Just When You Thought It Was Safe ....

Heh !

I haven't been on the fora for ages, but I'm still around ! There is a sudden and severe illness in the family, and others need a lot of support too, so I've been run ragged of late with no time to kick back, relax, and bother you lot on here

I'm missing you all, and hope to be back on a regular basis soon, spreading mischief

Oh and diabetes ...it's gone to hell in a handbasket of late, I think there was a thread about dire high carb vending machines in hospitals ? It was all true So it's been a vicious circle of running around like a blue assed fly, hypo, vend, hyper, rage bolus ,hypo vend, hyper grrrrrr

But this too shall pass, and I will be back . Be afraid, be very afraid ...

Hey Zand !
How ya doing ? I've missed you too ! Well done you for force feeding hubby all the tempting goodies and getting back on the wagon ! I have to say that as well as the BG's going all over the place due to the stuffing of the face with horrible carbs, it actually makes me feel like **** too So much for the forbidden food fantasies, the reality just isn't what the memory conjured up
Hang in there !

Well, we had a nasty false alarm last night when the hospice rang around 9, and said the end was imminent (Jean has been very very poorly, but lucid up 'till now ) So the family all went along to say their good byes including her husband, Colin, who is 87 He was so upset he had to be taken home fairly rapidly while the rest of us sat with her. She rallied around 2 am, and up to now is stable.

I'm absolutely dreading another false alarm as I don't think Colin can take it, the poor bloke just sat in his chair downstairs last night, waiting for us to come home and tell him she had passed. They have been married 62 years now

So it continues, and we are all pretty much wrecked now .

Thank you, @purplekat Yes, it's been pretty grim for all of us for many reasons.

One thing about being forced off the low carbing by necessity is that it has proven without a doubt that I feel 100% better when on LCHF. And the difference it makes to my BG levels is astounding. I've been better the last few days as I managed to go shopping and stock up on low carb snacky stuff to carry around with me, so finally the BG's are levelling out. Another thing was I actually put on weight despite running around for 16 hours out of 24 ! That's what a so called "normal" diet can do

Thank you all for your comments

Jean died at 6.50 this morning, but it was a blessing as she had an agressive form of cancer, and was only diagnosed 5 weeks ago. She is finally at peace.
