I googled the Freestyle Libre but couldn't find any info on how it actually works. Is it something you wear? Do you apply it, or does your doctor install it? Its website didn't give details.
Another very pleasant fbg to greet you Karen. Have a great weekend yourself.5.5 for me have a good weekend everyone
Thanks ian xAnother very pleasant fbg to greet you Karen. Have a great weekend yourself.
Thank you @DebandezMasterpiece. Love it. Dark and mysterious. Haunting. Wonderful. You and @Muddy Cyclist amaze me every day. Loving the pictures.
A day away and the thread moves on like an express train. Dreams, cats, viruses, spring flowers, BG readings, paintings, stories, delicious bread, chicken, burgers, taps, weather, jets and automobiles, just another typical day in this thread
Aunties Funeral went as well as funerals can go. In typical Aunty fashion the old dear put me to the test from wherever she now resides. In her will I was left a hand written poem with the request I read it at her cremation, Remember by Christina Rossetti but abridged by Aunty. In the order of service the full poem is printed with the heading read by Muddy Cyclist (actually my real name not MC) so what does one do, read the hand written abridged or the full poem expected by those sitting in the pews? Either way an explanation was going to be required, thanks Aunty!
The evening with son and my two oldes granddaughters brightened up a somewhat difficult day.
Dressing up their long suffering, scruffy, badly constructed but much loved dog. Here is the outfit I voted for....

Apparently they take him long walks dressed so and he puts up with it.
Then being aware I am behind on my daily painting I convinced them to help me create a picture, we decided on Frost on Cow Parsley which seems to grow profusely along their lane. I had some heavy watercolour paper and so loaning their paints they helped paint the blue background. After the paper had dried we scratched off the paint to show the white paper and form the Cow Parsley, so joint effort. A4 size.

Then the oldes insisted on telling me this rhyme.... sorry all you cat lovers, but it is so true....
Quick, quick the cats been sick.
Where, where?
Under the chair.
To late, to late, ''tis all in vain.
The cat has licked it up again.
She really isn't a horrid child, honest.
Just done loads of food prep as tomorrow may be Burns night but here it's a jam session for 16 musicians, must be mad. Still at least no bagpipes.
Told you the higher numbers were a blip and normal service would be restored but delighted to be able to say told you so. Thanks for the good wishes for today. Added bonus is No1 son and his 2 are staying tonight - Julie had a late message. I may shoot off and see if there are any freshly shot Haggis/Haggises or Haggi at the Croc farm. Enjoy the Indian - Sioux or Cherokee?Morning All. 5.3 now that’s better. We are out with friends for an Indian meal this evening so I needed a good start. @ianpspurs that is a full on McGarrett score which makes everyone happy. Have a great day with sons and the littlies. @Muddy Cyclist sounds quite a day yesterday but nice ending with the GC. Dog made me laugh, he had such a resigned look. The cow parsley pic is beautiful and so clever to do it involving the GC as well. The cat poem made me glad mine dont do that since they spend a lot of time cuddled up with me, mouse breath is bad enough!
Happy Burns night to all celebrating. Have a great weekend everyone. Stay well, stay safe.
I was thinking of starting a libre sensor graphs thread to help everyone including non users understand blood sugars a little more, although one may already exist. What are your thoughts? To include what was eaten, exercise, stress, illness and anything that can effect them.
It arrives with and individual applicator. Simply swab the application site with the enclosed swabs and apply. This little video explains it better.I googled the Freestyle Libre but couldn't find any info on how it actually works. Is it something you wear? Do you apply it, or does your doctor install it?

I know the feeling. Was chuffed with my 4.8 fbs this mirning. Did it again a few mins later and not so happy. But I think I might get a thread going, maybe start 1st Feb. Good time to do it as I'm going to be testing the eatwell plate to support my DUK complaint case. Probably nowhere near the 14 days I initially planned. Maybe even just one of their meals a day for 7 days. Haven't decided yet anyway, must dash, I've got a very important date with my running shoesThat could be useful. I find that if I keep away from carbs, especially during the evening, my graph stays reasonably flat, unlike the roller coaster ride if carbs are gobbled down.
You also get a good picture of any dawn phenomenon, illustrating that taking a reading even five minutes after waking can give you quite a fright when there may be nothing to worry about. I can get my blood sugars from about 4 up to 6 just by a very brisk 30 minute walk.
Good luck finding a shot Haggis at the croc farm. (Cant believe I just said that). I hear on the news Vegan Haggis is all the rage this year. Bangladeshi most likely! Have fun.Told you the higher numbers were a blip and normal service would be restored but delighted to be able to say told you so. Thanks for the good wishes for today.
