4.2
Bit to low that I like 4.5 better but I've only just got out of bed.
Normally had breakfast long past by now so I think that's it.
Last twenty four hours been sleeping waking sleeping aking sleeping waking ... doped up because of my back.
 
I've always been like that since my teens and wasn't diabetic , overweight etc .... and yes now I am diabetic ( thats not something I wanted to admit to this time last year ) I do now take care more . The eating often hasn't been a problem its just the large amounts when I do eat :oops:.Re meds I'm on metformin 500g x2 aday .

Re portion sizes, you are not alone. It was my greatest struggle to sit in front of a plate with mickey mouse sized servings. Thats why I weight my food, cant trust myself to just "judge" the helping . This way I can say to myself "how pathetic can you get by cheating a balance" .
Luckily its all habit and eventually we do get use to our new allowances.
 
We have been in Doha for a lot longer than planned, thanks to thunderstorms galore - which means I ran out of tests on my cartridge... I wasn't expecting to need more so cannot give a reading today... the odd thing is I felt as though I hadn't had a liver dump this morning for the first time for ages... shame not to check it out... just packing to leave at 4... hoorah... home to my animals... :) :cat::cat::cat::cat: There are no turtles or fish pictures... :)

Yes it is habit and we are all creatures of that and its a case of replacing bad with good habits .:)
