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

Big drag about the foot appointment. Perhaps save that letter and text to take next time just in case they still don’t understand the word “administration”.
Nice readings though. Speculating that it was due to fasting (and therefore no carbs).
 
A wonderful sunny sun thing lighting up some almost wispy clouds greeted me this morning - and then I turned 108 degrees - possibility of getting some more use out of my coat and wellies later today.

The wonder wheel dithering about like an embarrassment and confusion of parliamentarians and a 5.2 was leaked to the web due, in part, to the proroguing of food intake by late afternoon.

The grandchildren are back today for a last, short visit. Mrs Miggins has caravan turn rounds tomorrow and then we will all be off to Birmingham to return them to their nests. Looking at my secondary brain I can see that next week includes several exciting highlights; diabetic eye clinic (oh joy), PPG meeting about our new Primary Care Network (caffeine at the ready) and then, joy of joys, helping to herd circa 1200 patients towards a phalanx of nurses armed with stabby things for annual flue jabs. I have been given this helpful training video as part of my continuing professional development.

Have a great day if you can, slight possibility of warming your fur if the sun does it’s stuff.

Morening and a hurried one today, the grandchildren are attending for a sleepover and Mrs J is flapping around and has full nag mode engaged so it's head down and run like the wind.
Oh and a 6.8 this morning.

Good luck folks, avoid Mrs J if you can..
 

Brilliant use of video..
 
@dunelm where did you obtain the video of the naff Trump tribute act giving new powers for Headteachers to deal with noisy children? Supposed to be hush, hush but I assume that was a Telegraph exclusive.

It was leaked from a drain at the back of number 10; fished out of the other slime and telegraphed to some hack masquerading as a reporter.

It actually was a training video for Polling Station Officials before the great referendum.....(no political bias intended, just could not resist the relationship to one cross and freedom)

Thanks @jjraak - I just need to fashion some sort of Roman medico look for a week on Saturday.
Guess what we get @dunelm when we go for a flu jab?

There is coffee and tea laid on (you put some money in for charity), and an array of amazing buttercream cakes...

The (my) diabetic nurse said last year (she flu jabbed me) when I told her I couldn't have any cakes, she said to me, nonsense of course you can you are allowed a treat for the flu jab...
 

I put funny but of course it is quite sad. We don’t do the tea and cake thing. When I was stationed in Germany, the German Red Cross used to set up the gymnasium for blood donations and they always supplied a pretty good buffet to say thank you.
 
@gennepher I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read this. I am sitting here shaking my head in disbelief.

There should be an icon @dunelm @Krystyna23040 for "speechless" or "stupid"...
 

The grocery store pharmacy here does bribery. Let the pharmacist give you a flu shot and they'll give you a $10 gift card for groceries.

Oh ... BTW... FBG 6.6 this morning. I finally started to feel better last night after taking a couple of ibuprofen; slept well; then this morning the burning pain started back again. Prayer seems to work as well as the OTC meds; maybe another day without coffee will help too.

This has been the longest week in recent history ... and it's still only Thursday.
