I'm pleased for you and your good news @Lindy1706 . Definitely worth celebrating!
You're a strong cookie.
I wonder who the unluckily one was? Percentage wise.
My school chum had to be treated and then reconstruction. She went through hell but she's alive and been cleared twice. A terrible worry. I'm thankful you're ok.
Enjoy your weekend!

At least all my gadgets are taken care of, pristine condition. However can't say the same for my extended family and kids who drop or break a lot of their tablets/iPads/phones/laptops/PCs with regularity and then I am on speed dial lol.

What a talented chap you are Eddie.

I drop mine in the road whilst photographing my garden yesterday for this forum and now have a cracked screen. I could do with you as a neighbour.

Lol @KevinPotts, if I lived next door it would be fixed quickly and cheaply.

Really peed off with the App. Just can't quote posts on this thread like I can on the other one. So frustrating because by the time I've gone back and forth making sure I've got the @ and name right I Can't remember what I was blooming well going to say

I've still not installed the app until people say it's working properly again. Not being able to quote or do likes etc will put people off the forum. The sooner it's fixed the better.

Good Morning, all my fine friends on the www.diabetes.co.uk Type 2 Life Forum,

Although I had a bit of temptation in my impulsive eating habits manifest in my suspected ADHD and autistic spectrum disability by consuming 4 large chip butties (shame on me!) I took my blood glucose reading at 2:44 am on Saturday 21st May, 2016 and it was 8.7, a bit high and out-of-range but the Lixisenatide glucagon-like peptide injection is working.

I have pronounced problems with my dietary specifications with my ASD, I don't mean to keep doing this, it's just something I really struggle with at present. But thanks to @sablejan, @debrasue, @ikihun, and @lizanne and the wonderfully loving advice, caring in the extreme, I'm at long last getting there and I'm so grateful to each and everyone of you for recognising my worth and value and achievements.

I am still multitasking on my Chromebook lap top (it's in my avatar as a picture) and while I'm on www.diabetes.co.uk, I'm on www.youtube.com listening to a great Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers song from Shall We Dance? called They Can't Get That Away From Me by George And Ira Gershwin which was featured in my favourite 1988 film called Rain Man in which Raymond Babbit (high functioning autistic) overcomes his fear of touch and emotion in the Las Vegas casino lift by dancing to it with his younger brother Charlie's girlfriend, an Italian lady called Suzanna. That scene overlaps into another, still playing the Fred and Ginger number just mentioned, in which the autistic boy proudly drives his brother's 1949 Roadmaster Buick on a driveway in Los Angeles with some help from his younger brother just before the pre-custody trial assessment at a clinic.

Have a lovely day, my friends.

Yours faithfully,

Mr. Johnny Baker
Sufferer of autistic spectrum disability, suspected ADHD with a strong susceptibility to clinical depression.

Morning Johnny, morning all. Been for my run, had my Good a Green Stuff pretty happy BUT.... And you don't often get a BUT from me...BUT, my FBG WAS 7.2 this morning, worst in nearly 6 weeks...em. I was beginning to this "this man is invincible", but seems I have clay feet....or at least should not have a massive piece of chicken, 4 huge sausages, 3 squares of chocky and a bowl of berries for my BBQ dinner. Too much protein and the sugar in the chockiy even though it was 90% ...ah well you live and learn.

Perhaps the most interesting thing of all.. No chocolate has passed my lips for the best part of 30 years...just a tiny bit would give me a massive migraine, so I figured allergy and stopped it a long time ago.

My doc suspected it was all to do with sugar and that my T2 had been slowly working its way ioto the stage for many a year, typical of many of us. So last night, I took a risk....sugars went up, but NO. headache or migraine and oh the delight.

@KevinPotts, its easy to do! I started having a cheese plate as a dessert no issues for a few days then I could not get my BS figs below a 6 And my Fasting figs were in the high 6's. So I calculated that there were 50+ grams of protein in my cheese plate and stopped it! It is now an occasional treat or a meal in its self.

Thanks for that Lindy... I also finished off with cheese last night. It was the first signs of "creep". Square bashing today with my Sgt Major to get me back into the right mind set before I slip over into the dark side of 90% chockie.

Well done Johnny - you have a slip, but you pick yourself back up and you keep trying. That's the sign of a winner, that is!

Morning all, it's a bit dreich as @13lizanne would say. I'm bracing myself against the weather and heading out early today, there's an EDL demonstration in town this afternoon and things could get a little rowdy - especially since there's a counter demo just down the road from them!

I'd bring the sausages in for questioning . Were they gourmet or cornies-in-a-condom type?
Hopefully you will look back on this day as a mere bump in the road

JohnnyBaker87 · May 21, 2016

blood glucose reading at 2:00 pm:- 4.4.

eddie1968 · May 21, 2016

Afternoon. FBG 6.0 mmol/l. Grey and wet outside. Was out shopping earlier but it's a day for indoors.

"Whatever you're doing, I'd keep on doing it. Not many of our patients manage this." was yesterday's comment from the nurse extracting blood and doing all the pre-review stuff with me yesterday. Got to wait a couple of weeks to see the diabetic nurse but that's fine. According to my medical records, my blood pressure is down from 124/84 to 108/80, weight down from 84 kg to 70 kg in the last six months and urine was clear. I'm not convinced my HbA1c is going to be lower than the 57 of six months ago as I've had a couple of nasty colds and other odd hormonal stuff going on but I'm happy to wait and see.

I've got a trip to Cadbury's World coming up - it's going to be interesting! I am going to budget for a small, small piece of chocolate. I've not had any since Easter and in the interests of scientific research it would be interesting to see what effects it has.

In the meantime, before it pours with rain, walking beckons.
