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

I can “see” this place - nature sometimes seems unbalanced but perhaps that’s because we may be standing in the wrong spot. I like your plastic trees strung along the shore line. Will you be propagating your Buddleia?
 
Great story thanks for sharing. I think on the not pretending to understand point there are a few of us - me for one- who really need to be as truthful as the little boy in the Emperor's new clothes if we are honest with ourselves. Being honest with ourselves isn't going to happen though - 2020 has proved that in spades.
 
Are you really saying that you like apple cider vinegar? For me it is beyond horrible - but I will persevere because the leg cramps are truly horrible.
Yes, I really like ACV. I actually like most vinegar. By and large the commonly followed LC WOE is pants but ACV is a bright spot. I think the vinaigrette with plenty of ACV is why I eat so much salad.

Funny - but at the same time quite serious. Potassium I have been told - I tend to use a lot of apple cider vinegar - pickling things and flavouring stuff like red cabbage - in a glass of water before bed works better than off a spoon. I worked my way up over several weeks to three tablespoons - but in water - great exercise for face muscles and never fails to give Mrs Miggins a chortle.
 
I immediately though “Good Omens” by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

Two of my favourite authors, their collaboration was superbly funny and I was happy with the tv adaptation of the book.

5.9 this morning and I thought it was Sunday, so now I shall await the tesco man instead
 
Yes, I agree that taking it does exercise the face muscles. Have been taking it in water - although it does still taste really strong and results in lots of facial contortions.
 
Did you ever have Fennings Fever Cure when you were young?
Its the worst taste I have ever come across.
You don't eat Montezuma's or cabbage casserole then Derek? For posting parsimony I'll share this. I wouldn't wish COVID and lockdown on anyone at anytime but I just wonder what a timeout would do/has done for many families. I always found the school holidays magical with the boys. A measure of grace for us - you can't buy time.

Having got Conn's syndrome due to an 30mm adrenal tumour I produce masses of aldosterone, this causes sodium retention and loss of potassium.
Hence bp goes up and pretty much every organ system in the body is affected.

Therefore the need to take a lot of potassium sparing diuretics and limit my sodium input to c.1grm per day.

When normal system control and feedback break down one has to intervene in a big way.
I may still have to add k to my diet by supplement.

Thank goodness we never experienced Fennings Fever Cure when we were younger. I did come across Marmite though - which for me was beyond horrible.
 

Sorry @Krystyna23040
I vote acv here too

Not in the abundance @ianpspurs indulges, but I do find it pleasant & refreshing in water

Wasn't aware of the cramp relief qualities

Good to know

There you go again. Marmite is v, v good. You worry me and I'm sure poor Mr K must be in a state of perpetual perturbation

Someone misinformed me of the date yesterday
7.50am BG 5.4. Forgot to do on rising, this was 30 mins and a bowl ( 45g) of nut granola later.
 
7.8 today not too bad considering we had garlic bread with tea ( or dinner if you are posh ) and Christmas cake afterwards which was lush

Ah - so that's what is wrong with Mr K. He must be thinking he is married to an Alien.

Actually, that's what I used to feel like when I was younger but that may have been because my Dad was Polish.

Absolutely nothing wrong with being Polish or part Polish or anything else. I'm certain you are a real cutey pie but your food choices leave a lot to be desired. Lots of rugby on TV today - check Mr K's glass regularly, there's a good gel. He's involved in vital research.
