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

Good Morening Ladies And Gentlemen, in the interests sanity this posting will be a Royal free zone.

Bloods yesterday were 6.8 and this morning were 4.7 oh hum.

Did you you start your day full of plans? Me, me’s and myself did and then fell soundly asleep again hence now running plan and scheme less. Never mind, I expect the koffy will get a big hit today.

Now I must depart to the medication store, then sit quietly for 20 minutes or so take my blood pressure for the GP’s to ignore, then do my leg exercises to improve my mobility or so the physio says. After all that it will be time for my mid morning nap, whoops I also would like to fit 60 minutes plinky plonky in.

Stay safe, stay dry and if possible avoid the media social or otherwise. Oh forgot stay well.
 
Isn't it ghost written according to some USA pattern to sell in large numbers?
 
This latest boast has really got my goat (about as much venting of spleen that I can speak about on this platform) - he broke the code, it’s a massive insult and all for a bag of silver pieces.
 
Wonderful, lovely colours.
 
I agree in some way with MrSlim’s thoughts on this - he probably does need some serious help and all this raging in public is doing him no good.
 
Good morning everyone on a very blustery and wet day here in the dark and dangerous north. Had a wonderful voice mail message from my sister yesterday. She was taken back into hospital on Tuesday and heavily sedated but is now on an upward climb thanks to the excellent staff in the palliative ward. Now bragging about massages and another brain scan (so that’s one character in The Wizard Of Oz eliminated). I have no idea what we are doing today - probably testing the waterproof qualities of coats and boots. Art bit - finishing off the detailing. Have a great day if you can. I shall finish my koffy and contemplate cleaning out the wood burner.

This is another possibility.
I wondered if it started life as a therapy, but was hijacked by others who see profit in it.

Yes - that's the thought I had. I do think he is a troubled individual who could easily be swayed by self-seekers. Possibly that stems from his childhood and exaccerbated by his time in the British army, but he should have been better advised by someone - surely he has some real friends. Bad advice has led to him hanging himself out to dry.

FBG 10.4 at 3 am rising to 14.8 by 7 am. Took a correction dose and got it down to 11.5 before breakfast.
 
Hi all,
I start a very low food intake regime from this evening till Monday lunchtime.
No solids just clear liquids, I am taking a special drink to empty my bowel tomorrow, then a CT scan on my Colon on Monday am at Carlisle hospital. Oh I can have some ice cream for breakfast tomorrow.

Apparently I am not up to a colonoscopy so it has to be this way instead.
Oh they are pumping me full of CO2 so I shall be combating climate change in very small way unless jet propulsion sends me to the ceiling like a balloon with escaping air.

It will be interesting to see what's going on.
D.

Thanks @jjraak

He is, isn't he!

Thank you!
 
Thank you very much @Annb

Harry is a grown lad. He should know there are some things you don't do and don't say. Or else there are consequences.

I am glad your sister is receiving excellent care @dunelm
 
Turned out to be a beautiful day in Cumbria, sun shining out of blue skies that were not forecast.

He thinks he is a grown lad - much like my eldest grandson - but as with my eldest grandson, A hae ma doots! Eldest grandson is, in fact, my step-grandson, born into a dangerously violent marriage and with a very troubled childhood. Not the same as H, but who knows what damage life has done to him? Spoiled brat, maybe, but his surroundings and his lifestyle may have done quite a lot of damage. Some young people don't grow into mature adults, their emotional and spiritual growth is stunted. Oddly, seemingly like H, my grandson is absolutely besotted with his wife!
 
Hello from not quite The Brecks and not quite The Fens where it is thoroughly dreary me dearies. The air temperature is fine for the season but it feels much colder. @lindisfel hug for the regime this weekend and I pray everything goes well on Monday. @gennepher thank you for sharing the creative. The sky captures the variety of colours often seen at dawn/early morning perfectly so don't be so hard on yourself.. @dunelm good news on your sister being on an upward curve and thank you for the latest development of the reassuringly solid structure. Earlier, we saw some wonderfully graceful, sleek horses and enjoyed the on again free coffee in a well known grocers. Small Epiphanies. Currently watching Spurs and seeing what the dogs make of their first bones - beef ribs. Hopefully your day will please or even delight you but some days are diamonds, some days are stone. Pretending otherwise helps no one.

Good luck for the scan and a hug for having to take that awful drink. Had it a few times myself and it does a very good job but it's horrid. The CO2 can be a bit embarrassing, but the staff are used to it so no need for embarrassment.
 
Sorry your sister had to be taken back into the hospital but glad to hear that she's a bit improved. Hug for her, and for you and yours - you must all be feeling it as well.

What a very unusual bridge. I can see the canal now. Very complicated shape to draw. The finished article is really going to be something!
 
All the very best with that. Good job it’s CO2 and not helium as you would have resonated at a higher pitch.
