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

Best night sleep in 4 days
Give the best BG in 4 days
7.1...,not too shabby given it's 14 days plus of hospital food :)
 
Greetings all. These things I know: Swipey showed 5.1 @ 4.10 am. I don't need to wake that early and knowing my fbg won't alter how I handle T2. Fish salad for 90+% of my main meals and lots of tea. More sleep would be a better option. Yesterday I ate an orange and cranberry mince pie with orange pastry, made (mincemeat and all) by JKP and Beryl the Peril - Minnie the Minx needed and afternoon nap. Denis the Menace felt the ipad was the best option. Spectacular rise for bg but home again for bedtime. @gennepher appalling service but wonderful creative. Best wishes for the jab. @jjraak hug for all the worry and trouble but it sounds promising for your long term, what a great attitude and yes, hospital food and Elsie are incompatible. Who thought it would be a good idea to collect a turkey from the farm gate (80 mile round trip)? Probably the man who never planned on having 3 grandchildren and a streaming cold (that's all LTs show) on the day. What jolly japes does your day have in store? Pip Pip Old Toots.

5.0 this morning. Coffee drunk (I am on my 3rd cup at the moment), dogs walked in the rain and now am at the computer updating 1:1 clients lesson plans. It is going really well and should all be finished this afternoon. Have also tidied the chaos of paperwork on the dining room table and the table in the conservatory plus caught up with some reading.

It's heavy going home traffic on a horrendous rainy dark and stormy evening.
What's wrong now?
My windscreen wipers are broken. They are behaving erratically. Suddenly going fast, suddenly going slow, and stopping totally when I drive under a bridge.
I feel physically sick.

@gennepher that is a nightmare. Hope you can sort the wipers
I love your Christmas cards.
 
Good national bin day Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.
A 4.7 this morning before being dragged round food shop like a naughty boy.
For some known reason me and me’s are not trusted with the shopping and compiling shopping lists also it seems writing cards for “ Her “ fiends, my friends don’t expect cards from me.
Well, me and me’s hope the poorly ones get well soon and the rest of you all stay well.
 
Just got back from the vaccination centre.

I was expecting to get Pfizer, the same as my other two jabs.
But they said they were giving me Spikevax today.
What's Spikevax I ask?
Oh, it's Moderna they said. It is very similar to Pfizer, in make up, and the rest of the explanations were lost on me.
You only have to wait 5 minutes with this one the Spikevax, then you can go. But are you driving? Yes, I said. Then you need to wait an additional 15 minutes otherwise your insurance is invalid. But you can wait that 15 mins in your car.
So, I get up to go, and this other guy also waiting in the waiting area says you have to wait in here for 15 mins. I tell him I was only told to wait 5 mins. And I leave, and finish my waiting in my car.
So, I am thinking, maybe he had the Pfizer?
And was it random that I got the Spikevax?
I don't think Spikevax is a good name...
I feel fine, or did until I got home. I feel rather cold, waves of cold. Don't know if this is the vaccine, or because it is cold anyway. Got central heating on full blast, and am under my electric blanket, also on full blast. I do get affected by the cold easily anyway.
I am going to make another cuppa and snuggle under the electric blanket. And read what the government site says about Spikevax.
Catch you later...

Added to this.
It wasn't a reaction to the vaccine these horrible waves of cold, although I felt really ill earlier. It was that I got too cold waiting outside the vaccination centre waiting for the Covid jab.
But I didn't feel the cold was that bad while I was waiting (I never do), although it was bitterly cold. The bitter cold affected very me badly right inside my body about an hour later.
I really need that real fur coat of hers that my grandmother had given me when I was a teenager.
I badly need one sub zero temperature coat that goes below my hips.
I've just looked online, but anything is way outside of my price range...

As far as the Spikevax jab goes, I don't appear to have any adverse effects to it yet.
Hope that will continue.

I need to go into the Tardis (garage) tomorrow and see what old long jackets I have stored in there.

Good morning everyone from a zombi-like state here in the dark and dangerous north
the wonder wheel of out at the pub came in at 5.5 this am

Amitryptelin- can’t see if that is right - but anyhow - took 2 x 10mg tablets at 9pm and by 10.30 the film I wanted to watch turned into a blur and I went to bed. Slept until 7.30 - result - but will try just one this am (doc said that I could take up to three).
Mrs Miggins is taking everyone on the Santa Special on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway today - everyone frantically dressing on sparkly things and multitasking with breakfast toast with chocolate spread. Three small versions of the Joker from Batman.

Another Christmas theme this morning. Hope you all have a good day. Koffy time.

Amitriptyline is brilliant @dunelm Sometimes less is more. And I can find that taking the 10mg as separate doses over a few hours is better than taking all three 10 mg together.
But it's whatever works for you.

Brilliant!
I love your gentle robins...

Good morning,

Fbg was 5.0 this early morning. I think I slept better and was definitely less anxious than last few nights.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas eve! We are having nibblies at the in laws tonight. Hope it's not too hot either today!
 
A sad duty to report

But the gasps for air from those suffering covid is truly awful to hear.

Please god grant them some respite and recovery :nurse:.
