The trouble with shaving ones head is that the hat won't stay in place until the stubble grows back, and when that happens it's time to shave again.
A little spike after tea to 11, the young un didn't finish her Chinese take away, so on the waste not, want not principle I ate it for her after I'd finished mine, but didn't bolus for the extra half portion of rice, I sat at 9 after the first 2u correction but started to rise so corrected again, currently waiting for it to move before I see if I can get away with supper.

I was going on about shaving, wasn't I :p I don't use porridge as gel as it would clog the Mach 3 blades I think...
 
Hello all collanders and leaky buckets, 33 degrees C in Adelaide today and muggins here has a meeting beginning 9am with a 15 minute walk to and fro home and bus stop and a 25 minutes walk to and fro the bus depot and the meeting place.
So 4 lots of exercise divided into 2 lots of close together exercise at around 9 am and 1:30 pm.
So I leave my basal at 120% from 8 am to 1 30 pm because I know my BSL goes up with exercise and when attending meetings (not matter how enjoyable). Then I drop by basal rate to 85 % at 1.30 pm in expectation of the muscles drawing back glucose from the blood at near 3,30 pm (6 hours after morning walks).
Now I decide to leave things bee until 3.30 pm when BSLs are tending down to the 4 mmol/l mark when I adjust my basal down to 70% and will leave oit there until the 6 hours after walk/bus home = about 7 pm.
This exercise lark is not beer and skittles for us on insulin !!!

More decos up whilst listening to Christmas songs and a few more presents bought. But I still don’t feel that Christmassy. I guess it’s too early.

My evening was a little disrupted and I experienced a great example of how exercise makes my body use insulin more efficiently.
I was planning to go climbing but my climbing partner got caught up at work. So at short notice, I decided to go to the gym.
For 45 minutes pre exercise, I reduced my basal by 40% as usual. I usually try to avoid having any insulin on board but my BG was a bit high (10.3) so I took a corrective dose at the same time as I reduced my BG. By the time I started on the treadmill, I had about half a unit of insulin on board. In 30 minutes, my BG dropped from 10 to 3.5 with no pump.
Lesson learnt: no insulin on board when getting on the treadmill.

I may restrict tomorrow’s exercise to a bit of walking.
In the meantime, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

The only time to have insulin on board is at a board meeting (except if one is talking about riding surfboards or kite boards)!!
 
Morning
Woke with a 5.9 which I was thrilled with as I have had a poor couple of days.

Have a terrific Tuesday everyone and may energies shine on you from a million suns....

Morning all muslin bags and hypo jelly users (jam makers will know what I mean).
Belly bum drawers of a BG ride at the moment. Yesterday was great, in the blue most of the day, despite the mud pie bring a plate lunch where everyone seemed to bring things wrapped in pastry or in a delicious Lidl box and full of carbs. Aha, I thought, I’ve got this thing licked.
No.
Phone went at 5.50 this morning when the internet arose from the dead and a stored dispatch wizzed in. So the DP started then. Gone to 12.9 by the time I woke up. Grrrrrrr. It’s dug in and an armful of Fiasp’s thinking of applying for overtime.
Maybe @therower’s cold hitched a lift on the net. Hope you’re beginning to feel better now.
Love the porridge-head image of kev, brightens the day.
 
Seahouses sounds lovely! I’d not heard of it before your posts but now I want to go there too.
 
Good morning one and all
The misses bought a big box (18) profiteroles in work yesterday. Was having a small hypo around 7.30 last night so decided to have 1 or 2 of said profiteroles, well 6 of them :) Bloods before bed were 10.1 and rising, small correction dose and woke to a nice 7. I just hope i don't mis-calculate my evening meal tonite lol
 
Afternoon guys, I woke up on 6.9 this morning, so I am okey dokey with that. Busy cleaning changing bed cover's, washing floors too. Daughter and baby granddaughter popped round, when I see baby Cleo my heart feels bigger every time, she is my little Christmas cracker :happy: Hope you are all having a good day :) 7.7 before lunch.

I don't see all of mine, very bad relationship/divorce and the mother turned 3 of the children against the family, it's so sad because I love them all, but I am so glad I can at least see the other's :)

A book mark I bought for a friend says : If I knew how much fun grandkids were, I would of had them first......lol
