Maybe we've both being having too many little treats lately? 🙄
I feel like I've been excluded from life's feast some days!

Morning all, 8.3 for the second morning on the trot, either my meter's stuck or I need to tweak my basal. Will be putting a Libre sensor on in the next few days ( trying to time them two weeks on, two weeks off) and giving my ratios a good talking to.

Wow, good number. Have some more hugs, to add to the ones I left on Stitch's thread.

Good morning 🙂 5.8 for me today after a 5.8 before bed, Milly Moles must be getting lazy! 🙂
The Tale of Milly Mole
Once upon a time
In a little earthen hole,
Lived a tiny little creature
Whose name was Milly Mole.
She had a thousand cousins who,
If laid limb to limb,
Could fill a litre measuring jug
Right up to the brim!
Their life was one of tedium
Within the mole-filled lands,
Until one day they chanced upon
A scientist wringing his hands.
He said, ‘My goodness, look at you!
You’re just the perfect size
For me to measure sugar voles –
I can’t believe my eyes!’
‘What do you mean?’ said Milly Mole
And all her cousins too,
‘We’d never even heard of sugar voles
Till we met you!’
‘Let me explain’, the scientist said,
‘And all will soon be clear.
The sugar voles live in the blood
And are a source of fear.’
‘They like to live in people’s cells
But sometimes can’t get in
Because they need to wear a coat
Of shiny insulin.’
‘There are some people who produce
Some droplets of this stuff
But as their cells have sticky doors
It’s never quite enough’
‘For some, their poor old Pancreas
Has given up the ghost,
And they produce no insulin
For when they need it most.’
‘The sugar voles remain outside
And there their numbers grow,
But if they cannot count them all,
The people never know.’
‘There used to be a way if they
Could pee upon a stick –
But it wasn’t very sociable,
And it wasn’t very quick!’
‘And so I’ve made a meter which,
With just a drop of blood,
Can count up all the sugar voles,
Or, at least it could…’
‘I need something to live inside
And, when the blood comes in,
To count how many sugar voles
Can balance on a pin!’
‘And when you know, dear Milly Mole,
How many voles you’ve seen,
Why, then you’d type the number up
And show it on a screen!’
‘The people then would know the truth,
And they could make a start
To save their kidneys, eyes and limbs,
And hopefully, their heart!’
Well, Milly and her family
Said they could hardly wait
To help the humans count their voles –
They thought it would be great!
So, when you take that drop of blood
And place it on the meter,
Remember please, the Milly Moles –
A thousand to the litre!

Good luck @Bubbsie
Love the poem @Northerner
7.8 for me this morning. Don't know why. Maybe it's the sleet hitting my window.
