@PenguinMum how are the kitties getting along now? The KittenCat just survived the trauma of being PETTED by the maintenance man!!! O woe is meow for I am PETTED by a NotU!!! she said to me while he remarked on her big eyes ... well yeah dilated pupils will do that ...
He is a good man with 3 kitties of his own but he is NotMe!!!

I honestly forgot my meter this morning .... seriously.

Aw poor KC..

(lovely wording, btw...a Notu.... )

You may have the gingers; I would like the little torti-and-white .... oh, wait ... no, the KittenCat says We would not like that one ... or any of the others ... ^. .^

A very curious ad just popped up onto my screen -- a row of coats and other wraps, with the notice MORE CHOO.
I don't get it. They were clothes, not steam locomotives.
Now, market this, with the notice MORE CHOO, and I would get it. --

Just working that out. Collaboration. Once my bits done (houses sold/rented) I'm on a mission. I mean business. Its going to be diabetes all day every day! Not far off now Eric might say Haha

Your energy makes me breathless. You really are a force to be reckoned with. Go Debs!

 

[SaskiaKC]

@PenguinMum maybe we should get a ginger for @HarryBeau , for Plumpy ...

 

[jjraak]

i'd say be careful... the two at the back look like trouble..

I'm representing all of us that want change. I do my little bit. You do so much on the forum. I'm in awe. Such a positive force. We all so our bit where we can to help. This friendly little thread makes me smile every day. I love the banter. All the different personalities blend so well I feel.

Meeting went well. Got bread rolls!!! BREAD ROLLS I SAY!!! And loaves of bread!!! Low carb heaven. In freezer. Not testing til after my hba1c at gp Friday. Bread still scares me Haha. Saturday will be a bacon butty. Might even add a dash of HP!!! What a rebel. Then I will watch my.CGM graph (who needs TV!!!).

 

[PenguinMum]

@jjraak lol they are probably all trouble...they would all wreck our furniture chew our carpet and provide lots of undesirable “gifts” but hey who can resist a warm cat on your lap on a cold night purring as loud as one of their ancestors on the savannah. Bliss.

I second @DJC3 you really are a fabulous force in bringing education and encouragement to Diabetics. Your encounter with the lady under 40 who has had such a bad experience was a case in point. Yes agree this thread is just wonderful...nobody judges anyone we all have our own challenges but we support each other with humour and friendship. Long may that continue.

Will/ is the bread available to buy now or is it still being developed?
I can imagine that the CGM is pretty addictive viewing
Ps agree about this thread it is such a comfortable place to relax in.

back from docs..long day.

Flu Jab ..done.
Asthma review went really well, no change to meds.
breathing above average for age. etc

but a bit of a mix up on the hba1c,
seems it was a review with DN, not hba1c blood draw.

however at reception when i booked i assumed they would know which it was,
which i thought was fine as they booked me in to get bloods taken etc.

but lovely nurse checked, and it was a review only.
Made real effort for me and got me back in next weds for the REVIEW

so not a complete waste of a day much done.and perhaps i should have been clearer when booking appointments.

hey ho..tomorrow is another day.

Cauliflower baileys is a typo Haha. That made me giggle. Cauliflower cheese.

What a relief, I am fairly imaginative but Cauliflower Baileys, really?

 

[Muddy Cyclist]

Me to, steering well clear.

My HbA1c is Thursday, so I have promised myself I will start experimenting more with the food I have cut out if it's lower than the 44 score last time if not then I am afraid I will be like a ship at sea without a rudder.

I agree @jjraak . Marley needs a little brother. Or a little sister. Or one of each. Or all of the above. Or ...

Good names for new kittens though, Cauli and Bailey?

Glad it went well re flu jab and asthma check up. I’ve had the same issue with diabetic reviews. To me it means HbA1c and discussing progress but I think to most GP receptionists it is the general foot check, height and weight etc with HCA. It’s taken me 3 tries at my new surgery to get a review. I have another appt at the end of the month but I’m still not sure it’s for HbA1c

Brilliant!!

Foot check @Muddy Cyclist ?
