If they would hurry up and deal with the application we could've been bidding! All the available houses closing date is the 4th December though so we have no hope of bidding on any of those, there are 3 in the scheme I'm in just now as well
No chance of being done on Monday, the same lads are doing 2-3 houses a day so will be next Friday at least before the decorator is here to finish off with someone in everyday

8.7 for me this morning but only because I over treated yet another hypo. Starting to think I have a tilt mechanism on my liver.... when I am upright it is spewing out glycogen but once I lie down it shuts off. Had a salmon fillet for supper with some ratatouille with no bolus or basal as per my decision yesterday to try protein before bed. BG went up to 12.2. Woke up 5 hours later on 3.4. Just had 2 jelly babies as I was intending to get up within the hour and didn't want to be too high.... and no real insulin on board to take me lower. Set alarm for 15 mins and went back to sleep. Scanned when alarm went off 3.2. Taking into account Libre delay I didn't take any action other than to set alarm for another 15 mins but still 3.2 then with horizontal line. Decided to do finger prick which only gave me a 3.9 so I had 2 more JBs and went back to sleep. Woke up half an hour later on 8.7 with vertical upward arrow! Arrgh! That will teach me to just have the full hypo treatment of 3 JBs to start with and be done with it! Currently riding the BG rollercoaster... Yippee!
@Lanny Many happy returns, but so sorry that your birthday treat was disappointing. Hope you have other, perhaps none food based, treats to celebrate your day..... You haven't mentioned any virtual golf recently? Are you taking a break from that? Well done on getting back to the exercise. It is amazing how effective it is at reducing insulin needs isn't it! Keep at it girl! The more regularly you do it the more beneficial the effects.
@KARNAK Many congrats on your HS. Can't begrudge you another one TED as you have had so many problems balancing your levels and it is twice as difficult for us insulin dependent's to hit the mark. We should get double points for every one we get and in that case @Kaylz might be out in the lead this year.
@ColinUK Hope those mince pies were worth it! I have a box of 11 here that are getting very stale. I bought them for my sister and her husband as they love Lidl ones but don't shop there and then lockdown happened so I haven't seen her. I had 1 a couple of weeks ago but begrudge the 4.5 units of insulin for it and the BG spike it creates. It was very nice though. Have been very good not to be tempted to have any more but find it so much easier to resist temptation on this low carb diet. I think a treat every once in a while probably does you good though. Good luck with getting back to your shakes plan.

@rebrascora JUST this second finished my final round of 18 holes during a really tough tournament week: was playing in between checking the forum this morning; just thought you folk would be sick of the golf by now & stopped mentioning it! 🙄😳 But, WHAT on earth would I do without golf clash during this horribly boring & strange year?🙄

My Spanish Friday. Over a week ago I emailed my new vet asking for an appointment for Missy - she was 10 weeks over her due date for important vaccinations. No reply so I telephoned a friend and she told mme to message him on WhatsApp which I did and 5 mnutes later he replied and gave me an appoinmnt for Friday at 11.30. Yesterday ws a bleak rainy day with thick fog and my eyesight is still bad and even though leaving the village is still banned I decided to go as there is no vet in this place. That would have been my excuse had I been stopped at the road block. Drove very, very carefully to Baeza but I had only been once before and someone ese was driving. My SatNav had given up the ghost and I got lost!
I parked up and decided to walk around with Missy to see if I could find the clinic. Got absolutely soaked but eventually found someone to ask. Got there with five minutes to spare and she was given all of her injections and I got a good supply of the tablets she needs to take, I was happy that the €119 was within my budget. Got home and decided that this was my lucky day so I messaged the local central heating engineer because my heating has been on the blink for a week and it is very cold here. He sent a message saying that he would be at my house at 7pm. That is the time that I normally hit the sack but ofcourse I waited up and delayed preparing my dinner. No sign of him so at 8pm decided to cook the swordfish and eat. I finished at 9pm which is past the working hours and went to bed. Still no sign of him today.
You win some and lose some.

At least you got Missy sorted. 🙂
6.9 @ 10.20am had to lie in as up all night. A whole week of bad nights, no idea why I've started having sleep problems.
Expecting a high reading tomorrow as today was yearly shopping with vouchers day at Iceland. Retail park was heaving. I don't think we're part of the pandemic in Trafford! We seem to be ignoring it, apart from having to queue to get into the shops. We only just got a disabled parking space, never seen that car park so full.

01:23 BS 5.9 Better & not too low: got the basal reductions right! 🙂
Conked out before the end of Strictly, missing the last two dances & the voting but, more about that on the other thread! 🙄
Had a pretty good day albeit a bit muted but, Birthday was celebrated this year when it wasn’t last year! Had a tough year with the shoulder injury & then, getting ill every few weeks during the Winter & off the forum for ages! 🙄🙂😉
In hindsight maybe it was CV, if not 19 something very similar as my local pharmacist said they’ve never had so many people needing extra inhalers etc. that Winter! Little did we all know that worse was to come this year! Then, I got hit hard with CV in May & a celebration feels good this year! 🙂
Midnight Levemir went in about 1.5 hours late, slept past alarm as I didn’t react fast enough & nodded off again! Just had breakfast & caught up with Strictly on iPlayer! 🙄
Another extremely early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Morning all. 5.3 for me. So near yet so far! Managed to get dressed yesterday and then done nowt! Going to attempt a walk up the garden today. The soft/ sloppy food diet is so boring and just totally alien to what I’d usually eat, apart from the soup. My stomach became very bloated and distended last night which was a bit disconcerting. But appears to have gone down overnight. Still struggling to eat enough calories and am currently losing weight at 1lb a day. I can afford to lose some but after a couple of weeks if it carries on I’ll be getting worried. The problem is I’m adding lots of cream and butter to things but because of my non existent digestive enzymes fatty stuff goes right through me! TMI? I’ve upped my Creon as I’m obviously not eating any fibre either. BGs not doing too bad. I’ve kept my basal as it was but my bolus is very little. No hypos so far but I’m not moving about much. I’ll get there in the end. Have a super Sunday, last one of lockdown, for us lot in England anyways. 🙂

Good morning, 4.8 and flat line all night. Yesterday was a day of stubborn hypos which did not want to go away and then my blood sugar shot up but still in 85% in target. It is probably even higher as my sensor always reads lower than the tests with blood.
I wish you all a good Sunday.
