Bg doing its own thing as usual, not helped by a sensor that reads 2-3 higher than finger prick every time you move, just keep picking different yoga on my app so it doesn’t get too boring
Gyms been shut this week for electrical refurbishment
How are you? Your bg seems to be stable, not surprising all the exercise & effort you put in

Tough doing without gym I bet. But you're keeping that good diet and exercise going. You know you can get monitors than can measure your A1C now from a finger prick? If you're concerned about the high readings from the sensor might be worth getting one to check it every couple of months. I bet your A1C is in a good place.

I'm doing good thanks, looking forward to Christmas going to be a full house. Better stock up on chocolate (for the kids of course) :)

Missing walking a lot outside with this weather though!
