The Met Office is forecasting a clear spell during the time I'll be riding. Fingers crossed they get it right.

Not posted on here, but my son has been in hospital since Tuesday !
He went in for a routine T1 diabetes checkup, his bloods were in the 20's and his ketones were 0.9 (very very bad).
They admitted him. Son didn't think to tell us, so around 6:30 we asked our daughter to check where he was (apparently snap chat shows you where your friends are). Location showed Stepping Hill Hospital.
Wife texted then got an answer. Son was released at 10pm with instructions to check his ketones. We woke at 4 am to check him, 'where is your meter' - half asleep son saying he'd just put it down. Anyway, ripped his room appart, then he admitted he had lost it ! Fark ! Call to hospital. Went back to bed for a short while, call at 6:30am Weds morning, bring him in now.
Spent most of Weds waiting with him, he got a right rollocking off the DSN (Diabetes Specialist Nurse), transpires he's not been glucose testing for days on end and only giving insulin once a day. Ketones above 0.3 are bad, he was 0.9 - this is keytoacidosis (basically your organs are being attacked).
Anyway, they've kept him in since, he was allowed out for exams at college yesterday. Not sure when he will be allowed home - he's not unwell at all, but has been a right fool. Hopefully this is a big wake up. He will be getting a car soon, and won't be allowed to drive with crazy blood levels.
More angry with him than anything else. My friend has lost all his toes because of T1 problems.

Kids eh? We had to call the police out a month or so ago because one had vanished: we were pretty sure he was okay but we had no idea where he was...
Hope all works out and that your lad gets a wake up call from this. Well done to the DSN for making the situation clear.

Some chance - more liquid sunshine this morning!
Having said that it's currently bright, sunny and (dare I say it) warm, but there's a band of heavy showers a few miles north - guess where I want to head...
