I haven’t posted in a few days – as we had a few days away. We were at New Horizon, a big Christian conference in Coleraine University. It was a wonderful few days, great teaching, worship, and seeing people we haven’t seen for a while. It was nice to get away!
Diabetes wise, the time away went smoothly enough. It’s always hard when you’re out of a routine – and we were camping! But apart from a few sneaky lows, things were ok. I had our 9 year old nephew keeping a very close eye on me… ‘are you sure you should be eating that’, ‘are you ok, do you need to check’ etc. Very cute!
So it’s back to work and now 3 weeks to the wedding! It’s all systems go!
(I also had my DAFNE review last Friday and they said I’m doing really well. My next appointment isn’t until December, so they made me an extra appointment for September to get my hba1c drawn, so I can see how things are going!)

Dafne…Dose Adjustment for Normal Eating
This is what I do now! I was on a week long course last week, teaching me this new concept.
I’m now recording all my results, something I have never done before, and counting carbs. It’s a lot to get my head around – CP’s, BI, QA, BG – that’s what I’m recording at each meal (carbohydrate portions, background insulin, quick acting insulin and blood glucose, so nothing fancy!)
I’m also weighing food, or reading labels. So it’s a lot to get used to, but it seems to be working so far, although I’m running a little lower than normal, which is no bad thing I suppose.
We’re taking our Youth Fellowship ‘Snow Tubing’ tonight. What that actually is remains to be seen…but we’re going to McDonalds afterwards. So I’ve been on the McDonalds web site…working out the carbs, in case I want to eat.
That’s what I call organised!!
