Yay for the sixes. Hope the cough is getting better. @DEBBIESCOTT enjoy SW19 - JKP and family lived there - could hear the noise of ball on racquet- and hated that fortnight. Go Team D.
Thanks Ian. Now feels like a chest infection, gave up trying to sleep at 05.30 and headed for the sofa and tea. FBG then was 8.2 so I have decided to stop testing for a few days. Happy Wednesday everyone.

Sometimes all testing does is remind one that illness/stress/the weather etc mess with bg and no amount of tweaking diet will solve that so best to take a break. @Pipp I genuinely think that is on topic.

Too many to list here . . .
7.7 - “Sunset Strip!

And in other news, the Double Glazing Army have pulled up their tent-pegs, doused their fires, fed their Peugeot Van and head off for Glass Fields new.

5.6 for me today. It is a bit disappointing for me since my fasting numbers have always been in the 4s.

Missed posting yesterday due to problems with app... probably just as well as it was my worst in quite some time.

This morning was a miserable 8.5. At least down on yesterday. Fingers crossed tommorrow brings better things.

Still good number, though, @SZB2357 . I think that because it matches mine today, and I am very happy with that.
@kateivanen welcome here, and hope you will stay with us, and see your fasting levels improve.
