No Carbers/ low Carbers

[rossi_mac]

Hi Rossi, they have 25.7g of carbs per 2 biscuits with semi-skimmed milk. So if your ratio is 1:10g that's about 2.5 units! ( or 2 or 3). Do you remember how much you took last time?

4!! no wonder I went a bit wobblie woops!

Thanks for setting me right!

 

[katie]

You're welcome 🙂

I have to take 6-8 units for it usually, grr not fair!!

 

[katie]

Woohoo 🙂 Sound like you've had some good levels And yes - food and sleep, obviously the recipe! Well done!

Mine have been ok... Hen do over the weekend so didn't test too much, but still not gone any higher than 11 when I have so can't really complain! Did our Lion King performance yesterday and had 3 hypoes: 1 at the interval cos of running around madly and 2 after (one before bed and one at 6 o'clock this morning) probably becaus of relaxing after all the hard work! One and a half days to go till the holidays

How are they today peeps?

Jeeeeta!! ehem. I missed this post. How are you? Have you got much planned for the summer holidays?

You did well to not be over 11 during the hen weekend, i'm sure I would have been in the 20s lol. Are they still good?

My levels have been behaving themselves, mostly! I woke up high at 11.1, but then went down to 5.1 before lunch woo. It's been like that for a few days now. I keep waking up a bit high (because I nibble in the evenings! If you can call it nibbling haha) but then during the day my levels are quite good.

Actually thinking about it... I only had a piece of toast last night and I was at 6.7, I took my usual 4 units for a piece of bread so I shouldnt really have woken up high at all. It's really random

Yay - behaving themselves levels - well done 🙂 Night times are definitely the hardest bit (maybe try *shock horror* waking up at 3am?! 😛)

Mine have gone to pot again... Just as I knew they would, having gone from running around madly at school to sitting down on my bum. I bounced yesterday from 5 to 14 to 4 to 14 to 4... Not good! I just need to start from scratch again... Which is a nicely depressing thought!! I have my school regime sorted though nearly, I just need to remember it for Sept, hehe!

No massive plans; I'm off to Northern Ireland for a wedding in a couple of weeks and me and the boyf are moving in together 😱 He's moving down from Manchester which is exciting! How's about you? Are you actually having to find a new job then? You'll need to if you're saving for Australia, how exciting too 🙂

Yeah somehow they are a lot better than they used to be, I think it's mainly because I test alot more. The problem is with basal testing, I go to bed about 3am most nights and then get up at 7 😱 Which I know is really bad and probably not good for my levels but i'm trying to sort it out!

Have you written your term time ratios down? Hopefully it won't take too long to sort out your holiday ratios. How's it going today? Wow you are such a grown up, moving in with your boyfriend that's going to be really cool, getting to see him every day. At the moment we havent lost our jobs (my mum does the day-to-day running of the business). We are getting back in there on wednesday, but I expect it will go into liquidation very soon. Ive got a second job so it isnt the end of the world, but i'm going to have to find another one if I want enough money for Aus! Yeah, I really can't wait to go 🙂

Hi Twin , Im over the worst of the oinking , still got the kidney infection though so I'm still dosed up on antibiotics and painkillers and even my aches , ache lol . I am alot better though , Im just sooooo tired all the time atm , I can barely stay awake for a few hours Grrr .

Ive only upped my nightime dose of Levemir by 2 units ( I split dose ) and it has made a major difference!! I no longer have to jab Bolus without food to try and stay level during the day , if I dont eat I stay low or sometimes drop to hypo barely (3's) so less jabs

How long is it till you go now ?? my god this place will not be the same without you !!

lol yeah it is quite amazing, I guess because you arent eating much, the levimir can keep you constant even though you are lying down all day.

Aww, don't worry I will come on here whenever i'm in an internet cafe. If im on here too much though i'm probably not having enough fun haha. Hmm me on an australian beach with a hunk? I can dream I suppose, but you never know Haha, yeah you should come join me, tell your brother you'll work from Oz 😉

 

[rossi_mac]

Katie, you leaving Sunny B?? Not enough sun for you, you gotta go down under!!? Well everyone I know who's been down under has had a cracker, so make sure you do to. I went out for a while when working on a boat off North Coast all I saw was a dodgy little hostel and a bar, oh and an Irish bar in Darwin!!

Hmmm I wish he'd go for that unfortunately he wont . The only reason I'm getting away with being up here and working for him is that my job hasnt officially started yet , when it does he'll work me to an early grave .
