that's them, 20 mini bags in there so well worth it and think my mum said there's 7 sweets in the pack (I gave her a pack when I bought them yesterday lol) mine don't go out of date until well into next year either so will last a good time 🙂 xx

Ah man! Just been to Tesco! It’s good they’re in individual packs, once a pack of jelly babies are open they just harden. I think the pack I have is over a year old! 😱

Those look good & will get them next time but, just recently got a jumbo, 400g, box of jelly babies & yes, noticing they DO indeed can be acidic tasting during a hypo: which I now know affects my taste of things! 😱
 
Oh, I keep my jelly babies in an airtight Tupperware box & they keep very well & only take out a little sealed bag of 8 in my coat pocket everywhere I go & change them, or start to eat them one or two after eating a meal, as yes, I notice they start to harden when exposed to air.

At least you can say with honesty at review that you are not having too many hypos! 😱 🙂
 
A pleasing 6.2 this morning. Started new insulin at tea time yesterday. Had a fairly ‘flat day’ on the Libre too. Hope it continues.

Have a good evening all.
 
4.5 for me this morning. Once the jelly babies are open in my house they get eaten by my men, I go to get some to get my sugars up for either running or driving and the pack is empty. I do also keep some in the door pocket of my car so there are some in easy reach still.

The younger of my two men, quite regularly helps himself to his nieces and nephews sweets from the sweets tin, always says he will replace them, but usually gives me some money when I go shopping to replace them. But if I tell the kids uncle Adam ate their sweets they say that is fine we love uncle Adam.

I do tell him to be careful, just because he is fit and well now does not mean he might not get type 2 diabetes down the line as my mum and I are both type 2, my dad is pre-diabetic and mum in law had type 2, so the genetic element is in the family.

well I can agree there, I was fit and well and only history of diabetes was my type 2 gran so can happen to anyone :( xx
 
Good morning folks. I haven’t read any posts here yet, I will catch up later, so I hope all is well with everyone.
6.0 this fine morning but with a huge hump due to some stupid naughtiness last night it involved, 3 Macaroons and more than a few walnuts 😱 it sure woke up my Beta cells I can tell you.

Morning all. A 6.3 today which is surprising as I had the munchies big style yesterday and was a whopping 9.2 at bed time! 😱 A day of voting, collecting meds and gardening beckons today. For the first time ever I am not voting my usual party, not sure it will make any difference though! Have a tactical Thursday everyone.😉

I just made the mistake of reading through the rules for the formula they use to apply the proportional representation of the votes. I need to go and lie down now.
 
Good morning folks🙂

I fell asleep in the chair last night. Serves me right for buying a rise and recliner chair, I suppose.:D

Scored 5.6 on waking. Not doing anything today, and that includes voting. Can’t see the point in England, the country is going down the plug anyway.

I wouldn’t vote for the Brexit party if I were you. In 2016 Farage tweeted “If we vote for Remain on June 23 that will be the end of the steel industry in this country. Simple as that. Vote for Brexit”. Another lie, then,

British Steel, in case you haven’t noticed, are quoting Brexit as the main reason why they are having the problems that is causing their insolvency. Incidentally, they make 80% of railway lines in the UK.

Have a good day, folks.🙂

(Sorry, haven’t had my extra strong Americano yet:D)
 
Good morning 9.9🙄 a bit of DP in that figure as I sorted out the washing before testing.😳
In having bloods done yesterday, nurse looked at my wrist and said,😱 fetched a doctor who looked at it.😎 She immediately phoned the fracture clinic and told them she wasn`t happy with the repair, I now have an appointment for next week.🙂

Fingers crossed for Bubbles @Kaylz.🙂

Another fine day enjoy it while you can.🙂
