Morning, um... well not quite. Glorious day - wall to wall blue and for once no wind!
5.2 at 8 am and I did a screenshot, but on my new phone they don't automatically save. By the time I'd got out of bed and opened the curtains & blind so I could see what the little pop-up said about screenshots it had gone up to 5.3.... grrr. Yesterday was hideous, I think the insulin in my pod had gone off and by the time I went to bolus for lunch, lemon linguine being the only choice on the menu at the cafe that I fancied and it was in front of me BG was 19.4! I couldn't wait to go home and change the pod! I felt it was impolite to my friend though, so stuck it out until 4pm. Probably daft of me. As soon as I changed it with a fresh vial and did a correction it fell quickly into the normal level.
Anyway, by contrast today so far has been wondrous! I got a letter from the retinopathy people saying all clear and then one of the DSNs rang to say they have my new Omnipod 5 pump and was I free to do the training on 29th of this month... so yes I am and here I come Hybrid Closed Loop with the new pump and Libre 2+. Off to have my initial assessment for my 2nd cataract op with Spa Medica this afternoon. Training for the HCL is online via Teams so I am picking up the gear on the way to Spa Medica as we pass nearly by the door of the diabetes clinic.
Congratulations to @everydayupsanddowns, @Martin.A and @Amyfaith on your HSs.
@TinaD you work so hard, you deserve a quick sale.
@eggyg I used to always hang the towels, until this relatively new thing where you don't get clean ones if you do that, only if you leave em on the floor/in the bath/shower.
@Robin glad to hear your daughter is OK and hope the insurance company stump up for the car.
Have a good one all!
