I am off for my HbA1c test this morning my last one in February had risen to 73. I had not been good lots of stress eating due to real life issues. I was given a ticking off by practice nurse. My medication was changed from Gliclazide to Dapaglaflozin and I was told to get my blood tested in 3...

It seems as my meter has used up its supply of 5's as I awoke to a 4.8 this morning.

I have purchased a blood ketone meter and have been comparing the 2 over a few days. (I am taking the blood readings as accurate) The breath readings have been between 1 and 3 points higher but not to a consistent level - one day 3 points higher another day 1.5 points higher. Therefore in no way...

Sorry for joining late I had missed the thread at the beginning. I have not noticed any great change in my tanning ability, but that said I tan rather than burn anyway.

We have had a spot or two of rain overnight, not enough for me not to have to water though. 5.2 for me this morning.

Still in the 5 zone here in the hazy north western UK, 5.2. Up early this morning due to the doggie alarm clocks who for some reason today think as it is light I should be up and about. They have been out, fed and are now curled up fast asleep again. I wish I could do the same but work awaits...

I removed all of the plants last year as the yield had dropped over the last couple of years. I have just replaced them I know I am late and don't expect a crop this year but they will be good to go next year (I am not that keen on them but my dad loves them)

Still using up my allocation of 5's with a 5.3 this morning. I managed to get my tomatoes, beans and strawberries planted. One of my 12 year old raised beds has given up the ghost, so I am going to have to empty the soil out on to another bed and then get some new wood re build it. It will be...

Hi @Flic2019 l hope the shock, anger and bewilderment are beginning to ease. I found that cooking fresh foods and new recipes really helped. Actually cooking rather than reheating or opening a packet helps to focus the mind on what you are eating! I have discovered some really tasty and filling...

Another of my store of 5's used up, 5.3 this morning. The vet trip yesterday only cost £25 that was for her to have a look and tell me to come back in a week! I am not sure if we are due to get the heatwave here it is a little over at at the moment but who knows what is in store for later. I...

Still using up 5's. 5.3 for me this morning. Off to work and then yet another vet trip with the dog with the abscess on his bottom. 2 weeks now - it is beginning to show signs of healing and he seems well in himself. Remains to be seen what the vet thinks. I have a feeling she has her sights on...

5.9 this morning so obviously I have still a stock of high 5's to use up! Bin day at my parents today just rushed down to their house to put the bin out I forgot to go last night even after being reminded by phone every day, they are away on holiday. Off to work now and then to get their...

Another highish reading for me this morning 5.8. Still no idea why. Unless there is a quota of numbers inside the BG machine that have to be used and I have had all the 4's and low 5's so now I need to move on to the high 5's!

A very good question @poemagraphic. Whoever gets to the bottom of why blood glucose readings do what they do should receive a Nobel prize. Just when you think things are nicely settled you get a rogue set of figures. After a day of salad and ham at lunch and fish and cauli cheese for dinner (...

@dogslife feel for your stress with your mum. I trust that the hospital meeting comes to a speedy decision and that your mum is soon pain free. 5.0 at 6 this morning. Sky is grey but what else would it be it is Bank Holiday Monday. No plans for trips out hopefully a bit of garden work dogs...

Quite a busy day here. B Yoghurt D oxtail and cauli cheese T egg and ham

@DCUKMod Sorry you are not unique. This house is a chocolate free zone. I used to eat chocolate for every meal but only the milk variety. I love dark chocolate but can't eat it as it gives me terrible migraines.

5.4 this morning. I woke up hungry for the first time in 3 weeks so have just had some yoghurt. I am off to walk the dogs now grey but not wet here - yet. It is a bank holiday weekend after all! To those lucky enough to have returned to be I am jealous - dog licking watch is still ongoing here...

Food today B CWC to add a bit of excitement I added some cinnamon! It turns out that my day peeked there excitement wise. D cheese & chive DD keto pancakes with a little late. T Morrisons beef with added bone marrow burger and some lamb ribs. The burgers were very disappointing and I wish had...

@SaskiaKC Pets are such a worry aren't they and their illness always comes when the vet is closed either at a weekend or holiday time.( I am watching a dog with a sore bottom and trying to stop him licking.) I hope that your cat is OK again now.
