How... oddly gratifying, she writes (with manufactured humility).

Nice to know that someone else recognised our uber-coolness, doncha think? ;)

8.1 Eeek!

I ran out of Metformin on Monday. Yesterday I went to the chemist to collect it. Here's the conversation I had:

Me: Hello. I've come to collect the prescription I put in last week.
Assistant: I only ordered it for you today..It won't be in until early next week
Me: Not till today? But I brought the prescription in a week ago
Assistant: Yes, I know but someone put it in the wrong pile
Me. But I ran out on Monday
Assistant: It'll be in on Monday or Tuesday next week.
Me. May I speak to the pharmacist? (He's about 14 and gets very stressed, probably because of things getting put in the wrong piles)
Pharmacist: When did you last take your Metformin?
Me: Monday. Could you let me have an emergency supply perhaps?
Pharmacist. How many do you take a day?
Me: 4
Pharmacist: Here's 12. Your prescription will be in early next week...:banghead:

Mmm, so they don't have YOUR prescription BUT they do have a stock that they can take some out of to give you......:eek:

so many legends in one forum!
Just as long as we remain living legends!
I suppose it's an improvement on my previous description of "Regular", which always made me think of bowel movements.

Pavlos

P.S. @alliebee nice to see you are on top of things and your levels are coming down.

Oooh I've become a legend?? Where did that come from lol. On my profile. Is that a polite way of saying I post too much :)

I was wondering what those "names" meant especially I noticed on one or two "Senior" but knew it wasn't age cos they're younger than me :eek:
 
Figures
Before tea last night 5.00 (to many carbs 95! woah, but that baked spud was goooood)
2 hours Post 7.3
plus an hour 5.8 (pre bed)
This morning 5.5
2 slices of toast (45g carbs) and 2 hrs later 6.8

Bread needed using up - had forgotten about it and its going dry - that's my excuse anyhow :oops: (though true)
 
@alliebee I think it has changed on the forum for everyone, I am coming as senior, I am only 32 :D as pavlos said as long as i am a living senior it does not matter.
 
Pre-lunch 5.4
3 cheesy scrambled eggs and two ryvitas with butter - total carbs approx 17 (there's still bread left and toast was tempting ;)

Slightly higher, old meter would probably have been ~5.1
(6 tests )
5.0-5.8 avg 5.65 new meter,
4.8 - 5.9 avg 5.55 old meter

Well within the accuracy percentage I've seen posted then but as someone else said @pavlosn I think, its the figures before our eyes we react to isn't it. What's the test you refer to in your signature? I'm pre-diabetic but still interested - always good to know what you know about your condition (or potential condition)
