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

Your story brought tears to my eyes, Krystyna. It was so sad to read. I have included you, your sister and family in my prayers. Hope you don't mind. That was a very understanding employer.
 
Thanks Ian
That is very helpful.
Downloaded it.
Checking it out now.
 
All the way from China???
When I see the big wagon come into the front of the Polish shop I go in, and there will be eggs.
I don't know why price you pay for 15 eggs, but in the Polish shop it can be £8.95 for 15 eggs...
And yes I have bought them...

I agree, cheaper to add some extra B vits...
 
There are beautiful people out there.

Thank you @Annb . Yes, I would like very much for us to be included in your prayers.
He was a very understanding employer and a really nice person.
 
That's exorbitant. Tesco eggs are £3.40 a dozen. I would have to think twice about buying them at £8.95 for 15! That's a difference of just over 31p an egg or more than twice as much for the Polish ones.
 
Glad it was useful
I have entered my day's food. I won't be eating any more today. I usually finish eating early or mid afternoon and I can see I am sadly lacking in some of my B vitamins.
Vitamin B2 and B12 are more than enough for my daily needs with eating, just wholesome foods. So you can tell from those levels that I have had my eggs today...
I am sadly lacking in the rest of the vitamin B 's.

Quite a few other levels were just fine in my daily intake of normal food. But other levels were also sadly lacking. So I shall gather data for about a week and see what my levels are, or what they average out over a week. And maybe then reassess what I'm eating.

I shall see what tomorrow brings....

And, by the way, I prefer the layout of the webpage to the app, I find it easier to fill it in on my iPad mini on the web page.

If it is either eggs or no eggs, then I will as last resort buy them from the Polish shop. They have travelled from somewhere in Europe. Sometimes the Polish shop don't have eggs either...
It might be a week, a couple of weeks, or three weeks is the longest I was without eggs.
 
I look forward to finding out how you get on with the app. The databases it uses seem fine except for some anomalies. Mushrooms is the one I first noticed. First attached is M and S values; 2nd is cronometer. Even raw it gives 1.5%

Another bright and sunny day now with a sharp white frost outside until heat from the Spring sun melts it all but it's early now.
The Lakes to the South will be full of people so not a good place to go today. Yesterday pm sitting in the garden was peaceful enough for me and the duchess with the birds singing their hearts out all around.
D.
 
The Lakes where you are sounds perfect for a lazy peaceful afternoon in the Sun.
 
8.4 this morning. Good to see it starting to drop. Hopefully it will get back in the 6s quite quickly. Did 10g carbs and 12K steps yesterday which would have helped to start lowering the numbers.

Off to Sheringham Park shortly for a lovely walk.
 
Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny start here in the dark and dangerous north. The Ninky Nonks and Little Miss Pamplemouse are off to see their other grandmother today and will be picked up mid morning. But firstly, it’s farmers market so we will have a wander round there for a while and pick up some titbits - they want some Kimchi from the Korean stall (who knew that Korea was in Yorkshire?). Birthday party tonight for a niece. Art bit - some new squiggles. Have as pleasant day as you can. I have had my koffy so best get my shoes on ready for the off.


 
11.9 at 3 am today. Down to 10.4 a short time ago. This is not good and must be the result, I think, of reducing my basal insulin as suggested (more like demanded) by my diabetes nurse. So this morning, I put it back up to 56 units. We'll see what that does. Still having to take lots of pain killers just to stay upright now and again. It's beginning to become dangerous in these early mornings because, when I eventually manage to clamber out of my bed, I'm pretty shaky and likely to fall over. I've staggered a few times but managed to hang on to a wall or door frame. Neil came to see what all the groaning and grunting was about this morning (he was already up and in the kitchen) as I tried to get my slippers on my feet. One point of the Move More classes was to try to improve my balance but all it seems to have done is make my legs less reliable and reduce my flexibility. Still, as usual, maybe without the classes it would have been worse.
