This is the funniest thing I think I've ever seen.It starts like this, which is doable, but already more of a hassle than simply sticking an insulin pen in your pocket:

But they grow pretty fast and you'll end up like this:
Or this:
And then try to explain they're supposed to make reasonable adjustments at work for diabetes...
If you can get to a hospital then you might find that there’s an emergency GP surgery where the doc on duty could write you a prescription. You’d then need to locate a late opening pharmacy.This mess has cost me 7hours and I’m not getting anywhere. Does anyone know if it is worth trying Facebook? I never really used facebook for anything diabetes related.
Would love to rescue a dog and give him/her the run of my garden. It's already escape proof.Morning all, too hot for me this weekend, staying in the shade as much as poss though intermittently having to pursue a puppy round the garden. Having a big garden's great until your dog's small enough to get out of places that a grown dog can't. I've done my best with blocking things up but there are two points that still need attention, and one is defeating me. I think if I can keep on keeping an eye on her for the next three weeks or so she'll then be too big to get through. I'm going to experiment today with a very large play pen, but I think she'll just shout her head off.
She came to a very busy barbeque with me yesterday and loved meeting all the people, didn't mind the loud music, was happy to be handed round to meet everyone. I had to take her home when the smell of the food cooking meant she just wanted to be where that fab smell was coming from.
Hope you're all enjoying your Bank Holidays, bearing in mind not all of us have a day off today, and that you're dealing with the heat better than me! @SueJB I don't know the answer to your question; heat always seems to bring my bg down.
Thanks for the ideas. I do struggle with the heat as a pale skinned, fading redhead and always try to hide in the shade or wear a hat. I don't think anyone would ignore their diabetes and I ask questions because it's still new to me (2 yrs) and the heat yesterday definitely was.@SueJB how do you cope with the heat, ignoring diabetes?
My theory is those who like the heat may see lower bg; those who are ambivalent about it, see no bg change; and those who don't like the heat, struggle with getting too hot, feel lethargic and uncomfortable see bg rises. I think of it like another form of stress. In a way, the stress from the heat leads to bg rises rather than the heat itself.
It's just a theory though because I am in the ambivalent camp.
Himself is firmly in the heat stress camp but luckily doesn't have diabetes.
Apart from waking early (for a bank holiday), all is well here. A bit overcast and not too hot... yet.
Waiting for himself to wake before heading out. Himself prides himself with his long sleeping skills.
Enjoy your day.
Yes Madam Granny. I pink promise it won't happen again.If you can get to a hospital then you might find that there’s an emergency GP surgery where the doc on duty could write you a prescription. You’d then need to locate a late opening pharmacy.
Like @helensaramay says it’s really worth keeping an eye on supplies and reordering before they run out.
Say ‘Yes Granny’ this time.
