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

[HarryBeau]

Not much I can do about it, virus will work itself out over time.

Its been a particularly rough few weeks OBB...wallow away you're entitled... lets hope you can get some respite soon.

Sea Fever, although I had other choice names for her that might test the scrutiny by moderators on the forum.

I wonder if it is the colour. My 13yr old Labrador is chocolate. You couldn't get a more gentle and affectionate Labrador but he is so stubborn. When he absolutely refuses to turn for home because he thinks the walk hasn't been long enough, or he decides he wants to walk a different way to the way you have chosen - I do have some choice names for him that I couldn't possibly repeat on here.

Sorry folks no time.
5.1 this Morening.

Hugs and giggles and whatever else is is needed to all, you choose.

Must dash and dot, dot dash

6.3 this morning, feeling sorry for myself and rougher than... well, rough things. Moved into the 'wet' phase of proper flu which is naff as I just had the flu jab. Aches and pains along with an inability to walk more than a few yards makes for a fun time. Her ladyship still requires me to drive her so no rest there. Does all that sound wretched enough? Excellent

Good thought but I think it's more the thoroughbred. I have a Champagne Labrador who's just as stubborn, he's a lovely dog though. Before him I had a Champagne Lab crossed with a Golden Retriever, looked like a pure Labrador but he was clever, obedient and trustworthy. Once I asked him to stay outside a country pub, had a meal, left through another door and drove home and got on with some jobs, about 2 hours later I realised I had left the poor fellow at the pub, went back and there he was sitting very alert but still waiting, he was certainly the best dog I have ever had.

Oh and all the WElsh Cobs I owned that were not thoroughbred were also sensible and well behaved. So in my book it's the thoroughbred that is the problem. Having said that I am certainly not thoroughbred and I have been know to behave badly

Wretched as Dickens. I'm sorry to hear you're still ill. I hope her ladyship doesn't catch it, wish she could find another driver for the duration. You should be in bed with tea and Talisker. Hug.

7.2 Thursday morning. The KittenCat seems to be under the same impression as @gennepher 's app. She had a big breakfast of treats, followed by a second breakfast of actual food, yet here she sits demanding more. Or something else. I am not very fluent in CatSpeak first thing in the morning especially when my coffee is lukewarm and the apartment is cool enough for socks.

But there is a lovely October sky outside and I will see what the KittenCat wants now as I get up to pour another (hopefully hotter) mugful of coffee.

 

[SaskiaKC]

Turns out she wanted to go back to bed. She who woke me up to get out of bed to feed her. I wish I could take her to the pub with me ...

 

[jjraak]

Hard to consistently strike the right tone reading this morning's posts. @OldButBold fantastic humour in adversity but hug for the flu; @dogslife hug for your loss and dilemma but admiration for striving to fulfil the wishes of the departed; @gennepher throughly bizarre experience so bed sounds like a plan; @trick60 more good morning readings and thanks for the wishes for a good day; @SaskiaKC glad the shoulder pain has gone and your world is wearing a happier visage.

best wishes for the days ahead, and a clear score, please god.

as for the posted meeting appropriate levels,
I'm just thankful that anyone reads, marks or replies to my posts, in any fashion, myself.

just nice to have the ability to post and know it's not just moaning into the ether of the Interweb..

and the prose later..

mine runs..

Defo covers my time on here.

Your dogs, past and present, sound like real characters. I am really impressed with your Champagne Lab crossed with a Golden Retriever. How clever, obedient and trustworthy to stay waiting for you outside the pub.

As your Champagne Lab is just as stubborn as my Chocolate Lab - I do think that you are right - that it isn't the colour of the horse, but the thoroughbred breeding that is the problem.

Interesting readings again today. Struggled to get over 5 after breakfast, then was 3.8 before lunch. Felt OK and not even really that hungry. Something has definitely changed. Not complaining though as it is much better doing keto and having low numbers than doing keto and being fed up because the numbers are not as low as I think they should be with such low carbs.

a long day yesterday, out hunting a bit of work over chrimbo.

A nightmare as
1) traffic good until 3 miles from, appointment site. GRIDLOCKED
2) decided to park up and then had the "Pay by phone" nightmare
TRIED to join and get the ******* site to accept my card, reg number and payment details, repeatedly told i don't exist..I KNOW, that why i am entering everything for the FIRST TIME...@%$*@
3) reluctantly back INTO the car, knew the are roughly, so i could park further north IF i could only make progress through the GRIDLOCKED Traffic.
4) still made the effort, arrived late, made job offer, so a useful day all in,
even if a 30 mins journey (1hr all in each way), as i planned it, became 4 1/2 hours sat in traffic...aaggh

Didn't help bike has sat unused the last two weeks, and of course wouldn't start , so car it was..
but Oh No a slow puncture...best get that pumped up and seen to once at site
.... as I'll have PLENTY of time...

out at 130, home by 6pm..
ate then bed..awake at midday,bloods 6.0...just had breakfast and now feel, ready to go one more time.

seems to be a thread here of sleeping longer then normal,. i wonder if a few of us are 'Syncing'..?

my stephs jokes i've joined a food Cult, not sure it's more like the Borg from start trek, now...

Ah, yes, the Dreaded Diabetes Collective.

That, or else we're all aging at the same rate and sleeping in protest.

Whichever, it is, as you say, @jjraak
