20 mins on bike and a brisk walk back to B and Q after an afternoon in A and E. At least I now know my BP is ok though I'm not sure that 6.5 is a normal BS reading as told by Dr and nurse. Nurse also told me as a type 2 there was no need to test as often as I am as I was controlling it by diet. I was too freaked out by being there to argue. Now if only I could sort this anxiety out as well as my exercise.
I don't test as often now that I know how different foods affect me and what the symptoms mean. Used to test a lot though.

Great! Sounds as though you got loads done!OK today did not go as planned. I ironed for about 10 minutes, walked for about 10 minutes, went to get my repeat prescriptions. I had an unexpected drive of 60 miles round trip, and unexpected paperwork to deal with which took forever because it was legal stuff and I'm no solicitor so I had to read lots of guidelines first. . Hopefully I've got it right and am sending it off tomorrow. I also helped choose a new fridge freezer online for someone else and arranged for their neighbour to collect it early this morning. When the freezer was cold enough this afternoon, I emptied the old one, chucking out anything out of date or manky looking and transferred it into the new one. Then I came home and cooked tea for hubby. Not sure what I'm having yet, but I don't feel like eating at all because I am so stressed. I really did not have the time to do anymore. I can't push myself right now. Sorry.

I will drop off some testing soon as I eat the same at breakfast every day so can't see point in testing that indefinitely. I'm just getting feel for things at the minute so find the monitoring comforting as I can see I'm doing ok.
To be honest Zand, I think 10 minutes is enough for you in your present frame of mind. I remember you once saying that you tend to go overboard once you get something set in your head and I also remember reading the records of pedro and your accounts of walking several miles at once. I hope you don't mind me saying this but I understand where your coming from and it's time for you to stop saying sorry to all of us. You must put yourself first and, forgive the play on words, walk before you can run. Please don't set your sights to high for now, otherwise you are going to be disappointed in yourself for no reason, and be tempted to give up the fight.OK today did not go as planned.

I am a worrier too, and it has been the bain of my life, but I'm trying to alter my head, I'm not finding it easy though.Hi lunarlinda
thanks for that. It will be better when I have sorted out a few problems here. I am a worrier. Yes you are right about it being partly to do with my son being away. When he gets back I will have to adjust to him being back again!
Could we have a low carb picnic while we are sitting by the roadside? I haven't eaten properly/enough for 3 days, so I need to make time to eat.
