Morning all. 6.7 about an hour ago when Zara decided it was time to get up. Can’t complain, she’s slept right through. She’s now eagerly awaiting her porridge cooling down.
Unfortunately, it’s wet and miserable and expected to remain so all day. We’ve borrowed daughter’s car and thought we’d go somewhere nice for a walk with her but it’s not looking hopeful.
Have a nice day. 🙂

Good morning everyone.
It is looking a bit grey out there but with signs of the sun peeking through.
BG 5.3 very happy with that.
BP 128/78 ok ish. Slightly elevated
Pulse 53 as always, low
Today exercise, exercise, exercise
I may possibly make a steak and kidney pie, maybe tomorrow. This time though I will make my own pastry rather than use the shop bought roll stuff. Should be fun.
Have a great day today whatever you are doing

Morning all. 🙂 6.5 here...the tweaks seemed to have worked, but what with the clocks going forward tomorrow my success’ll probably be short-lived. 😉
Must do some lesson planning today - I’ve been acting as if the Easter break had already started!
Enjoy the weekend folks. 🙂

Good morning 6.6 today
bungalow renovations have started, having finally completed on the purchase last Friday,
yesterday builder and heating engineer started replacing all radiators, and loads of the pipe work, fitting a programer / thermostat
We have a roofer coming out this afternoon (fingers crossed that it’s only the flashing around the dormer window)
but waters been pouring in under the windowsill whist we’ve had rain this week (I can certainly see why that wall in the upstairs has been wet and some time of the timbers damaged / rotten)
My wife & I are clearing up the mess they are making, and we are currently on walpaper removal
(steamers & scrapers) all layers back to the plaster, some of which will want attention.
Ive been left inductions to (after wallpaper removed) start marking the channels ready for the cable runs down to electric sockets after they’ve finished the plumbing they start on the rewire
we will be having an en-suite (including bath) constructed up-stairs
and the bath replaced with walk in shower / bathroom renovated downstairs
hopefully within a month, enough work will have been done so we can move in
(loads will have to go into storage)
then we stop paying rent where we’re living at the moment (currently we’re paying double on all bills Inc council tax etc)
fingers crossed it’s good news from the roofer.
have a great day everybody 😎

6.3 this morning from a fingerprick test - my sensor decided it had enough at about 1am and just dropped off my arm.
It was a couple of days short as it was due to be replaced tomorrow evening. Never had that before, not caught it (knowingly) and up to then seemed to be stuck nice and firmly. Usually I get some adhesive residue left behind on my arm when I remove them, but not for this one. Looks like the adhesive just dried up and gave out. Not really concerned given it was due to end tomorrow evening anyway, but decided that I should still report it to Abbott on their online form otherwise they will never be aware of any issues.
So, earlier than planned start this morning, showered, having breakfast and then new sensor before heading out for the day. We have a few errands to run today, nothing exciting, but after being indoors most of the week getting out for anything is good!
Shoulder is still behaving, yesterday evening’s chiropractor visit hopefully helped a bit more. Agreed to leave it a month now for another visit, let’s see how things get on when I resume work next week - fingers crossed all is ok!
Have a good day everyone, stay dry and warm!

Morning all, 5.8 here.
I will be baking this afternoon, having a joint birthday meal for son and husband, whose birthdays are a week apart (son was due on his father’s birthday but was a week late). They have requested profiteroles.

A whopping 13.2 for me. Got stressed yesterday afternoon and totally lost control of my diet. Tried to binge on boiled eggs and tuna with mayonnaise and coffee with cream but that just didn't cut it, tried some granola with raspberries and cream but still climbing the walls and ended up on cola bottles, which I bought when I couldn't get any JBs. I never ever eat JBs for comfort.... they are like medication and I only use them as and when I need to and very sparingly but for some reason, I can't maintain that mentality and discipline with other sweets and I kept going back for a few more and a few more. At least I didn't eat the whole packet or even half but far too much on top of all the other stuff (the granola took about 2x4 units itself as I went back for seconds) and once my levels went above 10, there was no bringing them down despite lots of stacked insulin each time I went back for more. Eventually I hauled myself out of the house for a walk and to pick my car up from the hospital car park where I left it after retinal screening. (The joys of rural hospitals with large car parks and no parking fees.
)
Libre couldn't cope with all the sweets and insulin chaos, so just kept giving me the try again in 10 mins message. I made sure to take a very public route and rang Ian to let him know where I was in case levels dropped rapidly. 2 miles along the road my sister rang me and we had an in depth conversation about GGs health issues whilst I walked and then suddenly levels plummeted. Caresens BG meter wouldn't work (too cold) so needed to go down the bra to warm up, Libre still not scanning. Popped 2 JBs and managed to tear open one of the Optium test strips I bought recently to use in the Libre and got a reading of 1.9. 😱 Caresens eventually decided to work and a much better 3.3 and then Libre gave me a scan reading of 3.0 with an horizontal arrow.... all whilst juggling my gear against someone's garden wall. Found a bus stop to park my bot in for 5 mins and ring my sister back and let her know I was OK and ring Ian to update him on progress and then continued my walk back to the car, the final mile being uphill. Levels kept dropping so more JBs needed but just the bare minimum. Of course, when I got to the car I was hypo again, so stranded for an hour waiting for levels to come up but at least I had a warm comfortable place to sit and the radio for entertainment. Then of course they went the other way and contrary to DAFNE advice I hit the high with a 2 unit correction and headed off to the supermarket once I was legal to drive. Did my shopping and got home but levels stayed high. Despite my earlier walks, I jabbed 2 units of Levemir and more Fiasp corrections before bed. but still been above range all night.
Have I learned my lesson?.....Yes, my system really doesn't like it when I get "drunk" on sugar!..... Will that teach me not to do it again at some point?..... Probably not 🙄 , but hopefully not for a long, long time!
Think I handled it pretty well though on the whole apart from creating the problem in the first place of course. Kept people informed of my situation and that I might need help, made sure I had 3 testing options and plenty of hypo meds, kept to very public and easlly accessible route, rather than my preferred route, the old railway line walkway.
Anyway, still battling to get my levels down, but have just managed to dip under 10 2.5 hours after getting up with 2 stacked corrections in my system and a basal increase of 2. Needless to say my stats are shot for this week. 🙄 The remaining half a packet of Cola Bottles will be heading up to Ian's as soon as I can trust myself to handle the packet😉
Many congratulations to @Mr Pixels on another House Special.
@ColinUK Does that house on the sea actually float. Must be pretty gruesome in rough weather though! I quite like that it has a saucer underneath the pod to "catch" any "spills" and a little garden on the decking of one of the lily pad feet.
