Another hospital appointment that turned into a complete waste of time .
 
Good Morning, my lovely friends, @eldergarth, @tina_marie, @ickihun, @debrasue, @13lizanne, @TooManyCrisps, @Diamum5972 and @Guzzler, today, Friday 17th November 2017 Anno Domini at 8:18 Ante Meridian Greenwich Mean Time, with much love and incessant, detailed interest in you fine peeps,

I am posting to impart to you that I had a wonderful night's sleep last night and this morning ingested a tomato sandwich made with 1 sliced tomato, a pinch of salt and 2 slices of Sainsbury's Bloomer White Crusty Bread with poppy seeds on it and drank a mug of tea with semi-skimmed milk, 1 Sainsbury's Basics' tea bag and 2 teaspoonfuls of Sainsbury's Sucralose Artificial Granulated Sweetener and my blood glucose was, before meds, a very good 6.6 Millimoles Per Litre. I've also smoked 7 hand-rolled Holborn Yellow Tobacco cigarettes and drank 2 mugs of tap water in my navy blue Yorkie mug with the word Yorkie written in yellow letters.

Lots of love,

From,

Johnny xXx, a sufferer of Asperger Syndrome and Adult ADHD.

Oh god. What?

Woke very tired so I'm slow to keep up. Too many quality streets on monday. Still putting sugars right and sleeping but no livelier. Just a reminder of what sugar does to me.
No added sugar xmas it is, for me. :( it just makes me ill unless I pump myself with insulin and get water tummy and add weight which demoralises my efforts throughout the year.
I'm made a new thread for Christmas treats as many still enjoy christmas extras. I appreciate the ideas.

Is my mate ok?
 
My medication and Lixisenatide subcutaneous injection has been complied by and I had 1 more tomato sandwich because I was feeling minimally hungry.

My blood glucose reading at 10:15 Ante Meridian GMT was 9.1 Millimoles Per Litre. It was a likelihood it was that shocking Sainsbury's Bloomer White Crusty Bread with Poppy Seeds with 33.3 g of devil carbs in them that caused my hyperglycaemia.

Yes. He was fine at school yesterday. Luckily. He refuses foods which are too cold, mainly milk.
The dietician will be pleased, he's lost weight again. Tall and not overweight but thick boned maybe like mr ickihum's x-rays show.
He goes off his food for milk, whenever he can. He says "no", a lot.

With my Asperger Syndrome, I don't like cold food and drinks either, especially if it's just come out of the fridge, it makes me retch and can bring on a meltdown. I also don't like eating cold or reheated meat, cold pork and cold chicken is the worst, it makes me heave. I like everything to served fresh. Even ready meals have been known on the opposite level to scald me because of my inability to determine its temperature. This is the autism spectrum sensory sensitivity symptom which affects auditory, visual, olfactory, tactile and gustatory senses.

Ron has been to kingsmill hospital for the ENT appointment. We were there about ten minutes. They can't find anything either , so they are going to get Ron to have a barium swallow test ,in the meantime the Dr has prescribed flixonase because everytime he eats he needs to blow his nose . Today however Ron got an appointment with our gp who has agreed to get Ron a referal to Derby hospital to check out if he has M.E. as he seems to think Ron certainly fits the bill. Ron says your naughty for eating them chocolates .lol

My blood glucose was a brilliant 5.2 mmol/L today and my blood pressure was a totes healthy 126/71.
 
I had a ready meal of 2 bangers, mash and peas in a lovely gravy and a mug of instant coffee with milk powder and Hermesetas granulated sweetener.
 
Good Afternoon, my good, dear friends on http://www.diabetes.co.uk,

I'm 48 hours quit from tobacco now using the Niquitinell 2 mg lozenge and the Nicorette 1 mg mouth spray. I use the spray every half an hour with just one spray each time. And I take 1 lozenge every 2 hours, being careful not to exceed the 9-a-day dose recommendation on the leaflet inside the box.

I've just had a £1.75 pence Sainsbury's roast lamb, roast potatoes, peas, carrots and gravy ready meal, and drunk several mugs of tea with Hermesetas granulated sweetener and Nestle Coffee Mate Light. I've also drunk numerous glasses of tap water to counteract the craves from the nicotine in between NRT doses and have been praying for my quit.
 
I suppose sleep is good but when that is all your doing just lately . Ron's not eating alot either .
 
I've had a good few days with blood glucose readings in their 5's.

I'm now slow-roasting a joint of gammon on 175 degrees celsius for a couple of hours, which I'll serve with freshly boiled baby potatoes and brussel sprouts, each with a little salt and a knob of Clover margarine. I'm cooking for Ioanna this evening and delivering her hot meal across my council estate on a plate with taut cling film over it. I also bought some groceries for her today, which I paid for.

Also, from quarter to one today I became 5 days quit from tobacco!
 
It's now 4:33 antemeridian, Greenwich mean time, on Thursday 30th November 2017 anno domini and my blood glucose level was a very good 5.9 mmol/L.

Yesterday I ate an 8 am breakfast of 2 wholewheat biscuits, sweetener and long life "laughing cow" UHT milk, the same for my lunch at 12:00 pm and in the evening I ingested some boiled baby potatoes and Brussel sprouts with a pinch of salt and clover margarine.
 
Today, 30/11/2017, at 12:45 pm I will be 7 days quit tobacco!
 
Today, at 12:45 PM GMT, Sun 3/12/2017, I shall be 10 days quit from my tobacco smoking habituation, using two different forms of NRT treatment, and praying, by autism spectrum ritualistic routine, for temptation. It really works!

I've also had a complete shave and a thorough shower, washing meticulously with Lynx you shower gel and upon drying myself with my favourite towel, put on a stripy shirt, stripy tie, black trousers, black and red stripy socks and a black blazer and black shoes.

So far, I've eaten four slices of toast, halved, with Sainsbury's 45p chicken paste spread lightly over each slice. I've also administered my metformin and other tablets. My blood glucose is 7.4 millimoles per litre, and I've ingested two mugs of sugarless, whitened coffee and several transparent cups of tap water.

Love you all from Johnny xXx.

@JohnnyBaker12021970 ... Dropping the smokes is a LOT harder than many think. Some suggest it's more difficult than some "soft" drugs so well done. Dumb habit and again. great work
 
How are things @tina_marie ? Ron's sleep should even itself out once he gets used to tramadol a bit more.
It makes me warm and comfortable. I had a quick sleep late morning but adding heating on top it can be lethal for my family time. No nana's visit today as little one is coughing and had a temperature, he's asleep now after calpol. phew!

He's still in alot of pain with his shoulders , now it's his wrists , the left wrist is now bruised although Ron says he's not knocked it against anything .

Is Ron on any blood thinners to avoid heart attack or strokes? I think thry can cause easy bruising, if I remember rightly?
Pain is a huge nuisance.
I know tramadol doesn't work on period pain so it must just target certain pain. I wonder if dihydrocodeine is the same.
Codeine constipates me so I guess that's why I haven't been offered dihydrocodeine too.
When next at gp I will ask if tramadol causing all my water balloon like tummy. Or actually I will call my chemist tomorrow as I'd love to 100% pinpoint the cause. It often worries me.
Any swelling for Ron?
 
He takes aspirin every morning after breakfast. I know that tramadol can cause bloating. All his painkillers he's been on cause constipation and he's struggling to go but not sure if that's down to meds or osteoarthritis in his spine. Tonight however when it came to me giving him a shower his legs were all red and swollen .
