What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

5.9 this morning.

Mr K was naughty and carried a heavy bag of dog food out of the car so he was sore today, but insisted that we still did the Sunday morning visit to our local market town and of course we were dragged by Bonnie to Starbucks for her puppuccino.

He is feeling less sore now. The panadol did help.
 
Blood sugars this morning were 8.3

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, isn’t it pleasant to have something nice to look forward to? All you need to do is avoid all the media and weather forecast, get a little gentle exercise and most importantly be a multi millionaire :-)

Koffy is calling, I’m smiling, yep I have wind !
 
6.0 this morning.

@alf_Josiah just having a koffy to look forward to really makes me happy.

Have just received an email from Costa coffee that made me really happy. I had to sign up to their app and add my Costa club card to it before I could get the free coffee i was due on my card.

Disaster struck and I made a hash of signing up and I didn't add my card so was assigned a new number.

Costa has sorted it and my card and points are on the app. - so free coffee at our next visit.
 
Blood sugars this morning were 6.7

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen, here in a very wet Tilehurst Towers my day is a total unknown until this evening, luckily Mrs J will fill my day with in all probability un welcome tasks.

Stay dry if you can.
 
5.3 at 03.00 today.

Frustrating day today. As you will know, I've had a lot of trouble recently with my pc. It didn't help that the old laptop Neil dug out for me decided that even though it was plugged in to the mains, it wouldn't work without an operating battery. The fact that we could no longer buy a replacement battery for it was the reason it had to be abandoned in the first place.

So Neil had to try to get the pc working again without the gadget that should have arrived in the post last Friday, but hasn't yet. I did some work on the reduced capability that he could provide (another story that I've been working on all week). Just about finished (probably within two or three pages of finishing - I was up to page 40) and, trying to save onto a memory stick; it just wouldn't do it. I only had it saved onto the desktop, none of my usual folders being available. Knowing how precarious the pc is at the moment, I wasn't happy about that, so I mentioned to Neil that I would just e-mail it to myself and that way, when I can access my e-mail, I would be able to retrieve it. Oh no. Not good enough. Neil would try to fix it. He jumped in and took over my pc.

We decided that the new Linux software update wasn't any use so we would go back to the old version. That eventually loaded so all should be well. But now it won't recognize my backup disc with all my work for the last 2 years on it. And that is the only place I have all that work. I should have had a 2nd backup, but it failed some time ago. When (if) Neil can manage to get it all back for me, I shall have to find a more secure way of backing up. I've had lots of problems over the years with backups failing. Not only do I not really understand technology, I don't trust it not to fail. That's one of the reasons I don't like AI. It's a machine. It can fail. :arghh:

At least Neil managed to get my current story back. It's now on a working memory stick and the desktop. But, whether Neil likes it or not, I am about to e-mail the files to myself. :writer:
