Well most years on my birthday I have "enjoyed" pizza, curry, chips, or some equally unhealthy options. Today has been vastly different. Instead of concentrating on eating I have spent the day birding. A wonderful day with lots of great photos, no sugar spikes and no indigestion!!!

So instead of living in a restaurant or pub, I have been walking from 11am to 6pm! Tested my BG before tea and it was 4.7!! I don't think I have ever had a birthday where my BG has been so low. And the best part? It's been the greatest fun I have had in years and my wife and daughter were able to enjoy the day more too.

Let's hope it's the first of many
 
Happy birthday - sounds like you had a perfect day:)
 
Thanks all. Yes, it has been a spectacular day and really quite extraordinary. Just to add to it, my son is visiting and play a game called Pokemon Go on his phone. I confess I had never heard of it but this evening I have been driving him around town so he can collect these monsters. Tonight he us a really happy bunny because it was a successful outing and I am happy because I wasn't falling asleep and feeling generally unwell.

At so many levels a good day
 
Just in time to wish you many happy returns. It sounds like a brilliant birthday!
