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

@PenguinMum Congratulations to Number 2 Son and to you!

@karen8967 I love your new avatar.

I reached a new low this morning. 5.8 on the meter. I want to go out shopping after Magnum this morning for supplies to explore this lowland territory I've just touched upon.

Great FBG maybe linked to the resolution with the meds making you less stressed. Long may it continue. You and the KC deserve a treat. What a lovely beach..I miss the beach...sigh!
 
Distant Encounters of the Weird Kind ...

I just came from a (mostly US-based) online board on which one member asked other members to explain Brexit to her.

A couple of days ago, on yet another board, someone reviewing a movie said it was so boring it nearly had him in a "diabetic coma."

I was flummoxed by the first post, and provoked by the second enough to ask if the reviewer had diabetes and did he realize that neither a movie nor boredom could bring on a diabetic coma. He replied he'd only been trying for humor. I asked him what he thought was humorous about diabetes, or about a coma of any kind.

Sigh.

Yay. Great fbg @SaskiaKC and nice scene.:angelic:
 
Great fbg @trick60 - triple cheese on toast for you today. My fbg was 5.2 - about as believable as the latest Alexander the bloviator flimflam but the meter sure enough did display those numbers at 5.00 (wonder what it might have been when I first woke much earlier). Scales indicated I am back around trend 74 kgs. Regressed to zero dark thirty waking just when a) I need to recover from surgery b) due to a I can't use the time to exercise c) wrong season to garden or watch cricket from down under early. It took 4 years but I had that sorted. CT scan today so I am instructed to drink my own height in water. Tomorrow we move on to removing and testing the keratosis horn on my head. Eventually, I might get back to dealing with the strange case of the LC diet. Today is Allen F Gardiner day - not the Ipswich river cruise restaurant - the British Naval officer and not his son Allen W.

@karen8967 hope the bg rises a touch for you but love the smiley showing your attitude to life's ups and downs - great example to the rest of us. @gennepher don't blame you for staying put enjot it as long as you can, @Muddy Cyclist good news re the treat and unexpectedly pleasing fbg. Enjoy granddaughter time despite the lack of peace and quiet they are a reminder that there is innocence, pure joy and hope in the world. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable
 
An irritating and unexplainable 6.7 for me today. Oh well, can’t win em all.
@ianpspurs hope all goes well with your scan, when do you expect the results?
@PenguinMum I’m still catching up on yesterday’s posts so belated congrats to no 2 son. What a lovely feeling of achievement for you all. Only you would celebrate by ironing though!
@SaskiaKC I was really happy to see your lovely fbg and the beach photo. Can’t beat the sea for stilling the mind.
@Muddy Cyclist have fun with your granddaughter, is she old enough to ride a bicycle yet?
@gennepher I’m also staying in bed for another few minutes! Made coffee and brought it back with me.
Yesterday we had a ‘dog whisperer’ round to help us with a few small behavioural issues with Dennis. Mostly his nipping. People have said it’s just because he’s a puppy and he’ll grow out of it but it’s very annoying, painful and I can’t have that behaviour when the grandchildren are here. This chap was really amazing. He’s an Afghanistan veteran who was injured and had to find a new career. He loves dogs so decided to go with that. He worked for a while with Monty Roberts the famous horse whisperer and realised he could put the same body language knowledge to use in dog training. He was quite strict about what we had to do and Mr C said afterwards he thought I was about to cry at one point ( I was) Dennis looked so confused. The hardest part will be ignoring him for a minute or 2 when we come into the house, and telling visitors not to immediately bend down and greet him but to walk straight past with shoulders back, no eye contact. Within a minute or 2 little D stops bouncing and jumping up and just settled happily chewing a toy. Quite remarkable, normally he gets really excited by visitors, or any of us arriving home and we have inadvertently been exacerbating the problem by being so happy to see him too. There was so much to take in, I hope we can remember it all.

The dog whisperer sounds amazing @DJC3

@DJC3 isn't it so annoying when you get an unreliable high in the morning. I get them too. Of course they would be completely explainable if we had access to the inner workings of our body or maybe an instruction manual. Or maybe not if the instruction manual for my car is anything to go by.

Your dog whisperer sounds a really good find.
 
5.8 this morning. I had a bad day yesterday and went to bed with a migraine and very annoyed with myself. I started yesterday with about 6 inches of bracelet and finished with nothing. I snapped the thread so many times and had to restart. I then tried another bracelet and realised that I’d brought all the wrong beads and couldn’t do anything with what I’d got. So new order put in at midnight and I’m twiddling my thumbs today. Or going back to sleep if my migraine gets worse.
 
Morning...slightly chilly here but buffered by my cup of good hot coffee (extra large).. .still hooked on the machinations of Parliament I must stop watching the twists & turns of our political Landscape...it's almost as unpredictable as my FBG levels...woke to a 6.4
