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

Fingers crossed that the snow waits until you all have had an amazing week and they have gone home @lindisfel
 
The vicissitudes of being an old age poster who uses a bunch of bananas on a mobile phone keyboard. He has the bad habit of having to use edit for rewriting drafts and not post them straight away. Do not use the forum as a draft refining tool. If your battery goes down low you lose it all when your kit drops off as in a mains loss.
I am suitably admonished
 
Had a family discussion the family would never support a nasty party and labour would have their vote every time, so when I said I am not sure next time she wasn't happy, you will let the others in. Far from true I am not given a multiple vote.
I like most of labour policies but they support strikes and are funded by unions. Why are doctors striking? It is diametrically against their oath to help humanity.
I know a lot of older doctors have never been on strike and never would. A similar argument applies to teachers.

We all understand the software on the phone/iPad when we are writing our posts, which has recently got so clever in correcting what it perceives as our mistakes, but we made no mistakes initially in our writing (maybe apart from the odd typo), and I find, as I try to correct what the software has changed what I have written to, as I try to correct it, the software is changing my sentence/paragraph before I have finished correcting the software's fairy story corrections to something totally different. And I then have not got a clue what I wrote initially...

And I have to delete my whole post and try again.

I spend more time correcting the software's alterations to my post than I do initially writing it....

So, in my eyes, no apologies are needed @lindisfel

For anyone who gets a rise in BG from exercise (some of our bodies don't read the script) yesterday I walked for an hour with some testing gradients. Measured BG on return (after 20 hours fasting, which is usual for me) 7.2!!!! An hour later 6.1. Would probably have gone down further but I was hungry so had something to eat. Normally I'm in the 5s. So don't despair if exercise raises your BG as you are not alone!
 
Bit of a faff but all moving along - thanks for the heads up about the NHS app.
 
There will always be a stash of glucose and if not your body will make it. Glucose raising hormones like glucagon and adrenaline will pump out blood glucose to match whatever your muscles need so probably your body is just doing what it’s supposed do do. Just a thought.
 
Hope they have a great time of it and no tractor aid. I applaud you use of a mobile phone keyboard, banana fingers or nay. Perhaps you are royalty? I avoid them and use a proper keyboard attached to my IPad as my own fingers have a habit of seizing up without warning .
 
Good morning everyone from another day in paradise here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.4 this morning. Interesting how readings flip up and down if you have to get up during the night. If you are quiet, liver might slumber on but if you are in a mad rush to get somewhere and lights are switched on then maybe not. Anyhow, art bit. Another exercise similar to yesterday. Two colours. Hope your day is kind. I have drunk my koffy and may just make another.

I sometimes feel like that when class members tell me about their exotic holidays. But actually I really do love my mundane life.

Thank goodness I read my reply before pressing the post reply button because predictive text decided to spice up my post by substituting another word for exotic.
 
Brilliant! I love this. I am a fan of using a limited colour palette @dunelm
