Hello all. Very late post today -- early and busy day at work. Fbg was 4.7.

@Lurch2o -- Welcome to thread. Happy you decided to join.
@dogslife -- Congrats on your standing up to your nurse. I sometimes wonder if HCPs would be willing to be held accountable for their advice. Keeping my fingers crossed that your stress (and back) improves, so that you can focus on diet and exercise.
@Bubbsie -- Great posts and absolutely agree on what you said.
@Traceymac23 -- Absolutely wonderful news about the improvement in your infection and your blood sugars.
@Patrick66 and @alf_Josiah -- Good luck on your OPs tomorrow.
@P1ckle -- Great to see your blood sugars coming down.

@DJC3 -- Thanks so much for asking. The meeting with my GP was good, really not too much to talk about as test results were good. He did talk to me about getting a colonoscopy as I have now reached the magic age, not sure whether I am up to it, though. Had lots of tests and doctor's appointments lately and they do stress me out a bit.

Dinner was a fish stew and Waldorf salad WITHOUT raisins and a nice mustard mayo

Last mouthful at 2045 so just tea/coffee/water till morning bricking......a nice 12 hour fasting block(unless Oramorph counts as food).

Final bg was 7.9 so each of the 4 readings today were lower than those at the same time yesterday for an average improvement of 0.95 per test.....happy with that
 
I just saw this and had to share:

Morning all, calm but cool down here on the Coast.

FBG 8.0, hmm? I'm a morning person, but this is a bit high? Will have to investigate the new delicious "Lighter" soft cheese of yesterday's lunch and dinner, total half a tub. When these food manufacturers say "Light" that doesn't mean low carbs. Time to do some maths.

Later edit: BG 7.0 at 1200, need to watch for those hidden carbs obviously.

No such thing as a good "LIGHT" food.

A nice 6.2 this morning.........technically when converted that equates to my last HbA1c test.......really not too shabby when considering the gauntlet my poor carcass has been put through :hungover:
 
Glorious day here on the south coast
(Of India, admittedly .lol.)

Easy night last night....
Rewarded by an honoury McGarrett.

A quick review of South goa.
Much to enjoy, foods been great, people are lovely, swimming is brilliant.

BUT there is an ugly underbelly, travellers should be aware of.

Increasing levels of hooliganism as some reprobates stumble home up the high street after a night out..

And the beaches can be crowded as all and sundry seem to want to enjoy that TOURIST experience.

And depending on if your in the FOUR PAWS GANG...
OR the BipedzRulz crew.
Dogs are a Something to enjoy..or avoid
( Cos they're everywhere you turn.)

We give it a BIG 5 thumbs up on the Raakonometre.

Enjoy your day, you beautiful people.x

4.8 today. Stayed in the 4s even after meals yesterday and also had a 3.8. Perhaps my beta cells have come out of hibernation - hopefully the good numbers carry on. Maybe they will - maybe they won't - so I will just enjoy the good numbers while I am getting them.
 
Very disturbed night. Called out to mum as dad needed help. Not slept more than 1 hour and didn’t eat supper due to situation.
Gobsmacked to see 9.8 this morning!!!
