I don't work at that pace often GG...only when I cover a duty period...thank goodness...enjoyed the walk with Harry...no delicate foot work from him...he loved it...practically dragged me to the park!...had to put some effort into keeping him under control...its melting now...relieved ...would not fancy driving in that!
 
Morning...up early... but had a reasonable sleep...after a fraught (working) weekend feeling more 'with it' today...not a particularly well behaved diabetic yesterday...just one of those days when I needed that little something extra...relieved to wake a 5.0...back on track today.
 
Morning all. No test this morning as I've joined the ranks of those with good old fashioned cold symptoms for the last 2 days so expect levels to be raised anyway. Will start retesting again when I feel more human. Have a good week one and all and stay safe/ warm. :)

@dogslife hope your soon well but I totally agree on this testing when your not well and was thinking along same lines myself this morning,mine with the meds is steadily climbing this morning it's 6.5 I'd gotten BG to in the 5s before starting with bronchitis.Its hard enough when we are well but too much when your unwell. Good luck K
 
Good morning everyone
BG this morning 6.5
In the 9/10s after food and meds last evening and in 7s before bed so shouldn't expect anything different,but I agree with dogslife and I may give the testing a rest until I'm over the worst of this bronchitis I'm still worn out most of the day and night everything is an effort. And when I see the BG rise it just stresses me out more,I know it's probably all that's happening at this time with lack of sleep meds excetera but seeing your BG going up when your trying to keep them in check is moral breaking.Take care of yourselves everyone it's supposed to be a bad winter for all these bugs!

I’m in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada. -20°c is uncomfortable but in the depths of winter-40°c without a windchill is quite common. We have hit -53° with windchill so it does get cold.

In -20°c I can still go outside for a limited time in just jeans and a t-shirt. The older I get though, the less amount of time I can endure it.

-18°c this morning and 5.3 at 6:00am and little light snow.
