Hi @Diabeticliberty,

Yes -- I feel extremely fortunate and bringing out my summer wardrobe for today.

How are you this morning? Sounds as if you had a rough time last night.

If the temperature here gets above 6 degrees then I have a spandex mankini in the back of pick up truck. This afternoon could see me strutting my thang baby :)

Last night was a little bit torrid but it was oversleeping this morning that really knocked the wind out of my proverbial sails, and you are all painfully aware of just how windy I am. Still onward and upward and all that malarkey :pompous:
 
@Diabeticliberty Yes,lovely bread.One of the joys of being retired is having time for these things.When we both worked life was far too stressful for home baked bread.His latest purchase (and new toy) is a bread machine........trouble is the smell of baking bread is always very tempting.Id post you a parcel but it wouldn't be the same without that fresh smell!!!My contribution is making the low carb crackers we both like, and I can eat without a guilty conscience!

Hi Lisa having struggled to lose 3 stone since changing to insulin I’ve managed to put on 2.5 stone agIn I’m incredibly frustrated but never give in. Talking to my gp I wouldn’t have minded putting the weight on if I’d gone on a 3 month all inclusive . I keep trying trying to balance low Bg and losing weight

Lady K, mine was an absolutely doosey this morning. Could not get things moving in the right direction for a solid gold thong. Eventually had to resort to a really large bottle of Cravendale full skimmed and orange Club biscuits. Oh my giddy aunt they are so good even bleary eyed at 2.0am in a morning confused and shaking like a sh***ing dog. I hope you are ok too. The things really do get right in your face sometimes. Have s great day kid :)

Pugs are like Harry autumn winter they love a walk I used to take Louie on my 2hour walks when he was younger. But a few years back he collapsed when I was out with him frightened me to death so now it's short walks and only when it's cool early mornings and evenings.

In Scotland I can access my GP’s diabetic records that they have for me. As at 14/11/17 my HbA1C was 41mmol/mol or 5.9% which I am quite chuffed about as several months ago it was about double that. Kidney function and cholesterol are all within perfectly normal parameters for my age which is also great news. Also had my eyes all done too and have 20:20 vision as long as I keep my glasses on.

All I have to do now is keep up the hard work over the past three or four months

Take care in that snow...not one of my favourite things for driving...had heated seats in my Saab (loved that car)...the first time I used them...the ex's 'important parts' got warm very quickly...for a brief moment he was worried he'd peed himself.:)
