Good morning all🙂
I woke on 5.4 after a bit of an unnoticed dip in the night. So, nearly right.🙄
I’m off with the offspring to a lunch with very old friends who we haven’t seen since emigrating to Scotland. Should be good fun, though it’s more likely as you get older that it will be just be comparisons of decrepitude
I got notification of a follow up appointment after my EMG studies. 23 April😡
Hope I don’t die before then, I’ll certainly be older.
Looks like the weather could be getting interestingly snowy after the weekend. That’s a good thing, it reminds plants and animals to emerge at the right time. And provides a topic of conversation.
Have a good day, everyone, and I hope all those winter colds clear up quickly. Mine did🙂

Morning all. Snotty Eggy reporting for duty. Been up since 5.45, again! Was worth it for a fab 5.5. Today’s the day we go to see The Red Hot Chilli Pipers, our daughters booked us the matinee show as it was seated, as opposed to this evening’s standing room only show. That was for Mr Eggy’s benefit but I am so pleased as the way I am feeling at the moment, I couldn’t imagine standing up for more than 5 minutes! Will dose myself up with Beechams and sugar free Strepsils and hopefully get through it. I hear the Kleenex profits have gone through the roof this last couple of days! I wonder why? Hope you all have a good snot/sneeze/cough free day. 🙂
Have a great time. I have seen them at a garden festival but would love to see a concert

11:35 BS 8.4. Very late today after a long snooze. Dialed back midnight Levemir to 6, normal dose so, ok with an 8.🙂 Also dialled back yesterday’s Levemir to 30 & Novorapid doses at 20 units. But, still ended up nearly hypo 90 minutes after dinner BS 4.3. So, a cookies & cup of tea with sugar, tested & repeated another 90 minutes later.
So, will have 20 units Novorapid & breakfast! Oh, it’s now near enough time for lunchtime meds & Levemir so, I try dialing it back too, 28, nearly back to the normal 26, units.🙄
Glad to see some of you getting on top of the snottiness with better scores this morning!
Yay! The sun is shining brightly outside my bedroom window & I may venture out for a walk too later! Wishing you all sunshine inside & out!🙂 Have a good day everyone.😛

10:45 BS 7.4. Heading back down again! Had 18 units Novorapid & just about to tuck into slow cooked, overnight, beef casserole! Yesterday 90 minutes after lunch was an acceptable BS 10.2 & dropped 2.5 hours later to BS 5.4 before dinner so, dialled dinner dose back to 18 units. That’s a good sign as the time of day is making a difference to the dose again: same dose all round when ill! So, 18 units for breakfast, once I’ve posted, & maybe reduce lunch, testing, & will definitely need to reduce dinner dose!🙂🙄
One little annoying thing is that all yesterday, noticed the night before last really, EVERYTHING tasted so EXTREME, salty & sweet, that it was hard to eat anything & I drank LOADS of water! I’m no longer sirprised, just irritated, as this has happened so many times. I lose my sense of taste slowly during periods of high BS, when ill, & recover it again when BS drops again afterwards! I made a batch of slow cooked lamb casserole the night before last & tried eating some for breakfast yesterday & couldn’t eat more than a mouthful it was SO extremely over seasoned. Put in some chips in the oven & ate them plain: still tasted VERY salty & sweet! I always use 4 lamb oxo cubes in a 3.5l slow cooker so, ended up freezing the entire pot to eat when I get used to my returned taste buds! I considered not putting ANY beef oxo in the casserole at all but, put in 1 in the end & it’s bearable!😱 It seems that my brain is affected by changing BS levels that, in turn, affect my sense of taste!🙄 But, I’ll adjust as plain chips at dinner tasted less extreme than at lunch!
Got just about an hour of sunshine yesterday in the conservatory after lunch when it got dark around 3pm! But, was glad of that little bit of winter sun!🙂 Today is back to greyish again!
Wishing you all bright sunshine inside & out & a good day!🙂

Good morning gang🙂
I woke today on 2.7. Put that right while thinking through what I did wrong. Got the answer. Nothing.
Though I think my ratios are changing. Oh well, never mind. I’ve been doing this long enough not to panic.🙂
I’ve now started another cold, courtesy of grandson. That’s the trouble with moving to a new region. There are around 100 viruses that cause colds, and individual viruses tend to linger in geographical areas. So you gradually build up immunity to your local viruses. That’s why some people say they never get colds. But when you move to a new area, you haven’t got that built up immunity, so you get every cold going till you do, apart from the colds brought in by visitors to the area. The immunity only lasts around five years, so you get your own cycle of colds again to fettle the immunity again.
Anyway, after that lecture, it’s a grey day, but brightening up. Can’t go anywhere, mind, the lift is knackered. I can get down stairs, slowly, but not up. My thigh muscles are too weak, so positions 1-45 are not practical.
That is not a viable chat up line, I suspect
Have a good day, everyone. 🙂

Oh, poor you!
As kids my younger sister & I had to get to sleep BEFORE my younger brother because his snores were so loud!😱 I don’t usually snore but, during a cold & asthma flaring up I DO. So, my younger sister has always told me, as kids, & kept her up too many a time! My younger brother, on the other hand, can sllep through anything & sleeps like the dead! He only graduated from uni because my parents went to London to stay with him before final exams & wake him in the mornings! Growing up the alarm clock woke both me & my sister up but, one of us would have to shake him awake!😱My sympathies go with you, @Amigo!
