Morning all yet another 8.4 this morning, fifth day in a row wonders never cease, and no hypo after training so a happyish feeling today, on a sunny morning. Take care everyone.

Deadlifts last night 195kg 4x2 felt very heavy and had to dig deep to get it finished then a finish set of 155kgx6 and that felt very, very heavy but got it done. As my wife is very found of saying "get some work in"

No slap needed, just a shoulder to lean on and a big gentle hug, you have done the healthy eating bit before and you can do it again, but your son is not going anywhere and is always there to support you whether as a consultant or as your son. Take care

a very belated update squats Saturday morning and a nice 100kg 5x3, first time in the 100 club for six years!! and as I'm competing in November, dare I say it's coming along nicely.

Morning all from a decidedly wet northeast, a consistent 8.4 ( 3 mornings in a row) and a very busy weekend, clearing gutters and painting. Take care everyone.

it sounds like you are catching a small blood vessel as you are injecting, which is causing the bleed and subsequent bruise, your insulin will still be working. unfortunately you can't predict where these vessels are under the skin so keep rotating the injection sites. You are doing well so...

assistance work last night lat pull downs full stack 10x4, shrugs 140kg 15x3, face pulls heavy 15x3. I have also entered a qualifier for next years British powerlifting Championships, it is in November this year so I had better get my finger out and "get some work in " as my wife says.

Morning all from a nice and cool northeast, a truly unspectacular 9.8, and feeling rotten so sounds and feels like coming down with something. hopefully just a sniffle. Take care everyone.

morning everyone a high 9.8, but I think this ill feeling I have had for the last few days might now be affecting my readings, the merry-go-round that is diabetes is now in full swing! Take care everyone.

Bench Last night part of volume work so 90kg 6x5 then incline press 120kg 6x5 then biceps D/B curl 35 10x3 finishing with hammer curls 40kg 10x1 and then home.

Deadlifts last night 165kg 5x3 didn't do any assistance work, which I should have but in my defence I was still feeling ill, but had to get it done. Will see what today brings.

Morning all a uninspiring 7.1 today on another sunny day here in the northeast, but it is beginning to cool down now, which is nice. Take care every one.

Last Training session was on Thursday which consisted of squats 85kg 6x3 "only" took 15-20mins to get under the bar. Still working on my technique so the weights will slow to increase.

Yes it was brilliant, you can't put into words just how good it was. It was definitely worth it .

Morning all a funny 6.1 as I was fully expecting a high reading as yesterday I felt so ill and my readings were in the high 20's and have never felt so ill. as long as I have gotten them some way under control I'm happy. Take care every one.

Hi @DJC3 sorry I haven't got back to you sooner, it is a taster menu so it is a seasonal menu and it was spectacular, Langoustines, whiskey cured trout, veal sweetbreads and main of lamb loin, the deserts were outstanding. How these chefs create all these flavours is beyond me. It was a true...

Thank you 22yrs feels like yesterday when we tied the knot. So looking forward to the meal.

Morning all, a nice 6.9 especially after my hypo at 3am so I must have treated it properly! Half day today and off tomorrow for my 22nd wedding anniversary, scary to think I have been diabetic longer than I have been married. I am taking my wife to a lovely restaurant in Newcastle called The...

I have done it in the past when I was at my peak so to speak. You will get your 100kg if you start low say 50kg 5x5 then every week add 5kg for six weeks finishing with 80kg 5x2, then drop back to 60kg 5x4 and again add 5kg a week for another six weeks which will get you too 90kg 5x2, then...

Nightime hypos are the worst, went through a big spell of them for about a month until I realised mine are linked to my training and on consultation with my DSN , I now run temp basal which has helped massively. I agree that you should ring your DSN quickly to discuss how you deal with these...
