Thank you, google

Go back to last week and it became obvious that while I’d been backing up my data regularly I hadn’t actually tested that backup. That has been rectified, but I had suffered some data loss. Thankfully, not a huge amount not least down to Google taking a cached copy of my site reasonably regularly.  It […]

Looking at the world in a different way

One of the things I do everyday as a software engineer is look at solving problems. That skill comes in handy in real life too.  We’re having our bedroom remodelled – we’re taking out a dressing room, which isn’t very useful and freeing up some space in the main entrance way for a large cupboard.  […]

Closing the loop

I’ve been using tools and mathematical models to establish my insulin requirements for a while.  I keep the links to these calculators on my pump pages and thank my lucky stars for first wifi and then 3 and then 4G mobile networks. Most of them I have produced myself while allowing them to be tailored […]

A rose by any other name

In the case of diabetes mellitus, a rose by any other name does not necessarily smell as sweet. As a young child growing up in the seventies, very little was generally known about diabetes mellitus and in many ways the definition of type 1 and 2 helped identify that age was not a factor in […]

Route 51 has taught me a few things, not least how to make best use of my bike and its gears. There are a few facts I have picked up on the way which I would never have found out otherwise. Great Barton railway crossing Is surprising: not least in how cyclists and horses make […]

Route 51, part 2

I cannot sleep: with my last set of training, I learnt how my body performs muscle filling, so I went to bed at 22:34 and fell asleep pretty soon after having set up a 70% temporary basal rate. When that completed at 01:36, I woke up, found I was a little low and treated with […]

Route 51, part 1

Don’t you mean route 66? No, National Cycle route 51 is a part shared, part dedicated cycle route from two of the larger towns in Suffolk, Bury St. Edmunds and Ipswich.  In fact, at either end it completes within a mile or two of the railway station, allowing you to complete the circuit by letting […]

What does exercise do to your blood sugar levels?

The first time I do an exercise, especially if I am heavily learning skills and techniques, will drop my blood sugar while I am doing the exercise. If I have had a big break for an activity that also holds true. But that only holds true for that one time. After that the following happens: […]
