Neeps are what we would call snagger or turnip here in the north east but you in the south would call swede.
I have a Lindsay Grieves of Hawick award winning haggis for tonight (I buy 5 each year from him at the Border Union Show and freeze them) and I might have a few tatties with my neeps despite my usual low carb routine. I must confess though that I cut my haggis into thick slices and fry it with mushrooms rather than steam it for hours.... I know.... I am a Sassenach!

Anyway, my reading for this morning is a not so good 8.9.
I ran high pretty much all day yesterday and didn't have a proper meal yesterday lunchtime or last night, just picked at things and went to bed very late and consequently got up late, so I can only blame myself for poor readings.
@Kaylz Congrats on your HS. Good to see someone else putting their name in the ring for House Special champion.
@KARNAK So sorry to hear you had a nasty hypo at the hospital but great timing. I thought you were doing so well recently with your readings. Disappointed to read that things are not as stable as it appeared. Hope your new ratio helps but don't envy you the maths!

Yes, that is what I would do. I might also be inclined to give myself a correction dose of 1 unit of fast acting insulin but since you have been plagued with hypos in the morning, I would let it go at 12 and just take the basal insulin.
Hope you are feeling better tomorrow. Do you know why you feel sick?

I don't see why not @Michael12421 - the basal (ideally) is there to deal with the slow release of glucose your liver puts out through the day and night, so food shouldn't really enter into the equation 🙂 Given the way your blood sugars are behaving I think you'll be fine on 12, but you know yourself better than anyone else 🙂

Yes, I have been in Spain for nigh on14 years and never had a cold. I had the start of a humdinger yesterday and had very little sleep last night. Coughing and wheezing and constantly having to blow my nose, it is red raw - in fact I would give Rudolf a run for his money next Christmas.

Ditto I am out in Brighton with my daughter and her friends absolutely out of it and feeling very old. They have dragged me into town. I feel about 100 and they want to take me to club. I just want to go home to bed. Help xx

Thanks pet, I think old age is catching up with me. Since I turned 65 last June it has gone pear shaped, but, it will pass. Thank you for your kind words xx

Good morning
A risen 6.6 for me, induced by 15g carbs worth of digestive biscuits but was needed for the 5.3 at bedtime, odd day again yesterday as was in 8's at teatime so took my old "normal" of 3 units for tea (done 2.5 for the last few days because of the drop) and was steady in low 6's and high 5's until I wanted to go to bed lol, heads absolutely thumping and feeling a tad sick even after wasting half a tin of deodorant to try and mask the "herbal" smell that managed to fill our flat last night (if you know what I mean) we shouldn't have to put up with that
Anyway have a nice day folks
Xx

5.8 this morning, going for my long run soon, between 11 and 12 miles depending of if my friend needs a pit stop.
@Kaylz, I feel for you as my daughter lives in a second floor flat in social housing, a number of her neighbours smoke said stuff, which she doesn't have a problem with, except they seem to go to the communal hallway to do it, so the smell drifts around the whole stairwell into her flat, where she has 2 young children, she has one antisocial neighbour that brings the whole place down with all the loud music, shouting etc, people don't shut the main door and when going to work for a 5am start, daughter has to navigate rough sleeps who come in and sleep in the stairwell. it is a shame as despite being a large block of flats each door/stairwell serves 8 flats and when she first moved in 6 years ago, the issues were much less.

@Grannylorraine that's precisely what its like here although our blocks only have 6 flats in each (well ours does, the blocks with 1 bedroom flats have 8 in) and they leave the closey door wide open and the closey windows so the house ends up absolutely freezing but as we are outnumbered (all other 5 flats were Polish people but one have moved out recently) the council wont do anything as they have back up etc, they have no respect for anyone (well they'll respect each other but not the Scottish) xx
