Morning all - rather than grey, today is a more cheerful blue and white Cornish sky.
4.4 this morning, dropping quickly to 4.0 and an alarm. 2 Dextrose and half a stem ginger cookie shoved it up over 9. Interesting to see how sharply it rose! I seem to be very carb sensitive.
Today is "Wobbly Wednesday" when locals get a discount on drinks in the local, so as usual we shall be meeting up with our group of friends there early evening for an hour or so of chit chat and laughs. Dinner is left-over lasagna from yesterday (which was deliciously different - thank you Mary Berry). I might make a banana loaf today. I've got a load of uncooked fresh lasagna sheets left over. Might cut them into strips and make a tagliatelli dish tomorrow.
Congratulations to @eggyg and @mashedupmatt on your HSs.
I too remember the Fork handles!
Have a good day all...

To be honest I never thought it learned enough in the 6 months I gave it. My feeling was that it was a badly written piece of software.
Rather than correction doses, which once they're in they're in, did you consider doing temp basals, which can be switched off if not needed any more?

4.3 today for me. No evening Levemir but spent a couple of hours in the red last night and no DP or FOTF this morning so got to eat breakfast straight away followed by a JB as dropped back into the red.
Had another frustrating day yesterday as the ponies from the field above had pushed through the fence in with mine. My horses were not happy at all as they have always lived together as a family and are very protective of their little herd. I am particularly concerned about Rebel as he sees it as his job to repel any invaders and he hasn't recovered from pulling a tendon last year but nevertheless, he was charging across the field which is fast turning into a quagmire chasing these two ponies away from his family. He is an old man now at nearly 28 and it isn't good for him to be putting his body through that! My car is still out of action so I had to walk another mile up to the house of the guy who rents the field only to find that he doesn't know whose ponies they are because he sub lets which is totally contrary to the rental agreement. I had to haul extra haylage up the hill to keep my horses and their ponies separate and then haul a roll of pig wire all the way up the hill from home to patch the fence where they had broken through and then wait for the owners of the ponies to turn up because their field gate was padlocked and so was mine and there was no way I could get their ponies back through the gap.
When the guy came to catch them, Reb decided he was going to protect the humans from the invaders too so he kept herding the ponies away from the guy that was trying to catch them and then Rascal decided to join in and this guy was nearly sent flying by my two lads in tag team mode! It was dark by then and getting quite dangerous because hooves were flying and the field is ankle deep in mud in places and keeping your footing on a muddy slope isn't easy. Hopefully the ponies have learned that they are not welcome and will not push through again. I wouldn't care but they have a massive field with plenty of grass and there is nothing in mine apart from what I carry up for my horses. Anyway, I got plenty of exercise yesterday and hence my overnight low and lack of FOTF this morning! Onto my second jelly baby of the morning since getting up!

6.1 after another night in the 6s.
This mornings cloud has given way to sunshine and intermittently blue sky/white clouds, the breeze is still cold but has dropped somewhat as discovered when I had a walk down to the bottom of the alley, discovering my bin was now empty, I brought it back. Amazingly that it hadn't been interfered with by our neighbour!
OH was on top form when we rose earlier, she's asleep now on the sofa.
Tried to contact EE earlier but was given the runaround by the website/app.
I managed to cancel the order with them - what's the point of going over to them is if they're not accessible? I'll upgrade the BT account to something more fitting.
