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

[Krystyna23040]

It is important to know what happened to your cat. To give we some closure as well.
@lindisfel Yes, it was sad about that white cat

Yes @gennepher I agree that it is so important and does give us some closure. It must be so horrid not to know what happened.

Morning all on a dull, wet and distinctly cool day here. The type of day where I acutely feel the need for a bowl of food that gives me a warm, tender, loving and lasting hug leaving me feeling that the world is a better place without finding two hours later that my supposedly loving friend was actually my arch enemy hell bent on destroying my very being, My search for low carb comfort food has so far, almost 7.5 years, involved ingesting innumerable variations of what seem to have been Dementor's Kisses. Today I will try to recreate what is stored in Cronometer as P's hot chocolate which isn't Starbucks, bu fits the eat to your meter bill. Moving on; I tested negative today and JKP made it downstairs for a while yesterday and hopes to do more today. That should be good for me to keep an eye on what she is ordering on that iPad of hers. Parts of this abode look like a warehouse just now. @dunelm enjoy the walk but schadenfreude isn't good. Thanks for the art and I await the denouement which is always a crowning glory. I beg to profoundly differ over there being no such thing as bad weather. @gennepher glad you enjoyed the Mortimer tale, there is a whole youtube section of them. Thanks for the creative which is very like today here so far. @Krystyna23040 I knew you wouldn't take it easy and I'm not surprised your body recognised that level of squats in a week. Did Mr K binge watch rugby yesterday? Great French Try right at the end. Do enjoy your day. I found some food in the freezer which we obviously froze because I enjoyed it. I know this because otherwise we would have thrown it away and it looks to be very tomato based. I will not test two hours later because I must have done so the first time round. However, Bono and the boys, especially The Edge, say hi -

We had a half blind, deaf dog which my parents couldn't bring themselves to have euthanized (not only doesn't that sound right, it doesn't look right either). One warm summer's day he wandered into the road and lay under an ice cream van. When it moved off the vibration must have disturbed him and the inevitable happened. The van driver was mortified but we reassured him, took the dog in and buried him in his favourite spot.

I bookmarked the series, I will look later @ianpspurs thank you.

Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks for the U2 lyrics...

Glad JKP is feeling better...
Your living room must look like a warehouse of boxes...

Thank you on behalf of JKP. It is the diner end of the kitchen diner which looks like a warehouse. The bind moggles at the contents. Who knew what I didn't know we didn't need until I didn't know we'd bought it?

Yes, it is awful not knowing what happened to your pet.Em's dog, Bella, ran after the other 2 bigger dogs when they broke out of the garden and that was the last time she was seen, despite appeals and notices around the village and 3 searches of the moorland. We think, perhaps, that all 3 dogs ran out onto the moor and the younger ones came back to the village, where we saw them outside our house and got them into the car but Bella wasn't with them. They must have left her behind. She was a bit older (8) and had a bit of arthritis, so she would be slower than them. We keep imagining how she must have died - trapped in a bog, drowned in a pool or just exhausted. It's upsetting to think that she may have lingered, alone and afraid. I don't suppose we will ever know.

One of the most annoying things about it is that they did have a device to put on a collar which could have led them to her in time but it was intended for the younger dogs who were in the habit of straying together. Bella never went out of the garden unless with someone taking her for a walk, so nobody thought of putting it on her collar.

She wasn't my dog but even so, it brings tears to my eyes thinking about her, even after all these months.

Just come across this in YouTube

FBG 8.5. Risen now, even after insulin and breakfast to 11.9.

Just making my experimental cake for my Monday visitor (who will be coming on Tuesday this week because I have an appointment on Monday). Many years ago we used to buy ready ground "Viennese coffee" which was flavoured with figs, though you couldn't actually taste the figs; it was just a very mellow coffee. So this week I thought I would make a coffee cake with chopped up figs in it. Don't know if it will work, but we shall see. It's due out of the oven in about 5 minutes.

Afternoon, good afternoon one or 6 of me, me’s and myself hope.

Blood sugars this morning were 5.5.

For once I didn’t oversleep, but got stuck into doing stuff, then hey presto it’s afternoon and time for lunch. Lots going on here in Tilehurst Towers and full supervision is the order of the day.

Well fellow posters and painters stay safe, hugs where required and remember to look left, right and keep looking as you attempt to cross the road, these new electric cars, scooters, bicycles are cop27 friendly but lethal to pedestrians.

Dogs! I give up. Having rehomed Banksie and Kraven (the remaining male pup from Ginnie's litter) and deciding to rehome Ginnie once she has had this litter, I have been informed that Em's big sister has decided that she can't keep either Banksie or the other (female) pup from the first litter. So, Banksie has come back to the too small house, Ginnie is still there and the female pup has been rehomed to a family on the other side of the Island. No more big dogs, they said. And there they are with the 2 big dogs who were the most difficult to deal with. It makes little sense to me. Alistair tried to explain the new plan, but I don't think his heart is in it.

Might be at cross purposes here @Granny_grump_

My post was more tongue in cheek.

I'd replied, and didn't consider the OP might be using another platform, tablet laptop etc .

I put my hands up to not considering that....

So flipped it to be a more flippant cancel culture post and being a roaring rabid phone zealot.

Hence the "There is only one true God/platform...."...quote...



Though I am aware other threads can be a little more 'rigid' in regards to post wandering off point ....I've been THAT poster..

I wasn't aware there was now a sin-bin with Twitter like restrictions .?

Hope it all blows over and everyone moves on swiftly...

A warm 'evening all '

BG's not settling yet, need to knuckle down next week.

Gym going really well.
Sat on sofa, managed to stand up in one movement without grabbing or pulling myself up by anything.

Might not sound much, but when getting off the sofa has seemed more like scaling K2, it felt great.


Downstairs Neighbour passed away recently.

Next door neighbour spoke to him, 6am...sat on steps outside half dressed awaiting ambulance ...SIX Hours .

He had my number, I could have taken him, only a short drive
But no one called or knocked.

Saddened by the what if.
RiP my friend.

Dad's birthday coming up.
Lost him 2009.

Bored so sat listening to Alexa & UK top 40....when did it get so poor.?

Not their demographic, obv.
I guess Grumpy ol man territory steaming into view...

Anyway heard this one, which i guess sums it up well for many

Hugs for the 'What ifs'
But nothing we can do about it. Nothing we can change for that person.
But we are still here, to help the next person in need...
And we will...
Sometimes we need to let people know they can ask...


I like the song and words.
