I guess I'm spoilt rotten with Libre. I just found out it's change day today (4 hours left on current sensor) and I forgot to shoot in a new one yesterday.
Let's see how long I can keep myself from activating this one...
 
Garden won and it's now looking tidy enough to keep the unofficial Neighbourhood Watch off my case (Being the only one my end of the road with a garden who is under 65, maybe 70?, in excellent health and in full-time employment, I do get some leeway from them once they realised that I do my best with a job I hate.)

Henry the Hoover is about to emerge from the cupboard for a half an hour's whizz around before lunch, then I'm off to spend my pay rise.

Steroids can raise blood sugars, @SueJB, so don’t panic if you see them go up.
I suppose in the old days we didn’t know there’d be smaller, finer needles, pumps that didn’t require Olympic levels of strength to carry around and ways of testing blood and interstitial sugars that didn’t mean regularly stabbing our selves so we were generally unfazed. Like Knikki, I didn’t bother with the big old finger pricked machine, just aim and and stabbed.

Thanks for the info @Fairygodmother I'm chilling about it and sort of thought BG might have a little climb

@SueJB fairgodmother beat me to it, don't be surprised if your BGs are high for 'no apparent reason' after the steroid injection! One of the reasons I didn't go through with it a few years ago and my shoulder had started to ease by the time my GP said about the injection anyway.

Thanks @slip for the reassurance, not going to check til lunch time And when it was up, it was up and when it was down it was down and when it was only half way up it was neither up not down. Diabetes tune

Thanks. Now I'm stuck with Prince Maurits in my head for the rest of the day. He takes the place of your gentle duke in the Dutch version of this song. But he apparently marched ten times as many men up and down that hill than the duke.

Hi,

Strangely, I had a sensor go like this back in the winter? I was wearing lots of layers working in a cold environment (no heating.) with a lot of body movement.. I put it down to the end of the sensor's life (about a day left.) with the multi layered slieve including a thermal long tee compressing & jigling the sensor too much? The meter didn't concur with the wild numbers.
 
If you like your music dome differently, the album, No More Mr Nice Guy, by Pat Boone, who is a real clean cut American singer. he does an amazing job of covering some rock classics. Enter Sandman, the Metallica song is simply out of this world

Coming from Haggisland we could never understand the English fascination with cricket. the rules are very strange

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side thats been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.

When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

Yeah ear worms are irritating sometimes and take a long time to shake off. My current one is Unity by John Tams who starred in the series Sharpe. The CD is much better, the intro to this is long and the sound quality tinny but love the sentiment. Another Diabetes tune "Raise your banners high"
Interesting for me is that John Tams was born in Derbyshire and has lost his "up" vowel sound whereas the second vocalist, Andy Seward, hasn't. Listen to the way they sing "up". Lovely, irritating worm. Wonder what's next?Anyone got a worm that won't go away at the moment?

I want to buy tickets for Lords. They only have blocks unseated 5 and 6 left? Does anyone know if they're any good?

I have no idea if those seats are any good, and I don't like cricket, but my dad used to love it, and always watched it on the tv. A few times when I was young I went to a real match with him, it's a very civilised way to spend a day, and it's much more interesting in real life than on tv, so even if they aren't great seats it's worth going anyway, just to be there.
