Good morning! Woke from a violent dream to a HS and downward arrow (45 degree not vertical(. Having a small snack the back to bed as early doors physiotherapy.

Cloudy and very cold. BBC said snow on its way so might need skis on the wheels! :rofl:. Limb Fitting has a picture of a one legged snowboarder but took it down as most of here struggling to walk!

Waiting for transport. I didn't check when the alarm went and I got out of bed but when I did it was 6 4 ("Will you still need me? Will you still feed me? When I'm 6 4").

Now have snow (~5mm) and weak wintery sun!

Morning everyone from a very frosty Bedfordshire, zero degrees today.

Anyway it’s a 5.3 for me today and l’m pleased to say I’ve nothing to do so it’s a rest day.

Have a good day everyone and stay warm.

And 20 minutes ago I got a message to say Patient Transport cannot take me today! (Grrr emoji). Surely they must know earlier instead of leaving me waiting like a lemon for hours?!
 
Good Morning, I've surfaced from all my Christmas NY naughties 7.2 this morning to be expected. I think I would really like to be a fruitarian but alas ..... may not be good for BG
I had delicious not BG friendly breakfast of porridge, raspberries and blueberries with ground linseeds heated in the microwave, then added yogurt, coconut milk and mixed up together, delicious. Had to put some fuel in the body to meet the cold icy snow when I ventured out to check bird feeders.
Have a great day everyone, sunshine and cold here, got me some thick cosy thermals for temperatures below 3C :D toasty warm
snowiceJan2025.jpg not as bad as Jan 21 🙂
 
Happy Birthday to all the January babies :D :party: <3

Congratulations to all the happy low / lower BG folk :star::party:

at -5C Mikey I think you are better off in the warm. I expect your roads are treacherous too.

Sorry to hear you been messed about again with patient transport..This country comes to a standstill with an inche of snow .Wished we had some .us depraved folks in the north East coast Welcome back Gwyne
 
Afternoon all - for once it's sunny and not raining here. (No @Lisa65 you are not the only one without snow!).

Was woken at 1:45 to tell me that the insulin in my pod was down to 20u. Turned over, thinking I'd never use that amount overnight. Was woken again at 6am to tell me there was only 0.7u left in the pod???? Didn't think too hard about it, just changed the pod and went back to sleep. On reflection I think I must have dislodged the cannula as I was running high all afternoon and evening so using a lot more insulin which was going nowhere much - certainly not into me! Later when I woke again c. 9:20 I was 7.9.

Off for my B12 injection at 2:40 and then a quick visit to the cinema to book tickets for Nosferatu for next Thu afternoon and home to cook chicken and kale stew with mash - leftover celeriac and potato mash from last night. It involves green lentils and goodness knows what else inc. Butternut squash and there's no carb count on the recipe... we'll see. Will have to weigh all the elements.

Happy Birthday and many more of them @Robin. Hope you feel well enough to have a small celebration later this evening.

I used to work in them - anything up to 12 hours on my feet! My feet are in much better condition these days!

Have a good day all....
 
Good afternoon everyone! 11'9 for me at 5 am, down from 19 at bedtime. Was a bit too cautious with the 2u correction, but I never know, I've had occasions where 1u brings me down 6 whole mmol so didn't want to risk it overnight.

I've finished an insulin cartridge this morning. I believe it's the first one I use up until the last unit, instead of chucking half in the bin after 2 months out of the fridge. It looks like my good luck/ extended honeymoon is over and I have to actually do the work. Well, at least I don't feel like an imposter anymore when I say I have Type 1! :D
 
6.8 for me
not well flu bad

TBF Gen Zers don’t wear heels, trainers all the way, with frocks ( I’m pretty sure they don’t say frock either), skirts, shorts, and even wedding dresses! I think it’s only drag queens and millennials ( my three daughters) who wear sky high heels these days. The rest of us have more sense, or osteoporosis! 😉

Before I left the NHS a few years ago, I learnt to accept that, even though I've always considered myself to be a radical feminist, I was a hopeless dinosaur and still had all kinds of subconscious sexist (and racist and homophobic) attitudes that had been instilled in me as a white, straight, cis male, middle-class Londoner brought up in the 1970s. I did my best to change with the times though and hopefully didn't offend anyone too much.

