In other news, I think this sensor is reading low... thank goodness for blood calibrated readings! New one installed and awaiting activation...

Yep if you look at my Etch A Sketch for most of last week it effectively said 'dead' :hilarious: as it was so flat in the LO saying that xDrip was saying no and showing that the readings were higher plus confirmed with the bloods.

Sometime I think the Official Libre App for both mobile and reader is rubbish, but the worrying thing is that when I go to for a follow up appointment then all the DSN will do is look at the Libre stuff. No doubt an 'interesting; discussion will be had me thinks.
 
Good morning y'all :) a waking 8.1 but had been up at 10 in the early hours, I scanned as I woke then had the amusing thought "I'll get this right one day" :p I'm about to start on breakfast and if all goes to plan (yeah right) I'll get the gym done this morning. Enjoy your weekend :)

I've got some thermal long johns as far as it goes :) decent clothing when the waters freezing on conservatory windows when I clean them :p and it's a nightmare finger pricking and actually getting blood on the strip with pink hands.....

I think I might be having similar discussions :-) Reader reading low, xdrip calibrated vs blood was rather more sane.
 
Well sat here on a Saturday night, drunk but not as trashed as last Friday :hilarious: and have just tried a Salted Caramel Chocolate for the first time and I'm surprised to report, it was rather enjoyable.

Something else to try out now :)

@Mel dCP hows the concert?

One of the micro-breweries near me, couple of lads who'd just got their degree in brewing from Heriot Watt and then built a small brewery from scratch, Pilot, did a salted caramel mochachino milk stout - bit of a challenge for T1 carb-counting it, but well worth it!

Next time you're tucking into an avocado, little sprinkle of Maldon smoked sea-salt on top, sounds pretentious, natch, but it makes a difference...

When it’s doing this, I put notes with each reading in my phone saying what Spike says, just in case the conversation arises!

Gig was good, still travelling home!

Good morning all. Woke to a 2.9 this morning, not the best way to spend the start of your 52 year on this planet

That would be a Happy Birthday hug (I'll send virtual cake later when I've made the cake here as there is a planned flurry of cake making due this evening) and a sympathy hug for the number. Hope it's getting more reasonable since you posted.

@Mel dCP I'm sure you and your Borg pod will be fine until you start jumping about that might test it's staying power :)

Woke up with a 2.9 some wedding cake sorted that out at 06:25. Start the day with cake, the day can only get better.

After coffee and breakfast all is running mid 5 :)

If in doubt, eat wedding cake.
