I asked old cloth ears Alexa to add "Tupelo Honey" by the one and only Van the Man to my playlist, so she must mis-heard and added it to my shopping list.😎
Thanks @Jodee for your suggestion, but OH is now looking at me very suspiciously, and wondering if I could possibly have ordered "a honey coloured tickler" behind her back. Even if I knew what one of those was, I don't think I'd know how to use it!!

Hi folks and a very good evening to you all, a silly 8.3 this morning, my own fault, bought a packet of trekking mix in Iceland. Raisins, nuts ,banana pieces, coconut slices very Moorish, it was so warm last night thought sod it if I`m awake best open the packet.🙄 Well at 1300 hrs tested, 15.8😱 10 units of NR soon brought that down while watching the cricket, mind you after having a whole see bass and salad no bolus back down to 2.7, up to 5.8 now.😎
Oh @Hazel what are we going to do with you? congratulations.🙂
Goodness! So this is what it's like for you lot in the hoi polloi 😱 I hadn't realised! I let three buses go past before it dawned on me that the Golden Coach wouldn't be arriving to bring me to the Waking Levels Thread 😱 Then I had to wait on a hard wooden bench for one of the booths to open instead of being ushered into the Executive Lounge and plied with sweetmeats and fine beverages! 😱 There wasn't even a doily provided for my mug of builder's tea 😱I can see I'll have to have a word with the management...
What? Oh yes, 6.1 for me this morning, quite a gloomy and windy start by the looks of things 🙂
Dang it @Northerner I was gonna pinch and punch you!
Oh and welcome to the second class section!!
Couldn't ask for more!
Today mine's 5.4!
You've just fatally wounded your bank balance by ordering a once in a lifetime expensive whatnot from Amazon or Argoose.
A couple of days later, they send you a chirpy little e-mail with "You've just bought XYZ!
Click here to buy it again!"
Who in Hades do they think we are - Richard Branson?
OR:
You've recently bought a tube of Katalax for your feline friend's furballs and they pop-up again in your in-box entreating you to "write a review!!"
No way, José! Details of my moggy's digestion and bowel movements will always remain private and within the confines of our home and not plastered all over the interweb!! 😱
Good morning, you are funny all of you,, especially first thing in the morning, it’s as much as I can do to drag my sorry backside out of bed and get ready for work. A 5.9 for me this morning after a weekend of bbq’s, they’re really not good for us. Anyhow off to work to 11 GPs to see if they need me to be secretary, tea maker or Poirot, probably a mixture of all 3, who knows it’s always a surprise, but I love it. Have a great day all xx
Ouch, awake at 4 am. Work going round my head (on inside) action required
8.8 this morning after a weird day yesterday.
Enjoy your new status Northerner.
I'm joining @Northerner with my 2nd 6.1 in a row, can I make it a hat trick? Tune in tomorrow to find out! 🙄
Dull this morning but still very warm, I've spent the last week or so wandering around the house without a t-shirt on, cant be doing with this heat at all
After a huge Chinese buffet style meal yesterday, I feared the worst for this morning, but I am almost too embarrassed to say, another House Special of 5.2
Good morning. I’ve not read any posts yet, I will catch up later as my tum is complaining. I hope all is well with everyone.
6.3 on the finger and 5.8 sensor.

Good morning - another hot one. I took your information on board and last night slightly reduced basal and bolus although ate roughly the same amount of food/carbs. This morning my BS was 10! Totally unacceptable. I know that type 1 diabetes is not a one-size-fits-all situation but honestly I would rather be low than high. Being low-ish without a hypo is more reassuring to me than being high and providing a perfect glucose breeding ground for infections, particularly with my history of UTI's.
Joining Robin on the 6.8 step this morning, no idea why it is that high. I know I ate 2 slices of bread at 11am yesterday in the form of a bacon sandwich, but that was because I felt faint and went dizzy after running, I had to stop at 10K and walk the last bit back to our finishing point. The plan was to run 12, so it was not too far. Got back saw the ladies, went to sit down next to them and they were just a blurry picture, they sat me on the ground so I didn't have any where to fall, a few minutes later I felt much better, went to the cafe for our post run coffee and we decided to have breakfast there, as I was still feeling shaky I decided just for once I would eat a bacon sandwich. It was lovely but post reading was 6.6, was 4.7 on waking, pre-running. Was running in the 6s and 1 7 all day. But think because I ate breakfast out, that I forgot tmy breakfast meds.
@Hazel, has your award for having HS most days arrived yet? Congratulations. I would offer to bake you a cake to celebrate, but that might just ruin your good control.