I don't approve of drag queens: it seems to me that it's an excuse for men to promote sexist and homophobic stereotypes and to make fun of women. The concept's on a par with pantomime dames, as far as I can see. Yes, I know, "It's only a bit of fun" - but that's what they said about The Black and White Minstrel Show.

Hi, you lovely lot from Little Miss GOODNESS KNOWS When I Last Posted!!! :confused:😱😳

It’s been a bit of an up & down treadmill for quite some time now & just trying my best day to day! It just seemed no matter what I did I couldn’t see much improvement in my A1C as it kept fluctuating between lowest 62 & highest 68 all year, the whole time since July 2023 hospital stay, BUT, I forgot that there’s always been a discrepancy between libre predictions & what it ACTUALLY IS. JUST had my hospital review today & since the last one about 6 months ago in the summer it’s gone down from 72 to 62 so, that was a nice surprise! FINALLY all these post Covid years later I’m back down to my pre-Covid levels of 61/62 in 2019! :D

AND WHAT A DRAMA it has been overnight on this Zombie hangover day of my hospital review! 😱😱😱 First of all I had 2 hypos last night & 2 MASSIVE asthma attacks! TMI warning & don’t read this next bit if you’re squeamish!
****************************************************************************************
SO MUCH choking & coughing that I wet the bed twice & had to slowly, recovering breathing, change the bedding twice! 😱 I’ll stop at just one of those but, it’s more like a whole paragraph of several lines of those Munch’s Screams! :rofl:
****************************************************************************************

My BS is still going through patches of unpredictable instability because of the menopause & I just try my best day to day to keep BS as controlled, more like not too excessively UN-controlled as possible, & my BS has been erratically heading south for about a week now so, I WAS thinking of reducing basal anyway! And delayed my tresiba today until after 4pm to ask the hospital team since I was going to see them anyway! So, tresiba winter dose this year WAS at 72, compared to the previous winter dose of 74, & going down to 70 for 3 days: reduce by 2 every 3 days & doctor thinks around 68 would be about right & ADD dinner dose NR by +2 until it’s about right! The doctor gave me a better idea of telling what insulin needs changing by telling me if my hypos happen within an 4-6 hours window & possibly up to 8 hours after NR it’s the NR & if it after an 8 hour window then it’s the tresiba which is a bit more helpful tip added to my DSN’s previous tip of if I’m waking up low it’s the tresiba because most of my hypos, 9 of them this last 30 days of which 7 in the last week, have been in the early hours of about 23:00 to 03:00 after eating dinner & in bed! I sleep & wake late & it’s high when I get up after the sweets & biscuits! My cholesterol finally is at normal levels after being elevated since my July 2023 hospital stay so that’s all to the good even though I’ve put on weight this winter & back up to about 94 kilos which the new consultant, YET another new one & it seems there’s a new one about every 2 years, was diplomatically trying to tell me that “I’ve swelled a bit” which made me laugh & I, in italics, said “let’s call it what it is & it’s fat!” which made HIM laugh! :rofl:

It’s been SLOW, SLOW, SLOW since Covid & the menopause but, BS levels are back to what they were in 2019! And I’m very pleased by that! :D Although I’m still, despite a bit of a loss for few months, a lot heavier & I’ll to keep working on that once it gets warmer in the spring to get that back down! 🙄

I hope you’ve all had a Very G’day Mates & I may post in the morning, if I remember, have a Very Good Morning to you all & A Wonderful Day! 😉 If I forget? 🙄:D
