Same silly performance as when we caught the cross channel ferry. We were relieved of our 7” fruit knife, but those in camper vans with kitchens could take on board any size carving knives!Morning all, 5.1 here, so close!
Lovely photos, @eggyg ! The nearest I got to Lakeland yesterday was the shop of that name. Daughter wants a kitchen knife for Christmas. What a palaver! They are all chained to the shelf with a security widget, so you have to collar an assistant to release one for you, she then takes it and puts it behind the counter while you do your other shopping, so you’re not wandering round with it, then when you go to pay, the checkout assistant has to hunt for it. Then when you’ve paid for it and it’s your property, you’re allowed to be released into the wild with it to wander where you will.
I just got blood taken and the nurse told me I might have to wait another 2 hours. Well, I'll miss some of my long Sunday shift at work. I'd rather be there though: would not be so bored and today I didn't need to wake up early.@Elenka_HM hope you've been seen by now and sorted out.
4.0 for me this morning and most of my sleep in the red again despite no evening basal and no exercise yesterday and no alcohol and I ate loads of roasted peanuts before I went to bed but stayed up half the night during which of course, my levels behaved.
Really struggling mentally again. Didn't want to wake up and deal with diabetes today. When I am struggling with the basics of self care, injecting my Levemir this morning just seemed like an extra ordeal, especially when stats are getting worse. Worrying about what consultant is going to say about all my time in the red. Should be double checking but my Caresens Duo doesn't perform well in the cold and by the time I put it on the storage heater to warm up for 5 mins it means I delay any hypo treatment, so what is the point anyway and it is just extra effort that I have no will for. If I feel hypo I just take it, but I didn't this morning so I haven't despite my levels dropping into the 3s this morning after I got up, instead of rising. I probably need to get some new batteries for the Caresens but it just eats them. It gives battery warning light all the time but it I warm it up, it goes off. This is the second meter I have had from them and they are both the same. Why can't it be rechargeable like my Libre. I asked for Libre test strips a year ago but that didn't happen.
Sorry to be such a moaning Minnie. I really struggle mentally at this time of year and going shopping was such an ordeal yesterday I was ill afterwards and it just sent me back into a downward spiral. I'll be OK after the festive season is over but seems like there is still a long way to go. Must give myself a good lick up the pants!
Many congrats to @Lanny on a rare House Special there. Looks like you have recovered things very quickly after all your Birthday treats!
Sending you hugs and strength to cope with things this time of year. Sometimes BG stuff just happens despite best efforts. Try not to worry about it, it will pass and you’ll be back in your field of unicorn days before you know it.4.0 for me this morning and most of my sleep in the red again despite no evening basal and no exercise yesterday and no alcohol and I ate loads of roasted peanuts before I went to bed but stayed up half the night during which of course, my levels behaved.
