hey, I'm not the only one !! I blame the xmas pudding, I know I should resist it but just cannot. Despite injecting more than I thought I needed I still ended up at 18.7 in the evening. Its good to know I'm not the only one who still gets it wrong at times like these.

Greetings all .... just been inputting the readings for last week, with not brilliant results! Xmas day was not too bad but control def slipped on Boxing day: nothing under 10.8. I blame the between meal goodies and mince pies !

The 14:20 was supposed to represent the Xmas pud.......but like Marke I think I made a similar underestimate Embarassed

I kind of let go on Christmas day, what with the odd chocolate, sherry, and a variety of other nibbles I did what DAFNE would not aprove of and had a couple of units of QA every hour/two hours...without testing.....by chance all worked out, had a huge amount of QA during the day, didn't record anything as I was so out of routine! Hey, DAFNE peers, once a year I have to just let go and forget!
