5.6 this morning .... fasting day today on the 5:2

I know that my old surgery was bad, but my other half who also has diabetes, stayed there. He has not seen a doctor this last 6 months - despite having been put on iron tablets in January - he has not been able to see a doctor because the surgery would not make appts in advance, etc. etc. etc...
