I ate some chocolate on Christmas Day. A Yorkie bar. My favourite. Four days later I’m still trying to bring my sugars back to where they were. I usually eat low carb but my DN said that, with insulin, I should be able to eat “normally”. That doesn’t work. Besides the yorkie bar, anything with...

It seems to depend on your treatment regime. Here, if you take insulin then you’re seen by a specialist team at the hospital. If not then it’s at your local GP surgery.

Hiya, great to know Gabapentin worked for you, - how long did it take to kick in? Don’t know about RA. I get the feeling they’re grasping at straws a bit. They’re even starting to question a riding injury to my back that happened about 14 years ago. But that would mean an MRI so it won’t be...

Surgery phoned me back yesterday evening. It was a nurse not a doctor. She ordered more blood tests, Vit D and something for rheumatoid arthritis this time. All she could offer by way of additional pain relief was paracetamol, which does absolutely nothing. She said maybe they’d increase the...

Lol, the American games are good. You can get away with all sorts if you use English spellings. [emoji56]

Almost makes me want to see what else gets bleeped out......

Can’t believe I just got censored! It wasn’t even a rude word! [emoji15]

Thanks for the hug. I think we all need those at the moment. SM are great and so are my colleagues despite having to race around covering my pupils as well as their own at the moment. Really supportive. Don’t know about HR. They’re not known for being warm and fuzzy but the boss keeps us...

Thanks Muddy. I don’t want to nag them but I really can’t just let this go. It’s too much. I’m involved with the clinical research team at the hospital and they’ve said that they’ll do any blood tests I need so I don’t need to wait ages. Waiting to see what the GP comes up with next. My...

Just phoned to request a call back from my GP. The “ask my GP” online service was full by 10am and I feel bad for phoning but the pain and lack of sleep (and possibly the medication) has finally got to me and is making me cry. For the first time in fifteen months. The blood tests last week...

I use a kettle and a teaspoon. Though I am pretty fussy when it comes to brand. [emoji12]

Didn’t know they’d remade it. I love that film! Have you seen “Saving Grace”? It always reminded me of Whisky Galore. I’m making earrings today. I haven’t done any Craft Fairs this year or any advertising as I thought I could do with a quite time but I’m still up to my ears in commissions...

Thanks for this Muddy! I’d forgotten how much I loved her work. It’s given me some great ideas for my pupils next year too. They’re always doing those “cup” things and we’ve done a few flash mobs. I’ll draft some extra bodies in to the brass ensemble........ plotting, plotting....[emoji56]

Just had my latest blood test results. They still don’t know why I’m tired and hurting all the time but my Hba1c was 118 at the end of September and now it’s 68 [emoji322] Yes, I know it’s still too high but I’m really pleased with that. My cholesterol has dropped from 6.5 to 3.5 too. [emoji4]...

Lol, maybe not, good suggestions though! - high protein low carb yogurt, almonds and black coffee. - scrambled egg with cheese on hot buttered Lizza toastie, peanuts. Another not hungry day.

I know what you mean. And even when you weigh stuff and work out the carbs really carefully it can all still go wrong. I made roast beef for my Dads birthday. I very carefully calculated the carbs in what I ate and ended up going hypo. I’d probably have been been better off guessing! My...

I know what you mean about this year being different! Well done on your discipline!!! I tried to go shopping again this afternoon. It turns into a round of looking at the back of packets and boxes, calculating the insulin and putting it straight back on the shelf. It’s all a bit depressing...

-Black coffee, Low carb high protein yogurt and almonds for breakfast, - Cheese and lettuce sandwich made with an untoasted Lizza low carb toastie (okay, so it was a bit like eating soft MDF but I was driving). - decaf coffee with milk. Completely lost my appetite since starting on Gabapentin...
