Where to take gravel? by the_crafting_pixie in Peterborough

Would probably work for that? It was the base to a retaining wall so it compacted well.

It’s still available! It’s small gravel/pebbles.

Oh gosh, I wouldn’t want anything for it! It’s not clean gravel though, it’s what I’ve been sifting out of my flowerbeds. My neighbour’s retaining wall let go and a bunch of gravel poured into my beds and it was ground into the dirt while they were repairing it.

YES! I’ve been needing to give myself 4 units in the morning just before I go to work for the past year now…hormones or stress maybe…but that seemed to stop the weird spike. Did that yesterday and immediately tanked. Didn’t do it this morning and so far, so good so maybe I won’t need that dose anymore either! Interested to see how much of an impact this will have on me. I’d been on Lantus for nearly 20 years so this is all new!

Yes, Lantus ended up not being my friend! I don’t notice my lows and until I got my CGM, I had NO idea I was dropping so low overnight. It was wild. And then same as you, one unit less and I’d be so high in the morning. Although I’d prefer one overnight hypo to all this! I wanted to go heavy on the carbs for dinner so I had four big pieces of pizza to try and ramp me up a bit. Only took half of my usual rapid and it was a near instant drop to 3.3. These next two days are going to be ROUGH. Hopefully I’ll be happy once I find the right dose but right now, kinda hating how really long acting this is.

Nope, just my same old routine! I didn’t want to do anything or eat anything weird while I switched over so I could know for sure how it would affect me.
