I just had an orange ice lolly! I haven't had one of those for so long. We got them the other day and husband had had a couple but I hadn't got round to it.
The weather is supposed to break here later today - in a huge way. I'm hoping for thunder, lightning and stair rod rain
I think Time in Range is being recognised now as a useful addition to HBA1c, for assessing control.
I saw recently on twitter a recommendation that being 70% in range where the range is 4 -10.0 is recommended, and seen as good. You should be able to calculate TIR using finger prick testing, presumably there's something out there can help, and someone knows what it is. @SueJB
You have to make the assumption, obviously, that between fingerprick testing your blood sugar isn't doing any really crazy things, but I think that's a good target to set yourself, that isn't too stressful.
I tried to find the original tweet I saw, by an HCP, but they're all too busy talking about pensions and there was too much to wade through to find it.
As you're probably there by now, RRB; did you try those biscuits?
I don't do breakd, cakes or biscuits, but sometimes, when we have folks drop by and do teas/coffees, it'd be nice to put something easy out that everyone can have. I just can't do the gluten.
I can't find any nutritional information on their website, except stating they are GF, vegan etc.
Mornin’ teabags, hope nobody flooded.
Ruddy T1’s not playing ball, reduce night time basal again I think. But will see what the diabeast does for the rest of the day. Slightly alarmingly pred text turned diabeast into DKA east but I’m reluctant to call my iPad Cassandra.
Off to the last day of mud pie making today before resuming in September.
Those biscuits sound too delicious, @Robinredbreast. Can you sample them too just to reassure the punters they’re good? Do you have to learn each spiel by heart for the products you promote?
Have a good day everyone.
i mentioned about what you said to the product rep and he will check online.
I had a little taster, I liked the double choc hazelnut best of all, as I don't like coconut. One biscuit is about 4 carbs in the sharing bags.
Post this in the carnivore corner and you’ll have them all drooling.Little update on Owie, Suus and the guinea pigs
Over the past year with my Libre and now nearly 6 months on the pump I am just about getting there.
Stupid thing is they won't even know that the guinea pigs fit way better in a LCHF diet than the rabbits and taste better too.Post this in the carnivore corner and you’ll have them all drooling.

Hi @Alison54321 oooh I do like those figures quoted above. Over the past year with my Libre and now nearly 6 months on the pump I am just about getting there. I have set a Libre range of 4.0--8.5 and I am in target about 65% of time. Downloaded the figures last night and for the range 4--10 I am in target 81% of time.
I think the Libre has made a huge difference to my control and I am now happy to make small adjustments with food and insulin now. The pump makes it even easier to have better control as well.
Dont get me wrong I still have times where i will go above BG of 13 but that is just a blip and I take the necessary steps to bring it back in range. As long as we keep generally to BG 4--10 most of the time we should all be happy and a big well done to those that do
One of the interesting things I'm finding with libre is that the longer I use it, the easier it's becoming to figure things out, whether that's a bolus call or dextrotab nudge up.
Into my third year with it now, last two have been with first the blucon transmitter, then miaomiao.
I read Stephen Ponder's Sugar Surfing when I first got libre, and a lot of the things he was saying didn't really make sense to start with, like how he could tell without looking at the cgm whether he was 5 or 8, or dropping to 5, but 3 years into it, it's making sense now.
I suppose it's just through having seen so many cgm traces in so many different situations for such a long time that making choices about a particular situation just sort of becomes more intuitive because of the past experiences, and the longer it is used, the easier it becomes.
I am just starting my 5th week with the LIbre and I still love it
I can still remember the first week I was using it - I was on a staycation holiday, been walking around town, decided to scan (for about the 50th time that day!) saw the downward arrow, dropping to low 4s, had some carbs, them watched it level out.
That one event really sold me on it - that would have been a hypo if I was on strips alone, but it wasn't.
Being able to change the future by seeing where bg is going makes such a difference in being able to co-operate with T1 instead of fighting it.
