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

I am not a fan (sorry) of wagging chins!
 
Of course you are worried, but try to stay calm. You have had some good advice. Progressive deterioration is usually slow. Cognitive impairment is relative. My father went to the doctor saying he was losing his mind. Doctor asked why did he think that?
Dad: " I can't do logarithms in my head anymore."
Dr: laughs " most people can't either '
Dad was in his fifties. He did start having some difficulties early in his eighties.
Just do the best you can. Nobody can do more.
 
My heart sank reading this post. Garbage though the letterbox. That's bullying, victimisation.. awful. Your explanation helped for a moment, then I am outraged all over again at the behaviour of some politicians. How do they get away with it?
 
Thanks @SlimLizzy
You are right, I often ask myself if I'm going mad or losing it?
then again, I know I have!

Honestly, with mental issues myself, and being there for Mrs L, will gradually wear me down.
And I have asked my family to take some of the weight off me.
However, as always, I'm the only one that really answers her, cos I'm the one Mrs L asks.
And won't ask anyone else at all
The latest questions are from Mrs L 's dreams, and usually have nothing to do with the present, and even after explanations or avoidance, or a yes dear! It is niggling away.
I will admit, that I sometimes need a break from it all. But as usual, how can I ?
Any free time is in the garden or in the kitchen or a small amount of time on here.
Shopping I avoid, but no choice, everyday for fresh stuff or cleaning stuff etc.
A quick walk on the grass behind, while Mrs L has a nap.
We have a saying.....
Yeah, that is my name.....
Don't wear it out!
I'm not built for it all.
I'm sorry to admit it, but I'm being truthful.
I try and it's not depression doing this.
Its my life.
 
Slugs and snails have been terrible this year. Shifting to watering early in the morning has helped a little. Good luck in the fight against the evening hordes.

Ravening hordes.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs
 
Afraid I'm way behind with posting. Thank you for sharing another enchanting creative @gennepher.

So their wheelie bins and recycle materials were not collected until 9pm?
Good grief. Must lead impoverished lives



Frtday's FBG, 4.5 mmol on waking at 6.00 am.
 
Congratulations and happy 7th anniversary - excellent.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs, take care.
 
Good morning everyone from the blistering heat of the morning here in the desolation of Smaug. Get ready for a hose pipe ban. Ankles will already be discussing the exact time to swell up and I thought that they had enjoyed stomping round in the relative shade of an arboretum yesterday contributing to the taking of photos of potential subjects for future ink sketches. Some trees had been queuing for quite a while for a photo opportunity - especially the redwoods. Art bit, some more added. This will take some time but it calms the mind until my fingers begin to complain. Always some body part whining and moaning about something. Just keep quiet if you have nothing positive to contribute, the rest of the parts are still enjoying dancing round the Maypole. I think it may be Saturday but whatever it may be, have a splendid day. I am going to source some koffy - and then some shade.

7.0 at 05.20 today. Slept later than usual again today.

Cold, wet and windy again. We did have one day of summer a few weeks ago when the temperature rose to about 20C but that was it. Midsummer has been and gone now but maybe we can expect some improvement. It does happen from time to time that we get some heat around September.

We actually do have some roses flowering at last and some catkins on the dwarf willow by the front gate. Those are usually enjoyed by bumble bees, but I haven't seen any of those yet either. There are also some flowers on the veronicas and a few on the fuchsia, so it's brightened up a bit out there. The foxgloves have been blown apart though and those roses are looking rather battered.

I'm glad we have our heating working.
