Very good point, Barbara. I can't remember having to do it back in the Spring, but then sometimes, these days, I can barely remember what I did yesterday. 😱Dez, don't you also have the clock on your BG meter to change? Probably less critical for you than those of us on insulin and needing it for driving but if it's not right when you claim your next HS it will cause a stewards enquiry😉.
I hope you feel better soon @Grannylorraine. Big hugs to you.8.2 but that will be the bar of chocolate I ate yesterday.
Still not feeling great, no energy and dizzy spells, daughter is coming over later to help set up for tomorrow's Halloween hunt party, hoping seeing my grandchildren will buck me up a bit as I feel so low, just want to cry. Might try a short walk despite the rain as apart from the hospital not been out of the house in a week now, hopefully my son will come with me.
@ColinUK - I have the same conversations with myself about running in the rain.
Have a good Saturday everyone.
I have been getting very lumpy & bumpy in my stomach for quite a while now: remembered bringing it up at my last face to face app. with the hospital team when it first started happening back in the autumn of 2019 before Covid! The nurse checked the area & just said to rotate the sites more often & use the thighs as well; I’ve done that these last couple of years but, it’s gotten even bumpier! That’s why I keep my upper arms for NR & use stomach & both thighs for LR!6.7 this morning probably due to the glucose tab and half biscuit consumed at 5am due to Libre waking me with a 4.2 warning.
@Lanny thanks for explaining LR. Regarding blocked needles, could it be your flesh resisting the large doses rather than the needle being blocked? If I were injecting 96u I think I would be tempted to split it into three injections rather than two. Back when I was on MDI I used to inject LR into my buttocks. Approx 3 years after I had gone onto a pump and not used a buttock for all that time I went to see a physio, who was massaging that part of my anatomy and told me it was "lumpy" she gave it a good massage and sonar treatment. I spent the rest of the day hypo as she had released pools of stored insulin that had accumulated there. I know another person who had the same problem, unbelievable as it is that insulin could be stored in the body that long. So with your large doses I am wondering if it's not being absorbed perhaps?
@eggyg don't feel that using ready made puff pastry is "cheating" even michelin star chefs use ready made puff pastry!
Haha love this xD Always happy to provide some unintentional amusement 😛 My friends also seem to think I’m hilairious sometimes and I’m never sure why@Telemóveis sorry I can't help but laugh at your posts, I see "greetings" and in my head pops an alien voice saying it haha xx
