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

5.5
Happy with that especially after being on holiday for a few days, and eating 2 slices of pizza yesterday!!!

This however makes me real mad:

What a load of twaddle the article in the link is pedaling. If I had taken that advice then I would be as fat as the fattest fatty on fat road in fat town, be on drugs to control my diabetes and be worrying about my eyes and my feet.
This sort of thing should come with accountability penalties.
 

It was the sheer stupidity and illogicality of this line that disgusted me:

The amount of carbohydrates you eat will directly affect your blood glucose levels so it is important that you integrate it into your daily diet.

Thankfully after excavating the cables etc. from under the desk it was a power connection which had become unseated from it's socket
it's amazing (and a bit scary) how stressful being cut off from the internet feels to me now

That happened to me. I panicked and bought a new monitor from Amazon. When husband looked at it he found the plug had come out of the socket.

Still - it did come in useful when I bought a second computer for the office a few months later.
 

hahahaha just spotted that richard van dyke from mary poppins has been edited...

Ludicrous..
 

Sadly the family is scattered. No 1 daughter will come for her birthday in September, but her sister are far away, one in Australia, the other usually in Sweden, but from Saturday back in Namibia for a family holiday. Dad is in the uk.
 
4am wide awake
4:40am up, can't sleep.

can't check bloods
and not in work until this afternoon ..

AAAGHHH

So just posting to moan.

(but at least i'm 1st on the GRID in the PIN PRICKER GRAND PRIX...)

Have a god day, once it starts.... , ya all.
 
We’re an hour ahead of you so I’m next.
6.3 this morning after a happy 5.9 last night.
I was trying to tell me to move because I thought my (last) physio appointment was earlier, but now realise it’s after 12. So I can be lazy and take my time waking up.
Murphy’s law is that if I sleep well and relax, then my back complains more. Can’t win.
 
Not enough consistent WiFi connection to read so will catch up when I get home. (Please keep it brief as I am back to work on Monday!!!)
5.7 this morning but I am not surprised after the goings on last evening. I will say no more than hormonal moody catty transfer girls!!
On the plus side the sun finally appeared after 2 full days of rain!
I have avoided eating too many carbs so far but it isn't easy when the menu consists of pizza, smily stars, baked beans, sausage and mash sweetcorn and peas (not all at one meal) I have discovered that fasting is good!!
We are back to rain today which is rather unfortunate as a farm visit is on the programme and despite sending a list of clothes to bring at least 2 of the little darlings have come without a coat.
Take care
