6.6 - “Whilst in the Land o’ The Sticky-Sixes, Estragon mused on the repetitiousness of existence. Then went into the garden and ate……..

Sunday will be relatives and Leg of Lamb accompanied by Cote du Rhône. That always cheers me up.

Morning all. 5.7 on Swipey - no it won't do. My hunch is I simply have no bandwidth to deal well with bugs on the <1800 cals which is all I can usually force myself to eat by constraining carbs to 15-30. I managed 5 years much better but this move is a pig to integrate into a lifestyle I understand anymore. 2 thinking caps needed fella. I simply hate losing anything and yes I know being a Spurs fan I should be used to it.

Load eating , idiots.
5.8 this morning at 0645.

Started using a Libre 2 for first time yesterday, so I can track BG trends while running, really surprised for the size of what looks like the needle in the applicator , I didn’t feel it go in at all , now assume that the needle looking thing is just a guide and the sensor itself is a lot thinner !

Oh, man…never heard you so down…. The Spurs-Thing, you’ve got a great chance this afternoon, says the man who supports The Saints.

5.6 this morning, still pretty pleasing overall. 10 days until my blood test for my three monthly review so want to keep on keeping on until then and then we can see what happens.

6.2 for me today - possibly result of a few chips and onion rings from last night - possibly not. MIA as now back working (the rat race) and me and family had covid.

Enjoy what is left of your weekend folks :)

7.8 - Eight hours after food, went to bed on a 5.1. Present experience indicates I’ll be back in the 6s this afternoon.

4.7 today - the usual Sunday lunch wine effect.
@Mrs T 123 I hope you have fully recovered now. Covid seems to give people higher than usual BGs for quite some time.
