Driving to the local tip just to get rid of a handful of dead batteries seems a little ungreen
Do you frequent any high street shops / supermarkets? I take my old batteries to Morrisons or Boots, but I'm sure most other largish shops have tubs for them.

Thanks so much. I am four years in and first two years I was mostly 5s with the odd 4 but in the last year I have struggled to move out of the 6s and absolutely hate 7s. I try hard maybe not hard enough but feel I’m on a slippery slope.
Is it only your FBG which is higher than you would like? I seem to remember that your last HbA1c was fine.

I hadn't thought of that! Resident BlokeShape is 'clinically extremely vulnerable' so we've been minimising such trips, but I'll check local branches and pop in when I have a supply to get rid of.

Too many to list here . . .

What’s a “b/s day”? Oh my, you’ve got a complex control system? Yes? I’m only on Metformin and LCFH. So, that low numbers is a good or bad thing for you?

I indulged in red wine with dinner last night. Then a rum night cap. Fasting this morning, 5.8. Go figure.
Not practical to continue this regime on a daily basis, but oh, so tempted.
:D <— my mood today.

:woot: for bg and good mood - especially as today is Blue Monday. Just how "practical" for 99% of us is LC day in day out either? It also isn't 100% settled science. Big picture requires some well structured R and R just not wild carb orgies. When so doing there is a handy little meme attached. Back off Pearl Clutchers.

7.5 - As long as I get a sprinkling of these near-to morning 6s I’ll keep bashing on and take the long-term over view, as per @ianpspurs often recommends. I had a good sleep last night.

Happy Mondays.

B/s is blood sugar, it’s the drop that’s scary, feel sick, dizzy & the room spins, like that most days
