@PenguinMum - Thanks for the unadulterated encouragement. I adore Penguins! And to get a "hug" from the Mother of One, makes me smile and flap about in excitement.

5.2 - Lively Five-Hive here. However, advice is sought. OK, got my HBA1C for this October, 55.00, meah, up 5 points from June this year. Here's the run from 2 years ago: 20/09/2021 46.00 - Lowest ever! 14/07/2022 53.00 - Ugh, raised 7 points, not good. 12/06/2023 50.00 - Down 3 points, better...

5.4 - Still Buzzing around the Five-Hive! Pleased with this.

Good to see you here. However, get yourself to doctor or hospital, pronto. As you say, @RobynV, Keep us updated.

4.9 - That’ll do Pig. That’ll do. OK, yesterday’s dental appointment had a tooth extraction and the draining of an infected pouch. Could this have been elevating my numbers?

@LivingLightly - Well thank you! The quad bypass is firmly embedded now. Word to the wise, the smart money has been on my T2 had, over the years reduced my descending heart arteries to only 20% efficiency and efficacy, meaning 80% was shot. So, "others" please be warned.

5.8 - Back amongst the Five-Hive. Well, yesterday I took on my nemesis Hill in our local park. Previously I’d need two or three rests, and each time I’d be scared to take it on. Well, playmates, yesterday, we walked up the same Hill, felt a new sense of lightness and stamina, reach the top and...

Ah, this is cosy, back in the 6s….. not.

You're allowed. ;)

Oh yes! As we scrum, maul, forward-pass, claw and crawl out of the Pool stages of the RWC, all Home Nations play this weekend. And yes, England plays Samoa - ouchie…. Just catching up on France v Italy! France are special, let’s see what they do in the next matches. It is Italy.

5.8 - Yesterday, Friday, was full of 6s. Thursday was Covid19 booster day. I felt rubbish all day, but now in the 5s, all’s good again and the Booster Blues have totally waned. Oh yeah, blood tests today, then the wait - tick tock tick tock…..

Any thoughts? Clues? But seriously, I do wish you better ;).

:)

@DEBBIESCOTT - Excellent advice, esp with your workout activity. We all forget. Having to take all the meds I do, I get to take a glass of water with them. WC advice too, keep close to a toilet.

5.7 here. YAY! OK, two 50 minute sessions of Cardio Vascular workouts (not being virtuous here, it’s part of my Quad-Cardio bypass recuperation) PLUS my Plan A eating, pushed me South of the Border into 5-Land. Again, my Plan A and then a Longish walk with Mrs E to the COVID19 Booster Base Camp...

6.3 - Need a sustained campaign to drill down to 5s, again.

And this afternoon I’m 5.5! Yay!

Plan B? Well, put off breakfast for as long as possible, and then my usual roughly ground almonds, half an apple zapped, yoghurt, blueberries, and then a dusting of Linwoods Organic Cold Milled Flaxseed, Sunflower, Pumpkin & Chia Seeds & Goji Berrie. Mix in milk and stir it all together.

6.9 - Yeah, too unstable. Plan B this week.

6.8 A few good eating days and I’m now stuck in the Sticky-Sixes. Road trip today. Gotta luv a road trip.
