Had this chest infection for 1month and 4 days not quite beaten my record of 7 weeks yet. Just so sore, tired and fed up of coughing/ braking

 

[4ratbags]

Whoa 7 weeks is a long time. Hopefully they will get it sorted as it must be so draining.

 

[loulou99782]

It is very draining off to try and sleep now I have finished nebulizers. If my chest will let me sleep

 

[loulou99782]

4.1 this morning a bit low for me. Let's hope my sugars stay stable today. No big swings from infection or steriods would be very nice.

 

[13lizanne]

Morning @loulou99782 hope you do have a good steady day too

@Alan_in_Suffolk_ re your bike ride reducing your BG levels by 6points, I control my type 2 with diet + exercise nowadays and a 40 min walk usually reduces my after breakfast reading by 1 - 1.5 points and an hours walk can reduce my BG by anything up to 3pts, that's from a high of 7.8 which is the highest my bloods ever go now. When I was diagnosed 10 years ago they were at 16! I think you can probably see a way for you to help keep the blood sugar down? p.s this is a good thread if you want to chat. (The other thread is supposed to be just for fasting blood glucose levels)

Hi many thanks for your post. It's a lovely sunny morning here in Suffolk we live right by the sea. So I off for a long bike ride along the sea front and keen to see if my Bg comes down even more. Thanks again take care.

 

[13lizanne]

We're just back from an exhilarating walk in our local woodland, crisp fresh snow and gorgeous scenery. Rural Scotland's not too bad either! Enjoy your bike ride @Alan_in_Suffolk_
P.S. blood down to 4.5 from fbg of 5.7 after walk

@13lizanne that sounds so beautiful, Im just picturing it now.

 

[loulou99782]

Got 2 small loaves in the oven, 1 for communion and 1 for home

 

[13lizanne]

What kind of loaf do you bake @loulou99782 ? I adore the smell of baking bread

These ones are plain white Gluten free. I bake granary, brown, white, savoury or sweet.
I haven't tried making rye bread yet, although my spelt bread is nice with soup.

 

[13lizanne]

Oh you're making me hungry - and it's bedtime, too late to eat. I'll have a granary please

 

[loulou99782]

Granary is my fav too. Chest playing up on nebulizer its silly o'clock

 

[eddie1968]

Morning FBG 6.7 mmol/l. Cold outside with all the snow laying.

 

[loulou99782]

A very low 3.8 shaky and hungry. Had a rough night with chest got snow in London
