vile

Hugs for everyone who could do with one
 
rage basaling - Ha Love it!

Yesterday I was sailing along quiet nicely, and then had lasagne for tea/dinner/supper.........one day I will get it just right! the good news is I didn't over treat the low so went to bed on a good 6.6 only to wake on a 3.4
 
I loveeeee nooooch, sprinkle that baby on everything.

No. And I think it would be a gross out for me - too sweet. I like very dark, very not sweet chocolate. But if I do come across one I'll let you know.
 
Afternoon,
Feel as though I've been a bit of a misery guts recently sorry everyone. Anyway, gave myself a kick and made some veg dip for lunch to go with the salad. Less than 10g and super yum
Quick test afterwards 2.7!!
Stuff face with 2 M&S super lush biscuits now riding high at 14.7
Do I correct and face another potential hypo?
So much for trying to get to the positive me. Does it ever normalise? Feel like pants! Fed up and just don't know how you guys have dealt with this for so many years. Respect
 
@WuTwo Thank you! I guess you are like my bf, he doesn’t like chocolate that is sweet so he enjoys dark chocolate. I’m a bit of a sweet tooth

@SueJB Sending you hugs! You could try the dextrose tabs and make a note how many 2-3 tabs raise you by, or see how many levels 10g of fast acting carbs raise you by. I did something similar three nights ago, but I’ve tamed it since. I hope you feel better soon
 
@SueJB, oh yes, it’s an utter pita when good resolutions lead to a fall, but don’t despair. Helen’s advice is what I’d give too, and even then there are occasions when the usual correction dose of carb or insulin doesn’t behave quite as it’s expected to. It just takes a little longer to get it right.
Have you got a Libre yet? It’s great for tracking the ups and downs and seeing the effects of eating and dosing.
Hope the BG learns how to follow commands by the end of the afternoon.
 
Could I say no two meals are the same, I had the same food this morning and spiked really badly. Now I had it again and I’m not spiking but going in the opposite direction.
