No word on that. I’m hoping the Pfizer but I’ll not refuse the AZ.

Too right! I’d not refuse any. Apart from one knocked up by a mad scientist who lives in a really spooky castle perhaps.

Emailed the council yesterday to enquire about our application, it was passed on to Bruce's housing officer and she's emailed the team that deal with it to see if she can get an answer as to what the hold up is, says she'll keep me updated so fingers crossed she sticks to her word!

Fingers crossed for you @Kaylz, hope she gets back to you soon. If not, keep emailing x
 
Well I was 7.0 when the alarm went off. Got up, went to the loo and then decided I needed more sleep. Jabbed myself my Levemir and 1 unit of Fiasp as FOTF was kicking in and I was already at 8.1 after just 5 mins. Went back to sleep almost immediately and woke up an hour later on 3.5 (finger prick was 3.9), so my FOTF reversed when I took them off the floor again... not only that but normally it would kick in and I wouldn't need any hypo treatment to bring me up before injecting for breakfast but of course it didn't today as I had confused it. (@Maca44 I am with you, lying in is just a bad plan and I should know better) Thankfully I didn't bolus straight away as levels didn't come up naturally with FOTF and I had to have some hypo treatment after all... but really should have had it half an hour earlier!
I just seem to be too low or too high these days and not much time in the "in range" middle bit. Even just 10g carbs for a hypo can send me to the other extreme so I am becoming reluctant to treat them with the full 15g or even treat them at all if I think they will resolve naturally. I know this is not good, but just sick of yoyoing!

I got my invitation letter to book a jab at a hub last week but couldn't get an appointment when I first tried and was contemplating waiting for my GP surgery to invite me there.... Got a phone call yesterday from them and I have my jab booked at the practice for 4.35pm tomorrow. Don't know which one but will be happy with whatever they provide. It is a step in the right direction in my opinion, maybe more a mental step than the huge progress we had all hoped for but anything which gives a promise of improvement in the current status quo is a good thing.
 
@rebrascora that sounds like a messy morning!! Glad it ended with a successful booking for your jab!
@ColinUK i mis read your post as you getting ‘knocked up by a mad scientist!’ I thought the date had really progressed!!!
@HenryBennett the John Taylor sock story is ...... a friend is his gardener and he spotted a pair of socks in the utility, lovely Woolley Purdey ones and they were slipped into his bag and delivered to me! Saw them last play in Cardiff when I was lucky to get free tickets courtesy of John as my gardener friend had told him of my fan interest!! Seal was the support Act! Fabulous evening !!!!
It’s snowing in Somerset!!! Brrrrrrrr
 
Good afternoon 3.1 at 07:00 2 lifts, 2 JB`s and 2 Rich Tea biscuits then back to bed,

I am just frustrated because I am going through a bad spell and my Libre stats are poor compared to when I was at 95% "time in range" over Christmas. It will pass and I will get things under control again. Just got to keep trying and figure out a way round it or wait for whatever is causing it to resolve....
My gut feeling is that my bolus insulin, Fiasp, is part of the problem and I may end up going back to NR again as I am just not getting the benefit from it that I had hoped particularly with corrections which sometimes just seem to have no effect at all, but if I get a bit too frustrated and add in an extra unit, I drop into hypo land and then bounce back up into double figures again. It's nothing desperately bad at either end, no really high highs or really low lows, just not able to achieve a balance at the moment.
There are people far worse off than me.... I'm just having a bit of a moan, but thanks for being so empathetic.

Moan moan moan!
That’s actually something you never really do so feel free and moan away 🙂

And you’ve been through the mill yourself so maybe it’s stress related raised BG?

Morning good peeps. :D 6.4 here.

Well, I finished the hat I was knitting for a friend, but the colours are really bland and childish, which doesn’t describe my friend at all! So, back to the drawing board. 😳🙂

Can you add a brightly coloured flower?
 
@Kaylz hope you get a positive response and soon x
@MeeTooTeeTwo glad you are up and running at top speed now x
 
I’m an idiot, posted too early. @SaraKaya now if the socks had been David Cassidy’s I would have fought you for them lol x
Got given a lateral flow test at work which I have to do twice a week, won’t say no thank you very much. Perhaps there are some advantages to working in an old, filthy, germ ridden 1960’s huge surgery 🙂
 
Thanks for all your support and kindness. Hope I don't comfort eat my way through this negative season.

On the plus side a 5.2 for me this morning.

Enjoy the rest of this snowy day!

Chin up @rebrascora I'm sure you will sort it out. And you are always free to moan away as much as you like. You'll find plenty of sympathetic ears here
