Tonight, I had the most unusual thing happen. I was sitting on the sofa, already had a bath and then a cuppa. I saw large moving silvery zig zig shapes upper left side. I kept trying to look up at them,follow them, but they kept moving, had them for about 5/10 minutes, I have never had this before. I was taken aback, but had no pain, or headache, no loss of vision or movement, all I had was the feeling of a heavy head, very strange and BS was 6.9, this was before dinner about 6 pm.

Sounds like a 'silent migraine' I get them with similar symptoms, no idea what triggers them.
 
Well just re booted the Dexcom and it’s actually giving a readout. Fingers crossed that I may be able to squeeze a few more days out of it.
But here’s the thing..... checked blood to calibrate Dexcom. A bit on the low side at 4.5.
Wife asked me to put milk back in fridge ( she had just made coffee ).
What’s that sitting in a cup at the back of the fridge? Half a cup of custard:woot:. That’s interesting me thinks.
Dilemma time....what does one eat with half a cup of custard?
Crunchy peanut butter and warm custard........10/10.
Sky high sugars here we come.:banghead::banghead::banghead:.

I get this robinredtbreast on on off for years in both eyes opician said it was some kind of eye migraine
 
@Robinredbreast, like Knikki and Karen I've had this two or three times and was told by my optician they're 'visual migraines'. Nothing sinister apparently; it happens to me when I'm very very tired and stressed, though I've no idea if that's a cuase for other people.
 
Woke up to reading of 11 a big jump from 7.5 last night :rolleyes: Also woke up to a big blanket of snow, it looks like a winter wonderland :joyful: Daughter's Nursery is closed, so a day off for her. Pebbles cat has been looking out the window at the snow, so she has decided to curl up next to me :cat:
Take extra special care everyone when out walking or driving :)
 
WHITE RABBITS! :joyful:

Think that's what you say on 1st Feb, thanks @SueJB for that :)

HMMM! technology is being a pain, watch and phone are not talking, phone looks like it has had an argument with miaomiao so they are only talking when they want to :rolleyes: and this blinking Libre keeps telling be every hour "sensor needs replacing" YES I know! :banghead: ggggrrrrrrrrr.

As for bloods...…….. no idea...………:shifty:

No snow here today, it arrived the other day, stuck around for about 2 hours and then left.
 
Morning all, no snow to speak of here either, I think there was a brief smattering during the night but now it’s all drips and bare brown branches. Like Pebbles, Brian’s reluctant to go out, he’s watching birds eat window sill corn and planning how many pots of plants to upend when he leaps for them.
Back to silversmithing yesterday: happy! I’m making a silver and maybe gold fidget ring. I took along some great oval earrings, large ones, that I found in a charity shop. They needed posts attaching - mending. Acid tested and it turns out they’re sterling. Woohoo!
 
Somerset is under snow. Just walked and in places there are small drifts due to a reasonably strong north-easterly, for the rest it's 2 - 3" deep and still snowing quite hard. No sliding off roofs here @helensaramay, snow or people :D
 
Bit sad we’ve not got much snow, I love the brightness. A day’s worth would be a treat, but not the slippery steep bits of the paths.
 
Happy Friday everyone :)

Just a sprinkling here, daughter is at school, one person didn't turn up for work despite the roads being clear and another slept in thinking there was going to be a few feet, not much traffic so makes it easier for everyone though :)

And in 20 years, (while sit there, eating chocolate eclairs and drinking full blown coke, and has been scientifically proven that all carbs, fats, sugars and celery are the only things to eat) while a genetically
grown patch sits on our arm, gently monitoring our bloods while quietly secreting insulin unobtrusively into the body, we shall laugh at all those poor souls who had to inject using needles and controlled our condition with a pump :eek::eek:

PS all in the best possible taste :hilarious:

Technology moves and improves as the years roll by, what seems hideous to us now was all shiny, new and cutting edge (literally :hilarious: ) back in the day, bit like how Libre is seen today :)

But it taught us to be tough, resourceful. pioneers striding from the steps of the previous age of diabetic management to an uncertain future. Insulin had to get under the skin somehow. You guess how your BSL was as urine testing was either zip sugar or some sugar - relating to 30 to 60 minutes ago. Inject and eat to the symptoms.
The syringes with needles did make good short distance and low volume [sterile water] pistols.
