10.5 sitting on the edge of my bed at 03.20. By the time I got through to the kitchen it was 9.7. One cup of coffee and insulin later - 12.5. On my 2nd cup of coffee now and we'll see how it goes.

Blimey, I only use a lancet once.12.7, retested other hand 10.7
Apart from a swig of cherry coke to help tablets go down (some brands of Metformin resemble miniature dishwasher tablets) I ate pretty well yesterday so didn't trust the first reading.
Unfortunately a combination of blunt lancet, scarred fingertips and clumsy aim of test strip towards blood drop meant I had to resort to both little fingers. It's true, they really do hurt more than the others
I have discovered a pimple on my chin which is such a rare occurrence these days I'm wondering if my week of extra high BGs may be hormonal.
Does anyone else find their lancets only last about a week? I keep hearing of people who only change theirs every year or even less often!

Good morning everyone on another splendid start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north.
5.2 this a.m.
A full on day yesterday which included The Girl In The Bubble receiving her first swimming certificate and of course, a cloth badge and two exhausted grandparents.
Swimming baths this morning so I expect that the now ‘expert’ swimmer will be holding court even though the other three have been able to swim for several years - but they will be encouraging.
Art bit - a new ink - just a splodge to see the chlorophyl colour of it.
Hope your day is Friday. “Be satisfied with even the smallest step forward and regard the outcome as a small thing.”(Marcus Aurelius, Meditations.
Best make some koffy.

Happy Friday Morening ladies and gentlemen.
Instructions are being issued and I am running scared.
I must go now. Looks are coming my way.
My blood sugars are beginning to settle down in Australia! I think.

5.4 this morning.
Am not allowed in the office this morning. We only have 3 rooms with carpets in the whole house, the 2 guest bedrooms and the office plus the landing and stairs. Mr K has decided it is carpet cleaning morning so I am relaxing and reading with a coffee in the conservatory.
