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

Slight change of topic...
I've noticed I don't always get the notifications that others have replied to this or other threads.

Have 'unwatched' then "watched" thread again, see if that fixes things.

@jjraak
I have found the same with notifications on this and threads I follow.
I did what you did, unwatch and watch again but made no difference...
Also I put the person’s name in my reply now in the hopes that will help notifications?
I end up trawling through all the posts to check....

Perhaps I shouldn’t laugh as you were scared, but the thought of you being asked to leave the swimming class is impossible to resist. Glad the boys can swim though. I think swimming is definitely easiest to learn when young.
 

Well done Debs. What stamina! You’re brilliant.
 
Went to diabetic podiatry appt. there were 3 people already there. I asked how long they’d been waiting and it was an hour! They said no one had come out and there was a ‘do not disturb’ notice on the door. Time to rally the troops and we all went and knocked on the door together. The chap who appeared was genuinely perplexed and said there was no clinic today! A couple of the people were quite old and had mobility issues and looked so crestfallen, he said he would see us anyway and was so apologetic and lovely about the mix up we all forgave him. Appointments are made through a central office so communication had obviously broken down.
As a bonus he said he would never have thought I was diabetic as my feet were in tip top shape. I fairly skipped out of there - I bet he says that to all the girls.
 
good afternoon all

was 4.3 this morning

wrote this out and missed hitting post earlier

we were out early doors to the garage this morning because the car developed an unexpected and mysterious oil leak, it was already booked in to get a pre MOT check later in the week so we took it in this morning, they had a quick look at it and decided it was probably a small leak around the oil filter.
Since it was booked in for a service tomorrow it's back to the garage tomorrow morning early for that and they'll do the pre MOT then too. We already suspect a wheel bearing and two tyres so at least the leak doesn't seem to be too serious, fingers crossed

we had a most beautiful sunny day yesterday and today, as forecast, it's piddling down, never mind, at least we got a healthy afternoon in the garden yesterday

Hope your day is treating you well
 

I'm sure he considered it worth opening up just to have had the opportunity to examine a tip-top pair of feet for a change! Congratulations to you for your healthy feet and to all of you for rallying and rousing the doc.
 
6.2 this morning. I am learning that my morning FBG numbers are not so much the result of what I ate just the night before as they are an ongoing indication of what I have been eating on recent days.

At least that's the idea I got on this particular morning, from reviewing my FBG number today and on recent mornings. Who knows, tomorrow morning my reading may give me another idea entirely, maybe even one that will contradict this morning's idea.

Que sera sera.
 
The winner is for the fbg and gardening yesterday. Hug for the car - can't such an experienced knitter as yourself knit bearings?
 
GGF (glamorous grannies's feet) competition no good without the pics

Oh blimey! My feet may have impressed a diabetes podiatrist but I ain’t no foot model. Wouldn’t dream of photographing them - would probably put you off your mug of tea.
 
It was a good job you all knocked on the door and at least he was friendly. Top marks for the tip top feet! Re swimming the others in the class knew I was terrified so they all kept looking for me when I disappeared....once like an upside down beetle on the floor of the pool, another time clinging to the water filter with my knuckles locked, both times rescued by the other learners while teacher sat dryside just shaking her head in disbelief.
 

It sounds like a sitcom in the making!
 

I've noticed the same thing about notifications. I may try unwatching and then watching again too.

Love and peace, especially for whatever's going in your head, and best wishes for restful sleep.

Have you ever accidentally photographed your feet while aiming your phone at something else?

Because I have, and only realized it later on when scrolling through pics I'd actually intended to take.
 

Have you ever seen the movie "Turtle Diary"? IIRC, Glenda Jackson plays an author writing a children's book about Jemima Water Beetle.
