A most unusual birthday

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
 
Really good to read.
Needed that
Best to you
 
Happy birthday - sounds like you had a perfect day
 
What a superb birthday you've had! And I wish you many very happy returns of this 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!
