Type 1'stars R Us

Good morning (just)
Back in work after a soggy week off! AND don't want to be here!!! Stressed out at the mo as nothing has been done.......BGs been in the 3s all morning even with a 20% temp basal...now on 0%. Streess lower my BGs so it seems. Tea with sugar now

@helensaramay so glad you cleared that up with the house "brushng" I was starting to get a bit confused (say nothing @Knikki )
@Mel dCP good luck with the art teaching today.....would be good to see the "art" they do lol

 

Afternoon friends, I’ve been up for a while. 6.2 this morning
Unfortunately I woke up during the early hours of the morning because a wisdom tooth decided it was a good time to go full force in pain. But diabetes was cool during the night.

 

Not been too hideous so far today, there’s only four lessons on a Monday here. A day of the dead project with y8 and photography with y9 - I was runner up young photographer of the year when I was their age, so it was fun. Helping out in Geography last lesson.

Pod got dislodged from my left leg so went a bit too high for my liking, until I could find the first aid room so I could change it. Every time I’ve put a pod on that leg, it’s failed. No idea why, it’s fine on the other one.

Back to 5.1 now

 

Thanks @DCUKMod - I had wondered the best time to arrive and know Monday is the busiest day because there's a weekend of lurgy to build up.
Unfortunately, I had a work commitment which meant I needed to get in and out as soon as possible.
And, I have no chance for the next couple of days. So I went as early as I could and was out before the pharmacy opened.

 

This is an interesting guy and I've heard lots of people drinking the stuff

Good afternoon. Day three of fast acting insulin. I've had two days of flatlining and this morning I injected my correction dose into my muscle by mistake and had my first hypo. 3.1 was the lowest in a matter of minutes. It was all over in 5 minutes later after I ate a sugar cube, but I did sweat profusely and my heart raced. At least I know I'm hypo aware. I still don't know how I managed it.

 

@ert - as you say, at least you know you're aware, and know what brought it on. That's great.

Home, lunch has been munched and I am sat with some rooibos tea just generally chilling. Life is good

 

I tried it and it’s quite nice and creamy. Still prefer my coffee black though.

 

@Mel dCP - yep, I'm a black coffee woman myself. Couldn't start my day without it! (Well, not and have my brain awake as well as my body ....)

 

I prefer my coffee down the sink ... or as far away as possible. And I am not gong to add butter to my herbal tea, instead.

 

Butter in coffee is just sooooo wrong.........

 

Hmm buttery oily coffee? Cream sounds better tbh.

 

Ain't gonna put butter in anything!

Coffee comes naked, so does rooibos tea and herbal tea!

 

My soul isn’t bitter enough for black coffee

 

me too but I'm a wimp and only drink decaff

 

Wtf is going on.
Pre breakfast 7.4. Had strawberrys and natural yoghurt. And toast and ruduced sugar jam.
6 units of Humalog.

Then pre lunch 10.9
Had wrap with salad and with 2 tomatoes on side.
Pomm crisps
Little yoghurt.
4 units Humalog

Just took reading its dropped drastically to 4.7.

No idea wats going on.

Got appointment with diabetes nurse on Wed.

 

Did you check out the carbs in the wrap? They're normally quite high, and then tomatoes have natural sugars too. Crisps are fairly carby and yoghurt can be.

Do you carb count yet? A wrap, tomatoes & crisps would come to about 70g carb. Not a problem but you might have different ratios at differing times of day - a lot of us do. I run four basal rates and I know the pumpers can have loads.

 

Hiii no I'm not counting carbs.
Just trying to manage with insulin. Diabetes nurse said I'm doing great so far.
Will ask questions on Wednesday.
