Oh poor you, that's miserable! Might be worth checking with your medical team, in case it's something quite unrelated to diabetes. Meanwhile, see if you can find any thinner socks that are insulating, rather like those Thinsulate gloves one can buy. I don't know if they sell them, but worth a...

Morning all! Actually, good afternoon, all - it's gone 1:00! Last night we had our Saturday sausage and mash with baked beans, green beans (not very nice, for some reason) and cabbage, followed by kefir yoghurt with honey and a fig. And a glass of home-made lemon cordial. Breakfast this...

I love mushrooms, but haven't been fancying them so much lately. I think they will have to wait until the weather sends "hearty stew" vibes, rather than light ones!

I wonder if that's why you were so sleepy this morning? I know that if I do have a hypo - haven't had one for some weeks, not since complaining to the doctor that I had started getting them, of course! - I can get very sleepy afterwards!

Hake with courgette and tomatoes sounds lush! Envy! Back from tai chi; lunch (typical Saturday) was bacon, avocado and tomato sandwich, toast on half a demi-baguette (only ate a bit of mine; husband had a coupon for a free one, so a no-brainer, but should perhaps have asked him not to toast it)...

Morning all! Hypo this morning; glad husband is at parkrun or I'd have undoubtedly shouted at him and burst into tears! As it was, I made a sort-of oatmeal pancake to have under a fried egg. It was delicious, but a bit of a faff - I don't think I had the proportions right. Maybe when I get my...

3.9 this morning. Could it be due to the beer I had yesterday? Or to the nasty experience which I had had earlier, which left me very shaky all evening? Either way, I definitely felt on the verge of a hypo this morning, and was glad my husband is at parkrun, or I'd probably have yelled at him...

Yes! I almost never drink coffee or tea with milk in it, but one day, in Germany, I was visiting Lidl and had a coupon for one of those chilled cappucino-type drinks they do, and as I quite like iced coffee, I was thirsty, and it was free, I got it. And oh dear, I did regret it! Never again!

And to add insult to injury, my husband produced carrots as the vegetable and not the cabbage and/or peas I'd asked for! Oh well. I do not, though, know how people manage to eat a whole of those cartons - they are said to serve one, but they are ample for two.

Supper is going to be liver and bacon (a Lidl ready-meal, shared between us) with vegetables - I think carrots and cabbage, not sure as I'm not making it. Oh, and 1/2 a 330 ml beer, which I don't really want but know my husband does. I was coming home from Lidl when a man and his dog came up...

Breakfast was overnight oats, this time with flaxseeds and walnuts, and topped with the end of the apricot compote and kefir. Didn't bother with a banana or extra sugar today. Delicious, but my insides weren't too sure about it! Lunch was 2 mini pork pies, half an avocado, an olive, and a...

4.8. Lower than sometimes!

75.35 this morning, down 350 g!

Chicken is delicious. I haven't made a poached chicken for ages; I tend to buy thighs rather than a whole bird - last time I cooked one, it was down at my mother's, and was rather too large for the three of us, and we began to get rather tired of it. "Starting to cluck", said my mother...

Well, it was utterly delicious, and I enjoyed every bite. But we have had three minutes' rain today - it was the three minutes it took me to walk home from Lidl! That's the second time - it seems that the only times it has rained in my part of London during the past two months is when I've...

Alas, no. I do have herbs in pots on the windowsill, but no more than two at a time, as two fit into an ice cream tub to take with us when we are travelling! Breakfast today was overnight oats, today with fresh raspberries and flaked almonds. I'm "cooking" some more kefir, but it won't be...

I try to walk most days (at least 1.5 km), and do tai chi about twice a week.

I have only just started measuring mine, more for interest than anything else. I get my hbAc1 tested once a year - I asked the nurse today (had a blood test for another reason) why it wasn't tested every three months, and she said if they got an anomalous reading they would, but as it was. But...
