I'm using google chrome on my iPad and on DCUK through desktop. I wonder if I can get the funky emoticons on it ? :)

Ahh, thank you, I was wondering. I don't have one of those 'all bells & whistles' phones. You can't even put an app on it :eek:

I think I pads can do it but I don't have one of those

Welcome to the forum

Ask your GP practice to be referred to a diabetes specialist nurse or a dietician as they are more likely to offer you a free meter and get test strips and lancets added to your prescription

Yes!!! It's Friday!!!

Extra stuff in the evenings all week has played havoc with my usual routines, but I have got to this end of the week without major blood sugars mishaps or any incidents of opening my mouth without engaging brain. Lazy weekend beckons...

I'm not on form 100% tonight. Zapped and no energy but there is still some humour left in me. Listening to Nick Abbott on LBC on DAB radio. He's really funny.

Thought you were quiet and subdued, definitely not your usual cheeky self. Hope you have a really good night's sleep and fell much better tomorrow. xx

@paula.nolan42
Great to see you back, hope the holiday was really enjoyable. xx

If another version of this comes through, it's because it disappeared the 1st time I wrote it :(

I've managed to fall down twice since getting home second time grand son reckons I was unresponsive. Was about 3 AM this morning just trying to get to the loo. So lost all control and had my poo any way while lying on bed room floor sorry if bit too much info it's just while wife daughter and grandson to clean me up and get me up off the floor there was a knocking on the front door by two policemen which confused matters seems they where looking for some guy who used to live here. sorry this post is a bit long I feel a bit sickly now think I better get back to bed

Unkind people, failure to take personal responsibility.
Oh John, what a time you're having and with it all you remain the Low Carb evangelist!! My thoughts are with you.

Yes - I've really just been watching Netflix and listening to radio. I'm not that chatty tonight but it is just fatigue. I will be fine tomorrow hopefully. Thanks :)

Morning all,

Drizzly Saturday here in deepest Kent,

I have just done my round up figures for the week which are;

Weekly Average 5.7
Before Meals 5.4
After Meals 5.5
32 Tests 100% between 4.4 and 7.0
High Reading 6.8
Low Reading of 4.4
No readings of 7.0 or above for 18 days now (and counting!)

Monthly Averages

15/3/16 - 15/4/16 6.4
14/4/16 - 14/5/16 5.9

So all still heading in the downward direction.....

Day of doing today! But have a nice bottle of Barolo to go with dinner tonight so that will be most welcome.

Have a good day all x
