I saw my GP and have done a thread http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/thr...risk-of-tia-stroke-not-for-cholesterol.62553/ for anyone interested. I'm even more confused about statins than ever now! The visit to the GP did nothning for my BS. Before lunch I hit an awful 6.3, unheard of for a long time.

I had a very stressful day yesterday, unusual for me, but I blame my GP for scaring the living daylights out of me with all her talk of stroke risks.. .
I was in the 6's all day. My evening meal shot up to 8.4 and was nothing to do with the food as I'm normally under 7 with that meal. Went to bed on 6.7. Woke up on 6.2.
Hopefully today will be better as I am calmer.

I often find stress is the worst thing for BS- far worse than food. My diagnosis took place at the point at which I had a breakdown of sorts and I am sure some of it was just a reaction to the constant stress hormones. Try and relax today and then make an informed decision in your own time.
Mine was 6 today.
4.0 for me this morning. This is very much in the middle of my personal range.
Last night was my first full, "proper" sleep, when I haven't felt there has been any jetlag hanging around. The result was sleeping until 08:45. What a great sleep.
Yesterday I had a great day, catching up on a few more jobs from the to-do list, with it now beginning to feel achievable (rather than plain outrageous!). I had to contact our household insurers as our renewal paperwork, effective from Saturday, confirmed the property was still unoccupied. Removing that clause has made a nice reduction to the policy, so, there's always a silver lining.
I have to get my bones moving this morning. I want to get some chicken marinating, for a batch of Butter Chilli Chicken. Having defrosted the freezer since I came home, I now have space to do a bit of batch cooking. I keep thinking of things I'd like to eat, and then have to remind myself I have left my personal chef overseas. I'm missing him. And, I will add I'm missing him for other things than just for his excellent cooking. Just in case he has a peak in here.
Having had my home HbA1c testing kit arrive yesterday, I need to decide when I'm going to do a test. Curiously, I'm a bit nervy about it. I have no reason to be, but it's the way it is.
Oh well. Best get a wiggle on. Have a great day everyone.

tested before lunch, and 5.3. So hopefully yesterday is behind me. I met a friend for coffee (had mineral water), listened to her woes and completely forgot my own!

Went to bed on 5.6 (average)
Woke up with 5.9 (slightly higher than average)

4.0 for me, so bang in the middle of my personal range.
I haven't had breakfast yet, but had best make it substantial as I have to take a trawl around IKEA today. It's not my favourite place, but it's better to go on my own, as it's one place guaranteed to turn one 67 year old, mature and calm man into a petulant, grumpy little boy. And to be fair, that's his description. I wouldn't disagree with him. But, I need to make a list or I'll come back with lots of nothing I need and not the couple of items I want.
Enjoy, playmates.

6.8 (whaaattt!!! 
) - I can only assume this is a result of eating high protein really late and a long gap between lunch and dinner yesterday. We didn't go out to dinner until 9, at which point I was 5.5; had garlic mushrooms and pepper steak, at +2 I was 6.3, so thought that was OK, but the response to the steak must have kept coming and/or liver got confused during the night (again). And I did retest to check. Heigh-ho.

Rod, I think it's time you wrote another open letter to that liver of yours!
Open letter? I'd be starting a disciplinary process. I mean, there's a conduct warning in there somewhere surely?

What is it about grown men and IKEA? Mr E refuses to go unless absolutely forced to. Usually I ask to go as a birthday treat otherwise he'd never take me ( I don't drive.)

5.8 this morning ( and that was after I'd pottered as I had left meter downstairs) - this suggest I'd be better off having either a light evening meal or my meal earlier in day. Not sure Mr E is going to go for that.
