Just having a grump - Anyone want to join?

Make it clear you are ignoring her.
 
Not Grumbling
Yo ! BB8.HG,
Just by way to cheer you up & encourage. Just spent last few months battling with rising BG levels since retiring August 2017.
Went up to 19+ first thing in the morning. Just had my opp for two hip replacements postponed due to A1C too high at 76 Max limit is 69. Can’t get much exercise even if weather was ok as cant walk very far, bit of a catch 22. Just managed this week to get back down single figures 8’s& 9’s. Was on 240mg Gliclazide & 3g Metformin a day but managed to get down to 80mg Gliclazide & 2g Metformin. Have had Gliclazide increased to 160mg over a month ago.
Best advice try to stay unstressed & laugh a lot works wonders

I just smile and say I log everything I eat, so it's all part of my plan. She has form for doing it to others, obviously has some real issues about food herself.
 
I at this moment am annoyed with my self as I found a packet of biscuits in my desk draw and now there are fewer there than there was just ten minutes ago not going to do much for tomorrows FBG I'm sure, I am the one person in the world who can really annoy me more than anybody else and no matter how much I grumble and nag I never seem to listen.
 
Yes I'm just peed off at the fact I have to cut way down on carbs + exercise every day when I don't feel like it! even though the rewards are great + if I succeed in losing more weight, I feel happier when I look in the mirror
 
Moan . grumble.. Friday and Saturday dances both cancelled due to the snow
Due to ice and snow my daily power walk around the village has become more of a pussyfoot ! but I did do it

This is actually one of our village back roads

I could use that snow at the moment, I would like to do a quick snow angel in it as the temp has just passed 35° C here in my office.

Useless plurry ceiling fans.

Don't you have air conditioning there? I would have thought it would be usual to have ac in Australia.
And in UK there are regulations concerning workplace temperatures. I can't remember what the minimum temp is, but below that your employer is supposed to let you go home. There is no maximum temp, it just says 'reasonable' but 35C would be unreasonable.

My office is a converted car port (we have two car ports) under our unit, so workplace regs do not apply to a soho.

As a car port it had ceilings fans in as it still does to circulate air around out to the laundry area.

Upstairs in the unit we have air conditioning where I will heading for very shortly.

I am my boss, although my partner thinks otherwise.

When I worked at the mines it was a cool day at 35°. I cannot remember what the wet bulb temps had to before you got sent home.
 
Had a chat with an ex-colleague of mine last evening. She's a TOFI T2 (diagnosed around 10 years ago) diet controlled, no meds. We were talking about eating out and she says "today I had lunch with a friend and I had breaded scampi and chips, but I'll have a snack later in the evening because us diabetics shouldn't go a long time without eating". Further along, me: "were you able to get out to the shops in the snow?". Her: "not since Wednesday but I was fine for bread etc". Me: "er, are you a low-carber??" Her: "no". Silly question. The phrase scampi and chips is causing me a sleepless night. Chips. Hot crispy beef-dripping-cooked fluffy-inside chips.

It's the only way to cook chips, shame that I have not found a way to reheat cooked chips so that they are crispy again.
