Morning All

6.0 for me today, again a bit higher than I had got used to.

Back on the ALA / methyl vitamin B1 and B12 as of this morning, we'll see if that helps as it did before....

Off down to Telford model show at Weston Park today for a bit of serious relaxation.

Unkind people, failure to take personal responsibility.
Keep an eye out for that delayed carb meter reading but a well deserved hair down day. Enjoy Kevin!

FBG 5.7 @07:30. Last night before bed it was 3.8, which I can ony attribute to my (new to me) low carb diet. A great deal of controlling our diabetes and other ailments is commitment and belief. For the first time since being diagnosed 5 years ago, I actually have belief that keeping on my current path will take me back to good health, despite the distance I still have to go!
