And to keep on topic my fbgl was 5.1 this morning.
A member getting banned from posting in a thread has been around forever, pretty much the same as the moderation team.Though I am aware other threads can be a little more 'rigid' in regards to post wandering off point ....I've been THAT poster..
I wasn't aware there was now a sin-bin with Twitter like restrictions .?
That is really good news.Moving on; I tested negative today and JKP made it downstairs for a while yesterday and hopes to do more today.
I always advise my clients not to push it - which is good advice and I really must start following it.I knew you wouldn't take it easy and I'm not surprised your body recognised that level of squats in a week. Did Mr K binge watch rugby yesterday?
That is so sad.Yes, it is awful not knowing what happened to your pet.Em's dog, Bella, ran after the other 2 bigger dogs when they broke out of the garden and that was the last time she was seen, despite appeals and notices around the village and 3 searches of the moorland. We think, perhaps, that all 3 dogs ran out onto the moor and the younger ones came back to the village, where we saw them outside our house and got them into the car but Bella wasn't with them. They must have left her behind. She was a bit older (8) and had a bit of arthritis, so she would be slower than them. We keep imagining how she must have died - trapped in a bog, drowned in a pool or just exhausted. It's upsetting to think that she may have lingered, alone and afraid. I don't suppose we will ever know.
One of the most annoying things about it is that they did have a device to put on a collar which could have led them to her in time but it was intended for the younger dogs who were in the habit of straying together. Bella never went out of the garden unless with someone taking her for a walk, so nobody thought of putting it on her collar.
She wasn't my dog but even so, it brings tears to my eyes thinking about her, even after all these months.
Now THAT IS good news.I tested negative today and JKP made it downstairs for a while yesterday and hopes to do more today. That should be good for me to keep an eye on what she is ordering on that iPad of hers. Parts of this abode look like a warehouse just now
Mine often goes up after sleep and then goes back down during the morning. Hopefully I will receive my Freestyle Libre 3 today and then will be able to properly chart the times my body is processing glucose. The Freestyle 3 logs the glucose level automaticly every 5 mins so it should give a much clearer picture. However, after i get some regular readings with close to 0 carbs and no booze, will do some tests to see how I react to some carbs and alcohols. I found that a small amount of pasta did not get a big rise, yet a small amount of rice caused a big jump. This just proves that we are all different.FBG Fingerprick 10.2 Libre 10.1 Blurgh!
Unexpected since before bed was 6.9 and that was after not eating for about 8 hours. Grumbles into coffee.
Another smashing piece of autumnel art and yes, I can see the therapeutic value of placing individual leaves. I don’t use rapeseed oil so can’t really say. Coconut, peanut and rice oils for frying. Olive oil for other things.Fbg 6.5
From my trail camera in the night.
Cat, Midnight, is watching the foxes.
There are a lot of fox eyes in the bushes keeping an eye on that cat.
The first half of video is from one trail camera, the second half is from the the camera on the other end of the swing.
On another issue - food. Does anyone else have an issue with rapeseed oil? I had a list of foods and products which were safe to eat with my diabetes. But now, bit by bit over the past few months I started having a bad tummy reaction to some foods I was safe with before. This was getting worse. Then it got ridiculous. There have been notices outside some shops here,saying that certain products now have different oils than that stated on them, because of the shortage of sunflower oil. But the notice also said, not to worry because you wouldn't be allergic to them, and a few other things. You would be safe eating the products with the replacement oils.
A little lightbulb came on in my head. Is this what is making me ill?
Experimenting. Writing down what foods were making me ill. But I found one brand of food was fine, but not another brand. So, looking at ingredients list by now. And also by now, the manufacturers have updated their ingredients list. They now list rapeseed oil. That turned out to be the culprit for me. But it is now a lot of hard work reading the ingredients list (I have a magnifying glass with a light on it to help with this). Rapeseed oil is in pretty much a lot of foods now. Even prawns you can eat from the pack, the week before last I bought some from England and there was no rapeseed oil in, but on Saturday in Wales, I went to get some more from a different shop. They actually had rapeseed oil in them, so did the ready to eat mackerel. Some tins of fish I buy as a standby now have rapeseed oil added to the oil in the tin.
When I accidentally eat something, that I have checked the ingredients list, but missed the rapeseed oil ingredient (sometimes ingredients are in two sections), then I suddenly get tummy ache, and am running to the toilet agin. The foods I can buy for cupboard staples and standbys are very restricted now for my diabetes and blood sugars control.
Creative is the now finished painting from yesterday in Procreate.
I find it relaxing putting these leaves on with the Snowgum brushstroke.
Have a good day.
Time for a cuppa

