I agree. Strap for Libre was money very well spent. I was a bit apprehensive because Libre don't approve their use but really feel they should because I think it would save them a lot of replacements.
I would have thought that it would make sense for Nikita to use one considering how physical dancing can be and the risk of a dance partner catching it during lifts particularly. Perhaps he wears a strap during training through the week but not for the filming when it might affect the presentation/outfit, although I have to say that looks more like a strap than a shadow to me, but I haven't seen the full footage, just that photo.

I’ve just watched it, no strap just the naked sensor. At least when he was dancing.

Oh dear Patti, that is very worrying. Is it just new medication? Hope you have no more episodes before you manage to speak to GP. I had that thought about it looking square rather than round like a Libre but never thought of it actually being a pump but that would make sense.

It's been over a year long saga of BP meds being changed every few weeks by one Dr after another. I feel like a blooming guinea pig! I can't go on like this though.

You may find the pump will help you. I used to have a hypo every afternoon, but due to being able to suspend the pump have managed to obliterate that.
 
@Pattidevans The only thing is that at 4-5 am there is very little active insulin left in my system from a Levemir injection at 6am the previous morning so I am not entirely sure if a pump would fix it. My body just seems to want to go low through the night at the moment. Hopefully it will be transient as it was last year and I will be back in good control with my MDI soon.

Hope you are able to find a medication that suits you better, or better still that maybe you don't actually need it anyway.

It could be the amount that's been in your body for the 2/3 hour period prior to you going low. On a pump you have to reduce your basal 2 - 3 hours prior to the period where you normally go low. It's a bit of a different science and a learning curve indeed. At the moment I am nothing like the best example as I have too many other issues going on, but under normal circumstances it's far easier than juggling MDI. Actually even under current circumstances it is easier than using MDI as I can do temp basals or even suspend my pump, or indeed increase basals very quickly without having all those hours of a previous injection hanging over me. Sorry.... not being too articulate at the moment. Time to go leave the computer alone and just go sit!
 
:( well that's us without power now xx
 
Seems to be ok now so only just over 2 hours without thankfully,, blooming freezing though! Xx
 
03:52 BS 7.7 Ok! Decent ish after the last of the mint cakes & my 50th Birthday is over! 🙂

Just finished breakfast of normal food, ham & cheese sandwiches, after a weekend of indulgence & saw the Strictly dance off. What on earth happened there? Was it a wardrobe malfunction? I was thinking “THAT’LL make Gordon Ramsey happy; NOT!” 😱

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Just started reading, yesterday, another Jill Mansell book on kindle, I DO like this author’s mix of romance & comedy, The One You Really Want, that’s actually been sitting in my kindle library forgotten since I bought it in 2014: there are some from when I first got kindle, just the app for the MacBook to start with before I bought an actual kindle, from 2009; I tend to buy loads of books at once & it’s sometimes AGES before I get around to reading them, or not! 😳 Especially, in the early days when loads of books were free, or very lowly priced, as loads of new authors tried to establish themselves on the new medium with virtually no publishing costs or risks !🙄 BUT, quite a lot were “lemons” & I ended up reading a LOT of rubbish that first year or two!😱
 
Morning all, 7.2 today and off to the hell hole 🙄🙄
Have a good day all x
 
8.0

And a stinking cold. Sore throat so painful I’m up early to head to Boots as soon as it opens to pick up throat anaesthetic Strepsils and day nurse/night nurse tablets.

I’ll walk the quiet streets to get my steps in whilst I’m out.

Went to bed at 9:30 last night shivering and woke up at about 5 in a cold sweat. It is just a cold although it’s clearly a belter.
 
Good morning Monday 6.1 today
have a great day everybody
 
Good morning. After an overnight spike and a 2u correction (always at 2.30am-3.30am) woke to a 7.5.

Off to work soon. Dreading the drive there this morning. I don't like driving when its icy.
 
Good morning everyone. Up late again. It's becomming a habit!

BG 4.7. I seem to have got stuck in the 4's. No problem with that. Thank you pancreas for working ok.

Self isolation day 8 and, thankfully, all is going well.

And, just to bore your socks off, the new App update, which took me 2 days, has gone really well. I added another meal time and called it 'midnight feast'. It covers any nibbling I may do late at night. It was a bit tough as the App revolves around meals, so pretty much most of it was affected.

Bore time over.

I will order a new tablet cover for my wifes tablet today. Big spender! Her present one constantly falls down. Well, that will be todays excitement. Can't wait. Ok, just a stocking filler (although a bit too wide for a stocking).

Glad the storm is over. Is it icy out there? I used to hate driving when it was icy, or foggy, or both.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
