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

Deranged old backwoods hermit just checking in with all you woke modernistas. @johnpol what a superbly well balanced and loving couple. @karen8967 gorgeous pictures and good fbg. @Debandez hope BIL finds good/helpful news today. Eclectic pair of anniversaries hove into view today. Mary Sumner passed away this day in 1921 and 3 years ago today we made our first home made almond milk. My fbg today was 6.1 but testing and bg levels right now is a little like painting the funnel on the sinking titanic - (not diabetes related). Chin, chin.
 

Good philosophical attitude to BG - you’re right it’ll settle so we just keep on keeping on.
As for Dennis, I think he is hoodwinking the jury by by his furry innocent looks. Don’t be fooled, under those bushy brows he is always plotting the next round of mischief. He’s asleep on my foot atm but I’m sure he’s dreaming up his next scheme for creating mayhem.
 

Poor guy. He’s lucky to have you there. Hug and flowers for you!
 

Almond milk - tried some propriety brands but couldn’t get on with it. Perhaps home made has a better, and perhaps controllable, taste.
Mary Sumner - another thing learned today.

6.2 this morning when I woke up, but promptly went back to sleep. Another day or 2 and I may be back to my old routine of actually staying awake all day.

Great numbers of late, @Fndwheelie

How goes the food now, carers getting used to prepping for low carb ?

However your doing it, the good scores keep on coming.
Marvellous stuff.
 
4.4

I had a day and night of hypos even though I’m reducing both bolus and basal

Ok everyone have a good day

Thanks! It’s not been too hard actually, I’ve switched to having a protein shake or protein yogurt for breakfast, and maybe a babybel or two.
Lunch is kinda what they provide but I buy bags of microwave veggies to add to it, if the meat is not suitable then I have sandwich slices of chicken and turkey to have with veggies. My tea is usually ham and cheese salad but starting to get a bit bored of it.
Cutting out the bread, potatoes, pasta etc was a lot easier than I expected it to be.
 
Good morning folks, 5.3 on the testing dice, decidedly chillier here in the mountains, certainly chillier than the drive through Death Valley yesterday where the temperature hit 46C in Stovepipe Wells. Stopped off at Area 51 yesterday, well it was a roadside cafe and petrol station, as I was tucking in to my bowl of chilli I saw a queue of guys waiting at a door to a pink building, “what are they queuing for” I asked the waitress, “ oh that’s the local cathouse” says she, “but they don’t have any cats” says I, she looked at me and laughed then went on to explain that cathouse was a term they use for brothel. Every days a school day.
