Aw poor KC..:wideyed:

(lovely wording, btw...a Notu....:hilarious: :D)
 
A very curious ad just popped up onto my screen -- a row of coats and other wraps, with the notice MORE CHOO.
I don't get it. They were clothes, not steam locomotives.
Now, market this, with the notice MORE CHOO, and I would get it. --

I'm representing all of us that want change. I do my little bit. You do so much on the forum. I'm in awe. Such a positive force. We all so our bit where we can to help. This friendly little thread makes me smile every day. I love the banter. All the different personalities blend so well I feel.

Meeting went well. Got bread rolls!!! BREAD ROLLS I SAY!!! And loaves of bread!!! Low carb heaven. In freezer. Not testing til after my hba1c at gp Friday. Bread still scares me Haha. Saturday will be a bacon butty. Might even add a dash of HP!!! What a rebel. Then I will watch my.CGM graph (who needs TV!!!).
 
@jjraak lol they are probably all trouble...they would all wreck our furniture chew our carpet and provide lots of undesirable “gifts” but hey who can resist a warm cat on your lap on a cold night purring as loud as one of their ancestors on the savannah. Bliss.

I second @DJC3 you really are a fabulous force in bringing education and encouragement to Diabetics. Your encounter with the lady under 40 who has had such a bad experience was a case in point. Yes agree this thread is just wonderful...nobody judges anyone we all have our own challenges but we support each other with humour and friendship. Long may that continue.

Will/ is the bread available to buy now or is it still being developed?
I can imagine that the CGM is pretty addictive viewing
Ps agree about this thread it is such a comfortable place to relax in.
 
back from docs..long day.

Flu Jab ..done.
Asthma review went really well, no change to meds.
breathing above average for age. etc

but a bit of a mix up on the hba1c,
seems it was a review with DN, not hba1c blood draw.

however at reception when i booked i assumed they would know which it was,
which i thought was fine as they booked me in to get bloods taken etc.

but lovely nurse checked, and it was a review only.
Made real effort for me and got me back in next weds for the REVIEW ;)

so not a complete waste of a day much done.and perhaps i should have been clearer when booking appointments.

hey ho..tomorrow is another day.:D

I agree @jjraak . Marley needs a little brother. Or a little sister. Or one of each. Or all of the above. Or ...

Glad it went well re flu jab and asthma check up. I’ve had the same issue with diabetic reviews. To me it means HbA1c and discussing progress but I think to most GP receptionists it is the general foot check, height and weight etc with HCA. It’s taken me 3 tries at my new surgery to get a review. I have another appt at the end of the month but I’m still not sure it’s for HbA1c
