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

Happy birthday to Em.
 
6.9.
More painting as rain stopped play, nearly finished the inside of our fence.
and Mrs L wants me to paint new front fence before outside back fence. Which is really confusing because that is different from yesterday and the day before. I had to go and get more paint, Mrs L said Wilkos is best and better value.
DiL took me and I also found a bulb suitable for the bedside lamp, Mrs L 's night light has broken already. Cheap rubbish. #8 went straight to the toys for some reason?
#8 now only a couple of weeks away from morning school and he is now in the why phase of conversation.
Best wishes.

7.15am FBG 6.2
Possibility of visitors this morning is not enough to inspire me to bake in the new oven which is apparently so sensitive that it has to be cleaned with a soft cloth using lukewarm water and mild detergent after every use. It is recommended to clean the oven while it is still hot.
Surely using a damp cloth on a hot oven is a recipe for scalds and burns.
In a different section vinegar and water is suggested.
Wipe after every use, then gently dry with a soft cloth. Is there a single person in the world who will do this? Certainly not me. Meanwhile the unpleasant chemical smell on first heating has not dissipated so i am reluctant to put any food inside.
My new DIL loves cats and took many photos of Kiki.


Which will not load.

5.8 at 05.50 today. Still there.

Momentous day today as I try to put lentils back into my diet after a disastrous diarrhoea attack a few weeks ago. It may, or may not, have been the lentil crackers that did it, it could just have been a bug, but I blamed the lentil crackers and stopped eating them. So, today is the day when I try it again - nothing planned for the next week, so if it happens again there'll be some time to get over it.
 
6.0 this morning. Probably because I ate late. We were watching Ridley and we both ate rather a lot of peanuts and I also had some Aldi almond and pineapple mini roule cheese. It was delicious.

Actually I rather enjoyed 'going off the rails' last night
 
Inside back fence finished and painted.
Outside to do at a later date.
New bench has been painted as well, must admit looks good.
7.7 today.
I was able to do the painting because I had paint........... And Mrs L had a visitor this afternoon to talk to her......which is through social services.
Mrs L is a little bit better today. Hopefully it's not another infection thanks to her diabetes meds.
Knackered again........ Up and down through the night.
Have a wonderful weekend
Best wishes.
 
4.9 sitting on the edge of my bed at 03.10 today. By the time I got to the kitchen it was 4.4. 4.2 10 minutes ago but back to 4.5 now. I'm keeping a close eye on it as part of the experiment I am undertaking using walnuts to control BG.

Does anyone know anything about walnuts and BG? This was an accidental find for me which just seems to work for some reason - unless something else is going on that I haven't noticed.

EDIT: Just found articles online which support the idea that walnuts can help reduce BG as well as having other beneficial effects. Just shouldn't eat too many because they can cause weight gain.
