good morning all :)

4.7 today

It rained so hard here and we had a howling wind during the night. First really noisy stormy weather of the winter I guess.

Mr gee laughed when I got back from my walk before dinner because I was wet but only down one side of my coat ;) just a weird very short sharp little shower like someone suddenly throwing a jug of water!
But, then it started with wind and torrential rain after about 6 pm and it just went on and on, the rain kept me awake bashing on the skylight in the bedroom :( finally resorted to listening to an audiobook on my mp3 player.

Lovely bright sunny morning now though :happy:

6.1 @ 7.30am seems to be a regular reading for last 2 weeks give and take a few .1s only 5 weeks in from leaving hospital upon diagnosis considering I was in the 20s and Keto was 5.9 I’m feeling better and better each day massive lifestyle changes diet wise especially I’ve gone from over 19 stone to 17.11 so far and counting just trying to keep positive and using diabetes as a big wake up call yes it’s a massive challenge but one I’m hitting head on still got a lot of learning and never read as many food labels in all my life
Many thanks to everyone in this group the stuff I’ve learned in such a short time from you all is priceless
Love Shaun

Hi lxarix
It's cold but it's not -3 C now that's cold, just checked UK Northwest temperatures here 9C so we have a way to get down to your temperatures.
Your BG is ok in 6s I'm usually in this range but had a few 5s recently but I don't like going into 4 s don't feel right.
Are you keeping well in spite of the cold chilly weather you have,I'd never go outside if weather was so cold,I'd hibernate!! Ha ha!! K

We all have down days but if we let the So and So diabetes win we are on a downward spiral and sometimes it's harder to get back. Best of luck to you and don't forget you can ask has many questions you like help is not far away on here,and all the support you want. K
