Thank you.
Only popped out for a Muddy Bike ride, then lunch with Mrs MC and a sunny afternoon walk and the forum moved on like an express train, Christmas! We've only just had bonfire night and leaves are still on the trees. Mind you I do love Christmas all that time with family and friends plus numerous gigs with the folk band, choir and recorder quartet.
Good news @OldButBold and @HarryBeau
@SaskiaKC you have nothing to be embarrassed about, frustrating as it is our pet Draculas love to shock us now and again, are you like me? Refuse to believe it, wash hands, test again, try other fingers, waste strips and all to no avail as the result is still annoyingly the same. We've all been there I'm sure and it's the forum support that gets us through.
Mind you today I was very very embarrassed. I went my muddy bike ride and it was extremely muddy and decided on the way back to pop into the health centre to find out why they had not called me for my HbA1c test which was due in October. I locked up my bike, removed my helmet and rushed into the building, there was a line of 4 people waiting and behind the desk 5 members of the health staff were standing seemingly doing nothing to reduce the line of patients. So I asked a man in front of me why no one was being seen to, he said "I have no idea it's always the same they are dead slow" at which point the health centre manager said very crossly "we are trying to have 2 minutes silence" now that's embarrassment, I felt awful.
Oh and as for BG reading after 0 carb breakfast and 2 hour bike ride 6.1 and after 0 carb lunch 6.3 now and before evening meal, why?
I think around the time of Hawai 5-0 I was watching Bonanzo. Loved Little Joe. Anyone remember The High Chapperel ?Bonanza was one of my favorites, along with Laramie and Rawhide.
Sure do! MRs MC also liked Little Joe but that's before she met meI think around the time of Hawai 5-0 I was watching Bonanzo. Loved Little Joe. Anyone remember The High Chapperel ?

Why not try a small carb snack before you exercise...I am back to walking nothing like I used to do less than half...if I have nothing (carbs) my BG goes up...worth a go MC.BG reading after 0 carb breakfast and 2 hour bike ride 6.1 and after 0 carb lunch 6.3 now and before evening meal, why?
thank you, life seems good ... only hard task now for me is the diabetes.... we even decided only to give one gift each person to one other (except our children) so Christmas wil be okay cheap this year... and no worries there...I am having most of the inner family this year for Christmas dinner and dance around the Christmas tree... here in DK we celebrate mostly the evening of the 24.th of december... happy to be able just to focus on decorating for christmas the tree and not at least the dinner... we have both vegetarians and meatlovers... so need lots of food ideas especially for the vegetarins... hope you are all doing well in this great forum.... it is such a hard task to keep ones nose in the track....
Thanks, I'll give it ago and see what Dracula delivers.Why not try a small carb snack before you exercise...I am back to walking nothing like I used to do less than half...if I have nothing (carbs) my BG goes up...worth a go MC.
Age is a wonderful thing, just sad we don't reach it half way through our lives rather than in our later years.Hey I am showing my age here btw! They were great watches which we-all really enjoyed and were glued to at the time. Of course no mobiles etc.

Just a quickie. Back from southport. Had a lovely few hours there with hubby eating, drinking and making merry. Iving on the cake was being part of a low carb group led by dr David Unwin himself. Before the group started we had half an hour on our own. He shared some of his info which will help me so much when I set my own low carb group up in the future. The low carb session was packed to the rafters. Held in the reception area of his surgery. Not an empty chair left. Dr Unwin spoke about tackling xmas, suggestions for starters, mains desserts and of course a cheese board. Making a nice gravy out of the Turkey juice and cream. Cauliflower Baileys no sugar. Special coffees. Alcohol in general. Mixers. He spoke about good and bad fats. Butter is good (apart from most spreadable which have veg oil or rapeseed in) nuts good and bad. Fruit good and bad. He encouraged everyone to ask questions. He is such a wonderful man. Anyway I came away with so much food for thought.
Tired now and in bed. Catch up tomorrow.
Today's libre report;
Coffee and cream breakfast at hairdressers
Late brunch rump steak salad with peppercorn sauce. Followed by cheese and 1 Jacob's crackers
Glass of red.
Eyes are closing so I will bid you farewell!!!
What a brilliant day.Iving on the cake was being part of a low carb group led by dr David Unwin himself.
