Well done! And yes, I think we have to take on the US expression, "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes!"Feeling virtuous this evening because two days running I've been out for walks in weather that's made most people stay indoors. I arranged yesterday to meet up with some friends and in fact I was the only one who turned up! They all said the weather put them off but I managed to walk there and back in between downpours and clocked up 7,700 steps. Today I walked over 11,000 steps, again, managing to do it all between the bouts of rain without even planning it that way. Now I'm thinking I might have to buy better waterproofs to get through the winter. Another cost of diabetes they don't warn you about?

That's a Victorian saying isn't it?Well done! And yes, I think we have to take on the US expression, "There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes!"
Always gets me too. I probably should do more...All I did was housework today. Why DOES housework seem to burn off so much blood sugar? It's weird.

I usually do little and often for housework too, though. I think it may he because my basal rate and boluses are set for a relatively immobile state. For sport I make alterations, but for housework I just get up and start doing it with no preparations..... And find myself in Hypoland. I think for anyone on insulin or similar medication, as soon as you have things tuned to perfection, any slight deviation from routine can cost a hypo, or more carbs to head it off.With me, I'm sure it's because I go for weeks without doing any at all and then almost have to do a spring clean to see clean surfaces again! But seriously - mood affects BS, doesn't it? Does the battle between anger and virtue do me good?
