D & D I'd be so interested to hear how you both find the DESMOND course...I can't remember if you've been on one already...I can't say enough (bad) about them...a shocking waste of money.

I went on one this time last year. I had been LCHF for 2 months and had lost about 2 stone. I didn't know so much then so I didn't say too much that was controversial. I know a little more now and felt confident throwing a few things out there but I felt I couldn't keep raining on their parade. I introduced myself and let them know about my local presentation just at the end. Their faces were a little non plused but I didn't expect anything else. They delivered the course exceptionally well but so much wrong info. 'You can eat everything but smaller portions' rubbish. You need carbs for energy!!! Low fat! Calories in calories out!! When I questioned things it was a case of 'science hasn't proved that'.

Every one on butties and some with crisps too. Most progressive (No newbies apart from 1 other). It makes me sad. I had a conversation with the man next to me who is on insulin plus a weekly injection. Can't get BS stable. He has 2 crumpets and porridge for breakfast!!!

No such luck @shelley262 it was the usual rubbish. 'You need carbs for energy' 'Low fat' 'calories in' 'you can eat everything it's all about portion and if you have a pie then pick something lower carb to go with it!' Move more. I was very frustrated but didn't want to sabotage the show. Not the time. My BIL was really enjoying himself. Kept saying 'can I interject '. He was loving asking questions and the ladies were exceptionally patient and understanding. They looked at our salads and said 'oh they look good'. I gave them one of my presentation leaflets. non plused understandably!!! I'm up early in the morning as on the radio (I think if it's going ahead) will let you know if I make it on air!!!! It's a small local one, so off to sleep. Night night.

Good luck with the Dastardly DESMOND course. Might be worth checking at least your fasting reading using a finger prick also as a comparison. I have found that my Libra invariably shows a higher reading. Good for trends though.

It's not bang on tbh. Good readings but when I've done my ringing prick it's been out on every occasion. Fab invention though. I love it.
 
Good morning to all the larks this is def a first for me being the first and not likely to be regular event well hope not! I crashed earlyish yesterday and woke early can’t get back so may as well start to do list once have had a few cups of tea in bed.

Good morning, @shelley262 . Night owl here; it's just struck midnight (well, not really "struck") and the KittenCat and I are heading for bed.

Enjoy your tea, both this morning and later at tea time!

@Debandez good luck with the radio appearance!

Good night sweet dreams @SaskiaKC
 
Morning...doctors & clinic yesterday then I had to dash off to London for work at 12:00...got home at midnight...a few follow up phone calls bed at 01:00...back to London again at some point this morning...shattered hope this coffee works...woke to a 5.2
 
Morning all, the suns just creeping up at 6:40 and the cat defiantly wants to come in. I tried a new meter this morning a nexus which gave me 5.8 , I tried the same drop of blood on the contour next and it gave 5.4 ....not much of a difference really but am hoping the contour is reading slightly high...... Have a good day all....

edited to correct spelling
 
Good morning all. Busy day again yesterday, so didn't manage to post. Fasting blood sugars yesterday were 4.9 and 4.4 today.

@James_Donnelly -- Congrats on your great HbA1c results.
@karen8967 -- So sorry about the attempted break in. So upsetting. Good though that your blood sugars have settled a bit now.
@Bubbsie -- Great INR results. Keeping my fingers crossed for your HbA1c test. (Actually, I thought your blood sugars were pretty well behaved during the festive period -- I was quite impressed anyway.)
