6.8 at 03.40 today. A cup of coffee brought it up to 7.6 so who knows what breakfast will do to it. Been searching for important documents about this house and Alistair's house. Found some documents but they are not the important ones (house deeds etc). They have to be somewhere, but I fear...

Breakfast: whipped cream - it was going to be with coffee whipped into it but I decided to try the mixture that Neil made of left overs from my baking efforts last week. Just a spoonful with the cream. Oh dear. It was very sweet and a bit stodgy. Held together well though, even when...

Has any T2 on insulin had any experience with Mounjaro? The medical consultant at our local hospital (treating me for liver problems) has asked for me to be referred for treatment with Mounjaro but it has to go through various people before it is prescribed: first my GP has to refer me to the...

2005. But that was only the diagnosis of T2. I had been having symptoms since 1970 - just after the birth of my 2nd son (both sons around the 10 lb mark), so possibly gestational diabetes which was never detected and never went away. Several GPs poo-pooed my symptoms and some even told me...

8.4 at 02.00 - but that wasn't an early morning reading - I'd got up having failed to sleep from about 00.30. Cup of chicken broth and TV news channel on, then at 04.00 "Salvage Hunters", at which point I finally went to sleep. Woke up at 06.20. BG at that point was 8.4, and it still is.

Breakfast: Ham and cottage cheese plus 2 RyVita. Coffee. 2nd meal: quick fried sprats (nearest I can get to whitebait. They are whitebait but they are out of a tin). No vegetables available other than some onions and some peas so that's what it had to be until I can get some salads on...

I have just realised that the unidentifiable seeds I received were supposed to be Jerusalem artichoke tubers. It is a scam. They may, or may not, be seeds of Jerusalem artichokes but I seem to have paid £13.50 for 4 seeds. I will be claiming my money back from Amazon. BG at 05.45 was 8.1.

Yesterday evening, I reheated the cooked chicken breast with onion and canned tomatoes to make a kind of thin stew. I even dished it out onto a plate, and then decided I didn't want to eat after all. It's still there in the pot and I'm wondering if I can make a chicken and tomato soup with it...

10.1 at 04.20 today. Chilly today. Back into the lightweight jumpers now. High cloud so it's fairly bright but no sun breaking through yet. Had a letter from the DWP to bring me the fantastic news that, later this month after I am 80, I will be getting an extra 25p a week on my State...

Being tense won't help the experience but to be honest, I'd have a colonoscopy any day, rather than an endoscopy. I've had both a few times, and survived with no damage done. Just let the sedative take over. The doctor won't try to hurt you, in fact, will do his/her best not to. Honestly...

Breakfast - a bit late because I didn't want to move too much - was sliced hard boiled egg and sliced tomato with 2 lentil crackers and a little mayo. Weak black tea. Probably will have something later. There's cold chicken to make into something but no salads left until Neil can go shopping...

6.5 at 04.20 today. Still recovering from all the effort that I put into making cupcakes for my friends' wedding reception on Friday. I was so knocked out that I couldn't go to the reception (they were married in Macao and came home to hold a reception here). And I'd bought myself a new...

I've had a few colonoscopies. They have always given me a sedative first so that I can relax completely and, being me, I usually doze happily throughout. The last time, I went to sleep completely. So much so that I slept right through a fire alarm during which the theatre had to be evacuated...

I had my boiled egg salad - felt a bit off afterwards but not too bad. Then had a brainwave! Mint tea. I have all this mint growing now (to keep flies away from the front of the house) so why not pick a few leaves and make mint tea. Mint is good for the digestion - isn't it? Duly made the...

Neil had fun using up left-over offcuts of cake, vegan cream which didn't whip to piping consistency, raspberries, whipped double cream and cream cheese. He made one large and one small kind of cheesecake (more cake crumb cheesecake) which are now freezing. I don't think they will make set...

Chicken and mushroom soup for breakfast. Now feeling rather nauseous again. Day off today. I phoned and asked for someone to come today to pick up all the cupcakes but told them I couldn't go to the reception. Just resting. Neil very kindly cleared up the kitchen after all my efforts left a...

No idea if mine is in range.

Thanks for all that information. I seem to have no way of getting to see a doctor at the moment so have decided to self medicate with vits D3 and B12. I don't think I will come to harm by taking them and when I can, I will get a doctor to refer me for a full range of blood tests. I will need...

It was a fasting day yesterday. Just broken my fast, having returned from my leg appointment. A whole avocado - perfect condition - some cucumber and tomato plus a cup of coffee. There's cold chicken in the fridge for later, if I want anything. Cakes all baked but still to be decorated...

Thanks for that information and the advice. Great detail on that image made by your mum. Must try the pen myself.
