6.9 this Sunday morning. We slept until 10:30! Unheard of. Even at that late hour the KittenCat did not wake me, but, when she saw I was awake, simply crept up from the foot of the bed to snuggle. She has eaten a good breakfast but seems subdued, I hope she is feeling alright. ^. .^
I have given up trying to understand FBG and DP. If I can score a 6.9 after such a long sleep, with no bedtime snack, then all I can conclude is that FBG is based on my eating over the past few days and not at all related to any one meal/snack in particular. And I can't change my diet too much, because BG is not the only number I'm concerned about. I have to factor in BP, LDL, and lbs. as well.
If any of you would like to get rid of some of that rain, please send it my way! I can't remember the last time it rained here, and the 19 degrees showing on my laptop is about 10 degrees below the midmorning temps we've been getting. A week into October, and all the leaves outside my window are still as green as in June.
@SaskiaKC Thank you - the site looks really good.Cool .. I've just been Googling "Z bed" and found a great site called ReadySteadyBed.
111 sounds like a great service.
I have fond memories of the Science Museum...that was our go to place whenever we skipped a day off school
5.3 this morning - tested an hour and a half later than usual but no dawn phenomenon. I expected that my liver would have done a dump because of the late breakfast but I suppose that it is a good sign that it hasn't. Maybe I'm becoming more 'normal'.
Just had a lovely bacon, egg and mushroom breakfast and am now relaxing with coffee. The rain is chucking it down here in Norfolk so I think it will be a lazy day today - reading and relaxing.
Good morning folks and the word precipitation
The wonder wheel of a late evening but a good nights sleep rewarded me with a flat 5.0 this am.
I was going to pick apples this morning but at present they are all waving about glistening with rain so will leave them where they are for now and concentrate on a bit of baking - flax seed crackers and a couple of “bread” rolls. It has been suggested that a bit of finely grated parmesan in the flax seed cracker recipe may work well - will give that a go and see. I have already got a couple of pints of tumeric tea straining so that will need bottling. May get some kefir started but I am losing interests in that due to only me drinking it (Mrs Miggins she no likee).
Best get on with the importance of being with koffy in order to persuade my aching bones that the day has promise.
TTFN
Doggies didn't even want to go out today as the rain is torrential. We decided (maybe foolishly) to go to The Range in Norwich as we need a Z Bed as youngest granddaughter is no longer in a cot.
A47 was starting to flood in the way there which was a bit worrying. Water was much higher on way back but we got through - it is now impassable at Easton and the A47 is closed. Police are advising only essential travel - so it is a nightmare out and about.
A weird day with BS - they have been lurking in the low 4s for much of the day. I feel very well though - no feeling of having a hypo - so my body has finally got used to the low 4s and feels it has no need to warn me.
Thank you for the emojis, @gennepher . Those are exactly what we need here!
The KittenCat just jumped down from her window sill and asked me to get her some lunch. She is now happily nomming some canned tuna in the kitchen. Don't you love it when they purr while they're eating? ^. .^
Clouds outside now, and I just noticed there's a 60% chance of rain forecast for tomorrow. I hope it will develop into 100% overnight. Temperatures should be lower this coming week, down into the low 80s (high 20s) which will be lovely. The only problem is it will mean putting away my shocking-pink shorts for the winter!(But I can still wear my shocking-pink-and-orange tiger-striped socks.)
KittenCat has finished lunch and sharpened her claws on her coco-fiber mat and just cantered off to see what's going on in the bedroom ...
now back asking to be entertained ....
Nice idea, @Debandez
and pretty appropriate.
appreciate it may not get too far, BUT if we made it a YEARLY event, maybe.
as in " last year we got X numbers to sign..lets see if we can beat it, this year.." type of thing
It's not a one off illness, the rates increasing, awareness is coming slowly of other options for treatment
so perhaps the fight for our RIGHT to better health care should take the same time format.
But do agree with @HarryBeau ..don't expect too much to happen straight off.
(the ladies fighting for their pension rights shows that is pretty true, but they never gave up trying)
and @OldButBold , has probably got the right tool to make the petition work.
and on that note, Debs..honoured as i am by your praise of my tech skills, it is just me giving things a go,
that get me even close to being skillful.
i think @OldButBold , would be a much better option for detailed up to date info on all things tech., imho.
edit.
it does come to mind, that those in surgery COULD have a diabetes day coffee morning akin to macmillans
(obv on a much smaller scale)
Coffee and CREAM.., Lettuce wrapped meat, Avocado and scrambled eggs,..greek yoghurt and real fruit...
mmh a few ideas for starters
after all the WHAT CAN I EAT NOW.:***:...IS the mating call of the newly diagnosed,
maybe this could be a good opportunity to show there IS other things to eat that isn't carb loaded cereals.?
Light bulb moment! I need to start writing scripts!My sleep patterns were never good even before I was diagnosed with diabetes @Muddy Cyclist
But I might have had diabetes years before and was not diagnosed. Also I was not on low carb then. So I believe it is ‘just’ life. So many things - higher stress from more sources than ever before and computers and the internet (availability of constant news etc) all probably play a part.
I can understand that Doc Martin drama making people aware about diabetes. It’s ‘only’ a tv drama but it can have more power in getting a message across than a so called information show. I know from experience with my own profound deafness, because long ago there was an American fictional drama which included the problems of a profoundly deaf person. I watched it, and unknown to me my daughter was watching it upstairs. She came down at the end of the program (she had been dismissive and derogatory about my profound deafness up to that point, and I think she was about 14 years old), and said “I’m sorry mum, I didn’t realise it was like that for you.”
So, it is not really strange what makes people aware. They will take a message from a fictional program because you are not lecturing or trying to make them understand something.
and @OldButBold ..was that bonhams up by harrods..as they also had an auction house in lots road, as well..we lived two blocks over.
