6.5 when I woke but 5 minutes later before I had my Greek yogurt with glutton free granola it was 5.5. I suppose I have to stick with 6.5! Didnt sleep well. Woke up to lots of shouting. Sirens. 3 police cars outside on my street! Torches. Looking for a knife. They cuffed someone. Goodness only knows what was happening. Struggled to get back off. Wondered if I would wake up intact!
Lots to do to help my BIL today so its a high and bye to all you good people.
While looking at fruit infusions (for flavouring water) in the tea area in Sainsbury this morning a man asked what it was and then said how silly you could just chop up fruit. I said I couldnt because I am diabetic and these were zero carbs. He laughed and said he was too but he didnt buy into all the scaremongering. He taunted me about my silly attitude and I said I didnt want to get any complications. End of convo for me. His parting shot was he had a heart attack last Christmas Day but that was because he ate too much! I wont be admiting I am D to a stranger in a hurry again.

Best not to tell...we dont want bus loads of tourists!!Pray tell, what is this Sainsbury of which you speak? The natives sound such intriguing creatures.
Just what I want on my headstone...in the distant future!Viva La Penguinmum..
Probably but I hope he gets lucky. If not I wonder who he will blame!He’ll still be saying ‘I don’t believe all that rubbish’ as they wheel him off to A and E.
Very apt! Closed minds are dangerous mostly to themselves I think. But hey what do I know!Do what you do; horse, trough, drink, no drink - will not impede in any way on just doing what you do.
Hoping it settles DJC if not it will be an interesting trip to Birmingham...I have perked up a little I have just managed to reset my email on my iPhone...being technologically incompetent for most of my adult life I feel like I've just split the atom.
If you look on any supermarket web site it will list the carbs in their foodstuffs...just had a look (feeling brave after my iPhone success ) it is 0.5 per 100 mls.
Good to see you back on here (twice) young lady. The video embedded in that article was not very optimistic regarding exercise - you can't out run a wrongly constructed diet seemed to be the message. Hats off to anyone who can eat and drink what he recommends for breakfast.
I am sorry this has happened to you on hols but you sound very positive and I hope it wont be too restrictive and great news you aren't in pain. Where are you and is it good otherwise? Best wishes.Well, x-ray results in, I’m gonna be off my feet for this holiday, chipped a bone in my foot. Good job I’m a part-time wheelie anyway on a holiday for people with disabilities. Even with the injury I’m one of the more abled, and with my conditions I don’t feel any pain from my feet. I guess in the scheme of things I got off lightly.
I KNEW without looking that 'Funny' was YOU.
You so 'Get me'..hahaha.
I really do
If i saw a 4 I would think something was wrong..5s and 6s I feel good. Hba1c normal. Eat well. Happy days.I'd agree fully with @trick60
I'm beginning to think that though there are the highs we all dread, we also have a natural background level that perhaps like blood pressure, has a level where it can cause issues, and a level it's happy running at..and I'd guess s level below that might be achievable, but probably not wise in the long run.
Either way, for me, like @trick60..I think I have a happy limit of around the low 5's to low 6's depending if I've eaten late, had enough sleep, etc... So I've stopped stressing about getting into the 4's.
I passed on the cake .....but succumbed to pizza!!!!!!Sod that Debs...have the coffee and a sliver of cake...don't torture yourself or me...I'd like a full account of each and every crumb so at leastI'll get some carb satisfaction albeit vicariously
Sounds grand and and I so hope you have great time. I always think its great to have a change of scene. Best wishes.@PenguinMum , tbh I don’t think it will make much difference being in a wheelchair full-ish time for this holiday. I don’t have a cast or anything and I can still walk on it ok, as my brain can’t tell me it hurts. I’m at a place called Revitalise Netley Waterside House, it’s near Southampton. The Revitalise charity has 3 locations for holidays in the England, one in Liverpool, one in London, and the one I’m at in Southampton.
