Well my fasting bg was 5.2 at 5am ... which is nice to know as today will be so difficult for me ... my dear mother's funeral :( I will be glad that she will be in Dad's grave with him by 10.15 this morning. As my brother Tony said 'She has kept him waiting a long time' They were so close and she has outlived him by 24 years. RIP Mum xx

I discovered something astounding yesterday, a blood test result from 1986 where I had a fasting bloodsugar of 125 and another one later that year of 130. I was diabetic and didn't even know it. And wasn't told .

That’s staggering! Over 30 years!

My heart goes out to you @Mal37 . I’m glad you have other family members around to help support you and share the pain.
My mum died 14 years ago but I can still remember how hard I found the funeral, I didn’t think I’d get through the day. Afterwards I felt as if I’d been holding my breath since she’d died and I could at last let it out. I still miss her every day but the grief changes and gets less painful. Sending a big hug to you today.

Hi, I would just like to say that what @DJC3 said is true, time does heal, the pain and loss does subside but we never forget. I lost my mum 15 years ago, after a very short but aggressive illness. Today will be hard but you will get through it, my thoughts are with you.

Am so sorry for your loss if your mum x
 
5.0 which is a fantastic result after hosting a dinner party last night. 3 courses. Tempura battered prawns with a drizzle of sweet chilli sauce!!! Low carb moussaka and salad then 85% chocolate dipped strawberries. 2 glasses of red. Coffee with cream. You really could not tell that it was a low carb affair. My friends loved it. And so did my t2d!!!
