Hi and welcome to the forum :)

Thanks for the welcome. alliebee, Amazing knowledge base here. I always thought I was superman but I guess like many a bit delusional. Fact is being 40 ibs overweight is a fact, now I need to accept that and do something about it. It is a GREAT opportunity with all the help and support available to sort it hopefully!

A little high this morning 6 mmol despite going to bed last night at 5 mmol.
A six kilometer walk only brought my count down marginally to 5,8

Hope yesterday's storm in the UK did not hit you too badly.
Have a great day everyone!

Michael Gove and his insane educational? policies!
7.6 but yesterday was not your usual day. Skipped meals, didn't drink enough, a lot of anxiety and a rather large tub of local blackcurrant and liquorice ice-cream to celebrate the safe arrival of my first grandchild - a darling little girl Blae (rhymes with hay and is Manx for flower - very fitting since she is so dainty and was unfolding before my eyes when I was allowed to see her 30 mins after her arrival into the world)

What a way to get on the right side of her grandma than to arrive within hours of me turning up on the doorstep, ensuring we have maximum time and cuddles together during our 2 week stay!

My new challenge is to avoid the wonderful specialist ice cream shop selling such wonderful flavours :)
Found this thread but not the piccie! Congratulations! Hope you enjoy all those cuddles! Hope you've all got iPads or Skype! Great way of communicating and seeing one another! Enjoy!

6,6 two hours after breakfast of two eggs and bacon, so only 0,8 rise from pre prandial count.

They all seem comparatively high today. I have been spoilt with numbers in the fives and fours recently.

Good luck Kimbo I'm sure you'll be fine! (If it was me I'd be on the phone or down reception tomorrow afternoon or Friday never mind wait over the weekend ;)).

6.1 here, better than yesterday anyway.

Still excellent numbers though, Pavlos. Don't beat yourself up, probably just a blip due to hidden stress or changing weather or similar.
