What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

4.7 libre. breakfast short walk. making start on wrapping some of the few xmas presies got already. still got loads to buy .. doing that tomorrow (queue dependant may need seperate shopping trip). dragging daughter along tomorrow to get some more things, her own fault if she doesnt like queues been asking her to do for umpteen weeks before shops get busy also said could send a list likes of amazon shopping basket getting too close to xmas now for my liking usually would of finished all xmas shopping by november and wrapped at least half. So disorganised this year.
 
7.3 today, like others having to go out shopping today. Not my favourite hobby and even worse near Xmas! However has to be done and might even get "brownie points" if I can resist moaning about prices and complaining about carb values listed on back of packets. I am not a betting person but I would not put money on the day finishing well.
 
A friends sixtieth birthday required my presence for a pub supper last night

A new pub in town attached to a brewery. I passed on their award winning beer but downed several glasses of red along with a nicely cooked steak

Owing to a long taxi wait I walked home briskly… stayed up very late chatting to family on different time zones.

I woke with a five point five on libre

5.1 libre. Dry at the moment :) breakfast, school run then seeing physcologist 6th appt with them for needlephobia/blood tests. Todays appt is the final one max of 6 allowed for primary care physcologists within highland and islands health board area apparently. Really don't see the point of seeing them today as its a 'discharge appt' to me thats a waste of time. Recap some leaflets info (which have and know). The only thing which was useful was the ability for them to prescribe above the 'usual' amount of tablets that a gp can to try help settle nerves. other techniques such as breathing and trying to keep self occupied was aware of and do try. I've to get back to the diabetic consultant by end of next week to give reply if i'm upto teplizumab iv which can extend honeymoon period for t1/lada. At the moment don't think I could tolerate it :(

A foggy and snowy day. Why does it snow when it's plus 2 degrees…what a mess.
Did get to the gym before the snow started and had a godd leg workout. Was snowing when I left the gym but did get a couple of quick stops in before the roads got too bad. It’s since stopped snowing, just a few cm, so I will be removing that snow from our driveway, deck and patio after tea.
 
5.2libre 5.6 fingerpick.
breakfast short walk then heading mainland fingers crossed shops are not total chaos will lol though if is dragging daughter to get her xmas shopping too placing a bet she will regretting her decision for last umpteen weeks of doing or just giving me a list.
