Hi all

A very time poor Diabetic nurse spent 2 of our 4 mins yearly review time trying to "sell" me statins.

She wasn't able to give me a print out of my numbers so no meaningful discussion could take place. After I was able to obtain a copy from reception

Shame I couldnt have a proper discussion with anyone from the NHS but any thoughts would be welcome.

I bet that appointment made you feel special Orson:banghead:

It’s part of your liver function - ideally should be below 40. Above that is a sign of a problem in the liver causing it to leak some of the chemicals it makes into the bloodstream. I have a fatty liver, which is improving quickly but my readings are still a bit high. Your reading for that function looks pretty good to me.

Thanks for that. I just looked at my HbA1c test results. Last year's doesn't give ALT level, but the 2016 printout shows a serum ALT level of 25 IU/L, it also shows the recommended level as being between 10.00 - 50.00 IU/L, so it seems I don't have a leaky liver. :)

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and to those who don't care about who wins the national draughts championship.

A little 6.2 for me this morning.

Well folks Mrs J and myself are waiting for family to arrive, Welsh Canadians who will be staying till Monday. It should be a good laugh with lots of feasting. We hope they pick up some road kill, a moose or black bear on the way here.

Have a good one folks.

Night everyone feeling a little bit sick tonight but I’m gonna get myself some cyclizine (sickness med) I’m assuming I’m feeling sick due to the antibiotic. Anyway BG is a bit strange tonight I had a slice of toast as my bedtime snack I always have before the toast BG 6.2 and now it is 5.3 so I have no idea what happened

Morning all early start to get puppy into garden! He’s 6 months now so better capacity but wanted to make sure!
4.8 bg first thing.
Looking forward to a day potterring with puppy and having adoring crowds when taking him out it’s a different world when you walk a cute puppy even gruff/tough looking teenagers have a smile for him and then there’s all those friendly dog owners out there.
