Hi PM had so much difficulty getting on here this morning...cold/cough is full on at the moment hoping it has come to its zenith now...so hopefully I'll be feeling the effects less...taking the meds/cold cures & another day at home lounging on the soafa and doing things just for moi@HarryBeau are you feeling any better? Can you have a quiet day tomo?
What you like sitting on the cross bar? Take me awhile to peddle up to your neck of the woods, you might be late home.Caught up! @Muddy Cyclist can you get your trumpet out and give me a fanfare!!! And bring your bike, I need a lift home!!! Feel I've run a marathon and taken 1st prize!!!
A very late Good Morning although I have been up since 5 am. Hung on before posting until I could get my HbA1c test results after yesterday's blood giving. So it's gone down BUT NOT ENOUGH to 42 so still have some serious work to do, need to get rid of those many 6's on a daily basis. Back to the drawing board.
So you are at the magic 42 level after 6 months? - all good. Don't take it so hard deary ™ Lionel BlueA very late Good Morning although I have been up since 5 am.

Today's readings are a typical example of my morning readings after 12 hour fasts. 5.5 on getting up, breakfast today Scrambled egg, smoked salmon, yogurt and seeds, then a 6.9 or 6.5 depending on what finger you believe. This is obviously pushing the 12 week averages up.
Great to see the thread move on so fast although hard to keep up with so much news and chat.
So because I have granddaughter to keep me occupied please accept my humble apologise in taking the easy option out and doing a global hugs for all needing them, joy to all those with great numbers and good news, get well all who are under the weather, enjoy the nice things you are doing today, tolerate the horrible things.
Spent an age trying to get on this morning, anyway, 5.9 was my number.
Had an early appointment with the nurse for my annual 'fat matey weighty' session. Now she has all my records right there and proceeds to tell me I must eat 3 times a day and include a wide range of fruit. I laughed, in fact, I found it hard to stop. Even when I told her I was T2 she insisted she was right and that I should consider porridge for breakfast. I bowed out gracefully but I was fuming.
I know my weight hasn't really dropped, and I know it may be due to the steroids I have to take. I do my best with what I have. It's Friday so... do whatever
That good enough for this review MC its down & you've made progress I have never got down to 42 and I've been at this for almost three and a half years...I have more carbs than some here I don't do as much exercise as I used to however I am okay as long as I know I'm doing as much as I can...we need to be realistic about how fast we can reduce those BG's...you did fine honestly.BUT NOT ENOUGH to 42
Love the attitude to nursey's strictures and from my limited aquaintance with steroids you have my full sympathy. From everything you post you are doing all you can. Hang tough.Spent an age trying to get on this morning, anyway, 5.9 was my number.

Ignore her OBB frustrating I know but we have to pick our battles carefully & come the day our HCP's have to discuss our conditions with us & accept we know how to look after ourselves...I'd love to see her reaction...cheer yourself up get that bin out even if it's not bin day that always seems to create a frisson of excitement among us.I bowed out gracefully but I was fuming.
Thanks and that's a good take on things.I think my take on it is.
