15.9 at 03.45! Ouch! Took my normal basal insulin and added 10u of the bolus. It's dropped now to 7.3. What on earth did I do to deserve that? Maybe some thing to do with the Covid jab. My arm was, and is, actually more sore than on other occasions. Not to worry, BG's OK now. Not very...

Just got another appointment through the post - for an US scan of my liver. Not until late May though, so I can forget about that for a while. Walking marginally better than yesterday so I managed to get down the ramp to the car - didn't want Neil to have to run around too much with his bad...

Sun had some warmth in it when we went out this morning, but the wind was icy and now it's raining.

Leg bandaging this morning and a blood test at the same time so quick weigh in (disappointing) and shower and then trying to gee up a bit to get ready to go out. A little piece of left-over chicken and a cup of tea for breakfast. Still feeling rather weird but don't know why. Blood pressure...

One little piece of cold chicken for breakfast. Today will be 3 meals. 2nd one boiled eggs and 3rd one salmon with swede chips.

I have a Brie doing the same thing in the Fridge at the moment - much riper than I like my Brie. It wafts through the kitchen every time I open the fridge door. Seems a shame to dump it but I really don't want to eat it. Maybe Em's dogs would enjoy it.

Scrambled eggs and some crispy bacon for breakfast. 2nd meal will be roasted chicken thighs. Still no veg until after tomorrow's blood test.

5.9 at 03.45 today. One cup of tea brought it up to 7.9 and there it is hanging, probably until I have something to eat. Today Neil is nearly as bad as me - he pulled something in his back moving a vacuum cleaner during the night, so we're both hobbling around at the moment. I'm about to take...

Sensible as usual Antje. Can't offer advice on this - my relationship with Tom was very different and, once we had the 2 children we hoped for, he had a vasectomy. That's obviously not a route your friend (with benefits) would want to take. A barrier of some sort is the obvious answer...

Had my scrambled egg earlier in the afternoon but am feeling hungry again (BG down to 3.9) so will have a cup of warm milk - been a bit shaky all day so it might help.

5th November is celebrated in our family as one of our sons' birthday. Never could stand fireworks though - not only wasteful but polluting as well. I agree, celebrating the cruel death of anyone is barbaric. It was when it happened, and remains so. Still happenong in some places though.

Haven't eaten any meals today so far. Just feeling too sore and ill to do any thing but sit in my chair (feeling sorry for myself). I did warn Neil that I would need the wheelchair to ferry me out to the car but when it came to it, I realised that I could manage just with olne stick (a bit...

It's disappointing because I haven't really done much - plenty of plans but little action. One Move More class (very gentle exercise) and one trip to town - minimal walking but a lot of sorting through paperwork. It''s my arms, shoulders, neck and back that have suffered, not so much my legs...

7.4 at 03.30. Covid jab today but things are bad with me and Neil is going to have to bring the wheelchair in from the car in order to get me out of the house. Too much movement over the last few days has left me incapable of movement at all now. Need to rest today.

Me too. I don't have a reason though - apart from a tiny amount of movement in the last week I have to go for a Covid jab today but the way things are, Neil will have to bring the wheelchair in from the car (where it is stored) to take me out. I hate having to ask him but he really doesn't...
