7.6 @ 8.44

I'm watching Outrageous Fortune in the background, one of my fave films, luv Bette Midler to bits and Shelley Long is good too. 10/10 for this film. Mum would like it but it's 5Star so no subtitles and she's still snoring anyways .

I agree - great film x

@mum2westiesGill
Because I read that you had a 5.2
Or did I get it wrong?

Unfortunately Michael, Gill woke up on 14.1 and had to have a 4 unit correction. It was her pre breakfast reading following that correction which was 5.2 just like myself this morning.
 
Morning...ok, afternoon🙄

5.9 for me today and then out early to the garden centre to get a few bits for the garden. Today and yesterday Libre said 5.3 when I woke, so I got quite excited, but alas no 5.2 on the finger pricker for me. Lots of traffic heading south, so imagine the beaches and forest are packed today...there will no doubt be a lot of pink people heading home later.

@Bloden I know how you feel, my week has made no sense...today so far appears that I’ve needed no bolus at all and I haven’t even got in the garden yet. Just when I think this day is the day for a tweak I get opposite results...ah well...I’m all out of my favourite green JBs too, I may have to see if there are any in the car.

@goodybags I was where you are today last year, the first year is a toughie, looks like you’ve done very well despite this. I found the days before the first anniversary actually much harder than the day itself, as I think I got myself worked up and dreading it. I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow...the day will come when the happy memories outway the sad ones, although it probably doesn’t feel like it yet. Be kind to yourself.

@khskel so now you have a super spiffy shiny bike are you going to go somewhere on it?

Ok, so I guess I’d better get out in the garden. Hope you’re all having a good day. 🙂😎
 
Oh for goodness sakes!

Tonight I had my weekly takeaway chicken curry.
Now I've learned that this wee beauty doesn't kick in until about 4 hours so I ate first with a plan to inject about an hour later.

You can probably see where this is going.

It was delicious.

My daughter and I then started chatting about all manner of stuff like jobs (please get one), boys (you can start dating when I'm dead) and assorted other things. 2 hours later, we're laughing and joking away about all manner of nonsense - I'm calling her a freeloader and she's threatening to bring home "lads" who own twin-turbo fuel injection cars and to put me in the cheapest care home when I'm in my dotage if she hears any more of my cheek. That sort of thing.

Suddenly I remember that I forgot to inject my bolus (and less importantly my basal). I do a quick blood test and it's 15.0 !!!
And it has BEEN 15.0 for over an hour and a half.
I didn't even notice that I was feeling a bit druggy.
So I injected the bolus and basal.
An hour and a half later it was still 15.0 !!!

Remembering the advice of @helli , I resist the surprisingly strong urge to "rage bolus" and I decided to wait - panicking slightly. Then my druggy brain fog cleared slightly and I remembered my emergency protocol for exactly moments like this and I jumped on my exercise bike and that caused my levels to drop down to a more sane level.

It really is amazing how quickly the fog can settle and leave you struggling to work out what to do despite having solved the exact same problem many times before.

Anyway, that was 3 hours of being at 15.0.
I told my wife my levels were back under 10.0 and she immediately said "Excellent. Do you want your ice cream now?" I almost gave in but thought I'd been high for quite long enough. Maybe tomorrow night.

So, a salutory lesson.
Never forget to bolus if you eat first and never forget to eat if you pre-bolus or rank stupidity may settle in.

What a night that was. 🙂
 
Morning folks from a VERY confused Sue. Went out for our first meal last night. I had smoked salmon and prawn parcel, followed by a scrumptious spaghetti carbonara and 2 Bacardi and diet cokes. Was dreading this mornings reading. I have woken with some acid reflux, tested and 4.7 on one hand and 4.8 on the other. HOW is that possible? I am always in the 6s and 7s. Answers on a postcard please to ‘Haventgotacluewhatsgoingon.com’.
Have a good day all x
 
5.7 this morning and an average for the week too of 5.7. Have a good Sunday wherever you are.
 
Good morning from an overcast, quite dull, cold morning here in Lytham. Its just how I feel this morning. Struggling to get motivated to go out and exercise, but I will go with gitted teeth after breakfast.

And, yessss!!! 5.2 on the nose this morning. Well, that's something good.

And later on I have a delivery arriving. Nothing too special but a tiny bit of tech to soothe my man tech addiction.

Love I am not the only parent, who has these random conversations/banter with my child.
 
Joining @Michael12421 on the 5.9 step, following homemade pizza last night. Just off out for a run, followed by yoga, then site down to watch the Grand Prix.

Congratulations on the HS @Gwynn

Have a good Sunday.
 
Mooooorning! :D 11.9 (eek!) for me.

The sun’s shining out the back of the house but the sky’s brooding out the front. It’s shorts and pac-a-mac for this morning’s walk then - the uniform of the UK staycationer!😎
 
Morning all, gone a bit dull today compared. 7.7 @ 6.03 for me. Got to get Mum to Specsavers today, dreading it. I hate my life. :D

like jobs (please get one)

LOL, that cheered me up! S'funny. :D
 
4.0 for me.
Hit 17st 13lbs today and my target is 16st 6lbs so have lost well over 3st since Nov 2020 :D good steady progress but spending loads on new clothes.

It’s such a shame we can only acknowledge a post with “like”. I hope your day isn’t as bad as you’re anticipating.
 
4.7 for me this morning. 🙂
And congratulations on the House Special @Gwynn

Morning folks. A very surprising 6.1 as was 9.1 at 11.15pm after a curry ( homemade) with rice AND a naan! Naughty but nice.

Sunny but a bit breezy this morning, which I’m ok with as it’s more pleasant to walk in. Otherwise nothing exciting planned.

Congratulations @Gwynn on your HS.

Have a super Sunday everyone. 🙂
