Morning all :)

l’ve had a busy/stressful few days at work and my BG levels over the last few days reflect that. Grrr

Another day today. Woke on 2.9- according to libre I have been low most of the night. *Might* have just emptied the entire content of the kitchen cupboards to treat this hypo. Serious munchies.

Just waiting for the aftermath of this hypo, with my added (usual) morning rise to kick in

Hope everyone has a good day.

Do you need locks on particular kitchen cupboards.? One remedy for the fridge was , according to someone trying to lose weight, but the concept is similar, to put a toy snake on the fridge shel at eye level. Best Wishes with dealing with any rebound !!
 
After consuming many carby sinful calories last night watching the match I floated at 12 all night according to the Libre. I could have told you that without it judging by the way I just want to drink a gallon of water! Ugh!

Morning y'all, 4.1 for me so I'll get both slices of bread with my eggs after porridge :) I swapped last night for Friday with the young un so I've got her Friday/Saturday night instead and I've found car with a power steering fluid leak, hopefully it's the cheapy I've been looking for :)

We're coming home :p

You can ‘borrow’ the young grass snake that’s taken up residence in our pond. I’m trying not to get fond of it as it’ll eventually eat all the frogs.
 
Hope your car find’s a goodun kev, do you know how to mend the power steering? Remember the days before power steering was introduced - good for well-toned arms.

:) The car it's replacing has no power steering, the leak's from either the pump or a pipe and a mate of mine will grab me the bits from a local scrapyard on Saturday when he goes.

Something I've found whilst using the Libre is my finger tips no longer have all the dots from fingerpricking showing up when I've oil on my hands :)

Don't get me started on grandkids :). My granddaughter, almost 7, is at full speed with my diabetes. She is always ready to inform anyone who needs to know about why I don't eat certain foods. Ask why I'm injecting before a meal and be prepared for everything you need to know about diabetes. She takes every little bit of information in, stores it and then uses it when needs be.
I absolutely idolise her. She creates a light like no one else can.:):):)

My daughter once told an entire bus load of passengers that I was not sharing her sweets because of being diabetic.

Well does the power steering need repair ? probably yes, unless it allows extra munchies !!
 
Morning all! Had a steady night in the green zone according to blood calibrated Spike, and just above it according to the non-calibratable Libre scanner and app. Still got the slightly off sensor running, as I’m trying to eke it out as long as possible, but only because I can calibrate it. Currently being clobbered by dawn rise, so have injected twice for that, just after 0430 when my Spike Alarm went off, and again just now. It’s set to shout at me when I hit 7mmol.

Trip to Costco today...

I remember not having power steering, my old Land Rover was pretty hefty to manoeuvre at low speed. Had a 3.5 Rover V8 under the bonnet, absolutely loved it...
 
Good mornin all. Woke with a dead straight line this morning "LO" grrrr. Changed the sensor last night so was expecting a bit of difference. Finger prick was at 4. So will be finger pricking and scanning today
Power steering issues at the moment seem to be a BIG problem. We had a C3 Picasso in the garage last week....power steering pump gone...WOW how expensive to repair....power steering rack and pump all in one
