I guess you are never too old to live a new experience.

After trying for an hour to find a route to get to work I just gave up and returned home.

Our roads have turned to rivers and there are stalled cars everywhere.

You can see the bonnet of my car bottom left of this picture. I drive quite a tall SUV!

The black Mercedes C class in this photo was actually floating on the water. It could be seen moving up and down like s boat on the waves or a piece of driftwood.

I think I will stay warm and dry at home for a while and try again this afternoon.

We don't often do rain in Cyprus but when we do....

PS two hours post breakfast of frozen raspberries blueberries and Greek yoghurt 5,6 mmol

Stay safe or go for a swim
 
5.7 (average of 5.6/5.8) after bedtime of 5.1 - maybe I should have retested the 5.1 ;)
 
5.4 this morning - had gone to bed on 4.8 and had my usual virtually carb free hot chocolate and some cheese as I hadn't had my usual raspberries and cream after dinner, strangely didn't fancy them! Very unusual!
Absolutely freezing here again, showing -1 with real feel of -7, really festive but not nice to get around in!
 
6.1 here. Went to bed on 6.1 too. Ought to have tested at 7 when I woke up but it was dark and cold so I went back to bed. Should have just got up as my frozen shoulder started screaming at me... Just been reading it can take up to 3 years to go fully. Between that, fibromyalgia, anxiety and diabetes I may just ask our nice vet to put me down!! At least it's not raining here @pavlosn stay safe in all of that. A day for staying at home and dusting the Christmas decorations , maybe?

Had the same thing Frozen Shoulder abt 7/8 years ago regrettably it did take 2/3 years to fully free up but the pain decreased rather rapidly to a dull ache, hope you recover quicker
 
5.1 for me at 10am. Think it's just a cup of tea for breakfast. Pre lunch reading will therfore be interesting.....
 
5.2 at bedtime (bang on normal)
Fasting 6.3/6.1/6.2 Re-tested due to apparent larger than normal liver dump.

Going back to what people were saying about blood blobs. If mine come out a thin red, or smeared, I discard and prick again in case it is affected by finger being damp after washing or contamination on the skin, or because squeezing has caused other things to come out, and because it says something about that in the meter instructions. (Accu chek leaflet). I think it is the dark red round blob that is the correct one. I believe some people (type 1's) usually wipe away the first blob and squeeze again. I have seen comments about this on other threads. Could be @noblehead.

Yet plus or minus 15% could show readings of 30% apart. I'd say that consistently "reasonable", over time still keeps us on the straight and narrow. If I get a low number, good; if not I'll think yep, mayb carbs on high side/portion was a bit big. As long as averages are going the right way, and the weight going down then all's good in the Hill household. Don't think it does the health any favours stressing about the fine tuning. @Bluetit1802 I know it worries you and care that it does - but this is just me and how I feel about it/deal with it. We're all different and I respect that

Thank you for caring, Jan, but please don't worry. I'm not stressing and it doesn't spoil my day in any way! I'm just a pedant that likes accuracy! I know my numbers are good. x
