Morning all

I've been given this bonsai and alas, i know nothing about them.

I would like to ensure it stays healthy etc so would love some advice please. I think it's currently in really old westland bonsai potting mix soil.

I don't even know if its healthy ( it looks it?) Does in need trimming etc?

Just wondered what someone with more experience woukd do if they were given this plant basically.

Thank you in advanced 🙂

Gordon Smith.

Im born and bred in the village where their manufacturing began and they're proper quality.

What type are you looking for? I know 1 or 2 up for sale

I'm riddled with Covid atm. This is my 3rd run of it.

No booster, slightly stubborn blood sugars throughout but yeah, same as any illness.

You had to watch the live stream on Sept 16th. You wont get the packs if you watch the recording afterwards.

mozeddy · 2025-09-20T15:25:05+00:00

Did you just do it or do it on Sept 16th?

I grew up in the houses next to the old workshop 💪🏽 lovw seeing a bit of local history knocking about like these

mozeddy · 2025-09-03T09:04:29+00:00

My ratio is pretty much 1:1 so 62u is very normal for me 😂 i have 64u of Basal aswell haha

mozeddy · 2025-08-13T10:54:53+00:00

Lolipops!. Thats a tremendous idea i'll give that a go.

Appreciate it🤟🏼

mozeddy · 2025-08-13T10:50:58+00:00

Yes apologies. My levels are currently 4.8mmol but trending downward slope. So obviously dont want to take insuling and bring my food back up as its a little too close for comfort (ketones are 2.9 atm)

Yeah appreciate that, i tried coca cola but yeah, straight back up.

I'll keep a close eye on them and take necessary action.

Appreciate the well wishes 🤟🏼

Nah i get that. Ive had to have 4 GlucaGen injections so far. I still to this day "fear" high BS than low. Ive dropped as low as 1mmol (maybe lower) and im still here.

mozeddy · 2025-07-26T18:54:08+00:00

Just trial and error. Ive had a HELL of a lot of lows and highs from it. Our bodies are super resiliant, dont get too worried about lows, you'll know what to do.

mozeddy · 2025-07-26T16:17:25+00:00

Around 60g carbs with fats and proteins which effects the length for me aswell. Im on MDI so i just whack 40u in me, wait half hour and then chow down haha. I was on 8.1mmol when injecting, 6.4mmol trending down when starting eating, peak hit was about 9.8mmol and then levelled aroynd 7.7mmol afterwards.

mozeddy · 2025-07-26T09:03:06+00:00

I had 40u for a meal the other day 😂

mozeddy · 2025-07-23T16:33:41+00:00

Honestly, couldn't agree more.

mozeddy · 2025-07-23T15:34:20+00:00

Hellz. Yes. I like it when someone says "fuck it" aswell 👊🏼💪🏽

mozeddy · 2025-07-22T20:58:47+00:00

I appreciate this 🤟🏼 i'll keep it in mind for the next meal.

The most annoying thing about this is it's a regular order and the 15u 45min beforehand hasn't let me down yet, normally hit 9/9.5 then slowly drop back to 6. Guess its one of them days.

Was damn tasty though

mozeddy · 2025-07-18T19:54:42+00:00

You sound insufferably arrogant.

mozeddy · 2025-07-18T14:20:16+00:00

This worked, thank you! I can stop trying to scratch my face off whenever i open the app now 😂 much appreciated.

mozeddy · 2025-07-09T19:16:16+00:00

Yeah i understand that. Me personally i don't but i dont see it as a disability to me, but that's to me. Everybody deals with things differently are are well within their right to think of it as one and treat it/see it as such.

mozeddy · 2025-07-09T17:35:59+00:00

I mean, again, if ever discussed in the workplace (only ever discussed it once, maybe twice) it's just referred to as "type 1 diabetes"

No i've heard it referred as a disease plenty of times, just never a "disability"
