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

Not as claustrophobic as the last one!
Enjoy your trip to Ripon @dunelm
 
I am so sorry that the medical procedure didn't go well. Are they going to monitor you and try to rectify what they caused.
 
Sorry to read that you are in pain after the procedure. Hoping that you will recover enough to be able to enjoy your daughters visit.
 
Fbg 10.6
That higher number is caused by stress.

Have your best day.

I need a nap.

 
95 mg/dL. I've finally found graham crackers diabetes because I can't imagine my life without crackers. Such a person I am. Do you guys have favorite diabetes snacks? Just curious.
Welcome, sorry can’t help you about diabetic snacks.
 
So sorry to hear that the medical procedure went wrong. Bad enough to have to have it without medics messing it up! Hope you recover soon from the pain and that the after effects won't be too bad. I'm sure your daughter's visit will give you a lift but hope you feel able to enjoy it.

Brilliant fern kaleidoscope. I love ferns.
 
Happy national bin day, me, me’s and myself have an appointment in another reality and time, so must away be, ( think Yoda ).

Blood sugars this morning were a tasty 5.3, much betterer than the 4’s I’ve been getting recently.

Stay safe now, up, up and away.
 
FBG 10.5. That was at 2.30 am. I knew I would be up early because I was so shattered last night that I went to bed just after 11. Took some pain killers and had a cup of tea and sat in gthe big chair deliberately to go to sleep again. It worked. BG when I woke up at about 6.30 was 11.4.

Today has to be an easy day to recover from yesterday's exertions. When I got to see the nurse yesterday she told me she had instructions to get some blood from me as well. Wished her best luck. She tried ... and failed. So she just bandaged my legs and said she'd organise another appointment for a blood test. Next week's calendar is getting pretty crowded.
 
Thank you very much @Annb
I am trying to get myself in a better frame of mind...
I love ferns too...
 
I hate Calendars getting crowded @Annb
Try your best to recover...

My absolute favourite snack is Montazumas 100% chocolate. I think it is an acquired taste as lots of people hate it. My other favourite snack is extra mature cheddar. I also really like peanut butter or almond butter but rarely allow them in the house because I just can't stop eating them.
 
6.8 this morning. We have postponed the dog walk until the afternoon because of the rain.

Our Aldi re-opened this morning after a major refit. It no longer looks like a discount store but was full of confused shoppers as everything was completely moved around.
 
Morning all from a wet L.A. possibly the first measurable rain of June. No overnight thunder but a good decision to run the lawnmower over the dustbowl (no mice but some men called Jode mooching about) yesterday.. @LeslyFleming as a snack I now take a spoon - so far not tbls but moving through the gears - to a kg tub of peanut butter. and or eat a Fattbar cookie or sometimes top said cookie with PB. Bulk powders PB currently. (actually, often 30-40 gms for breakfast around 11.00 am) @dunelm busy day and so many changes/upgrades/downsizes no wonder Mrs Bridges/Carson and co are crosswaffled. Castle is looking Dope Hug for needing thos painkillers. @Annb easy like a Sunday morning today - no dancing on the ceiling. Let's hope next week is useful as well as busy. @gennepher I hope that kaleidoscope is a vehicle for tranquillity for you as well as a thing of beauty for me - thank you. @Krystyna23040 is that Aldi anywhere near Aldiss Park home of the Magpies? Hoping for three days of heavy rain over the NW8 area after Red for Ruth Day - t-shirt on.


Y'all have whatever kind of day affords itself but do everything with love and care - including for yourself.

Thank you @ianpspurs
 
Main story here is a disgrace. #2 son worked for a charity which sent this to countries where there was a crisis. Surely we aren't now needing to provide this in our schools whilst all the deplorables witter on about obesity and T2?. Blame the individual, especially the poor, rather than admit the structural problem - a low wage economy. Distraction tactics 101. There are those who would argue that was the whole point of you know what.
