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

I woke to 6.0 no more to say about that.
@PenguinMum hugs for your higher than usual fbg I wonder if it’s the fallout from your eye appointment still causing issues.
@karen8967 I hope you’re feeling ok by now, horrible for you.
@johnpol so sorry to hear of your difficulties too, but very pleased to see you posting again.
@gennepher the pet cemetery and lunch sounded like a lovely relaxing day. I didn’t know such places really existed.
@dunelm I had to read out your post about the Pringles invention to my family- leftover slurry from a potato peeling factory sounds gross but a brilliant invention. I think it’s put them all off Pringles ( thank goodness)
@Debandez how lovely that they went to so much trouble for you, and well done you for carrying it off with such aplomb.
 


Well impressed by that lady, & the establishment, debs.

so i took a little look online for the link, and guess who was at the top of tripadvisors postings...

Sounds marvelous..good on them for doing SO much for you.
but well done you too, for making sure they got recognised to boot.
"Stepping stones" of garstang..too far for me, but what a great sounding place, many others could take note.

Winner, winner, cream tea dinner..so to speak.
 
@SaskiaKC it was great meeting up with our friends after all that time. The Olde Windmill was a nice place to meet although the food portions were absolutely huge. My Labradors were very happy that I couldn't eat all my chicken.

@DJC3 it is really good to know that there is a possibility that husband's problem will be sorted although he thinks the MRI won't take place until after Christmas.

Today I did a huge amount of admin - so a really good day. I think I forgot to post my 5.8 this morning.
 

Winner for the humans, winner winner chicken dinner for the Labradors.
 
Good Morning, Friday again, how quickly they seem to come around. 5.3 for me at 5 am.

Granddaughter day with daughter and son in law for dinner tonight, a day of childish fun followed by music after tonight's meal.

Keep dry, it's threatening rain. Make the most of your Friday.
 
F g 6.7

The app threatens horrendous rain today and tomorrow.

Nah! It’s not going to rain on my garden today and I have put an order in for the sun to come out.

Be positive!!!!

Have a good brilliant weekend

This is what my weather app threatens...
And that is just the rain in one hour, never mind the rest of the hourly rain promises...

Good morning folks. @trick60 realistically, you have had a great run of numbers so the dice had to reassert itself eventually to maintain a scintilla of self respect. @Muddy Cyclist pleased for you with the more pleasing fbg and the day ahead sounds idyllic - one for the ages. @gennepher your personal weather forecast sounds like something from ABdP Johnson Esq - the collision with reality may be just as unfortunate. My bg at 5.09 was 5.4 no idea what it was about 1.5 hrs earlier on waking. Grateful it is not higher, unimpressed with the actual level. Like many here, I suspect, behind that number lies the work, self denial, research and frequent disappointment of 2 people. We post and discuss our journey but there is a hidden support network enmeshed in this lifestyle. I thank God for my wife and pay proper tribute to your partners who have obviously had their lives impacted however much they downplay the effect. You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living
 
5.6 this morning. I haven’t looked out of the window yet @gennepher but I expect it’ll rain here too. This village appears to have its own little microclimate: it can be glorious sunshine all day in Newquay just a few miles away and deluging here. Hope you can get into your garden for a bit.
Toady I have an electrician coming round to try and figure out why the kitchen lights start to go out if they’ve been left on more than a couple of hours. I really should get up and take Dennis out soon before he arrives.
 

I think we have our own microclimate as well. I can get a smattering of snow, and less than a mile up the lane I can be in blizzards and snowdrifts...

I hope you get your electrics sorted quickly.

Have a good day.
 
Morning All. 5.9 at 0700 which is satisfactory since I had giant fishfingers for supper. Have been fixating about them all week (ideally in a white bread sandwich with salad cream) so had to get it out of my system so its done. Off to Kent later to dog sit while my friend has a hospital appointment and will then stay till Sunday morning. Not looking forward to the drive around the M25 (dodgems) . So Halloween Strictly in PJs with a gin to hand and LOTS of chat on the cards. @Debandez what a fab result at the aft tea those people are food heroes. @ianpspurs you are so right and easy to overlook. @Muddy Cyclist enjoy the day with your family.
Hope you all have a great weekend. Stay well, stay safe.
 
@DJC3 hope you get your lights fixed must admit anything to do with electrics playing up scares me. On the other hand I used my new tumble drier for the first time yesterday and that (and the fishfingers) made my day
 
Morning all from a cold North, the meter of doom was uncharacteristically taking pity on me with a 5.9, after the last few weeks of challenge shall we say I'm more than delighted with it. anyway its only bloomin Friday a weekend full of drink and getting up to mischief, but alas no I'm watching the Rugby and then helping out at an event on Sunday in aid of The Edward Foundation (a charity that helps Bulldogs at risk) so no drinking our debauchery.


Take care everyone.
 
So 2 Sports direct mugs of tea with h/m almond milk produces a rise of 1.2 on right hand and 0.5 on left hand after 2 hrs. Baffling discrepancy apart the question arises what do I do with that?. Some mornings there is no rise and in general over 4.5 yrs, breakfast or not, there is about a .5 rise after 2 hrs. I don't like the idea of eating/drinking anything just for the sake of influencing something that seems to be "one of those things" with 0 nutritional value. I also wonder if using a CGM would throw up lots more little pieces of data like that which don't have a satisfactory answer. Yes, I think this is related to fbg.
