What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

[Debandez]

Managed to sneak a few minutes on my phone while Mr C is glued to the cricket in a cosy Tobermory pub.
Very glad to see @Cumberland has a nice comfortable fbg today.
Mine was 5.7 today and yesterday 5.1 so holiday grub seems fine, and lack of metformin doesn’t seem to be having a deleterious effect now.
I’m thrilled to be entering a bin discussion my husband drives a bin lorry so I never think about it - I leave it to him. SIL and his dad also work on the bins - they are all obsessed by it, it’s very funny, within 5 mins of them being in the same room their conversation will have turned to bins and the merits or otherwise of the local rounds. My daughter made a fabulous calendar for Mr C’s Christmas present. She took photos of many different bins throughout the year and made a montage. The title page was ‘Bins of Cornwall’ it was far and away his favourite present!

This is just so funny!

We all have those periods when numbers go awry... will be better soon i am sure

Hi Shaz,

as it is the Eid holiday Eid Mubarak

 

[SaskiaKC]

At the risk of reigniting the bin chat thread, I will post some as soon as we get back ( away on hols atm)

Yay! Thanks. Enjoy your hols!

I agree!
The pockets on women’s sweatpants don’t even hold a tissue, whereas the pockets on men’s sweatpants can hold the contents of a small handbag....and you have at least 4 pockets....

And they have a drawstring so when you lose weight you don't need to replace the pants, just tie them tighter. And the drawstring is inside so you don't have a lump under your shirt.

6.0 this morning. Not terribly happy but not too upset either. Yesterday’s 6.5 did upset me and hence last night’s dinner was a salad with eggs to keep them carbs at bay. Helped a bit.

As Mrs. S and Junior are away in India for a holiday it’s going to be a slow day. Maybe some shopping for groceries that are friendly to non-regular-cooks! And it is a bright sunny day... hopefully it stays that way ...

Good day everyone

Good grief I am 1182 posts behind. Hey everybody, sorry I've been AWOL but it's apt to continue. I'm sad; I love this thread.

 

[SaskiaKC]

Good to see you again, @zauberflote . How have you been?

 

[True Blue]

Morning all. Had a lot of pizza less than 36 hours ago.

FBG 6.6 mmo/lt at 0430. Not a bad reading for me. Weight still falling.

Have a great day everyone.

 

[trick60]

Good morning folks 5.5 on the dice, in other news it's our bin day today, black bins for general waste, pics to follow.

Drawstrings are useful...but I am still waiting for the losing of weight bit...

Sigh....

5.3 for me have a good day everyone

 

[gennepher]

Oh dear fbg going up a wee bit 11.6

But I have the potential of 4 days at home. No external stress from the outside world...but I might not have to open snail mail or email for 4 days to make the most of those 4 stress free days at home.

Weather looks nice outside, sun is streaking golden beams across the sky, cat is swinging on my wooden swing, I am drinking black coffee and deliciously sucking a cube of chocolate...

The world is beautiful!

Take care

Have fun

Beautiful green peaceful garden.

I am beginning to think a very low carb meal as last meal of the day helps the fbg a wee little bit.

Enjoy your food shopping!!!!

5.2, hard to believe but I'm not arguing with the little blood sucker Today I am doing physics, as we know nature abhors a vacuum, so my newly emptied garden waste bin is about to become full once more. Enjoy the day

They look so innocent when they are on their own like that

 

[dunelm]

Ours are black and blue.

Stop bashing them up then

An absolutely random higher reading of 6.2 this morning after a very active, completely stress free and ultra low carb day. A lovely sunny morning here - relaxing with a Nespresso and dogs snoozing as the sunshine streams into the conservatory.

 

[DJC3]

5.0 for me this morning. There is a Nespresso machine in our room so I’m taking full advantage at the moment. I’ve borrowed the proprietor’s book ( with his blessing) 40 Favourite walks on Mull and Iona so I think we’ll be exploring a bit today.
Can’t remember if I mentioned that we did see white tailed eagles a couple of days ago - a fabulous and awe inspiring experience.
Enjoy your 4 days of peace @gennepher
