I know I'll feel great when I've finished and recovered.

With me it's a constant battle, physically I am able to exercise, it's the voices in my head......."rest today....don't overdo it......it's late exercise tomorrow.....etc. "

My exercise plan for today is to strum all six strings on my guitar vigorously ... none of that finger picking on three strings.
I'll probably tap my foot too.
 
Dear Diabetes...........
You will behave in an acceptable manner.
I will do everything in my power to make you behave.
Whenever you rise above or below the levels I have set for you, watch out........If I'm going to die, I'll die fighting............now be good ;-)

Morning all

5.8 - higher by 1.4 than the lowest reading this week - boo.

Knackered, 4 hours kip and not helped by the clock changes! It's grey, cold, wet and miserable down here in saga central. Bullet proof coffee didn't even touch the sides and hasn't kicked in yet. The weather predicted to get wetter, windier, nastier as the morning goes on and I've got an hours drive to paddock wood to run a half marathon.

Bring it on!!

Why DO you call where you are Saga Central.....:confused::confused:

I have serious spinal problems regarding pain but I agree .... toothache has to be one of the worst pains we can suffer.

Long long ago when I was a teenager I had the most dreadful toothache for days.
I remembered reading that the brain can only deal with one serious pain at a time ... I had no idea how true this statement might be or where I'd read it.
I might even have imagined it.
But I had a plan.
I lived in a small flat at the time which had a large two bar electric heater .... the sole source of heating.
Put it on full stripped to the waist and sat cross legged in front of it with my back to it .... very close to it.
It worked!
Within fifteen minutes the toothache was gone.
I couldn't sleep properly for days because of the burns and blisters on my back ... could hardly move in fact and the AnE department had to help me out.
I know I know no need to say it .....

I was awol yesterday! Out for the day and much later back than planned!
Yesterday fasting was 5.7
Bedtime last night was 5.6

Today's fasting upon waking at 6.00am was 4.5, I didn't have a main meal last night just cold meat and cheese snacking, hot choc and a square of 70% at bed as I often do so the 70% was my only carb intake for the day. Didn't plan on getting up straight away but by 6.30 I felt very strange, empty yet nauseas, hot and spaced out, made myself a decaff coffee and actually had 2 rich tea fingers (the only biscuits I have in for my parrot! ) felt very Wierd after all this time not eating biscuits! One hour later I was 5.4 and two hours (after a snooze) 5.9

And now a couple of hours after my usual bacon and mushrooms sitting at a nice 5.7!

It is a known fact but also tis true that the body is more responsive to good, nice signals so the "rub it better" actually IS true..... soothing and stroking gentle touch is Transmitted to the brain faster than pain signals.... I think that's why heat (warming, not burning) helps to soothe as well.

Hope your back condition plays nice for you (I know you said it will never get better) and you stay pain free for as long as possible.......

Still there unfortunately. Ironic thing is that I had a check up at the dentists on Wednesday and got the all clear so I think he may have disturbed something. Looks a though I may be going back tomorrow or Tuesday if it doesn't settle.
