Morning All. 6.0 almost acceptable, like I said before no logic.
Hello to @N-D welcome and good FBG.
@Emma_369 good for you. I would be happy with that too.
Leaving Kent for home this evening. Have to pack No 2 son off to Uni in Bath for the last time. Then...I am off to Spain on Sun for 5 days to join fave bro and SIL.
Have a great day everyone. Good day to get washing dry!

over selling.... oh so many things are enthusiastically oversold
No one can be right on all things brassyblonde...however diabetes care is another matter...there does seem to be a general apathy towards T2 management that is alarming..I no longer see the DSN at my surgery who described me as obsessive for testing my BG...now like you I see my GP for reviews who when I asked him how much he knew about T2 said honestly 'not much'...I accept he is not a specialist on any given health matter...he is in general practice...the most I hope for is that he listens to me...supports my testing by prescribing strips & learns a little more about my condition when I have a review with him
Mental health is much worse. It killed my son https://sites.google.com/site/nosafeplaceforoscar/

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all insomniacs.
A 7.2 for me this morning no complaints from me, I ate it.

I would like to say thanks to all for your kind thoughts over yesterday's minor skin op. Sharp knives and lasers are a blessing along with the skilled staff who use them.

Well folks what have planned for today ? I'm thinking about catching the corporation bus into Reading with my mates chaos and mayhem and winding up an officious traffic warden.......now I never said I was nice did I.
Whatever you do enjoy

I am so sorry to hear that Orson...the funeral I went to last week was a friends who had mental health problems too...she didn't get the help or support she needed & was entitled to either...while it's painful to address....it's a subject that's not broached often enough...there is a scandalous lack of resources for mental health services...particularly acute mental health services.

5.2 this morning. Not keen on quite such an early start or a sudden gain of a kg. My body does not like being down in keto level carbs much at all. Could be fun this week as it is Embertide and I was going for the 3 traditional fasts. May have to change plans to the modern abstain idea. September has not gone well but hope springs eternal. Today's was the lowest fbg for this day of last 3 years:)
Ah yes today is Ember Wednesday thanks for reminding me.
