Ahh....Thank you susikav! It won't be every day I have to eat earlier and 1st of March I return to my main receptionist job at the holiday centre, will still be kept as relief at the homeless centre thoughYou are a dynamo - a very caring one...It might take a while to balance a new pattern in your life, might it? Your routine will be all over the place...
Sable Jan I knew you had naughtiness in you.Your caring nature led you to it....LOOOLL!!Ok, I admit, I was NAUGHTY too - had 2 shortbread biscuits post lunch- I had planned on one only but they were the last two in the tin from Xmas and I didn't want to leave that last one lonely......
Well done Daphne looking GOOD
I think the Chicken neutralised or slowed things down, the rice was Basmati and the small potatoes were new potatoes...Just all round i feel sharper these days...definitely think the 30 minutes toning in the gym has made things a lot better...
Thanks @Sable_Jan I have been floating you are spot on. from 86 even my nurse said last week I guess you will be about 58 and when it was 38 I was GabberFlasted...not flabbergasted...because there isnt a word for it...but all i did was follow the advice that people like you and Andrew Colvin and Blutit have given me. I only lost 1 and half stone in weight but that has made all the difference. I have been lucky my BP has always been good. As for taking credit your modesty is getting the better of you...you still have had to manage, just as I have..allow yourself that...yes of course the body has to be able to respond but you have to do something different to get and sustain the change. YOU DESERVE IT!Thank you @beatdise I'd love to take credit for the good figures but I was lucky being diagnosed early enough to have only just gone into prediabetic range last year because of my high BP. I have worked at getting back to normal range but lucky that my body seems to be bouncing back without too much damage with only having had higher bs levels for a short while..... Still astounded at your great results - I was floating for days when I got my HbA1c back as 39 so you must still be on cloud 9......
Have you tried looking at eBay - I use an Accuchek Nano and find that I can get the strips for half the price of getting them from a chemist
Well I liked the post but I doubt I'd like tea with coffee mate@Sable_Jan
Glad to say no rice just:
Chicken, mushrooms, red sweet pepper, red onion, garlic, cabbage olive oil.
My tea was made coffee mate.
I use soya milk these days - seemed a little strange at first especially using more of it to get the same "colour" but find I can switch easily between milks and not notice any difference in taste (it probably does but my taste buds are used to either milk now). Means I can have cocoa and latte with impunity now 
"meths week" lol, some kind of substance abuse issue going on here ? lolOr is it those hyperglycaemic meter melting readings making you delirious ? rofl
*sigh* I'm so easily pleased!Thanks
I get mine on eBay - some real bargains sometimes.......
Hah! Bravo... we are all easily pleased love... check the posts that give readings under 6!Yup, if only Eddie! Bloomin' predictive text...I give up!
Forgot to say I got a nice surprise yesterday as I had a delivery of a Contour Next USB free from lovely Bayer, despite having apparently applied for it after the closing date
Hoping you condition stabilises soon