According to current Driver Vehicle and Licensing Authority guidance, if you are diabetic living in the UK, drive a motor vehicle and you use a flash or continuous glucose monitor to check your glucose levels, then you must whilst driving also carry blood test strips and be able to doublecheck a flash glucose or continuous glucose reading of 4 or less and act accordingly if the blood test strip reading cconfirms blood glucose of 4 or less.Why are you using strip testers as well as the freestyle... I thought the Freestyle gives that information?
I have ordered a Freestyle Libre3 and was hoping that that would replace the strips??
Oh Wow!According to current Driver Vehicle and Licensing Authority guidance, if you are diabetic living in the UK, drive a motor vehicle and you use a flash or continuous glucose monitor to check your glucose levels, then you must whilst driving also carry blood test strips and be able to doublecheck a flash glucose or continuous glucose reading of 4 or less and act accordingly if the blood test strip reading cconfirms blood glucose of 4 or less.
Failure to do so could result in the DVLA rescinding one's driver's licence.
So blood test strips are required if you drive in the UK.
Interesting that your levels are so low.. What kind of diet are you following?This morning
Libre 2.9
Tee2+ 3.2
And that is why in the mornings I tend to do both Libre and finger prick some times belt and braces is best.
I do get hypo once in a blue moon.
I often get higher figures after sleep, but they go down as the day. progresses. It would be interesting to see your figures before lunch and before dinner. Are you intermittent fasting?FBG Fingerprick 10.2 Libre 10.1 Blurgh!

Thank you for the art compliment @dunelmAnother smashing piece of autumnel art and yes, I can see the therapeutic value of placing individual leaves. I don’t use rapeseed oil so can’t really say. Coconut, peanut and rice oils for frying. Olive oil for other things.
This is amazing @dunelmGood morning everyone from another damp start here in the dark and dangerous north. Yesterday’s plans did not go as planned even with a jolly 5.4 on meter of lies and deceit. Anyhow we did get down the coast road a bit and ended up wandering around Whitby now that the goths have been put back in their boxes for another year. According to posters, the next bit thing is a Steam Punk event in the spring. Good grief, whatever happened to those old skills demonstration days like flencing a whale, rendering blubber and burning alum. It’s that Bram Stoker who messed it all up. GP appointment is still on the card for late morning so hope I can play at “hunt the ECG stickers”. Art bit - colour added. Have the best day that you can, if you can, a big bag full of time is still just a pipe dream. Koffy, oh yes, there it is.

Yes, indeed. I’m concerned too.Interesting that your levels are so low..
I am not sure that some of these solutions to net zero, like electric cars and kilowatts of cheap electricity are not achievable. Perhaps we should all not expect so much.Afternoon, good afternoon one or 6 of me, me’s and myself hope.
Blood sugars this morning were 5.5.
For once I didn’t oversleep, but got stuck into doing stuff, then hey presto it’s afternoon and time for lunch. Lots going on here in Tilehurst Towers and full supervision is the order of the day.
Well fellow posters and painters stay safe, hugs where required and remember to look left, right and keep looking as you attempt to cross the road, these new electric cars, scooters, bicycles are cop27 friendly but lethal to pedestrians.
