There’s something about having a broken pancreas that makes you see numbers in a different light. For a non diabetic type watching the national lottery draw is all about waiting for those 6 winning numbers to come out. For a diabetic, it’s far more exciting.

* 49 – Oo, you’ve come out of your coma, that’s good. Did you realise you’re diabetic?
* 28 – WTF? Dodgy infusion set? Forgot to bolus for lunch? Are those my kidneys I can smell frying?
* 19 – Not feeling too good. I could drink a reservoir dry and still have space for a slurp from the pond.
* 17 – My standard example of a high number, because on ye olde test strip bottles, the high colour was always rated against 17
