Take care Ian.9.4 it’s single figures so I’m grateful for that
Have a good evening
I’m amazed at your butterfly count @gennepher , wonderful photos too.
Goodnight all.
6.0 this morning, have to get to the hospital for my check-up by 8.30 so, early it is. Have fun
Late on parade but did wake up, again, another wonderful day to appreciate.
The wonder wheel of stuck on LO and a free replacement hooted out a 5.7 this am.
@Fndwheelie - I called up Freestyle on their 0800 170 1177 number this morning and chose option 4 to speak to a human.
They asked questions about the sensor, the make and model of my phone (I don’t use the machine) - all available from within the app. They also asked about finger prick comparisons - they wanted three but I only had one.
A free replacement sensor is on it’s way.
Have a great day if you can, hugs for all, save them in a small bag if you don’t need one straight away.
PPG meeting this afternoon - best get my string vest ironed.
Aw thanks @Debandez
Yes, it was nice to be out.
The show was a little chaotic in it's organisation.
but nice once inside.
Mostly goans from what i could see, so felt very authentic.
We patrolled the food stalls.
Huge square with entertainment inside and stalls all around the edges.
lauren had.
Chicken lollipops
samosa
mackerel, ochre, rice, sauce
delicious she reported.
I'd eaten a tiny amount before just in case nothing suitable,
So not really hungry when we got there.
But i did have 1/4 chicken tikka, with chopped salad.
Pleasant..in fact very tasty just wish i had more of an appetite for it
we were out a couple of hours,
Lauren saw i was flagging so suggested it was home time ..(bless her)
so a nice day and good be out together.
Have a theory or two as to whats might be wrong.
1#
Ran out of meds, ordered when on last tablets thinking i'd pick up new lot next day or so
but lazily thought i'd pick them up a day or two later after all it's only metformin ..right
Order never went through, so i waited another day or so..about a week in total.
went to chemist to investigate..no meds..gave me emergency supply, so began taking them 2 days back.
2#
as we all know cutting back on the processed foods..we eat less salt..(good thing right )
2 weeks back heatwave, (it was at the end of that i began feeling rough) so i upped my water/fluids intake.
during that hot spell, but if i'm honest my salt intake either flatlined or dipped .
i rarely put salt on any food....
( yeah, i rationalise that while in foreign climates it's HOT as well..but i relax my foods and eat a lot more foods that are cooked FOR me (aka salt added), then i do here.)..So it MIGHT have been depleted salt in me, because of the heat
lauren suggested rehydration fluid and a pinch of salt on most things.
so both of those in effect, feeling a little better, not there yet, so...
It's either i may have started to sort the issue via 1# or 2#..or whatever it is was has passed.or is passing.
any of that make sense or ring any bells for anyone else
hopefully my woes, may helps someone further down the line.
Starting To feel like i should be in chipperfield circus with all the Juggling T2D seems to require..
Oh and a 6.0 like my mate @trick60
( caused either by that one late night beer OR
it's making ALL that B**** tea for lauren , that she''s read about on here,
..HE 'helpfully'...suggested...:***: )
have a good un all.
Pub?Hugs for the blah feeling
i reckon while we toil away , perhaps loving the work load and being busy etc
it does exact a hidden toll on us , particularly when T2D, and others when dx with ongoing illness.
No one likes changes, and if you've not been walking, maybe anew routine is what you need to start back up.
perhaps hop into town for a mooch leave car behind.
or maybe try something just to measure how well you do.
i mapped out a local route that gave me one kilometre
i figured if i could run it (ok some of it..all right a TINY Portion of it..HAPPY NOW)
i could map my couch to 5k runs easier...never lasted Obv, but you get the idea
but i do now walk the route just the once..now and again to keep the walking up.
(walking aimlessly just puts me off..in fact going anywhere aimlessly puts me off..i do feel the NEED
to have a Destination and a reason in mind OR a target time / distance, before i even head out)
Hope the day/s leave you feeling better real soon.
take care x
Awake stupid early....6.0 this morning, have to get to the hospital for my check-up by 8.30 so, early it is. Have fun
Thank you very much @PenguinMum@gennepher your photos are beautiful and you capture the delicacy of these lovely creatures. Never tire of seeing them, thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much @DJC3I’m amazed at your butterfly count @gennepher , wonderful photos too.
Goodnight all.
Maybe we could start a 'weekly food experiment' thread. Others may want to join in.well..IF we test in such a fashion, then just like we test to see if some foods are suitable aka eat then test at 2hr marker..that is the same principal, and we all use that as a measure,
so i can';t see it would be any different.
bear in mind all we are really looking at and for is the trend
Is the SCORE higher, the same, OR Lower, then it was last time.
While NOT definitive, it might just be something we could point to as well, and say THIS IS working for ME
it was my motivation when is started as was for many to reduce my HBA1c..
which thanks to all the marvelous help on here, i have done.
and the Regular Blood checks certainly work to motivate to continue the good works.
It's perhaps worthy of consideration .one morning a month MIGHT just return way more then we ask.?
5.2 for me this morning, doubt it’s due to anything other than too much wine yesterday.
@jjraak I think toasting Sunday is a great idea but tbh I’m terrified of eating a slice of bread. What bread are you going to use? I think a new thread might be a good idea for it.
@PenguinMum great fbg - Dublin, the walking and being in the presence of the black stuff have obviously agreed with you. Have a good trip back.
Even funnier now!!!The stewardesses were walking up and down the plane doing there count, then they would whisper together then do another passenger count, I remember saying to the wife “I think some idiots got on the wrong plane “, how right I was.
How about hi-lo (less than 5g) or no crust kingsmill (7.4).
So heres my question, always wanted to ask but felt a bit silly, but dont mind on our special thread. If I eat a slice of bread at less than 5g or I eat something else that has the equivalent amount of carbs and GI what's the difference? Why are we scared of enjoying bread (i do get a guilty feeling if i have one usually).
