@PenguinMum you are far from clueless - things will come right. Mine was 4.9 today. Actual level higher than ideal but food choices I made and method of offsetting them worked which frequently isn't the case for me or others. Recognisable Sunday roast (rib of beef) with carby elements (new potato and new carrot, 1 roast onion, head of broccoli roasted from frozen, 1 pepper and tomato plus gravy :). 1 glass of Tempranillo - compromise. I did at least 1000 steps every hr from eating until bed time. Not perfect but acceptable compromises. 2 big T2 related anniversaries for me this week
Thanks Ian though its hard to fathom. Slept ok ate chicken and broccoli only. Hope its not the two gins beforehand lol. I like the sound of all your dinner inc Tempranillo. My favourite wine is Ribera del Duero but only makes economic sense in Espana. Happy dual anniversaries I go up a year on Wed which is not worth marking without all my boys.

4,2 this morning it was. Drove down to Oxford this morning and back in the afternoon no one feels like cooking so have much against my better judgment agreed to a take away .

4.8 this morning. My new sensor caused my MM to alarm three times overnight. Hopefully, with all the new calibrations, it will settle down. Advice is to place it on my arm 24 hours before activating it. Something I must try.

5.4 . If the weather wasn’t so awful I would turn a few carwheels up the road. As it is, I will celebrate with an extra slice of lemon in my glass of filtered water.

Read somewhere on this forum about how to grow ginger from supermarket ginger root. Now I’ve got a ginger plant. Who would have guessed I had green fingers
Ooh, I like that idea. Have been planting seeds and fighting the slugs and pigeons who seem to think my offerings are lunch. Maybe they would not like ginger. Will have a try.

A day for congratulations, basking in the righteous light of hard work and dedication being rewarded. The road ahead stretches far and flat. Good man yourself.
