Here's a link better explaining basal testing, well worth a read if you get the chance - https://www.mysugr.com/en/blog/basal-rate-testing/ xx

Thanks for that! 🙂

Read up on it & realise I need at least a 10 hour gap of no bolus at all to do a 6 hours section of 24 hours for basal testing! o_O So, actually I’ve no idea what the Tresiba is doing then!😱 Just as well I’ll be making my weekly call to DSN later this morning, around 9am, & give her my BS readings, wait for her to call me back & see if it needs changing? No wonder she said at least a week before changes!:confused:

00:24 BS 7.0 🙂

Couldn’t get back to sleep after call of nature so, watched the final of Rupaul’s Drag race while I ate breakfast. Just had 2 hours & 2 minutes after test 02:34 BS 14.3 & oh dear no where near enough bolus & stuck in a 12 NR correction! 😳

A very early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Really enjoyed the Drag Race final & couldn’t call it & liked all 3 so, didn’t mind who DID win it? A bit of herstory was made! 😛

Been re reading a book I haven’t read in a good 10 to 12 years & bought it on kindle as I’ve no idea where the paperback book is? Open House by Jill Mansell because watching Grand Designs lately reminded me of it! It’s my favourite book by Jill Mansell & it was WAY back in 1995 when it was first published! 😱 About a little village of Killburton that’s the seat of the new young 28 year old Earl of Killburton. He has to open up Killburton Castle to the paying public to pay the death duties & all the shenanigans that went on, in the castle & the village, during the 6 months of pre opening prep & the first year of opening when they needed 100,000 visitors to stay afloat: more than acheived that target; along the way loads of love triangles, secret affairs, gossip & comedy! I laughed so much reading it the first time & now re reading it for a third time!:D😛

About two thirds of the way read in one day & will finish it today! It was a trip down memory lane of life in the mid 90’s of cassette tapes & walkmans, Noika mobile phones, tabloid newspapers that is SO dated now in this age well into the 21st century of iTunes, iPhones & social media etc!o_O
 
Good morning woke to a slightly more respectable 6.1 today

Thinking OMG it’s cold
have a great day everybody
 
Morning Friday folks. 6.3 today. Very dark and wet, apparently storms are to hit us later on today, then it’s back to the frosty weather.

The British Gas engineer didn’t turn up yesterday. I went onto my account to find a number to call them, in big letters it said “boiler service booked for 25th January”! Now I don’t make mistakes like that so checked the text and email they sent me on making the booking way back on 1st October, yes, definitely 25th November. When I eventually found a phone number and had to listen to them telling me to use the website/ App to cancel or make an appointment, typing my account into the phone keypad, answering yes or no to questions “ I didn’t catch that, please say yes or no”. I was getting annoyed by now. When they deigned to answer and I explained why I’d rang, I was told the appointment had been rescheduled as they are very behind with the services. I asked why I hadn’t been informed of this, they’re very behind with the services, was the stock answer! I was even more annoyed by now, I told her it was a matter of common courtesy to inform their customers. She couldn’t give me any explanation at all as if it didn’t really matter as “ they’re very behind with the services”. She has lodged a complaint on my behalf she said and the managers will look at it! I’m sure it would have taken less time to just ping me a text to let me know! I don’t suppose for one minute anything will be done, like give me a years worth of gas and leccy! I don’t often get cross but I was yesterday, it made for a very bitty day for us. Ah well, today’s another day.

Have a fab Friday and hope you don’t get too wet or blown away. At least we’ve our nice warm homes to go back to and don’t have to get into a little rubber dingy and try and cross the Channel. :(
 
6.7 this morning. That’s a direct result of the bread I had last night and the sleeping tablet.

Expecting delivery of trail shoes today but just checked the live tracker and it’s now showing 2nd December!

I’m hoping that it’ll update at 11am with driver having sorted out a route and that I’ll get them today anyway. I’d like to use them on my run tomorrow.
 
7.2 today. Bit dull, a few bright blue patches bit windy and 9deg atm.

@MikeyBikey and @Michael12421 hope you can get those numbers up soon xx
7 on the nose today. Off down to our caravan to winterise it as the site closes end of November , my place of solace is no more until March :(. Nice meal out with my friends, was so good to see them. Wanted to put my tree up this weekend but don’t think I’ll have time.
Have a good day all x
 
Forgot to kvell over my brilliant nephew! He’s at Uni studying theoretical physics and he’s now decided to take a year out in industry. So he’s got himself a job at Diamond Advanced Light which is the U.K. equivalent of CERN.
He’s going to be devising algorithms to correct for minor movements in the laser arrays triggered by seismic activity and things like gravity and pesky elves who fiddle with the equipment.
I did ask, as these fluctuations are apparently just a few atoms adrift at a time, whether they can’t just use a hammer and persuade them to line up again. He said no that’s not advised.

I have to resort to humour because I’ve no idea what the cyclotron does or what his role will be but I’m incredibly proud of him and happy for him. So he’ll be moving to Oxford for a year from next September before returning to Leeds and finishing his Masters.
He’s already thinking about what his PhD will be on. I’ve suggested he looks at the quantum physical interactions of Mjölnir (Thor’s hammer) on things but he’s not sure that’ll be approved.

Morning

8.9 today

Mum slightly p'd off as the purple bin isn't due to be emptied until Tuesday and the new neighbours have been using it and filled it right to the top (they did the same with the black bin not even flattening the dog food boxes etc) she struggles enough to get it round and down the steps with our own rubbish in because of her back so will be a real struggle next week, we'll also have a bag of rubbish to try and get in there before then so hoping they don't put even more stuff in! xx

Haven't these people got their own bins, or are they sub-tenants or just plonkers!

I had to get Mr Eggy to translate all that for me. Well done @ColinUK nephew! Clever chap.
