Happy Wednesday folks.

After several high blood glucose levels over a few days, a nice 5.2 yesterday morning...followed by a crazy 4.2 today. I'm rubbish when I go that low. Guess we all have our "best functioning" numbers. Mine....around 5.0 & I'm ready to rock! Had me a nice slice of Dundee cake to take my level up. Life can be kind sometimes. ;) Good health everyone. X

PS: Thanks Lou Lou. X

I am best around 4.7 - 5.8, any lower and I feel rubbish. It's really nice to have you back Alisonjane. I like the cake idea

Good morning all. I had a fasting reading of 6.8 this morning after a 6.5 one at bedtime last night.

Oooh, I wanted to do Myth, but now that I've finished my degree, a single module is more expensive than the first year of MA! Good luck :)

5.6 after 5.8 last night....bit higher than normal but like scottish-jim I couldn't be bothered arguing with my meter either. Opened a new box of strips and since then my levels have been higher than I expect....it's happened before so could be the reason....dodgy strips ;)

Bullies, discrimination of any kind, bad manners, parents who let their kids run amok & spoil things for everyone else, unkind spiteful people, being a clumsy clod, toast crumbs in the bed, cold feet!!

Where are you in Yorkshire I was bought up in Sheffield. Love God's own county :):):D
Hii LouLou

Just South of Huddersfleld and about 30 mins drive from Sheffield.

Gods own Country indeed, best description I ever heard of Sheffield is that is a terrible picture, but set in a beautiful frame....
