I'll post a thread either tonight or tomorrow with some photos, my phone is currently on charge to make sure it'll be good for the day as forgot to get batteries for my camera and I use my phone for scanning my sensor as well so will get a lot of use today! lol, you should get your son in law to have a look at the event page on facebook (if he has facebook) see if its something he'd be interested in attending any year, there is dedicated camping for the bikers as they come from all over for it xx

Morning all, 5.5 here after treating a 3.3 at 4am. Did a long walk yesterday and would normally have dialled my overnight basal down, but forgot and did the usual amount.
Would put my dunce's hat on, but it’s already fixed to my head from the walk yesterday. I did complex maths to work out lowered bolus for lunch, taking into account heat, elevation and length of walk, the extra bit of carb before setting out (aka, '5 units and a chunk of milk choc should do it')...then felt really ropey half way round.
Stopped and tested (I’m between Libres at the mo) 18.5!! Looked at insulin pen, realised last time I injected was breakfast! Numpty here had forgotten to inject the recalculated bolus!
Lucky I took my pen with me, because we planned to stop for a coffee near the end. Took 5 units, carried on the walk, had a flat white and shared a bakewell slice with OH, walked home, and was 4.5 just before evening meal.

Oh my that is an absolutely stunning bike! Was just a thought as we have folk come from America and other countries to join the ride out and the show and shine competition tomorrow etc, we also have a tunnock's teacake eating championship (obviously I cant partake lol) Bruce's dad went down to Glasgow to collect the teacakes on Thursday, emptied his van out and came back with in fact 2800 teacakes and not the 2400 I thought it first was, then they went back to Glasgow the same day to see the Eagles gig lol xx
 
Good morning. Sunny here and just gone out to plot and plan my gardening chores for when I am able to potter.
8.9 for me but celebrating with a carb fest last night in prep for what is possibly my last full week working next week.
Oh my water butt is overflowing and weeds are flourishing, and shredder at work complaining of over use !

5.1 this morning and lost 2 1/2 lbs this week, but I was ill for a couple of days so that may have helped.

Yes I can imagine, I'd absolutely love a bike but it would be too much hassle for me now, if things were different and I wasn't diabetic I'd go for it but ya know lol xx
 
My son (40) bought himself a bike and is loving it. I will tell him about the event for maybe next year

Have a good time Kaylz

Thanks Carol and you definitely should tell him! 🙂 xx
 
Bit late today, got the roofers in or is it on? A 6.3 on this beautiful morning, not as hot as down south but hovering around the 17/18 degrees, that’s scorching for us northerners! Will mostly be pottering around the garden today as too noisy in the house, saying that all I can hear outside is the roofers radio, tuned into Radio 1, I’m getting old! Have a smashing Saturday whatever the weather brings. 🙂
 
Good morning 4.9 on a glorious day 🙂dropped to 2.9 1 hour later.🙄 Bought electronic kitchen scales to weigh the JB`s,:D reduced my Basal by 2 units the heat seems to reduce my BSL figures.😎

Congratulations on another HS @Hazel.🙂

Have a great HD day @Kaylz.🙂

Great picture @SueEK.🙂

Well done @Grannylorraine.🙂

Enjoy your Saturday folks, stay safe.🙂
 
Hi all, was at 7.5 this morning before work. Sorry I didn't end up posting week 7 of my trip but I ended up binge watching season 3 of Stranger Things!!!
 
Good morning folks🙂

I woke up on 7.2, which was the result of a bleary eyed correction of a middle of the night 2.5. No worries, the onboard Levemir took that down to a more textbook level. Had to get up early because daughter and son in law want a new kitchen, so the kitchen company this morning came to measure up and get the specification sorted. I got son in law to take me over to prevent them ordering marble work surfaces, cos I’m paying:confused:

Now I’ll just sit watching cricket and waiting for the delivery of a new printer, a new painting easel, a set of glass espresso cups, and new coffee beans. All the important things in life:D

And all ordered from Amazon. Wonder if they’ll all come at once? I’ll let you know.🙄

Anyway, it’s a lovely day, so soak up some rays with a glass of chilled Domaine Ramonet Motrachet Grand Cru in your hand, and all will be well.🙂

Apart from your bank balance, it’s £1200 a bottle.😱
 
Delighted with a 5.6 today after yesterday's HS and I didn't use any NovoRapid yesterday! Two 5s in a row will do me nicely. If I can make it a hat trick tomorrow I will be ecstatic! Unfortunately it is not looking hopeful as my mushroom omelette spiked me to 9.0 this morning after 1.5 hrs and still up there at 9.1 an hour later. I normally take 2 units N/R with my omelette and mocha and the consultant said that it must be the mocha, so I had coffee with cream this morning instead and no N/R and I spiked. The only other difference was that I didn't have salad with it because the remainder in the packet had gone slimy.😱
Anyway, I'm out to do some work in the garden and see if that will bring it down.

@Hazel Great that you felt it necessary to prove my point that you are a world champion diabetic and clock up another HS. Congrats.
@Lanny It is wonderful that you are getting so much benefit from your physio appt and the exercises they gave you.... not just in terms of pain relief but also lowered BG levels.... that is a win win situation. Long may it continue.

Thanks @rebrascora !🙂

But, much more testing as it’s a bit unpredictable on BS: gotten to see the pattern now though; new exercises at the start of the week all doses go up then, level off before I need to reduce as it gets easier! 🙄

But, I still get the odd curve ball & misjudged mistakes: Ted, @KARNAK just bollocked me for one the other day; hypo after physio appointment on Wednesday! :confused:😱😳😉
 
@Lanny Yes I saw that, but we all get curve balls every now and then. Having your gear with you to test and treat was why you were "reprimanded" by Ted.... not that he is one to talk having fallen off a donkey the other day whilst on a bender if I recall correctly!!...it may be a case of the pot calling the kettle black! I am really pleased that you are getting some ease though. Constant pain makes life pretty tough.

Delighted to report that some gardening has brought me down to a nice 5.9 but boy is it baking out there!!
 
Oh Lanny nothing personal meant, @rebrascora a good memory you have, put me in my place. Best wishes from donkey o tea.:D
 
@BennyG Thanks for that info but I had a coffee with cream yesterday morning with antipasti for breakfast and my levels were nice and level all day at 5s and 6s. I usually only have one stimulant drink a day and I like it in the morning to get me going. After that I drink mostly water these days, so I am loath to give the coffee up or change the timing of it if I don't have to..... I am an evening person.... happily work till 2 or 3am.... but not good in the morning, so I need all the help I can get when I make it out of the pit!
