Good morning all.
Well my 100% went out the window lol. Went to bed last night on a 5 and, apparently, I was hypo all thru the night! Woke to a 3.1 and finger prick confirmed! Felt brilliant on waking as well. Knew I should not have posted the 100% :banghead::banghead:

It was 100% below target, and now you've extended it even further. I tend to focus more on the above target, and worry less about hypos, they are mostly collateral damage in pursuit of keeping the above target down, in my view.

Though don't want them to be too serious, but...........

I'll take this opportunity, while we're talking about @Knikki wedding, to remind him that I did point out to him that one of the thread rules is that if you get married you have to post a photo so that we can all go ahhhhhh. It can be soft focus, vague outlines, taken from an obscure. or quirky, viewpoint, airbrushed, cropped, or impressionistic in interpretation, but a photo we must have.

Morning

OK OK OK I know this has been asked a thousand times before, but I'm low, fighting an SQL Server log on and CBA is kicking in because I am off from tomorrow and getting married again next Friday:

BUT

What do people use to stop things like Etch A Sketch button, or my case MiaoMiao, from comming off?

Started off the day 7.1 on the bloods Etch A Sketch say 4.1 :shifty:

Stuff face things going up :writer:

In car close to work LOW Alarm going off :nailbiting:

Flamingo, oh Mel's Cat and a Crested Porcupine thrown in, looks like I got the first insulin blat of the day wrong :meh:

Never mind, I will be ball and batting a spike later on :***:

Time for a coffee.

To answer your question, I use Tegaderm but I want to try Skin Tac wipes (think @Mel dCP may use these, mentioned in earlier posts).

But that's a pretty minor thing compare with getting married on Friday! Congrats and I'm with the @Alison4321 team, photo decidedly necessary:)

@Knikki has casually thrown in this getting married thing a couple of times before, I think he casually mentioned looking at menus for his own wedding related event, a few weeks ago.

But this very important life event doesn't get many mentions.

Ah I thought I missed that. BIG news like that should be the main headline and not a sub-mention lol

Congratulations (again) mate :woot::woot:
 
Libre, MiaoMiao, Sugar, food, cake (oh, and I’m getting married).... *rolls eyes at @Knikki * Which of the angels is the lucky one? Confessing to quite a longstanding crush on Captain S. Capt Blue is a bit bland...

Morning all! Sketchy sensor reading hypo, lucky I can recalibrate it with blood... 5.1

Captain Scarlett, I use a Skin Tac wipe and the MM stickers before sticking any of my gadgets on, which does work pretty well for at least the first week (bra straps notwithstanding) - after that I put a strip of kinesiology tape over the whole assembly. I mask the middle section with a sencond bit of tape, so that there’s less sticky in contact with the gadgetry to clean off after. Some use Tegaderm, but if found that holds it on so tightly against my skin it gets itchy on the corners of the MM.

Bonjour à tous
Aujourd'hui je suis à Bruxelles.
Malheureusement, mon diabète n’aime pas les matins précoces.

I got up (at 3:50am) with a BG of 12.5.
I put it down to the bad sleep which I always have when I have to get up early: I wake every 20 minutes to check I have not missed the alarm.

I would rather be in Benidorm with @karen8967 ... although I would still be asleep and not telling you about it.

Congratulations Captain Scarlet
 
Good morning everyone,

with @karen8967 on holiday it's a bit quiet round here. Not much to report, I reduced my Levemir dose last night by 1 unit, because I just didn't want another midnight hypo, it was ok, I didn't get the hypo, but I needed to do a small correction at 2 am, and 6 am, which is not ideal, but nor is it the end of the world. So I'll have to think about that.

Have a good day, everyone.
 
Morning all, 1am high and 7am low again, so more fiddling required. Pfffft. Going for bloods at my GP surgery this morning to have a look at my thyroid, as I have all the classic symptoms of hypothyroidism. Drinking lots of water to make sure I’m nice and juicy for that, last time I went I was a dried out old husk and she had to really rummage around in both arms with the needle to get any last time. Quite keen to avoid that, as you can imagine!

Hope you all have a nice day, smooth sailing all around ❤️
 
Good morning y'all :) waking hypo for me, low on the Libre and 3.1 on a fingerstick, happy Friday and all that jazz.

4.2 now, pre bolussed and scanning every couple of minutes as it'll go up before it comes down, a bowl of porridge waiting, poached eggs have been fun this week having found one of those silicon poaching things at mums, I can get 3 eggs in it and it makes a nice plate filling shape :p

I'm making myself hungry talking about food :)
