What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Thank you, dunelm.
 
We have fond memories of Polperro, PM. My father in law nicknamed it Pol'parrot. Enjoy.
 
5.2 this morning, we lost a pear tree to the storms so I have clear that up. Luckily it missed everything in its fall so it will just be a chainsaw job. Shame though as it was a lovely tree and the pears had just started forming.

I'm sorry to hear about the tree. I rented a room one year, there was a pear tree right outside my window. So lovely.

Outside my window here is a huge dead tree. Two years now and they have not felled it. It's bitter irony that this poor tree is still standing while your lovely fruitful tree was lost to the storm. Hugs.
 
As long as I'm here ...

6.5 a couple of hours ago this Thursday morning. I am now enjoying a second mug of coffee and the LPO playing "The Magic Mirror" by a composer named Hurlstone. I wonder if he ever does.
 


Those moules are really agreeing with you!
Hope you have better weather than we did when we crossed on the ferry all those years ago - returning to Polruan from Fowey after a meal out, a real pea souper fog had descended and the ferry was cancelled, we found a chap with a small outboard motor who agreed to take us back but he got lost and we nearly ended up going out to sea.

Yes we did meet in Plymouth. Just got back, my how it’s changed!
 
Just in from an interesting chat with practice nurse.
Her: the Dapagliflozin has worked too well we are worried your BG is too low so we are going to halve the dose.
Me: I doubt it is the meds I would think it is the change to a Low carb diet
Her: What do you eat?
I explained what I had been eating and how much I had lost and all the other health benefits I had found and she asked if I had made it up myself!! I pointed her here and to DD website. She was amazed at the drop in BG in 3 months 78 to 38
I have got to take half strength Dapa for 3 months and then have another HbA1c. I didn't have the heart to tell her I stopped taking them about a month ago! Hopefully it will not rise too much over the next 3 months without the meds.
 
Results from HbA1c today were 61 and I was told that was good, especially as it was 89 just 6 months ago. I don’t really know what that means. From reading here, it seems it could be lower, but I was told today that was a good number...

That is a very romantic tale about you and OH getting back from Polruan. We changed our plans and decided to go to Polperro this morning. Would have loved to have gone on the boat but the weather didnt allow that so we went by car. Had a lovely couple of hours there though the rain was hammering down. We found the old cottage we stayed in 25 years ago but were sad it has fallen into disrepair. Visited the rustic pub on the rocky outcrop for old times sake and then cut the journey back to Fowey by taking the car ferry from Brodinnock. When we returned it was dry and the weather at base camp had been better.

Great number @gennepher In 6 months you have reduced it by 1/3 so fantastic progress especially with water/sewage and cochlear implant issues. We could probably all be lower but put in context a stellar effort.

Oh!
Thank you very much.
So I should be pleased and doing the hoppity skippity dance then!
