Very good advice @gennepherHi @Annb
Hugs
Always make sure your phone is on you, so that you can least call one of your family members to come and help sooner rather than wait all day until your son comes home.
I agree @JohnEGreen . It's really hard not to despair when it was completely avoidable. It is really sad.8.2 this morning.
Had a bit of a dispiriting two weeks on a ward packed with Diabetics minus various body parts.
And had one guy in his forties telling e he didn’t believe in all that carb counting rubbish didn’t know what bolus was had lost most of the toes on his left foot had a gangrene infection of his right foot accepted all this as inevitable and had a locker full of chocolate biscuits and sweets and his best hope was that he would only loose his right foot not the leg what do you say to that person I kept y thoughts to my self.
He had been Type 1 since he was 10 years old it’s hard not to despair when you know it was avoidable.
If I am drawing or painting @Lamont D when I am feeling frustrated, it will come out in the painting. But I couldn't sit down when I was calm and paint a frustrated painting, because it just would not happen...How do you paint or draw an emotion such as frustration?
Thank you so much @Krystyna23040@gennepher a lovely photo of you and J
Thank you for your lovely compliment @jjraakI'd say you captured that beautifully....

I mean for current BGs I on diagnosis was advised not to test advice I totally ignored from day one.By self-testing do you mean for HBa1c or for current BGs? Here we are expected to wait for a (supposedly) 6 month clinic appointment (which never happens these days) for HBa1c check but monitoring current levels is expected. Not so in other areas of Scotland where DIL's father was told NOT to check and not prescribed a monitor of any kind because he wouldn't understand it anyway and it wouldn't be helpful! "Just keep taking the Metformin". Different Health Boards, different approaches.
Well a day of two halves and thank goodness for kind passers by. Smashing tree scene. I like the open work on the trunk and the colours.Fbg 6.9
Sorry I am late...
I had to be out early to do food shopping, collecting meds, collecting parcel from the post office, and more. It was too much to do in one shopping etc outing but I hadn't been able to do my mid week shop, and the fridge was now bare.
But it was a hard morning. In one shop I struggled to get in with my walker, and the doors were winning. So a passer by helped me, whereas the shop employee inside who walked past me and the doors did not. The passer by was so disgusted with him she yelled at him. But he took no notice. So she had a rant about his disgusting behaviour.
Then at the pharmacy they said the medicine dispensing bot had broken down, and they did not know when it would be fixed, and so they cannot dispense any medicines at all.
I did try a few sketches from the car but I was seriously too tired by now. What tires me out is the physical act of getting myself in and out of the car, and getting my walker in and out each time. So, I was drop dead exhausted when I got home.
I unloaded the chilled goods straight into the fridge, the rest will have to wait, and went to bed and fell into a sound sleep...
When I woke up, I noted I had been asleep for 3 hours, but I was incredibly relaxed, and so I went into "no mind" relaxation/meditation, because I was already in that state having just woken up. I had no thoughts and no body. Total relaxation. My eyes were open, but I wasn't seeing anything. I always meditate with my eyes open...
Then I was aware of the light fading, and as I need to sort out trail cameras etc, so I checked the time. I had been 'no mind' meditating for nearly 2 hours. I have never done it for that length of time before...

Smashing. Definitely a collie and looking quite furtive.Fbg 6.8
Yesterday when I was out I did a few line sketches.
I was in the car when this collie got tied up. The owner went in the garage with a newspaper. So I figured I might get a couple of minutes.
Obviously I am not good at drawing dogs.
My hand was shakier than usual which did not help...
And I added a bit of colour...

As usual am well aware of what I should be doing, but rarely manage even half of it. Am having to retrain MrSlim as well! It doesn't help me at all if he has a (carb laden) snack at 10pm in front of me.Welcome to this corner of the forum. I suppose we all get to know what things work but as with most things in life - will we actually do them?
Oh bread and cheese - yes, so tempting. I buy sourdough from a local sourdough baker, slice and put in the freezer - it is supposed to reduce carb loading - will that work at 10pm though?As usual am well aware of what I should be doing, but rarely manage even half of it. Am having to retrain MrSlim as well! It doesn't help me at all if he has a (carb laden) snack at 10pm in front of me.
Am halfway there, he has stopped bringing me the same snack...but it's hard to watch him eating. for example: bread and cheese without wanting at least a morsel.
Happy birthday to the Ninky Nonks - shall you dress as Iggle Piggle? Hugs for all Gen Alpha who have basically been governed by the, mainly Oxford educatedGood morning everyone on a late start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. Paddy’s day so brace yourself for false claims of Irishness, especially those in the next clowns on zimmer frame race to the White House. Pleasant wander along the lower promenade yesterday. The Funicular is undergoing repairs after a fire earlier this year in the pump room so it’s all hands to the railing back up the 181 steps to the upper prom. Fitbit got very excited about the number of stairs I had done. Out today - meeting friends for lunch. A table booked a couple of weeks ago so hope that there is no surcharge for sitting out of the rain. Art bit - blockbuster video card smear, a pinch of salt and make something of it once dried. Hope your Sunday contains the roast. It’s Carling Sunday oop north so don’t spare the vinegar and white pepper but more importantly it’s the Ninky Nonks’ celebration of their 7th circumnavigation of the sun. Koffy though first.
