Are you seriously saying that you are spending five hundred and ninety nine pounds on a blood glucose monitor? There is something very wrong there! They shouldn't be more than £20 tops... in fact you can get a reputable one here https://shop.spirit-health.co.uk/collections/tee2 for £14.99 and it has very reasonable cost strips @ £10.66 for 50.

When I saw that I wondered if it was either a typo or a computer monitor but even for one of those it must be gold plated.

yes it is expensive but the difference is so much better than a normal screen, my vision has been poor for several years and it really helps

That's a relief that you hadn't paid that much for a blood glucose monitor. I hope you actually get it.

Welcome to this thread @Ph1l and Congratulations on your HS.

Been a, largely, quite day with lots of gazing into a laptop screen or a tablet while it's been charging.

My OH has come down with a lurgy and i had to dish out some meds, which I'd only only got a couple of days previously. I'm snuffling too. It might go overnight as is the usual, then again...

There are Libre sensors on Amazon for £90+ so anything seems to go!

00:10 BS 6.4 🙂

An extremely early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Yesterday’s graph looks a bit better but, was crampy for most of the day. Decided to eat more as it seems to help a bit so, ate two meals. Now then, let’s see WHERE my two graphs for yesterday & the last few hours end up?: I’m putting them here where I intend to; let’s see IF it ends up here?



Dozed in bed most of the day as I was quite tired, ate & went to bed properly around 8pm! Couldn’t stay awake for DIP so, I’m now up at this silly o’ clock. Just had a cuppa soup & some cheese twists & will watch DIP now on iPlayer! 🙂

The rest is about cdrama so, you CAN skip it, I won’t know!

Been watching a new contemporary cdrama just started a week called The White Olive Tree about a Chinese female war correspondent who meets a male civilian explosives expert teaching the army of The Eastern Country how to defuse bombs & mines etc. She stood on a mine & he tried to defuse: best he could do was give her 5 seconds & how far can you run in that time; both shaken up but, he shielded her & they both made it!

It seems to be set in some middle eastern country in conflict & quite a large chunk of it is in english as that is the language that the locals, sounds like an Arabic middle eastern language, & the world’s international press & volunteers use to communicate with each other.

It’s a love story set in a conflict war zone & it hits the entire gamut of human emotions more-or-less! I like watching it a lot! 🙂

Yay! It ended up WHERE it should! Now WHY can I not post pictures where I want EVERY time; what’s the knack?

Morning and a 5.7 for me.and decided after Pizza to make a 4u correction dose before bed thinking it may be a little much but a good decision as stayed level in 5s all night and a nice sleep.
We have visitors today coming from Bala (more friends of BiL so they will all descend) and are coming to buy a couple of conservatory chairs.
But my wife has been making Scones and Sausage Rolls so lovely fresh baking smell in kitchen.House will need to be tidied and dogs will go absolutely crazy with excitement when they all arrive.
So posting early as once the whirlwind starts I will be concentrating on doing my list of jobs. Mentioned about going out for lunch but will be governed by how long they all stay and once they get comfy they can be a bit slow at moving on and have known them “ pop in” and still be there 6 hours later.
The dogs love them but after a hour or so of listening to my BiL only talking about himself ( he has Type 2 which is not well controlled) but he insists on trying to give me advice on diet and how it affects his BG and that I should try the same food.I do feel sorry for him as he has had a lot of heart issues which does limit what he can do and he does get frustrated.
Where he worked they had a rule called the 85 rule so if your age and years of service came to that then they offered you a package which he took at age 50 ( had worked as a welder since 15).He is now in early 70s so has been retired for over 20 years but much dogged by il health but had a total different lifestyle from my wife.
Anyway nice to have folk around and there won’t be many scones left.
Have a good w/ end.

Morning all. 6.4 for me before breakfast, after a nice flat day yesterday and overnight. Had to lower my breakfast dose because I was out singing with friends last evening and had a few drinks. Play havoc with BG the following day...

 

[Bloden]

Morning folks. 8.6 here.

Wow, the Omnipod 5 doesn’t seem able to cope LOL! My TIR yesterday was 49%. I’m going to note down my BG before and 2 hours after meals AND my pre-bolus timing for a week or so, just to be clear in my mind that I AM pre-blousing by at least 15 minutes (I am!). As things stand, I’m on the same BG roller coaster with HCL (auto mode) as I was on the Dash (manual mode). I love the fact that auto mode is doing the basal side of things, but I’m reeeeally fed up with this BG roller coaster.

Anyhoo, off to mum’s today - a haircut, a curry with mum, a good old natter, and a nice walk tomorrow morning should blow away my blues.

It’s the weekend!!!!

4.7 this morning.

Just having some breakfast then it will be off to the airport. Won’t have much internet for the first week when we’re on the cruise to the Bahamas but should be able to catch up on the second week when we’re back in Florida. Looking forward to some sunshine!

Take care everyone!

Royal Caribbean from Port Canaveral to Nassau. My wife’s niece is cruise director on the new Utopia of the Seas, so we have got the cruise for nothing as her guests! We’re doing two back to back cruises for a total of 7 days, then once back in Florida we are driving over to Clearwater Beach and staying there for a week - got a nice hotel on the beach which looks good.

Morning all. And I’ve only gone and got a blooming 5.2! Twice! When I woke at 7.15 I reached for my phone it said 4 arrow down. Obviously compression, I waited a wee while but really needed the loo so had to go. Came back and there was the 5.2, as I grabbed a screen shot it literally went to 6.1 before my very eyes. But when I got downstairs it was 5.2 again, and with a fairly straight line, an odd bump 1-2am then a gap about 3/4ish. Weird!

And that’s about the most exciting thing that’ll happen to me today. I’m doing nowt except to have a nice, long, deep bubbly bath where I’ll attempt some deforestation as we’re going away tomorrow to a spa hotel and will more than likely be having a swim/ sauna/jacuzzi and I really don’t want to scare the other guests!

@Eternal422 have an amazing holiday, it makes my Lake District break sound a bit lame. I definitely won’t be getting any warm sunshine. Brrrrr! Looking forward to some photos when you get t’internet.

Have a splendid Saturday everyone.

PS anyone heard from @TinaD? I hope her and her daughter are both fine and they’re just caught up with moving house. Sending best wishes Tina if you see this.

We did a Royal Caribbean cruise many years ago, Liberty of the Seas, we did the Mediterranean from Barcelona. The size of the ships were unbelievable then, I bet the new ones are even bigger now. We had a great time and met some lovely people. It’ll be amazing.

Sounds great! Especially at that cost!!
