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

[Annb]

Are you sure these are bona fide workmen @Annb who know what they are doing?

They were working for a well-liked local firm, so I think they were OK. Just a bit "Hebridean" in their work practices.

Sounds similar to the
"Normal for Norfolk".

5.2 this morning.
Some times the predictive text seems to know what you are going to say before you do other times when combined with the spell checking you get words inserted that just make what you post nonsensical I’m often having to correct the corrections.

I'd be inclined to turn off both tools @JohnEGreen. They sound as though they're more of a nuisance than they're worth.

Tuesday's FBG 4.5 mmol on waking at 6.00 am.

Creative...one line sketch.
These 3 people were talking ages.
I was watching them.
I was drinking my cuppa tea having a rest between shops.
Then I thought I will try and draw them.
I thought they would move before I finished.
But they didn't.
Their bodies moved position slightly.
I don't like sounding my own trumpet, but this might be the best one I have done yet...it surprised me when I took my drawing finger off the screen...

Warm today.
Hayfever again.
Eyes tired...it's the hayfever...
I think a nap now...

Have your best day...

A brilliant one line squiggle @gennepher. It can't be easy knowing your subjects could depart at any moment!

Enjoy the day.

5.5 this morning.
Am hoping roads are not flooded as we have had torrential downpours overnight and this morning and my route to my venue is down some winding county roads.

It is definitely a warm jumper and waterproofs day today, and of course lots of coffee.

 

[JohnEGreen]

This morning fbg is 5.2
Has been tipping it down all night and still is this area is prone to flooding so we shall see what the day brings.

4.5 at 05.45 today. Currently at 5.1 after 2 cups of tea and some pain killers. Breakfast soon and we'll see what happens.

EDIT: Libre alarm went off 3 times in the night because BG kept dropping too low. I keep a packet of fruit pastilles beside my bed to cover any low that happens and had to have about 5 of them in all so really expected BG to be on the high side this morning.

6.3 BG levels seem to be bouncing on a rollercoaster.

Other than a couple of appointment making phone calls and a letter telling us that the gas pipe work outside will start next week. I have had a quite relaxed day so far.

I'm still getting over How bad the blood contamination victims have been treated by our society.
As with post office, covid and of course Hillsborough, the reply from so called witnesses, that they cannot remember, is so blatant and disrespectful to those that have suffered.
And historical wrongs, are reverberating through the list of our once empire guilty instances.

How can a corrupt police system prosecute fellow corrupt lawbreakers?
Society has to change.

Sitting in the garden, could be heavy rain later. Quite nice out.
And the weather's not bad either.I
My best wishes to you all as is the norm now!

That was 30 years ago. apparently there are many present injustices need sorting.We just need to be lucky

Looks like I have run out of good health but I soon be 85.
Best wishes to all
Derek

Sadly, the "Good old days" never really were that good. The good that some enjoyed was created by the exploitation of others and was always based on injustice. The Pax Romana was excellent for some, but was based on the subjugation of others - so it probably was before the first century of the CE and so it has been ever since. We are all guilty of this on all our levels of society. Christianity might have helped, as might other world religions, but all seem to have become part of the subjugation/exploitation scene, very rapidly. It's time humanity grew up and took responsibility for its actions. We most certainly know better now although we don't necessarily have the ability to change our ways. We must though.

Good morning everyone on a fog laden, precipitous start to what looks like deluge Wednesday here in the dark and dangerous north. Buy one, get one free weather events are over rated. Just seen someone festooned with waterproof clothing walking his or her or its rain caped dog up the road, hand full of little black bags. Don’t know who looks more dejected, the human or the dog as they disappear back into the fog. Art bit - saw a photo recently of the Hallgrimskirkja church in Reykjavik, so, just for fun - “In Reykjavik a little known sect of Gaussian Mathematicians are praying for the return of the Standard Distribution. Outliers are shunned and sent to Purgatory which has now grown more popular than Coventry.” Have a smasher of a day, especially if you are part otter. It’s pre-bin day so I expect to get wet putting them out - which saves on shower water. I think that I shall have another koffy and put on a ganzy.

And it is set to become even more interesting as Ford launch Hands free driving and turning humans into optional extra vehicle components.

Hi Ann.
I think if we have if we have a fully functioning family society seems a lot better.

All very well but there are those who don't even have enough food for the day, never mind storing an emergency kit. There are also those who have no space to store the amount of food and water that would keep them going for 3 days. Fine if you can - waste of breath if you can't. As usual, recommendations are aimed at those who already have more than others. Those "others" are just "acceptable casualties", as usual.

I am reliably informed that the corridor leading to the x-ray department at Kingsmill hospital is flooded patients are advised to take a rubber dinghy and life jacket with them when attending their appointments.
