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

Morning...not long out of bed despite waking up at 4am initially...then again at 06:45...finally hauled myself out of bed just before 8am...needed that sleep like @dunelm my liver made it's objections know with a 6.4...I'll take that for the extra sleep it was worth it.
 
Morning all. Just off to mum's to make her 90th birthday as happy for her as we can. Armed with balloons, banners etc to decorate her lounge as well as food, pressies and birthday cake. No fbs test this morning as too busy! Enjoy your Wednesday one and all.
 

I have a very large spider in my bedroom. It is a she ...I looked her up...as long as she stays on walls or ceilings I am okay with her. She is several years old. Apparently this spider can live a long time. She chases and kills smaller spiders.

One day I found her in Popeye ‘s bucket of drinking water. I thought she was dead. So I carefully lifted her out. Then she began moving. I kept an eye on her and a couple hours later she was climbing the walls again.

I have loads of photos of her, but a little fairy tells me some of you are upset with spiders...

She was a very good photographic subject. Kept perfectly still and posed for me...too much information?

Oh well I will leave the photos in the albums in my phone, but should you change your mind...

Have a good day. I am on my thatched swing in the sun with the cat, and my eye is on the little blighters above in the thatch. Yes, tiny spider hatchlings. They do bite and it blinking hurts...

>^..^<
 
Hope the day gives wonderful memories for you and mum enjoys the moment. 90 is an achievement so definitely something to celebrate. Sounds to me as though you are doing the perfect thing for a mum you love dearly. Huge respect.
 
good morning all

4.8 for me today

it's looking like a sunny day today and it's quite warm here I've been outside doing a bit of garden tidying and we'll probably go out for lunch and a walk before mr. gee's dentist appt. this afternoon

We managed to finish trimming the bushes outside mum's gate yesterday and I got one of the hedges trimmed then we indulged ourselves with chicken caesar salad outside in her garden whilst being sprinkled with cherry blossom petals

Hope your day treats you kindly

Yes good idea gennepher leave them on the phone...I am not a fan of spiders when I can I will catch & release them...as long as incey (that's what we call it) stays in their corner I'll stay in mine...sounds idyllic relaxing with the cat...@plumpy' has taken himself out to sunbathe again...give him ten minutes he'll be back complaining

It's working well as an experiment! Glad your tummy better too.
 
6.6 after a night out which included a late night 3 course meal (one glass of prosecco) and an americano with cream. I'm ok with that.

Here's my social media post. Me and hubby had a great night watching the BEST George Michael tribute act EVER who tours all over but chooses to sing in a small local restaurant as he likes them as much as massive venues. Rob Lamberti is the man!

What a great night. I was designated driver. Not too familiar with parking in Lytham however.

How chuffed was I to find a spot RIGHT OUTSIDE GUSTO, our venue for the Rob Lamberti George Michael tribute. Checked for double yellows. Nope. It was like it had been waiting for us. Good to go. Smug as f.....

Great night. Came out 3 hours later onto the street to see our car surrounded by taxis. Only car amongst a fleet of them. Smack in the middle. I realised I had parked on a taxi rank! Oopsies! They had worked around our car for 4 hours!!! Taxi drivers did not look too pleased watching us hop in!!!

Anyway enough social media. Today's agenda will be interesting. I have my monthly Diabetics meeting at Tesco. Every month someone gives a talk. Today it's a representative from diabetes.org.uk. I cant wait.. ...I will take copious notes. I'm contemplating taking a pack that I give out to anyone who wants better control of blood sugars. My low carb info. When I say contemplating what I really mean is 'thrust this pack into her hands with both guns blazing '. Of course I'm joking. I will hand it over ever so gently....with both guns blazing!!!

It’ll be interesting to see how the .org spokesperson reacts to your low carb lifestyle and obvious success with it. They can hardly say your way is wrong when you are living proof of the benefits. Looking forward to hearing about it later.
 
6.1 at 0725. Trying to get back on eating track. Barre class last night, usually that drives it way down but not this time.
 
Happy Wednesday, everyone, plus Happy Birthday to your mum, @dogslife .

5.8 here after being woken earlier than I liked because there was a Hungry. Cat. in the apartment and as we all know, Cats. Must. Not. Be. Neglected. Especially when their bowls contain only Cat Chow and they want Chicken. No, Fish. No, Turkey. No, Chicken was best.

Ah, well, it's a lovely morning. Only 11 degrees outside. I really should go out and enjoy the sunshine.

Thank you, @Bubbsie! A friend indeed. I could not even read @gennepher 's post, it was giving me the gruesome shivers.
