That's good. Now you just have to manoeuvre your way around the obstacle course..........
Glad to have helped your Monday be a happier oneI saw that post & it's made me blast a Stone Roses CD loud as I get ready for workit's a happier Monday now
Licence went around 8 years ago. I have lost the sight in my left eye and have no peripheral vision in my right@porl69 - does your lack of hypo awareness cause any issues on the driving licence front?

Oh goodness. I’m so sorry to hear that. Was it the hypo awareness that lost it or the eyesight?
Working in a garage is super impressive.
That's promising news @porl69 Definitely a step in the right direction
Afternoon - hope you all had a good weekend!
Out of the blue I've been sent a prescription for 4 Libre sensors in the post by my consultant so that's a positive start to the week. I can only assume it's because I'll be going through DAFNE next week. I'll be off to the pharmacy to get them ordered in after work. Does anyone know that has Blucon/Xdrip - can you use it with the standard Libre app/reader too or is it one or the other?
Last few days have been OK numbers wise - managed to avoid a hypo on Saturday evening by feeling the shakes in the mid 4s after I got in from a walk. One high (over 18) yesterday afternoon that I can't put my finger on as I'd only had carbs from beans late morning (cooked breakfast with no bread involved) but it came down nicely in range with dinner and another evening walk of a few miles.
Night! Sleep well!!.30 pm here in Oz. In deficit for beauty sleep so will turn in. G'night !!
Thought for the day (as posed elsewhere too):
Don't put all your eggs in the one basket VS You can put all your eggs in the blender (just remember to take the shells off first)

Everything else absolutely fine, except cholesterol ldl at 1.4. Must be the Double Gloucester cheese. I'll cut it down to one block a week and see what happens.
Lost a bit of weight as well. 90 kg of mean, lean .........well 90kg of something.
@slip I think I'm quite fortunate that we have an exceptional diabetes centre in Leicester. Appointments do get moved, but usually only a few weeks. It is annoying though.
I'm seen at the General nowadays. Sadly large parts of the hospital are dated. The diabetes centre downstairs is very impressive . I have yet to get to see upstairs but I'll take your word on it.Hi there therower - are you seen at the Royal or the General? The General is really intresting upstairs.
Thank youWell done on the hba1c
