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

FBG 6.5. Very happy with that. It is, of course, the result of taking a correction dose (45u) just before bed because BG was 15.4.

Better today, but pretty tired. I didn't get out of my pyjamas yesterday and just lazed around all day. I did put on a heavy jumper over them because I had a nose bleed as well, which dripped onto my dressing gown, so it had to be put into the washing. Thank goodness for machines to do these jobs. Still sitting here in my pj's and the refreshed dressing gown. Not willing to do much. BG is up, of course, after tea, tea, tea, tea.

Whatever is wrong with me, I don't think it has anything to do with Covid. Perhaps I'm just tired - or lazy.

Hug for the nose bleed but good fbg. Whatever is wrong with you it is absolutely not being lazy.
 
Fbg 7.1

Busy this morning...playing catch up here, then I need a nap...

I am sure these wild animals in my garden are only coming in for a chance to act in front of the trail camera...
Like this clip...
Midnight is just as bad...

Creative is a kaleidoscope...it is quite a pretty one...I think.
I need a cuppa and shut eye. Be back later...
Be good!

The sparrows are getting quarrelsome and fighting and feathers flying. The bird food cupboard is bare. Amazon are rushing an emergency delivery for them. It should arrive at 3:15 pm....

Enjoy the cuppa and nap because we certainly enjoy those videos and I really like that kaleidoscope. Thank you for both. I'm assuming the rest of the assembled multitude will also like both. @Annb is already one of us.
 
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and Neanderthals, I have nothing against Neanderthals, but am not impressed with politicians and journalists.

Blood sugars this morning were a straight 5.0 a prime number, prime numbers are the spice of life along with pi ( 3.14159 ). Yes I have taken my medication this morning, but it is taking some time to take effect.
.
Well fellow posters and painters Mrs J received a telephonic call asking if we were in and could the caller pop down with a little project for me, drat there goes my mid morning nap.
The caller arrived with a foot the ball boot store I made for them some time ago asking if I could convert it into a log store also increase the width, hopefully attached is a picture of the slightly wrecked boot store which will require a total rebuild. Should be interesting and earn me a few brownie points with Mrs J.
.
Stay safe all

That Kaleidoscope image would have made a very good 60's-70's wallpaper. Great for keeping you off balance.

Good luck with that. Can't immediately see how you are going to do it, unless the wood stored is going to be in very small quantities. Looking forward to seeing how you do it.

Good morning everyone, it’s market day here in the dark and dangerous north so I will be flitting from stall to stall muttering ‘carbs, more carbs, even more carbs, ah! Bacon”. “Sourdough bread is better for your gut”. - no it isn’t and I already have a proudly exhibiting gut thank you very much. They do have an interesting variety of scotch eggs by some folks branded as The Clucking Pig and the game counter is good for a treat. Started on a course of Prednisolone yesterday - only 5 days but 40mg a day.
Art bit - another one finished. Have a smashing Saturday if you can, I am drinking koffy next.

I want to give a hug to your post that the emojis is not letting me do anything else but like emojies @Annb

You're not lazy. I've done the tiredness thing today. I have no idea why. I went shopping this morning for some groceries but I wasn't out long, but for some reason I was just tired when I got back. And I have just sat on the bed for the rest of the day I couldn't go to sleep couldn't do anything so I've just been watching the garden birds... it's annoying. I had so much stuff I wanted to do at home today.

I hope your nosebleed settled quickly.

Wow. This person doesn't want much do they?
Widen it as well.
Much easier to start again from scratch Alf...

But some brownie points from Mrs J. wouldn't come amiss...

I suppose it kept you out of mischief @alf_Josiah

My son, Neil has been on Prenisolone for many months - to deal with sarcoidosis but for the last 6 months he has been steadily reducing it and took his final dose a few days ago. When taking it, he put on a lot of weight but has lost most of it again now that he no longer has to take it. But it was a long, slow process to get off it - presumably the longer you have to take it, the longer it takes to come off of it. :)But it does seem to be a very effective drug.

That is really interesting and is highly likely why the pharmacist told me it was important to go home and rest for the remainder of the day. Of course I couldn't as I had 3 pilates classes to teach that evening.

Hugs for the warning after the event & work was all planned.

I once made the mistake of using a psychadelic green wallpaper in my bathroom. Not only migraine inducing but I could never figure out where the wall - and therefore the light switch - was. Couldn't figure out if I was standing up, sitting down, approaching the door, or what. Bad mistake.

Oh dear @Annb.

Shouldn't chuckle, but the whole psychedelic thing...

Save a fortune for some of the more 'recreational' users out there, tho.

God forbid I ever had that wallpaper & experience back in the day, after a night in the pubs...eek .:hungover::hilarious:
