Hope you are getting a handle on the hypo's, they are horrible aren't they? mine are getting worse and feel so tired after them. Hope you start to feel better

The artificial grass has been brilliant.

Just wondering if they've ever tried to dig up the artificial grass or have damaged it in any way Krystyna?

john it sounds horrendously difficult to manage them and they are so frequent...I really do feel for you.

Just got back in and catching up. There has been so much action. @ianpspurs sounds like he need to lie down (minus Elsie etc) in a very dark room. @gennepher has taken the heavy guns to the water company and been victorious. @johnpol @karen8967 @philchap1 have had a horrible run of hypos, hugs all round. Dogs are running riot in their backgardens, artificial grass and is there nothing a labrador wont eat! @Cumberland wins for the worst luck ever...glad the ankle isnt broken though sprains can be very painful...what is going to happen to walking Wispa? Hugs to you too and Wispa just because. Phew...I am taking a rest now.

No - they haven't tried to dig it or damage it in any way. They love lying on it . They still do run round and round the central raised bed but it does not cause any damage at all. It is also much easier to clear up after they have been to the toilet than our real grass was.

I've just finished a four hour stint with the odd drink & forum break in between clearing up the trimmings from our hedge (its huge) so anything that will make my life easier...TBH the garden is now so messy with bare patches it does put you off sitting out there...determined to claim it back from 'Plumpy' then watch him like a hawk.

@philchap1 @karen8967 @Cumberland and all Type 1s or T2 on insulin, for all the huffing and puffing I and others do on here compared to the roller coaster you guys have I really don't know I'm born. Top, top people each and everyone of you.

Perhaps its my punishment for making my husband walk around the shops for hours.

His car was in for a service and I think he regretted saying that we could go round the shops while it was at the garage.
It took 5 hours :***: - which I think he didn't expect.

Schoolboy error sadly..

(happens a lot to newly weds.. )

he'll learn....

 

[suzywakeup]

@suzywakeup FBG often takes longer to show the true extent of what you have done. How are the rises after meals doing? This is a marathon not a sprint and most of us certainly hit the wall plenty of times. Don't take the success stories and string of 4s as either the norm or a target - that way madness lies.

Thankyou Ian Yes, after meals are more reasonable, usually between 5 and 8 depending on what was eaten!

This was the first song I remember singing

Anyhow, lined up 2 possibles.
An Anglo Asian called Mustbea Betterway and
a Scandinavian called Gottabe Anotherroute.

"why don't we go for a scandi, i fancy some herring rolls",..said No one..ever..
