I did respond yesterday but my post has vanished from the timeline @dunelmSuch an interesting water bottle. Good cleaning tip. You could of course get one of these. Reduces waste, saves the planet, doubles up as an exercise machine for arthritic hands and the grandchildren can play water fights.

The care sounds a bit messed up @dogslifeGood morning campers.My fbs this morning was 11.3. It is 10 weeks since I stopped taking the statins which elevated my daily levels to between 12.1 to 21.1 and my HbA1c to 76 but my fbs remain between 10+ to 13+. It's a mystery! I have sent my fbs results to a GP following a telephone appointmentI with her a while ago and was expecting a response from her but instead this was followed up by a phone call with the Pharmacologist who was supposed to do a medication review. All she did was ask me to monitor my blood pressures 4x/ day for a week and to refer me back for an appointment with a Practice nurse to discuss my diabetes. (My blood pressures have all been in the normal range as I expected). I have a face to face appointment with a practice nurse this afternoon so hopefully she will give me some positive advice. The saga continues! I have never been anxious about my diabetes before but am now concerned that damage is being caused by the ongoing high levels, especially as I have non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Sorry to be so self indulgent but needed to tell someone who understood. Thanks for reading. I wish you all well. Stay well and cool. Best wishes.
I get the emails but rarely read the articles or listen to the podcasts. Good to see your posting.Hi guys,
An interesting assessment from States on Zoe re: Keto. Viewed as not sustainable and it doesn't support the human biome.

Good day yesterday with son and daughter

Midnight clapped eyes on her...does the slow eye blink. Hey nice person he says, stroke me....
Daughter is now his new best friend...
Creative is a very large tomato on my food plate cut like a flower, but it still looked like a big clumsy tomato. So took photo in Laboscope. Now it looks like a flower...
Have a good day

I posted this around 7 am this morning.
And I answered a few people.
Sorry no time to read again and look in now.
Bye...
Ramble away - I think the take away message is to write notes (make a copy) and after consultation, hand notes to the doctor/nurse/pharmacist - My GP tends to ask me what I think should happen - then after we finish laughing ….T
Thank you for your reply@ianpspurs. I had a good face to face appointment this afternoon with a Practice nurse. She listened to my concerns and took notice of all the data I had provided in response to requests a) from the doctor I had spoken to on 18/5 and b) the Practice Pharmacist on 5/7. She couldn't understand why the doctor that I delivered my information to hadn't got back to me herself after commenting that due to my raised levels I needed a medication review. (It was the receptionist that made the appointment with the pharmacist as she was the person who carried out medication reviews. In retrospect I think that was a misunderstanding as the pharacist didn't address my diabetes. Instead she asked me to test/ record my blood pressures 4x/ day. When I questioned this she arranged for me to discuss things with a nurse). The nurse I saw today explained that, as a precaution they usually wait for 2 high HbA1c results before increasing medication. She sent a message with all my handwritten info to the on- call doctor for further advice. I had a call shortly afterwards to say he'd advised me to make an appointment for a slightly earlier HbA1c test at the end of this month. If it is still high they will adjust my medication. That gives my body an extra 2 weeks since stopping the statins on 5/5. At least now I have a plan of action instead of feeling like a ping pong ball passed from, nurse to a doctor, to a pharmacist, to another nurse and back to a doctor. Oh dear! Here I go rambling on again! Sorry!Enjoy this hot sunny weather while it lasts. Best wishes.

Good that they have brought your next HbA1c forward @dogslife. It is very puzzling what is going on.Thanks for your reply@Krystyna23040. I don't test after every meal anymore as my diet hasn't changed for some time and I take Gliclizide with breakfast and evening meal as well as Metformin. My levels usually drop before lunch to around 9. I only have a small salad for lunch without carbs but my levels creep up again by bedtime. ( I do have a snack sometimes at around 8pm as we eat our evening meal around 6pm). I'm convinced the statins elevated my levels. The advice from my GP today is to make an appointment for my next HbA1c at the end of this month to give my body enough time to recover from the stains then review my medication if necessary. Thanks again for your reply.
Hope the appointment with the oncologist goes well @ianpspursHo, ho young masters what have we here then? St Swithun's day 2022 full of Eastern promise here in Breckland. Sun, shorts, sandals, salmon, salad and finally an appointment with an oncologist in Cambridge on my agenda today. @gennepher shared art and family time sounds just the ticket. @dunelm Five Practice Telling Fibs rofl (clean version) . If it wasn't so serious, Carry on further up the Khyber is so much more apt. Thanks for the art and take care with the electrical work. That house will soon be like Trigger's broom.@dogslife despite the twists and turns it does seem as though things may be moving in the right direction. No two situations are the same but you, @jjraak and myself seem to be experiencing exactly the same issues of the "lived reality" not matching the Great Bloviator's assurances that there is nothing to see here, move along folks. Funny that, obviously just pure coincidence. JKP and I are truly blessed in spending so much time with our grandchildren. On their behalf and indeed young people everywhere have a chune folks. Just a D:Ream I have, old habits die hard: although I no longer wear tie dye grandad tops and loons pants - JKP objected vociferously. The hijacking by Tone and co should not imply anything. Yes, it is a dreadful video but I like cheese. Especially Waitrose No 1 Jarslberg.
Thanks and I hope Poppy comes through well to enjoy more life with you and Mr K.Hope the appointment with the oncologist goes well @ianpspurs
All the best with the oncologist. Triggers Broom is a distinct possibility. Have a great time with those small people.Ho, ho young masters what have we here then?

Raining here - perhaps I could sell it in jars to those special folk who buy mountain air.Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m sitting here thinking about what or who shall include in the and bit, perhaps a 3 toed Sloth is apt given the shenanigans going on in the Houses of Parliament enough of that I cry.
Today a reading of 8.3, well below my hospital given level of 10.
How’s your morning going so far? Naked sunbathing is not to be recommended without factor 1005 suncream. Have you folks googled any rain dances yet? I think a few of my gardening friends have.
Anyway, I have a life away from electronics as have we all and I want to get on with mine, before Mrs J starts a) talking at me and b) hands me task lists.
Stay safe, stay cool and remember to apply for your hosepipe ban before the rush.
Thank you. Forgot to say earlier my half price salopettes arrived - good down to -20c. Possibly not a great idea to test them on Sunday through Tuesday. With my battery heated jacket, borg lined hoodie, 82 layers and the Brucie Bonus for fuel bills I may just stay warmish at least through autumn - or Fall as "we" say.All the best with the oncologist. Triggers Broom is a distinct possibility. Have a great time with those small people.
Good morning@ianpspurs. Enjoy all those positives today has to offer. Best wishes for your appointment.Ho, ho young masters what have we here then?
