4.9 at 9am this morning. Looks like behaving with my diet is paying off. Going to see the DN today for the first time. At least I can take in some decent BG readings ☺

Bit late logging this but at 8am it was 6.1

4.9 this morning. Woohoo! Who's a clever boy the? ... OK, I know I can't take the credit ... but I can try

Thanks @debrasue ... A very rare moment where I was in front of the camera and not behind it

Thanks for the lovely comment. @debrasue - I love your nuthatch. I live very close to a nature reserve and for the last month I've been trying to get a decent shot of one on the feeder but it keeps evading me. Maybe it's all part of the game ... But I'll get him in the end

@liam1955 .. Oooh don't say that! I am such a bird photography nerd that I will bore the pants off everyone here. But as you tempted me here are a couple more samples ☺☺ The first is a Snowy Owl .. And this, of course is a swallow Hope you enjoy ☺

Out yesterday birding and managed to capture a host of various birds. I won't bore you with them all, but here was a rather nice photogenic little reed bunting that stayed for a while as I sat in a hide at Tittesworth reservoir.

Yesterday I was out birding nearly all day so .... B: muesli with berries L: salad with chick peas T: Lentil loaf with vegetables followed by a baked donut made out of spelt flour Today will be more organised so ... B: muesli and fruit L: omelette and salad T: quinoa burgers and vegetables...

6.2 after a wee lie-in. Morning all

Ok, I admit it, I am so out of my depth here it's not true! Since diagnosis 10 days ago I have totally overhauled my diet and the pounds are starting to come off my belly. Although not rigidly following a LCHF diet, I am really really close and I feel a lot healthier as a result. On top of...

4.7 ☺

Oh I tried the side of my finger .. several times. I had the needle set at its highest and the insipid microglobule that emerged made my wife begin to ponder on whether or not I was really a zombie! After a few stabs I gave up and returned to the pad. I've found that if I press the contraption...

Well, I have taken the advice of people on the forum and purchased a monitor. First (and completely unlike me), I read the instructions. Then, having gained a reasonable understanding of what I needed to do, I moved to the next stage and started to set my kit up. So far, so good - it has the...

B: muesli with fruit L: shakshuka T: vegetarian curry with chick peas .. no rice Disgustingly healthy and I'm still losing weight. Yaaayyy!

I spent most of my working with substance misusers and W-S-M became a sort of Mecca for treatment centres so I spent many happy years working there. The place has changed a lot over the years and seems to be increasingly developing new housing estates. They've cleared up the seafront a lot now...

Hi folks Just wanted to share my experience with my GP today. Last week I had the results of a blood test and another doctor diagnosed me as having Type 2 diabetes (my mmol was 55). Now from what I can gather from the good people on this forum, the reading I had was not terrible, but neither...

Absolutely! I confess I really miss Wales, but I try to return as much as possible. We are moving to Weston-Super-Mare in the late summer, so I'll be able to get back to Swansea quite easily ... and maybe see the occasional international on home territory ☺

I live in Stafford, UK, and a couple of months ago I opted for early retirement. When I was working, my job was to write bids and fundraise for charities. Nowadays, I am a lot happier taking lots of photographs and birdwatching.
