Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly and not your usual young self. Hope you feel better soon.
Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly and not your usual young self. Hope you feel better soon.Morning all. a big hug for you @MrsA2, I know how hard it is. I have stopped taking the anti-biotics because I was getting worse by the day. They left a disgusting taste in my mouth as well and as nothing else had changed in my life, it had to be them that caused all the problems I had. I haven't got better overnight obviously but I slept better. To be honest, I suddenly feel like an old woman and I have never felt this way before. But tomorrow is another day. Have a nice day folks.
Not a dream, but definitely something similar. I posted about it in 2017, a year after diagnosis and a year before a C-peptide test showed I was still producing some insulin, if only a small amount.We often talk about impact of food on our blood glucose numbers but wonder if anyone has had an impact on their bgs of food they dreamt about rather than ate?
I was chatting to a family friend yesterday evening about the sweet shop that George's Mum and Dad owned and we also ran for a couple of years to help them out and earn some money to pay for post graduate training. We talked about various old fashioned sweets and I had a really vivid dream last night with tastes and smells of the sweets. Very enjoyable but it was so realistic that I woke up worried my fasting bloods would be up so imagine my surprise when meter said my lowest fasting bgs ever of 3.7 ! My usual is 4.9 to 5.2. All I can think is that body produced insulin in anticipation of the sweet treats which never appeared in reality!
That’s really interesting but hard to test unless you can have the same dream for a few nights runningWe often talk about impact of food on our blood glucose numbers but wonder if anyone has had an impact on their bgs of food they dreamt about rather than ate?

I don't think one needs a cool job to be cool, or validated. You seem pretty cool to me anyway. Most jobs are actually boring and sedate. The cool bit comes from the hours outside the job, imhoAnyone having ideas on cool jobs I could apply for, please tell me, I really have no idea!
Sounds very good to me, not relatively.went really high twice (cake in the morning and trifle in the evening,)but came back down really quickly. Is that relatively good?
Thanks a lot for thinking me cool!I don't think one needs a cool job to be cool, or validated. You seem pretty cool to me anyway. Most jobs are actually boring and sedate. The cool bit comes from the hours outside the job, imho
Sounds like you are being proactive @Antje77 which is a really good start.Hope this guy has some useful suggestions for you. Have you put the word out amongst people you know that you are looking?I "have" a social worker I've been in contact with once every two years when the funding for my help (needed to prevent me from drowning in my own household) needs to be extended.
He's a really cool guy, always willing to look at what works rather than what the rules say, even though he works for the local government.
I'm still struggling with wanting to work, but no idea what I want to do now overly physical jobs are out with the stupid arm, and no idea on how to get a job really, I've always been sailing which is completely different from regular jobs. and new things scare me still.
I found out the department for helping people find their way into jobs is actually the same department dealing with people needing help with basic housekeeping.
So I skipped all the complex applications and simply sent this Wouter a text message to ask if he would be willing to think with me. Which I think is bending the rules, but it's much quicker and much more informal and mentally safe than following the official route.
It took him a week to reply (holiday to Denmark, lucky him!), but he has time to come by tomorrow morning, too bad he forgot to tell me at what time.
When he still hadn't messaged me at 9:30 pm I sent him a message I'd be available from 9:30 am, but please let me know his plan so I might be able to go for my morning swim, or call me half an hour before he plans to come if earlier. Or if he fancies a swim to be written as working hours, meet me at 9:30 at my swimming spot.
Anyway, I hope he can help me find my way in this new world of finding a job,
Anyone having ideas on cool jobs I could apply for, please tell me, I really have no idea!
You enjoy caring for your animals what about dog walking or pet sitting for people? Assisting at an animal shelter or vets office?I "have" a social worker I've been in contact with once every two years when the funding for my help (needed to prevent me from drowning in my own household) needs to be extended.

How fascinating! @shelley262 and @Antje77.Not a dream, but definitely something similar. I posted about it in 2017, a year after diagnosis and a year before a C-peptide test showed I was still producing some insulin, if only a small amount.
I guess I'll have to watch GBBO again to see if I'm still producing insulin!
I swear watching The Great British Bake-off makes me hypo
Well, technically not the great british bake-off, but Heel Holland Bakt, the Dutch copy of the show. Not sure if type2 or LADA, but I guess it proves I still make some of my own insulin. Is it even possible to produce insulin in anticipation of food? Anyone else experienced this? The first...www.diabetes.co.uk
