Just a quick question for all you Jelly Baby murderers out there. How do you eat yours? Whole or bite off their heads, a quick death or a slow nibble from the feet upwards

If I am eating/ killing JBs I am not in a position to worry about their health. My only decision is how many do I need, and that is hard enough.
 
6.8 this morning. I reflected this morning that I would have felt that was too high for me a year ago. Now that I can see it is following a flat line overnight, and I have had no hypos for two months I am content. A better balance and less of a roller coaster. Nothing I have done just Humphrey (the pump) doing its job and autocorrecting. Not just good for me physically but massive difference emotionally in my attitude towards my Diabetes!!!

Keep cool today and enjoy the rain that they are promising.

I was 6.5 at bedtime. Had a stressful day yesterday as I nad to get Missy to the vet in the next town. What with that and still a bit nervous about driving it all took its toll.

Hopefully your numbers have improved. As I said earlier, please look after yourself and let us know how you are doing

Did you have some carbs before bed without bolus seen as you were only 6.5? Hope both you and Missy are ok xx
 
Morning all. It seemed to go cooler overnight but it's boiling again now, I've had to give up on the weeding. 7.3 @ 7.58 🙂

Congrats @mage 1 🙂 I want a one of those.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂 hope you're all ok
6:17am 7.0 for me and in my target range 🙂 16u of tresiba taken - hope it's ok to take it a bit earlier than the usual time of 7am - 7:30am ish
23:29pm 3rd bedtime test and 15 minute hypo check - 6.2 back in my target range after a double hypo and 2 lots of 3 jelly babies - still below 8mmol so had 1 bag of mini choc chip cookies 13g of carbs
23:11pm 2nd bedtime test and 15 minute hypo check 3.4 - why has it dropped lower? If anyone knows please let me know. Had 3 more jelly babies
22:49pm bedtime - a bit over 4 hours since teatime bolus and starting eating - 3.7 hypo but didn't feel hypo - had 3 jelly babies

I would love some feedback/comments on my post if anyone has any time 🙂

I injected 2 units of NR because I ate a large pasta meal before retiring.

I know you don't want to but I'd really suggest testing 2 and 4 hours after eating your evening meal even if you have gone to bed set a couple of alarms, would only take a minute tops to test then go back to sleep if all was ok, most of us wouldn't dream of going to bed with active insulin like that on board and it clearly isn't working for you either and it's really concerning, I'm not meaning to lecture you but you are worrying us with this recent low waking levels again xx
 
A very nice 5.7 this morning but injected 2 units of Fiasp late last night or should I say early this morning when my levels were 6.9 rather hoping I was going to have a small 10g carb treat before bed as I hadn't eaten much all day. I sat losing time on You tube waiting for levels to show signs that the insulin was working and after 3 hours I gave up and went to bed. Flat line all the rest of the night around 6 which is lovely to see but would rather not be injecting QA insulin at that time of night. My 6 units of basal is otherwise holding me steady and despite sleeping in and being late with my morning Levemir my levels are holding amazingly steady in the morning. It's just around 10pm-1am I seem to need 2-3 units of QA to keep the ship level.... just weird! I even went out and had a midnight walk last night (it was so much pleasanter than during the day) to see if that would help and it still ate up those 2 units without me getting my snack. Went to bed on 6.3 and woke up on 5.7. I could never have the confidence to manage this without Libre. Going to bed with active insulin on board and no carbs on a reading of 6 is so counter intuitive/positively scary even (especially in this heat) but the pattern is repeating night after night and I think I am getting progressively better at dealing with it.

Many congratulations to @Lanny and @mage 1 on achieving the nominated optimum waking reading. ie an House Special.

@Micheal12421 Very concerned about your morning reading. You have had a few lows again recently so maybe another basal reduction wouldn't go amiss. Hope Missy is OK? It sounds like she needed quite urgent treatment which is always worrying. Please update us on her progress when you can and please do more testing in this hot weather.

@freesia and @Bexlee. Hope your last day goes smoothly and you enjoy your hard earned break!

@eggyg Sounds like you are getting back to more normality with all those social engagements lined up. The cool liquid diet sounds good!! Have one for me please as I am having a spell off from alcohol because I suspect it was becoming too much of a habit.

Barbara, I’ll never be normal! 😉 Can you believe I’m on a bus! Yep, had a lovely meal, penne salmone, nice and light. Two huge glasses of wine. Slightly tiddly on a bus for the first time since Adam was a lad!
 
@eggyg Wouldn't dream of ever suggesting you are normal Elaine. Super human would be more appropriate.

I would need to be tiddly to get back on a bus after my last journey on one.... which was many years ago. Not sure if it was running behind schedule (maybe that's how I caught it as I am always late!) but the driver just seemed to spend the whole route braking and accelerating and I felt like I had to hang on for dear life even whilst seated. Getting up for your stop was taking your life in your hands because he swooped into the bus stop and then stood on the brake. I am fit and healthy and had 2 hands to hang on with and still felt at risk of going flying (worse than riding Rascal!!) so I can't imagine how little old ladies with a bag of shopping to hang onto, would manage. I will confess that I am not a comfortable passenger in a car unless I have confidence in the driver but that bus journey was not conducive to a return trip.
Are you heading home on the bus or out somewhere else?

My theory about my Fiasp having gone off in the heat has been debunked. Had some lunch today and by bolus was quick and effective, so pleased I didn't bin that cartridge. I guess my body is just needing more basal between 10 and 1am at the moment and the only way to deal with it is to inject some extra Fiasp.

I was on my way home. I didn’t even know what time it was due, it’s an out of town bus, I just happened to get to bus stop as it pulled up. Thank goodness as I was melting! I’m not designed for this weather. Home now with a cold can Diet Coke and my shorts on, in the house!

Good morning 🙂 No HS for me today, it's an 8.4! 😱 Actually, the 'original HS was 5.6 or 5.8, as that was the number most meter manufacturers used to put on the cover of the packaging, presumably to suggest to people that was the likely result you would get from a test when using their meters regularly - might have alarmed too many people if it said 12.5 or something 😱 @KookyCat decided 5.2 was the optimum :D @KookyCat also didn't (doesn't!) like numbers ending in zero, so, for example, a 6.0 would have to be announced as a 6.<cough> :D She was great fun and I missed her when she stopped posting, although maybe she is still reading - I hope all is well with her

I’m still here, I just lurk more these days 🙂. Not intentional lurking, I tend to start replying to something and get distracted. Hope everyone is OK. I still cherish the house special it’s just the perfect reading so well done x
