@Alisonjane10 Don't be I've done it many a time, especially when you are concentrating on a topic that commences with same letters
I'm hoping you don't have peripheral neuropathy @Alisonjane10 , cos my experience with it has been horrible. I have it in one leg following an injury to my shin, and have been shocked how much it can hurt I now use Lidocaine patches on the affected area as well as taking carbamazepine.
Hope you folks are having a good Thursday. BG 5.0 fasting this morning. Feeling pretty shabby today though. Puking for England & there's a **** rock concert going on inside my head. Hmmm...lovely! Blooming cold, rainy & dull in Newcastle. Plus, I've got a weird burning sensation in my big toes. All in all, a blooming horrible day. Hope you're having a better one than me. Best wishes and good health everyone.

Happy Friday everyone. Rather overcast in Newcastle, but not too cold thankfully. Unfortunately, I've still got a burning sensation in my big toes, & I'm a bit under the weather, but hey...it's a good excuse to put my feet up & watch daytime TV. Bliss. Weird BG today. Woke up to a 5.7 fasting. Had a nice cooked breakfast, followed 2 hours later with a BG of 4.5mmols. Don't usually have the time or the inclination for a cooked brekkie, but the hubby offered to cook me one. I've got a gem of a hubby. Big daft, footy mad, hairy Geordie. But so supportive with my Type 2. I imagine it must be hard to manage diabetes without the support of your other half. We all have days when being diabetic is hard work physically & emotionally. Depression is something well recognised as a psychological consequence for SOME people with this disease. We will all have our coping mechanism. For me, family support is enormously helpful. My beautiful Great-Niece knows I have "poorly blood" & "can't eat Smarties." Lol. She made this for me. I wanted to share it.
Have a good day folks.
@Alisonjane10 get well soon, your great Niece is wonderful cheerful tonic
Your Great Niece is toooo cute!!!
Family support can make or break us. Gutted your still feeling poorly, but really glad you have so much that is great in your life. Your post showed how good it is to be you. Thank you.

FBG 6. She is absolutely adorable @Alisonjane10 that will definately keep you smiling for years to come.
Yes speaking of adorable my granddaughter made a fathers day card at daycare for her nana. While I thought it was lovely I was trying to convince her to give it to her grandad but to no avail. Oh well, its nice to be loved.
Hope you soon feel better @loulou99782.Had a rotten night thanks silly chest. BS this morning a bit high for me at 5.7. Think it's because of chest infection and lack of sleep
Thanks Daphne. I know the good old prednesolone effects my blood sugar at a higher dose I am currently on 40mg a day, DN said yesterday to add a couple of extra units of insulatard in the evening as levels where getting quite high. Will also see what bloods and sputum test comes back like on Monday when I speak to the Asthma nurseHope you soon feel better @loulou99782.
