Morning

10.something for me today, I went onto live chat with Scottish Power before 3pm yesterday, ar 3:22pm I sent a message explaining the reason for contact hoping that when I did get a reply it would speed things up, just after 5:30pm still nobody had gotten in touch and I needed to nip to the loo (I hadn't been since 11:30am and it's pretty chilly here just now), I come back as they are sending a message at 5:37pm saying they haven't heard from me for a while so they were ending the chat, they had only responded initially at 5:34pm! So I wait over 2 and a half hours to get a response and they can't even wait 3 blooming minutes! 😡 Bruce eventually got through to them on the phone after almost 2 hours waiting, the previous guy had said it took £16 off the first top up for the standard meter charge, yesterday Bruce put £30 on at it took £21 off straight away, first guy was havering and it's taking the money off to pay for the debt that was on the meter before we took the tenancy on! He was able to add me to the account on the phone as well (they wouldn't allow it over live chat or email) so I can now stop pretending to be him and sort things out while he's at work comfortably now which I will be when they open, wish me luck! xx

What a cheeky way to try and get their money back @Kaylz! Get on that phone as soon as they open. Good luck!
 
9.8 this morning. Not overly surprised as there was an impromptu birthday party here yesterday evening and I obviously underestimated the home made cake. In my pre Gabapebtin life a few glasses of wine would have nipped it in the bud!
 
6.6 for me this morning after another 2 unit basal reduction last night. I had rather too many dips into the red yesterday and maybe I should have reduced my morning dose too but I have stuck with my normal dose as I think my evening reduction will impact this morning's levels and I can reduce my bolus tonight if I start dropping.

Played another blinder with today's Wordle and got it in 3 again.

@eggyg Many congratulations on a second unicorn in a row. Wow, you are on a roll!! Serious respect!

In the queue, they only open at 9 and I phoned at 9:01 🙄 xx
 
whoop i finally got a meter.
i went to bed at 7.4 and woke up with a 6.8 before breakfast.
so far all my before meal readings have been in the 5-7 "normal" range which is positive i guess.

Not going happen this next 24 hours. Dipped into the red already, bolused for breakfast, got distracted! It wasn’t for long so “they” might let me off! 😉
 
Well 57 minutes and 12 seconds later they can only give £82.73 of it to us just now as Bruce's top up from yesterday hasn't registered on the account yet so I've to go through this all again probably tomorrow 🙄 xx
 
Morning all and it was a 4.2 for me. Lots of red overnight but not too worried as this sensor reads a bit low at the bottom end. Took my time in range down to 93% which still isn't too shabby.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Well, where to start?

Catch up with the ISVA yesterday.
My SOIT officer is on extended leave (probably to do with his dad being quite ill) so there’s been no communication from the Met for a while.
ISVA spoke with the officer in charge (OIC) who said that the northern force who were going to arrest and interview the suspect now say that they can’t spare the personnel to do that. So he’s going to go up North and conduct the interview himself. Clearly that’s going to add further time to the delay and the expectation is that it’ll be done within the next 2 or 3 months.
He’s said that he’s open to me contacting him directly if there’s anything I want to talk to him about but I think I’ll just keep things going via my ISVA.
I do understand the delays and I’m sympathetic but the emotional rollercoaster it causes is unparalleled.

Took myself back to bed for a couple of hours after that call and then was really craving comfort food so went and bought two cinnamon swirls, a baguette, some soft pittas. Ate the lot over the course of the day with added nuts, chocolate and a lump of Brie.

In the evening I had a long (2 hour) ISVA support Zoom call last night which is open to anyone who’s engaged with the ISVA team at Survivors and that was useful as it was a way to offload some of the frustrations.
That segued straight into my first Dungeons and Dragons call (also from Survivors as it’s a therapeutic tool) where we went through the tech to play online and built my first character.
He’s a man sized dragon without a tail or wings but he’s about 6ft 8 tall. He’s a Rogue which basically means a bit of a thief and rascal and they’re apparently usually quite dexterous and tiny. I’ve given him the lowest dexterity score possible and he’s also quite dim. But he has massive charisma so can charm people he meets.

I’ve yet to come up with a name for him but I’m leaning towards something based on a dragon from myth. Perhaps Tarascon from medieval France perhaps.

I also need a picture of a sort of Errol Flynn as if he was a dragon type character apparently!

Oh and mum’s off to have her second cataract op done today and I’ve booked my appointment for my next HbA1C bloods to be done in a couple of weeks.

And my wobble board arrived yesterday. Much harder than I thought it would be!

Anyways, after all that stress and copious amounts of unwise food choices I only went and clocked up a 5.2 this morning!
 
Morning all, another beautiful day.

8.4 this morning. Not surprising really. We had a really busy day yesterday and have run out of "ones I made earlier" in the freezer, so picked up a pre-prepared chicken tagine + 2 chocolate pots from Tesco. I had approx 1/4 of the tagine with some boiled new pots, broccoli with a topping of sour cream and chive dip and buttered leeks, plus one of the choccie pots. I bolussed for the meal but found myself hypo approx 30 minutes after I finished - must have been fat in the tagine slowing things down??? Anyway the hypo was one of those that continues to give and handfuls of JBs, a ginger cookie and 3 Dextrose later I went to bed on 5. Continued to rise through the night, then came down a tad. Arghhhh!

@Kaylz I feel your frustration I really do! Been there and got the TShirt. Rinse and repeat yesterday about a missing Clinique parcel, hours waiting for someone to answer chat, only to get an anodyne response which didn't help. Hope things go better for you today. I really don't know what has happened to "customer service" these days.

Have a good day today everyone.
 
hey all. 17.9 😡
Still no sensor on so not sure if it was dawn or the rice kept on giving last night after I went to bed (or both). Smaller rice portion next time.

Anyway this morning has been filled with corrections and sorting out the sideboard which is full of tech and cables. Its being replaced so its been sat in the middle of my living room needing emptied for a week+.
Will need to order a bunch more cable ties today and get son to help me tidy them all up and put them away in a different storage unit over the weekend.
Feeling a bit knackered after all that.

On a plus, correction has got me back down into the 8s which I am sorta getting used to now. No longer false hypoing at this level and feeling "normal" 🙂

Hope everyone's day is going well. x

Congrats on the HS @ColinUK especially after the day you had.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.4

Appointment with the practice nurse this afternoon. Should be an interesting talk about cholesterol/statins

Before that a nice walk on the beach...well, exercise walk.

After the appointment I am making a cheese and tomato and mushroom pizza for team. Nice.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
And a 4.7 this morning and that's after a 19.6 at bedtime last night - must have been the macaroni milk pudding I had.......:(.......no more milk puddings, well at least not a full tin.

Honestly it's ridiculous, on Monday the guy on the phone wouldn't let me know anything as we'd forgotten to put my name on the account (despite me starting the account for Bruce through live chat) he told me Bruce would need to send an email stating he wanted me on the account and that would be done but they emailed back yesterday wanting it in written form! He explained it needed to be done ASAP as he can't hang around for hours seen as he works but they weren't having any of it, seriously who's going to want to hang about hours for something that's nothing to do with them so not like I was trying to steal information or anything, they could add us to the priority register because of my Type 1 via live chat but he couldn't add me to the account after that was done, thankful he actually got through on the phone last night and was able to get my name on it

Really would've preferred not having to go through it all again but hey ho

Hope you find out about your missing parcel soon xx
