6.6 this morning. I had a really good night's sleep but did have a little chocolate yesterday afternoon. One more family bash today and then I can get back on the diet for 9 days and then going to a wedding abroad so will be away for a long weekend. Won't forget to pack my meter this time!

I started walking to lower blood glucose and get my body used to exercise as part of managing my diabetes after diagnosis. After my first follow up HbA1c I wanted to up the exercise and decided to move from brisk / very brisk walking to running. I did the NHS Choices couch to 5K (C25K) - it wasn't without it's challenges but, it was easier than I thought it would be.

I never ever thought I'd become a runner but, when I pulled a calf muscle and had to rest and repair I missed the running big time - which astounded me!

Give the C25K a go - it's a great way to get into running. Also, checkout Parkrun.

You can do it!

Thank you for your post, it gives me hope that I can one day reach my dream of being a runner I will have a look at the websites mentioned and plan accordingly. Do you have special running shoes? I have a pair of normal trainers which will do for the walking stage.

I have kept this post to encourge me, plus remind me as sometimes fibromyalgia fog kicks in and I don't remember anything! Sometimes even my name which is embarrassing!

What was I saying about being forgetful? I forgot to post my waking reading.

Today's is 7.5.

I am interested in reading people's comments about higher evening and morning readings as this is the same for me.

Lexa and Hankjam, hope your colds are on the mend.

Looks a lovely day today so hubby and I are going out for a long walk, the first one in months. I think hubby is showing signs of prediabetes at least, so I am trying to encourage him to eat lower carb and exercise with me. He is fine with this although he does enjoy wine gums and potato chipsticks. So weaning him off these. Going to try and get him to visit the nurse for a well man clinic to get his bloods checked but it can be hard to get him to visit the surgery.
