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

Vaccination went well yesterday. It is apparently a new one and I need a second dose in 6 months to give me lifetime immunity.

I have a new client who had shingles last year and her foot was paralysed for quite a long time afterwards. She still has nerve pain in her legs. So definitely a good thing to have the shingles vaccine.
 
That’s not good. Some re-training required somewhere.
 
I was offered the shingles vaccine a couple of years ago. I had always believed that if you had never had chickenpox, you couldn't develop shingles, nevertheless, I accepted the vaccination - just in case. A few months later, I did develop shingles. It was not a very serious dose of it though - painful while it lasted but very limited in extent and only lasted about 10 days. I still don't understand how I could get shingles without ever having chickenpox. Glad I took the vaccination though.
 
7.9 at 04.15 today.

Put on a new Libre this morning - 2nd one I tried. The first one fell apart before I got it to my arm. One in 5 or 6 does seem to fail for one reason or another. It's one of the disadvantages of Libres. The other one is that both my arms are pretty painful as a result of using them. On the other hand, they have allowed me to get my BG under better control.
 
Bore da! @JohnEGreen

Same here in London and, if you happen to find a space, you're charged an arm and a leg for the privilege of parking.

We campaigned for regular bus services that deliver you to the hospital's main entrance and everybody I know, including our GP, uses the buses. Occasionally, we've offered lifts to incapacitated neighbours.and they have reciprocated, but planning these ad hoc arrangements is not easy with so many procedures subject to cancellation at short notice,

Thursday's FBG 4.6 mmol on waking at 6.00 am
 
We worked it out that a taxi, is just as beneficial, and without the hassle.
Mind you we are only a few miles away from our main one and only a 10-15 minute walk from the local hub hospital.
Don't you have a blue badge?
 
Halloween?

Wishy washi, Fishi dishi rishi.
he has had to admit, he can't afford to buy his way back to number 10.
But he has a plan!
how much more damage can he do?
 
5.9 this morning. Only a slight soreness in my arm which has almost worn off.

Before admInistering the vaccine the nurse listed a long list of possible side effects such as:
High temperature, stomach upset, muscle and joint soreness, fatigue etc. etc.

Luckily none of those occurred.

Admin all done for today. Relaxing and reading before classes and of course - drinking coffee.
 
6.6 today. Day of new meds for Mrs L. Which went quite well surprisingly.
a day of rest, ish, after necessary chores.

Should have added that because our main hospital is close to the middle of the peninsula, the bus service is quite decent, however one of the other out patient building is not really good as part of the bus service and many complain that you need two buses to get there. As it's on the edge of civilisation even though a motorway is close by, the cost of a taxi is ridiculous.
Parking fees are dear.
And staff have to pay, which is absolutely disgraceful!
 
Arternoon arter lunch/dockey/snap/nosebag event or any other regional variation. @gennepher thank you for sharing another splendid creative. You spoil us Ma'am. @dunelm thank you for sharing the latest art. @JohnEGreen hug for the car parking debacle. @Krystyna23040 good news on the shingles jab. @Lamont D I fear you are over optimistic in expecting the trough to be removed. Like many traders/spivs/ barrow boys with plummy accents they are merely regrouping - a longer term version of this

Meanwhile, would it, could it., should it be coming home? Or perhaps the US Open is your thing? Are you orf to SW19? Do remember to send that blazer to the dry cleaners in preparation for Henners. Take care y'all.

Do you have to have two shingles jab as was told by the practice nurse there is only record of me having one jab.

Yes I have a blue badge, but it doesn't mean there's going to be a space at the hospital in the blue badge bays. I'm afraid that the hospital I will be attending next week is a long way and is a minimum of £140 for a return trip taxi.

Thank you @ianpspurs
 
Good afternoon everyone and happy bin day - attempting to catch up but the clock is ticking. 2 x temp fillings yesterday and bank loan taken out for the big day at the beginning of July for some seriously costly drilling and pot hole filling. Hope they do the overbanding this time round. Art bit - a tree!
