Have a Cheerful Yule everyone, whatever you eat and drink, however you make merry, may your blood sugars stay stable.
@becca59 I sincerely hope the saga’s over tomorrow and healthy life returns free of what we call nitroglycerin (nitrofurantoin) nasties. As if it’s not tough enough having a uti in the first place! T1D, the condition that just keeps giving.

A Very Merry Christmas one and all. Not quite there health wise, but pretty determined to have a good time. Going to sons tomorrow, he has the first full Christmas off for about 10 years. His shift pattern fell right. As he has a 6 yr old and a 10 month old it should be a joyous affair.
Have a lovely time my fellow type 1s.

Sorry you've had such a horrible time @becca59 I hate UTI's because they make you feel so rotten, and take so long to recover from. Glad you're feeling better than you were, and hope you soon feel completely we'll again.
Sorry you've hurt your back @Marie 2 and hope you soon recover, and @Nicola M you do too.
Hope everyone else is well and you all have a happy and peaceful Christmas xx

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have a wonderful day and eat lots of amazing food. Today is the day where my diabetes falls out the window but honestly, I do not care!!

 

[SherwoodT1]

Merry Christmas my fellow hypo Dodgers! I hope the festive period has been kind to you all.

Thanks @Marie 2. That's what I'm clinging on to. Even if it feels like a no, it isn't. Thankfully I've got less time to wait now before my appointment, so fingers crossed!

Until then, I'm anticipating rollercoaster blood sugars!

 

[becca59]

It’s certainly been a roller coaster. The last month has totally and utterly screwed my levels up. But I have kept injecting, done my best and enjoyed myself. And not finished yet lol!

 

[Nicola M]

Happy New Year to all, I hope your diabetes is kind to you all this year!

 

[Hopeful34]

Happy New Year @Nicola M and everyone else. Hope everyone has a healthy 2024.

 

[Marie 2]

Happy New Year!!!!

I'm still trying to heal. I actually fractured my back. It's affecting my sciatic nerve when I first get up until everything settles and adjusts. Ouch! I still can't stand for very long, but at least I can sit now, the first few days sitting even hurt. From getting on my exercise bike 10 miles every day to now barely doing 2 miles before my back starts to protest. I'm having to put up with some BG numbers going higher as I used to rely getting on my exercise bike to stop and lower it. It's still not really bad. But I am hitting 10's and stay there a bit before I drop. I rarely went up to 9's very much before. And DP is driving me nuts too, on off on off. Sigh....
Basically I am okay, lol my back isn't, but the rest of me is!

@Marie 2 so sorry to hear that - how did you do it? Hope it won't take too long to heal xx

3 dogs that have gotten along really well and play, sleep, eat together constantly. Sydney our smaller black dog decided to attack the Dobie over a nylabone, the idiot. The Dobie responded and then our 3rd dog joined in. Two hands three dogs. So I had to drag the group to a gate we have up in the hallway to put the Dobie behind it so I could separate the other two. 175 pounds of pulling dogs and trying to hold the 75 pound dog up originally and nowadays my already thrashed back couldn't take it.

They are fine, a couple of bites, nothing serious. But I ended up with a fracture.

Oh no!
That's a really stupid accident, and really stupid dogs as well.
No more treats.
I hope you'll improve soon, sounds pretty horrible.

 

[becca59]

@Marie 2 so sorry to hear this. Bad backs are awful but a fractured back must be terrible. Wishing you a speedy recovery so you can get your control back in order.

Oh boy, that sounds horrid; do hope they'll all settle back down together, though I'm not sure I'd be keen to risk it any time soon. In the meantime hope you get better soon xx

So sorry to hear that @marie Hope your back heals quickly and the sciatica resolves as soon as possible. Take care and hope your dogs settle down together again.
