Heehee. Wonder if @Trachet feels the same (she's nice music teacher off another thread and plays church organ too)

If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours

I tried taking it for my PMS but the high quality stuff I needed was just too expensive. We have hormone problems in my family, my mum was only 9 when she started her periods and mine have been heavy and irregular for years

Or the liver or bad circulation or hormones or antibodies.
More can go against us type 2s. Other types can have just one fraction making their bgs problematic. Mind you other types can have multipal fractions influencing bgs but if only one it's more straight forward.
You're type 2 with possible young arthritis or similar. Type 2s have to contend with everything increasing their bgs but very very little lowering them. (Meds only)
In my experience exercise increases my bgs. Never lowers them because the amount of stress involved counteracts its benefits. Enjoyable movement works for me. Everyone is different.
Get that diagnosis asap so everyyhing else can find its place in your life successfully. Right for you! :)
I cannot wait to see your lower hba1c result and your drs opinion on all your hard work. :)

I didn't realise poor circulation could have an effect on BGs. That's interesting....

I have a friend who came home from work one evening to find his wife in the process of applying this remedy. He was very surprised, to say the least! :joyful:
 
Really craving fruit juice over the last couple of days - something sharp or citrusy. I have no idea why. I haven't given in to it, but I have to confess it's a struggle... :(

I've found a 7up with mint. Very very refreshing. Sugar free of course but only in a small bottle from my corner shop. I enjoy it more room temperature rather than chilled.
Experiment I say. I never would have bought it but I was looking for anything diet not coke. I love it. :)
 
Thanks for the hugs @maureen5752, I'm not on medication apart from antihistamines for my hay fever. I have been feeling much better since I started losing weight but if it gets worse in the future I think I'm going to try red clover. I know I'm in for the long haul and I want to be prepared
 
I have found out today that one thing you should never do is demonstrate the wrong way to use a Mandolin slicer, and it was a painful lesson to learn.
 
Waking BG of 6.5 this morning. Definitely heading in the wrong direction - I was regularly getting 4s a couple of weeks ago. The only thing that's changed is my GP has prescribed a new bp treatment, which gives a lactose warning, among other things. Think I'm going to be going back to the drawing board with that one - I feel rubbish on it anyway. :(

Can you not persuade your GP to swap the prescription back or was the old one giving problems.

Hi @debrasue when I was having trouble with Rampril my GP changed them and told me that with BP medication it was often 'trial and error' as there was so many choices and it was a case if finding the right one so it may be an idea to go back and try another one.

Hope you get it sorted @debrasue its frustrating when the numbers go off isn't it. Regularly getting 4s is great - hope you can get back to them and don't feel rubbish - sending you a virtual hug :)
 
Morning folks hope everyone is well and having a nice relaxing Bank Holiday weekend.

My BS reading this morning was 5.9 so happy with that.

Today there is a mountainbike of ironing beckoning and a house that needs a wee bit of TLC, still weather is rubbish today here so no hardships there.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable day.
 
I love auto correct......apparently I have a "Mountainbike" of ironing!!!! Yesterday it kept autocorrecting to "breasts" thank god I caught that one!!
 
Morning folks, it's typical Bank Holiday weather here - dull grey and windy :) There's a bank holiday festival just up the road from us today so weather permitting we're going to go up there
