Hi, @liam1955 - how did you get on today?

 

[eddie1968]

I try and organise things like this all in one. Having issues setting up my iPad, won't accept bank details and phone number. I can use it but want my account and iCloud up and running too.

Hello Everyone . Got myself a bit 'stressed' in anticipation of seeing the Diabetologist this morning and my blood pressure got slightly raise 171/87 said the Nurse, but, I have been told what a 'Good Boy' I have been in getting my HBA1C down more than expected. In November 2015 it was 64 and today it is 56, my weight remains the same at 12st 10lbs, my total Cholesterol is 3.1 (HDL - 1.1, - LDL - 1.8, - TRIGS - 2.2). Stopped officially from today DAPAGLIFLOZIN. But, continue on 44 Units of Humulin i Insulin and 4 x 500mg Metformin a day. AND have got to test my blood sugars MORE than what I am doing at the moment (3 - 4 times a day at present).
But, found out from Dermatology that the Cosentyx Injections causes THRUSH (both Oral and Groin).
Time was 1.15pm and I was feeling a bit yuk, only had pack of glucose tablets with me, so we had lunch in Dean's Garden Centre, I had Leek & Brocolli Bake, with chips and garden peas, R had Salad & New Potatoes with his. Then spent a good couple of hours looking around at plants and stuff. So, have had a good day and I am a "Happy Bunny" -

Well done @liam1955, good results. I check BGs 4-6 times daily as I do 2 injections. Also gives you a 24 picture of your control.

Off to the hospital for my ETT (exercise tolerance test) tomorrow, it feel g very confident, which is not necessarily a good thing, but providing my ticker gets a clean bill of health, I'll be out running again and pushing the cardio on Friday morning.. If not, I shall be on here for sympathy and advice

Was thinking on the apple pencil. I'm quite a good drawer.

That's good for you to get your HbA1c down congrats
Got my HbA1c result on Monday down to 55 from 73

Thanks Mo, I do hope you gave into plant lust and bought something, I shall be doing exactly that on my way home from hospital. Yvonne will be out with her clients and said plants will be in the ground and looking resplendent on her return and thus only the mildest of reprimands will ensue. I have my list of chosen specimens in my back pocket as I write...hash
