Good Morning, my friends,

I woke up at around quarter to three and watched Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel and demolished a bangers and mash ready meal and had 5 cups of decaff coffee with coffee mate light and 3 sugars each and my blood glucose level was a staggering 11.5. I'm 41 days quit from smoking at quarter to one this afternoon today.

Well done on the no smoking, Johnny - that's amazing!
But what's all this 3 sugars in your coffee all about? That's perhaps where the BG of 11.5 came from.....

Good Afternoon, my dear, good friends,

Out of my remaining £13.75 pence left over through not buying tobacco out of my £70.00 from my Carer and Corporate Appointee I bought a full english breakfast this morning which comprised 4 rashers of chargrilled bacon, 1 hash brown, 1 fried egg, 1 slice of black pudding, 2 pork sausages, 1 portion of baked beans, 1 slice of fried tomato, 2 halved slices of white toast with butter and 1 cafe latte with 2 sugars. It cost me a blue five pound note and I handed it to the waitress in the cafe with the black halfmoon spectacles, youthsome appearance and black ponytail. I've still got a blue five pound note, 3 gold one pound coins and 3 pieces of silver, a fifty pence piece, a twenty pence piece and a five pence piece.

I've just eaten another bangers and mash ready meal which was lukewarm and throughout this morning since returning home from my Dr Ahmed given injection have ingested 2-3 cups of decaff coffee with coffee mate light and 3 sugars. My blood sugar at 12:37 PM was 7.1, a sure indication that my social and neurodevelopmental health isn't up too much and would suggest I'm self-neglecting.

Johnny have you been worrying about your planned Dr injection? Have you seen your 3 sugars as a soother?
Try and replace it with artificial sweetner, or are you out?

Whisky? Brandy? 6 sugars? Hey - whatever floats your boat, @walnut_face!

Unfortunately Ron's been awake since 3 with pains in his shoulders . These days that's all his body does . So with pain comes high bg readings . One thing I have found is that if Ron eats a roast his bgs are low unlike other foods he eats .

Yes, I was a bit worried about my injection; it was to manage my mood swings in my challenging and concerning moderate to severe autism spectrum disorder. I've had a good Bible Study and bought some highlighting pens and a ruler like my Bible Study teacher advised me to buy to underline, or highlight, verses of scripture in their bible study guides that they give me. I also bought some Canderel and I've still got 3 gold one pound coins and one brown penny. I'm going to use the Canderel to try and get better blood glucose readings as well as not eating too many carbs. I do get very anxious and that's when I crave sugar, which I know is the worst thing a diabetic can do. Aspies have strange ways of coping with worry or stress, not all of them do, some might deal with it well, but not with my higher end of the autism spectrum. I also have emotionally unstable personality disorder and simple schizophrenia, that doesn't make me violent, devious, manipulative and horrible it's just I can get very emotional like bursting into tears at the drop of a hat and in the past but not now self harming. This comes from my late twenties and thirties and early forties when I was being traumatised and bullied in my previous flat. I'm having eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing treatment and cognitive behaviour therapy treatment to deal with the trauma of this emotional and sometimes physical abuse plus losing my mum and sister in the early noughties.

Hi @maureen5752 - it’s good to hear from you! I hope you had a good Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year, too.
Your new granddaughter sounds absolutely gorgeous - congratulations! I hope you get to see lots of her.
I’m so sorry to hear about all your worry and stress. That’s a horrible situation to be in and I hope you are able to resolve things soon.
Sending you big hugs, my lovely xxx

Good Morning, my lovely friends on the Type 2 Life thread of the Diabetes Forum,

Today, Thursday 4th January 2018 CE I shall be 42 Days Quit from Smoking and that will exactly be at 12:45 PM (GMT) because I smoked my last roll-up at 12:45 PM (GMT) on Thursday 23rd November 2017 CE.

So far, earlier on today I ate a dumpling out of my Sainsbury's Classic Beef Stew And Dumplings £2.40 ready meal, and I've taken my medication and my blood glucose reading now, 7:45 AM (GMT) was 8.7 so the flour in the dumpling must have well spiked my glycaemic index. I've also ingested 2 Kenco Decaff coffees with coffee mate light and 3 teaspoons of Canderel granulated sweetener each.

Tell Ron we'll be over one by one to cook him roasts. Ha ha. He wouldn't know what hit him.
Maybe once kids are older I'll be over to give you a break hun. Or maybe Mr ickihun will help me to give you a break. I don't write anything out. Maybe after my op my back discs may settle back into place.
Tramadol relaxes my muscle tension from pain generated from back/leg pain. Not sure what I'll be given after op. Tramadol may be stopped.
I know only a temporary drug.

Well done johnny. You're fully aware of what to avoid or eat in very minimum amounts.

How good are you reading food labels? Do you?

Well done johnny. You're fully aware of what to avoid or eat in very minimum amounts.

I learned about dietetics/nutrition in the large amount that I know already from http://www.diabetes.co.uk, @ickihun, my lovely friend Vicky.

Food labels on the back or sides of food items confuse me, and although I've tried making head or tail of what they say, I always fail to understand the logistics of what they advise or recommend. Mostly, the measurements are completely bewildering. But I'll try Googling "Reading food labels for Dummies" on Google, my online search engine.

Much love to you, Vicky. I'm praying for you as always.

Good Afternoon, to all my special online friends and close companions on the Type 2 Life Thread of http://www.diabetes.co.uk website with big cybercuddles,

My blood glucose glycaemic index at 1:36 Post Meridian (Greenwich Mean Time), today, Thursday 4th January 2018 CE is a very good, healthy 5.6 Millimoles Per Litre.

 

[JohnnyBaker87]

good afternoon, my friends,

as from today, i'm 44 days quit from smoking. i've achieved this by consuming water, praying and drinking decaff coffee. i saw my psychologist yesterday for my emdr treatment - eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing - and felt better. my psychologist told me i don't have emotionally unstable personality disorder or any other mental illness i was once diagnosed with. my emdr and cbt treatments are for my autism spectrum condition - asperger syndrome - and that's all my care providers are treating me for. she's very nice my psychologist is.

i haven't eaten much today. all i've eaten is a toasted cheddar cheese sarnie this morning. my blood glucose reading now - 4:15 pm - is a very good, healthy 5.3 mmol.

love from johnny baker, a sufferer of asperger syndrome.

Ron's back at pain clinic in Monday. Hope the nurse gives him something to help him sleep. At the moment I'm going to bed in the early hours and he's still awake in pain. He gets up early as he's not able to relax in bed . Just wish i knew what has caused this pain. It is all through his body .

Oh god. Poor man.
Tell them tramadol worked but other med (hydrocodeine?) no use nor ornament. Amitriptyline not helping with sleep? Maybe amitriptyline may need increasing, I'm no expert hun.
Don't leave without tramadol as I know its a huge help for my pain and muscle relaxant.
I just wish the very best for him.....and you.
