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

That's interesting - they must be all over the country.
 
Good luck with the eye injection today..I have the third of this course on Friday. It is very encouraging that you got 5 years from the first lot. Hope Archie gets on ok too. Best wishes for both of you.
 
@gennepher scrolling back that is one amazing photo of the night sky. Thanks for uploading. I struggle with that, when No 2 son shows me it is so easy and then I forget.



I was just trying an experiment here...

I normally just use the web page for this site, even on my phone because then I can use the full range of emojis and see them.

I had an idea, so went to the app which I rarely use, (I only have this app on my old iPhone) and it will reduce the file size automatically for you (you choose the lower size option it offers you and that uses less of your phone data too). So I used Popeye’s photo and it reduced the file size for me

So second pic, a screenshot, of the process is

I clicked the bottom size choice as it is less data to upload.

I haven’t got the app on my Android because I am filling my space up rapidly. And consequently to post my photos from the Android, I have to reduce the file size via another app and then I can upload it on to this site on the web. So, this means I don’t know how the app for this site behaves or what are the steps for uploading photos via the Android app. It won’t be vastly different.

Have a go! We would love to see photos of the girls!

By the way when I first tried this uploading lark of photos on to this site, I did make a mess of it, and yes panic set in! Maybe some one else can explain the above better than I can!

Thank you for the compliment on the photo. I appreciate it.

(I hope this all works when I press ‘reply’!)
 
Thanks so much I use an ipad dont have a smart phone, though that will change in new year. I will try to post photo of the girls by emailing it to myself and then doctoring it for now. Your suggestions will be helpful when I get an (older edition) iphone.
Popeye has a heart shaped nose

5.8 this morning. A not entirely unexpected result. This is more in line with previous morning levels.
Disturbed night, was up for about 45 mins. Hungry too. Had small piece of cheese about 3.45am.
Also no alcohol last night. Not counting two sips.
Had thought the new evening regime was helping.

Eight jars of my atomic mince meat laced with brandy mulled wine & best port...in addition to 4 dozen mince tarts heading for our office tomorrow accompanied by the largest pot of extra thick double cream & a can of spray cream for the plebs among them.

ps. all packed away in the cake tins so I'm not tempted (again)
 


I am drooling @HarryBeau ....

I did try a couple last night gennepher...just to make sure there were no soggy bottoms today I have decided to be mostly carb free...they won'tlast more than half an hour at our office & my colleagues look forward to some home made baking...I won't upload a photo of my friend Henry's flourless triple dark chocolate cake...making him one for his father to share on Christmas day has become a tradition...his father is coeliac so cannot eat a regular cake...this one if perfect for him & also contains 300gms of the highest cocoa solid % I can find...that may be too much for you

Archie got on well. Vet thinks it is a benign lump on his pad which may grow or may stay the same. If it grows it will need to be taken off because it will interfere with his walking. So it's a wait and see. The vet said that he is in great shape for a 13 year old chocolate Labrador.
 
Oh no - I saw your pictures before I saw your warning. They look seriously amazing.
