Glad you got it sorted @Kaylz I've heard they are really helpful but I've always been too scared and just bought new sensors. Did it fall off randomly?

Don't be scared! They are lovely, in the 2 years I've been using the Libre I've had around 6 replacements, the one a fortnight ago came off in my bed 6 hours after putting it on and this Saturday's one lasted a few minutes after activating and it was hanging off xx
 
4.3 for me this morning and a JB a few hours earlier to keep me out of the red and get me there, so I am not too unhappy about that as I can hopefully dial back my evening Levemir by half a unit tonight.

@Michael12421 So sorry to hear about your accident. Pleased to hear you and Missy got away with it reasonably unscathed and no one else was involved and it sounds like the car isn't too badly damaged. Do keep a close eye on those BG levels. No idea why they are dropping but it is the "season for change" with basal requirements, so you may need to consider a reduction in your Toujeo if it continues. Hope the soreness and discomfort wears off soon and the car isn't too expensive to make roadworthy again. Pleased that a "Good Samaritan" stopped to make sure you were OK and got home safely.
 
Happy Monday its a glorious day here woke to a 6.6 this morning
have stuck the 1 left revolting courgette into a soup with tomatoes
onions, garlic and tumeric hate to waste food so hope it turns out
nice have a nice day all (tut tut getting too American 😎)
 
@Gwynn - I have sent you a private message. If you do not know, private messages are signalled by a number against the "envelope" icon in the bar at the top of the forum. Click on the envelope to read it.
 
@Gwynn and @ColinUK hope you’re both ok. Life is s**t sometimes isn’t it? I can’t comprehend what you are going through @Gwynn but to see a loved one change so much must be heartbreaking. I echo @adrian1der thoughts about online help for you, as a “ carer”, you don’t mention family, does your wife have siblings/ cousins who could help? Even a phone call.

@ColinUK I get the “ not feeling it” feeling. Never felt like this before the pandemic, never realised how anxious a person I was before the pandemic either. We’ve all had to adapt to new ways and I’m not sure we’ll all adapt back. I felt a bit “ flat” today as I was excited about going out but the weather put paid to that idea. So I messaged four friends instead whom I haven’t seen for over a year and we’ve had a laugh and it cheered me up no end. I’ve made plans with one to drop off a bag of books in her porch tomorrow, she lives in another town so haven’t been able to do this for a while, and she’s going to leave a bag of books for me.
With the other three I’ve made plans to have them and their partners over for a BBQ after 17th May. I think having something to look forward does help. Also booked a couple of nights in our favourite Lake District hotel for Mr Eggy’s birthday at the end of June. Just gently chipping away.

I’m off out now for a blustery walk to the Coop, haven’t left the house since Saturday. It’s not exciting but it’s something. Take care both. X

Sometimes something is revolting no matter what you do, we had bought frozen sprouts with chestnuts (which I would usually never do) and they were horrible so I turned them into soup with some other veg, it was still horrible and it went down the sink.
Hopefully your concoction will be better. Enjoy!!!

I know what you mean. I quit the forum for a few weeks last year after a run-in with another member. I had the temerity to question whether their diet, which included things like baked potatoes and Rice Krispies, was really low carb. Got stung by their response, so much so that it sent me on a downward spiral (it happens now and then, and sometimes the most inconsequential things can trigger it) and a week later I still wasn't in a good place. It was only after Mike noticed that I'd gone missing and got in touch that I felt able to come back.

I know exactly how you feel when comments are made when you're just trying to help. I had a job I loved until I had a new manager who seemed determined to undermine me and anything I did by the snide comments he would make and then say Oh couldn't you tell I was joking, well no I couldn't. Everybody said I changed, I just had no confidence in what I was doing anymore and felt bullied and completely stressed. I would go home and just burst into tears and that was just not me at all.
I had worked beyond retirement age so it was time to go, nearly 3 years ago now. But it still winds me up when I think of it.

That’s why I tend to pepper my posts with so many emojis as I’ve been hurt before by trolls on other TV based message boards, the only ones I had experience of before joining this one, & I NEVER want anybody to misconstrue any post of mine when I see the brighter/funny side of life! Not that I can’t be serious but, you’ll know I am if there’s little or no emojis in a post! I’ve said before that in the absence of all face to face contact & all that that conveys there is only the pure thought, in text, left on forums. More than anything else what I think is what I am & to have THAT being attacked by disrespectful comments etc. is deeply hurtful on a personal level! So, I make sure my feelings behind my posts are put across clearly especially, if I’m looking at the funny side of things!

I quite liked the frozen sprouts with chestnuts but really only when shoved around a lump of beef and roasted in the oven.
That said I won’t be rushing to buy them again.

As I said a little while ago when someone said they’d served kale - fry it in butter, it’s easier to scrape it from the pan into the bin!

Cut fresh sprouts in half, fry them in butter until they are caramelised (makes them sweet), then add chopped bacon and chestnuts.

Regrettably there are a lot of individuals who feel better/cleverer by putting others down. Their get out of jail card is, “I was only joking.” Not very nice.

5.5 at 4am this morning but up most of the night because my wife is not so good, is having deeper paranoid thoughts and is sinking into diabetes. It won't be long before she begins to think I am trying to poison her at this rate ( I or anyone else, hence why we have no friends left now). Been there before. Sadly last time she ended up being sectioned.

She has progressed as far as thinking that I am forcing her to take her medicine (which she thinks is a poison) that she hates, and tinkering with her food. Neither of which is true. But the truth is irrelevant to her, only the suspicions reign in her mind.

If only she could let go of the 'bad' thinking.

So sad because when she is well she is really lovely.

Sad because we had another terrible evening and night.

I dread to think what today will bring.

I wish she would take her diabetes seriously but she won't. She just ignores it.

Sigh, this is so hard and so sad.

@Gwynn, i'm so sorry your wife isn't well atm. It must be so hard for you to deal with by yourself. Do you have any support from outside agencies for your wife AND yourself? Keep posting here even just to have a bit of a rant when its a bad day.
