i certainly will davidNice one, have a great day off
have a great time dunelm xBon weekend everyone. The sun is shining and the birds and the bees are out in force in the garden.
The wonder wheel of mirth, sadness and “serves you right”, is in holiday mood today and issued another flat 5.
Cough and runny doze sort of clearing up but I had better man up, as they say, and milk if for another day though.
Daughter issued seat numbers for the flights to lands-are-grotty last night - All rows 30, 31 and two in row 32 - I am printing off the rulers of flying just in case: window seat gets the window and one armrest, centre seat gets two armrests and isle seat gets one armrest and a little bit more leg room. If I can wangle sitting next to the twins who, being but two years old, are like J.F Sebastians little replicant friends in the original blade runner film, I can have all the armrests, see out of the window and stretch my legs.
Have a great weekend if you can.
A post with two things I can't tell you which in my simple mind fit perfectly with the vibe of "don't think it, live it" introduced by @poemagraphic. I can't tell you my fbg as I deliberately didn't test it - increasingly unsure it tells me anything useful. I do know not knowing what it is feels remarkably liberating. I also can't tell you just how uplifting it felt to have sun on my back cutting asparagus, listening to bird song and nothing else early this morning after collecting eggs and allowing chickens to roam. Somewhere in there is a method of dealing with T2 control decoupled from Fung, Bilkman, Phinney and Tom Cobbly. Think I'll call it the KISS method (Keep It Simple Stupid)

I have only rarely tested before eating and don't see numbers higher than mid 6s which I think constitute a disaster but I have no way of telling they are high or low. As regards the bacon, pigs have been kept here and I did consider that as an option but now we are downsizing that won't happen. Breckland is awash with pigs but it is not in the farmers interests to sell them to the public.Even though I am now in the habit of testing, I note that in the main, a home A1C test kit can be up to half a percent higher or lower than the actual percentage shown. So, I don’t get hung up on it that much. I find that an A1C reading is more useful before eating than the fbg - as an indication that a window of opportunity for a bit of a treat has opened up (no bread or beer though unfortunately).
Can you feel when you are high or low - I can if it’s a large jump such as up at 8 or down to 3?
Fresh asparagus and eggs - two of the three ingredients needed to make one of the best meals in the world - get out there and pick some crispy bacon.
Cambridgeshire currently then Suffolk.Norfolk is a very different place I can assure you. Eating any of Julie's chickens would not end wellJust eat the chicken, eggs & asparagus..while listening to the bird songs.. in the sunshine.
= Norfolk Paleolithic Cave Man's diet...perfectly as K.I.S.S.
Hello my friend. My GP, also T2, told me it is not necessary to test BG via a meter. He said "What's the point?" I wasn't going to argue with an HCP but I think there IS a point, namely personal motivation. It is a bit like driving on a long car journey and seeing the miles come down, Leeds 170 miles, Leeds 120 miles etc. The same with the bathroom scales. When I get to the Emerald City I might stop then. But how would I know if I was still in Emerald City? Just my two penny worth.A post with two things I can't tell you which in my simple mind fit perfectly with the vibe of "don't think it, live it" introduced by @poemagraphic.

Thanks @True Blue. I do test and follow data - note I say data not information or knowledge. World of difference and very unclear what it has to do with wellness or well being. None of the sages on here has ever convinced me they are remotely likely to enter the right GPS co-ordinates for where I want to go.Hello my friend.

Thanks PM...TBH I'm relieved it's arrived finally...now I can work on getting rid of it...home made chicken soup today...possibly tomorrow until it's gone.orry you’re under the weather..hugs from a distance.
Well done Freema.we finally are allowed to have a cat legally
I agree unequivocally True Blue.but I think there IS a point, namely personal motivation.
If testing rigorously is useful in managing your diabetes then continue. If you have a good idea and set of data to keep you well managed the regime may perhaps be relaxed a little. Rigorous or relaxed seems to make little difference to me hence the uncertainty over what I am learning.I agree unequivocally True Blue.
ian you have made your feelings clear on this matter once again...thank you for the unnecessary/unsolicited endorsement to continue testing.If testing rigorously is useful in managing your diabetes then continue.

Thanks DJC...having another coffee just to make absolutely surehugs for the lurgy. Hope the coffee does it’s stuff.

Thanks Freema...it's just a little cold but frustrating how it does affect us...taking things easy today.hope you´ll be well soon....
