Type 2 Life

Currently watching old 80's music videos on YouTube and on DCUK. Watched Robert Palmer - Addicted to Love and Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer. Both great songs and videos especially Sledgehammer with the animation which was fab for 1986. :)
 
Been shopping after the gym, it is Yvonne's birthday. The lady of my life got a massage voucher, blouse, thumb ring (trendy lady), hotel chocolate. Yvonne also released me to treat myself....so....I ha Emmy new iPhone6s in hand....yippee...off out with the whole family for a slap up tonight. :) lovely day. :)

@Japes - I would think with your BP being lower, and you have lost weight - here's hoping you will be pleasantly surprised at your HBA1C being lower.:)
 
Here May is usually our driest month. Not many rainy days so far and a few weeks of unbroken sunshine and mid 20'sC so I can't complain. :)
 
How's things in York @liam1955 ? York is probably my favourite place in England, been to it many times, love it. I went to it as a child (before the Minster fire) and have returned many times. It has a special place in my heart. :)

We too have spent many a happy hour in York, in fact renewed our vows on our 25th anniversary is York minster. Special times.

Anybody who has read my posts may have guessed I am a Yorkshire man by birth, though lived in beautiful Cambridge for 20 years.

Hello @eddie1968 - Sorry for not replying to your post sooner :) (just finished feeding my face). Oooh - did you fall in love whilst visiting York? Would not like it today, so dull and gloomy, had a few showers throughout the day and then from 4pm just constantly raining. (But, still very warm at 18·c) Have you done all the tourist bits here in York?
 
I have had a day of housework, although I did manage an hour in the gym this morning. Husband has been feeling poorly all day and spent most of the day in bed which is very unlike him. I had hoped to sit in the garden but it has been very grey today and a bit drizzly at times.

Tomorrow I am volunteering at a Charity 10k run at Wimpole Hall, which is a nearby National Trust property. Hopefully it won't be raining or the runners will get very muddy. And I will get very wet!

Gone really stuffy here now. Want a good storm....Want some tea too. Mayb crumble

Yes, done the Viking Centre, Minster, Shambles, Railway Museum etc. Brilliant and worth another visit. :)
 
Stayed a few days in York last year and I liked it there

Went back a few weeks later for an uncles funeral so not a happy time then

But York and Yorkshire is lovely

Good Morning, all my fine friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk Type 2 Life Forum,

Although I had a bit of temptation in my impulsive eating habits manifest in my suspected ADHD and autistic spectrum disability by consuming 4 large chip butties (shame on me!) I took my blood glucose reading at 2:44 am on Saturday 21st May, 2016 and it was 8.7, a bit high and out-of-range but the Lixisenatide glucagon-like peptide injection is working.

I have pronounced problems with my dietary specifications with my ASD, I don't mean to keep doing this, it's just something I really struggle with at present. But thanks to @sablejan, @debrasue, @ikihun, and @lizanne and the wonderfully loving advice, caring in the extreme, I'm at long last getting there and I'm so grateful to each and everyone of you for recognising my worth and value and achievements.

I am still multitasking on my Chromebook lap top (it's in my avatar as a picture) and while I'm on www.diabetes.co.uk, I'm on www.youtube.com listening to a great Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers song from Shall We Dance? called They Can't Get That Away From Me by George And Ira Gershwin which was featured in my favourite 1988 film called Rain Man in which Raymond Babbit (high functioning autistic) overcomes his fear of touch and emotion in the Las Vegas casino lift by dancing to it with his younger brother Charlie's girlfriend, an Italian lady called Suzanna. That scene overlaps into another, still playing the Fred and Ginger number just mentioned, in which the autistic boy proudly drives his brother's 1949 Roadmaster Buick on a driveway in Los Angeles with some help from his younger brother just before the pre-custody trial assessment at a clinic.

Have a lovely day, my friends.

Yours faithfully,

Mr. Johnny Baker
Sufferer of autistic spectrum disability, suspected ADHD with a strong susceptibility to clinical depression.

Hi Johnny, I think we ALL have problems diet-wise....most of us know and understand what is good for us to eat to keep our blood sugars down but actually doing it and not eating the foods that aren't so good for us any more is a lot harder.....you ate the chip butties, but yes, you are "getting there"you knew it wouldn't do your blood sugars any good....time to move on......if you get the urge again, and really can't resist (it happens) try just to have two.....

Thanks for your thanks :) .... glad to be able to help....

I'm having a naughty tea, I've worked out it won't be too naughty....canned pie filling, I'v checked the carbs on the tin, coconut flour and some oatmeal and Total Sweet and butter for the crumble..so not too many there. Then there's the "instant" custard (so not as low carb as home made)....I know I will "fly high" but not OTT high AND it IS my meal and not an extra...mm, I smell burning.....think the top of the curmble is catching
 
Hope everyone's ok. Does anyone know if kurkins & pickles & mustard are bad for us diabetics? Thanks. Raining heavy here, forecast plenty more to come !

I've been doing the housework - I'm volunteering at the theatre again tonight and I'll be at mums all day tomorrow

Have a good day with your Mum tomorrow...
Does volunteering at the theatre mean you get to see the shows for free or are you too busy?
