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

6.6 on this successful sunny soccer something day.
That sums it up.
Have had a very quiet day today.
Mrs L had a lie in her pit this morning.
which gave me the freedom to do what needed to be done, before midday.
When Mrs L 's brother came round, my son came round and a number of grandkids as well.



If you weren't aware my great grandad, on my mother's side, who lived through the Victorian era, was a rapper!
He was known as Will I Am. Certain.
His real name was Mr B Shaw.
This is so true.
My grandad had Bill as a middle name, as I do, and two of my grandkids.
My grandad was T B Shaw.

Hoping to get out now the temperature has risen, with Mrs L, a day trip maybe. We will see.

Have a nice weekend, have got to get into the garden sometime soon.

My best wishes to you as always this weekend.
 

This is a nice painting!
 
7.7 at 05.25 today. Cup of tea and basal insulin and by 07.35 it was 9.2. I upped my insulin by one point because the reading in the mornings has been climbing so we'll see what effect that has over the coming days. The cause may, of course, be something quite different. Eggs boiling for breakfast right now so we'll see how eating goes today. I have some Mulligatawny soup which was going to be for breakfast but I'm seeing how I get on over the coming few days with no vegetables at all, so the soup will go into the freezer for now. After my blood test (which should be on Thursday but who knows when I'll get the results?), I'll see what my next step is.
 
Fbg 6.7

A very busy night - foxes & badgers & cats

Creative...a squiggle pen drawing (from my car while having a cuppa between shops) of this lady...

Mr Magpie is stealing Jade's wet cat food breakfast. I would say he has fathered some babies, and Mrs Magpie is sending him out again and again...he is a very splendid magnificent Mr Magpie...ah, Jade has come for the same breakfast, but she has deferred to Mr Magpie....she'll be fine, she had fresh meat in the night... a mouse...the nest is in my garden and they breed prolifically enough to feed Jade...


Time for a nap...a cuppa first.

By the way I thought I had a cold clammy frog in my bed last night...it was Midnight's soggy chicken. He had lost his soggy rat, and now has a dishevelled soggy chicken. Actually I think it is a rooster. He loves this soggy fur fabric ratbag of a chicken/rooster...

Have a great day...

A nap and a cuppa are needed before I start my day...actually I am waiting for the daylight to get brighter before I emerge from my lair...

Good morning everyone on another splendid start here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.4 this am. Cold yesterday so multi layers and down to the lower prom for koffy. Mrs Miggins had a bacon sandwich. By the time we were ready to return home and climbing the steps back to the upper prom, “The sun was shining on the sea, Shining with all his might: He did his very best to make the billows smooth and bright” - and caused the peeling of several layers. Good job we carry those little foldable bags. Mrs Miggins is out for afternoon tea today with daughter - a late to use Mother’s Day gift. Art bit - wet on wet splodges - make something out of it. Hope your day is worthy of your presence. I best make some koffy.


 
I like this dark grey silhouetted trees, and green @dunelm

It is still cold enough for winter.... although the greenery is growing very fast in my garden....
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and those joggers raising money charities.

Blood sugars this morning were 7.3, this was a home cooked beef madras inspired and to follow a slice ov pineapple upside down drowning in custard.

I’ve had a few medical issues going on for the last few weeks and last nights meal was a reaction, surprisingly me, me’s myself feel no remorse. There I’ve written it and I will not hang my head in shame. Feel free to rant away hehehe

I shall be unsupervised four, fore or for most ov the day working on the child’s outdoor play kitchen and really looking forward to it.

Stay safe all, remember those who can, do, those who understand, teach and those who comment, work in the media.

Bye bye, koffy is calling. Loudly
 
Morning all from a cold L.A. @Krystyna23040 good idea to wear the warmest coat, enjoy Blickling Hall. @gennepher thank you for sharing your creative which is amazingly detailed. It was clearly a windy night from the noise of the wind chimes. @dunelm thank you for sharing the art. Personally not sure how I feel about the grey (not that that matters) but I do like a good fence: good fences make good neighbours as Bobby F said. @alf_Josiah enjoy making the play kitchen. Sorry you have been having a few medical issues. No censure here over that meal because it is none of my/our business and anyhow I would almost certainly never have eaten either pre-DX. @Annb I hope the rest of the day's readings go well. Some amazing stories from London marathon runners. The man with terminal brain cancer obviously struck home. Don't work too hard to enjoy the day

Good morning!
Happy Sunday morning 4.66
I love Sunny days.
Seems like the rainy season is over. Lots of lush greenery in the northern part of California.

There are a lot of diabetic cookbooks and they all define how many carbs you should eat. Cookbooks get me confused. My best cookbook is my meter and indeed my lifestyle. Have a nice day everyone!
 
As long as is isn’t real soggy rats and roosters . Another smashing sketch.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs.Yes, everyone should endeavour to have a good fence.
 
Yep! The meter readings are a great determinant for food choices.
 
Thank you very much, Ian....
