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

Daughter rang this morning to say how much they enjoyed the visit and that we must book.another date in the diary for them to come up to us so that we don't leave it so long. I think that another trip to the farm is on the cards.
 
You would have to be pretty fit to cycle at 28 mph!!!!
It looks, and as far as I remember that riverbank is a pretty flat route.
I know it is silly, but I love those sad/happy face signs, and them giving me a happy face and that I am just under the speed limit, unless someone is overtaking me...
 
Good morning @ianpspurs
I am still in the 7's thank you...
Enjoy your day.
 
Your brother should have had a folding stick that fits into his wife's handbag/holdall and then he could have used it out of sight of the ship. Some fold up quite small. I have one in my Walker when I am using that. Maybe suggest it to him for a different occasion @Annb

Glad you had a great time.
 
Lovely fringe cups - you could pot it up and corner the market with it.
 
Good morning everyone from a lovely quiet start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. Stab of jollity came in at 5.2 this am. VE Day came and went yesterday. Mrs Miggins is already up and out - several important messages to contend with. I shall walk into town to catch a train later and meet up with her for lunch. First though, flags down and away. We seem to have lost one to The Queen Of The World when her parents picked her up on Sunday. Art bit, getting there. Hope your day is kind to you. I need a later than usual koffy before I do anything else.


 
Have a great day out @dunelm
Nice perspective in the Art bit...
 
@Annb lovely story about the meet and greet for your brother and SIL. Glad they made it and you had a good time. @gennepher thanks for the creative, good news on the fbg gradually returning to normal. I believe the modern idiom is side hustle. @dunelm thanks for sharing the art. @Krystyna23040 I'm glad the weekend went so well and you simply must post a photo of that tat.

Indeed

Not sure when you last visited.
Once upon a time you could only walk bits, now it's pretty cool,
It's open for miles on the north side
Richmond/Barnes/Putney/Wandsworth/Battersea & beyond.

Tho sadly I did read there's plans afoot to ban bicycles from the Riverside walk between Putney & Battersea...so enjoying it while I still can.

When I was captured by camera it was on the flat on Wandsworth bridge road, so unlikely I was hitting 28 mph...

The 25 on my app is most probably when I was crossing Wandsworth bridge itself and rolling down the other side

I suspect it's the smaller profile of a bicycle, the smiley cam is just not geared for...but I doubt a scooter is really much bigger ..mmmhh.

and yeah, they make me think & smile when I get the smiley face, tattoo...

2008 I last visited....

I will probably be most unlikely to be able to travel that far again.
 
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and all those who had a busy Morening .

Blood sugars were 4.6 this morning, calculations made, ignored and redone factoring in the gravitational pull of Pluto. Insulin dose finally derived. This diabetes malarkey is interesting if you like pulling your hair out.

Well fellow posters what a weekend that was. Good or bad, interesting or not it’s your call, then their was that music festival on the Sunday with all those drones, no not the commentary, the light show the drones provided, but perhaps the most impressive thing was the engineering of Katy Perry bodice, how her anatomy stayed confined was a marvel.
Ian Hislop summed the whole weekend up with todays headline in Private Eye “”Man wearing hat, sits on chair “”
 
Sat outside this pm, a glorious day.
Put the house phone extension in my overshirt unfortunately when I came in it dropped out my overshirt and was sent plop into the toilet.
I pulled it out like greased lightning and dried it off with kitchen roll, took batteries out dried them off and dried the compartment off ok. Seems to be charging ok now....we will see.
 
Dietician appointment went better than I expected. She seems to have learned a bit about diabetes since I last saw her and was keen to tell me all the stuff I already knew. But she was obviously so pleased with herself that I just let her rattle on. She also recommended the Diabetes UK website. One good thing that came out of it was that she is arranging for my HBa1c to be checked - which the diabetes clinic hasn't done and should have. Another thing was I did learn something. That is that the 2 litres of fluids I have been forcing myself to have for years now isn't enough for somebody my weight. It should be more than 3 litres. Not sure how I'll manage that. In fact, nobody has ever told me how much I should be drinking; I just saw a notice on the back of the toilet door when I was in hospital due to dehydration. It said that the average person should be drinking 2 litres a day to protect their kidneys. So that's what I did. Pity nobody thought it worth mentioning, especially since I was having issues with my kidneys at the time. However, better late than never. I've been told now.

BG had started dropping from the 7's to the 5's by the time I got home and was 5.2 half an hour ago when I decided to have my 2nd meal (cauliflower cheese and roasted cherry tomatoes). We'll see what happens now, but I'll be keeping my eye on it, just in case it decides to drop again.
 
Oh dear, another dietician hanging onto that water drinking myth that probably stems from a decree from the U.S. Food and Nutrition Board issued back in the 1940s. It suggested that everyone drink 2.5 liters (84.5 ounces) per day — so not far off from today's standard. But even back then, that same recommendation clarified that a majority of that water comes, not from a glass, but from "prepared foods." It’s pretty arbitrary but anyhow, This article offers a plain explanation.
