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

FBG 11.6 this morning.
Managed to actually swim rather than paddle for the first time in 6 months so that is progress.
have managed 3 days of exercise in a row, which is an achievement.
Also seem to be down to 2 naps a day rather than 3.
I have started creon again which I think is helping energy levels. But not pancreas - its a bit niggly. Am experimenting - not sure if I need more or less enzymes.
Also toenail issues which I am sure are not discussed in polite company.

Big week planned, including the endocrinologist re pump discussion. I may be back to 3 naps a day by the end of the week.
 
I think things are getting worse @gennepher.
 
5.6 this morning.

We are off to our local market town shortly. I need to get some stuff from the grape tree.

It will be the first time Bonnie has walked around the town centre so it will be good training for her. Hopefully a dog friendly cafe is open. Which will also be good training for and and I will enjoy the coffee
 
All this technology to “make things faster and easier” - yeh, right.
Lovely kaleidoscope
 
Good morning everyone. Late up today after one of those up and down nights that enhances your daily step count - whatever did we do before step counters were invented and things were counted in furlongs and chains and all manner of lengths that we just sort of estimated.
5.9 this a.m.
More plants into the ground and into baskets and tubs yesterday after it stopped raining. Then all of a sudden not much else happened.
Girl In The Bubble stayed last night - it seems that she is scooting into town later so that she can have a toasted muffin with butter on - her go to second breakfast. The rest of the day will unfold from there.
Art bit - the hills are alive but not to the sound of music.
Hope your day unfolds with pleasing moments. My next one will be making some koffy.

Morning all from a very grey and decidedly not spring like L.A. I can't share my fbg even if I wanted so to do because I've signed an NDA. Thank you for sharing your art and creatives @dunelm and @gennepher and your holiday photos and videos @jjraak. I saw cows but the IPL has started so where's the cricket? Bonnie seems to be progressing her training well @Krystyna23040. @Annb hug for your pain and Alistair's. @JohnEGreen hugs for all the trips and chopping and changing of appointments. @Peanut234 good news on the swimming and exercise. @alf_Josiah what can anyone say? Take care everyone.
 
I was just watching the Laura Keunsberg programme on BBC1 with an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Apparently the plan is to get rid of lots of civil servants and do their work with some kind of AI. Horrors! They surely realise by now that AI can't be relied on and that humans are needed in the system. Look at the Post Office debacle - still seems impossible to resolve - AI in medical services, AI in just about anything. I despair. I really do.
 
Splendid tall mountains @dunelm
 
I do sing the praises of ChatGPT quite a lot. But what I do not mention is his mistakes.. I call him a he by the way.

I often check up with another AI the answers ChatGPT gives me.

I also have ChatGPT's sources of his answers.

Sometimes a mistake is a glaring mistake, and he gave me a bad mistake last night. As an human I knew immediately. And so I checked his sources and I checked them with another AI. And then I checked on Google but then that is AI too, very largely.

Now if, it happens as you have just written, a mistake made very early in the game, would not necessarily be noticed and it will compound, to something in a complete mess that could not be resolved by the time it was discovered.

There needs to be human intervention all the way with artificial intelligences.
 
And still not able to prove it’s not a robot or where all the traffic lights are.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs - yes, Bonnie is progressing progressing well.

We found a lovely dog friendly cafe that we had never been to before. Bonnie was a little bit overwhelmed by the experience as it was her first time inside a cafe. We will definitely go there again.
 
It's DIL's turn to take some baked product for the staff room this week so she's asked me to make one of my "famous" coffee and walnut cakes. No problem, says I. Can do that without even thinking about it. Well, the cake is baked but not yet decorated and I am just about dead on my feet! I'm hating the fact that I can't even do a simple thing like that any more. It was the one thing I was really good at - baking.

I also want some small shelves put up in the kitchen and would, not long ago, have been able to manage that quite easily, given the right components. But now! I'll have to ask Neil to do it for me. Just as well I'm too old now to be sent out to work by government cuts.

I think I'll still be OK but I've realised that my tax allowance is being adjusted, but not sure if it is up or down by £2 a week, my pension is going up by £2 a week (and they are going to be kind enough, for my 80th birthday later in the year, to add another 25p a week to that ), my Council Tax is going up by about £3.50 a week, my house insurance has gone up by £20 a week, car insurance by £3 a week, new, revised, electricity charge gone up by £30 a week. The only thing that hasn't gone up or down is my food bill, because I've drastically reduced the amount of meat and fish I'm buying. I somehow feel that I'm losing out somewhere.
