Good morning y'all 4.4 when I woke up late just then, I do hate rushing with a passion but anyway.

Another funeral mid morning, a 71 year old t2 who didn't follow a low carb diet, well, no diet at all as his missus is a kebab shop receptionist, taught me some car mechanics in my youth and his step son's a good friend, definitely no alcohol afterwards tho

Morning everyone,

Woke with a blood sugar somewhere in the 5s, so happy with that. Not much to say, I'm just posting this, really, because I have one of those undeletable comments, that I started writing but never posted, in my reply box, and this is the only way to get rid of it.

Hope everyone has a good day.

@kev-w - that's a sad story, hope the funeral goes ok.

morning guys. woke on a 7,5 which is good. Son is popping round soon, teenager is coming home in her lunch break and my daughter who just got married is popping round to see me with new baby granddaughter Cleo <3

 

[Robinredbreast]

kev ive recently started on tresiba best change i ever made

Very early days for me on Tresbia (Tuesday), what with recovering and not eating very much, but, I am hoping it will really be helpful for me, awoke on 7.5.

Morning all, was 9 something last night, 8 something this morning - nothing to write home about really. Dentist this afternoon to look forward to - stage 2 of 3, no doubt I'll be dribbling later! And I'm getting fed up of being in constant pain with my back/sciatic issues, it is quite literally a PITA.

and my daughter who just got married is popping round to see me with new baby granddaughter Cleo

Flipping eck that was quick!

Flipping eck that was quick!

Baby first, then married, lol, but I missed the wedding..........

I was on metformin slow release a few years ago - let’s just say the polite phrase “digestive distress” didn’t quite cover it. I still keep a library in my bathroom from those days of spending so much time in there! It’s called the “Bog-leaian Library”...

That is logic for you !!

 

[kitedoc]

I asked about Fiasp at my last appointment, but they said to only change one at a time, and we’d look into it at my next appointment, which is in September. It’s definitely on my list of things to discuss!

Caution reigns !!

Well, I’m down to 8.9mmol. Still appalling compared to what I’ve got used to, but I’ll take single figures as a win this week! 11 shots so far today, an unheard of 17.5u NovoSluggish...

In other news, some renovation work on my local Asda in Tonypandy is yielding some good new products I’ve only seen in Cardiff branches. Sugar free sweet chilli sauce for one! Also vegan Quorn ham, which I love. I spent about 20 minutes reading the labels on the three hundred different varieties of peanut butter, and found one that’s only 4.6% carb, about half to a third of most of the others.

Reading 300 labels of peanut buyer is a good testament to your patience !!

Had what I feel is bad news today... tried to book onto the DAFNE course only to be told I can't do it because I'll have started on a pump by then. I understand it's more geared towards basal bolus but I'm not getting CGM so most of the carb counting stuff will apply. When I told them I've had no training whatsoever in carb counting they offered me a 2 hour session on it... not really the same thing. Not sure how other people feel about DAFNE but it was really pushed as something I should do and now I feel I'm going to miss out on what people said was essential

In Oz, DAFNE is optional. I never had it suggested by perhaps being on insulin for 45 yeras at the time they just assumed I would know. (Ha !). It was easy to pick up. Please do not sweat the small stuff !!

 

[kitedoc]

i changed from lantus to tresiba and apidra to fiasp within a week of eachother i do hope that when you change it works mel

What a juggler !!

Just been reading about the man who 'cued' himself of Type 1 diabetes with a rare gene and long distance running, David Darkes, diagnosed 8 years. Have you read it ?

I think he had a very rare form which may not be strictly T1D but still ??

 

[kitedoc]

Hypo yesterday trying to manage going to a movie which always puts the BSLs up. Darn gRRRRR.
Today quiet day with some exercise. Stubbornness during hypos is not a blessing!
The BBC's "And Then There Were None" is a bottler !!

He is now on this forum https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/dan-darkes-type-1-diabetes-reversal.153777/
