I have to confess that this is a several times a day occurrence for me. Naughty me.
I have to confess that this is a several times a day occurrence for me. Naughty me.No cream because the amount is gradually creeping up, so is the amount of coffee I’m drinking. I just love coffee with cream but I reckon it should probably be a treat not a several times a day occurrence.
Well I’ve given up being able to get back to sleep now. Been awake since 3:30, had lots of cups of tea so now up and down to the loo.
Fbg 4.8 about 4am.
I’m worried about Dennis, we had to rush him to the vet last night as he managed to get into daughter’s study ( door was shut but latch hadn’t clicked down properly we think) he pulled her bag off the desk and chewed up a her meds which were inside ( paracetamol, codeine and a hormone one) when we discovered it, the floor was littered with the boxes, chewed blister packs and half chewed pills. No idea how many he’d swallowed.
Mad dash to vet who gave him an emetic jab and within a couple of mins he was vomiting violently. He was so good though and although he was sick about 20 times he got it in the bowl every time. Poor vet had to don gloves and feel about in it to see if he could find any pills ( he couldn’t) they’ve kept him in overnight on a drip and given a paracetamol antidote. We are all just stunned with how quickly it happened. Poor daughter is blaming herself but it really was just an accident, she always checks the door as it has a dodgy catch but can’t have engaged properly this time.
I think it’s going to be a long morning until the vet phones, I’m just sitting here worrying.
You could set up an account on Etsy, your artwork would go well there

What a Catastrophe
Sorry @gennepher could not resist that one, but sorry that happened to you.
I have no idea how I'm going to lighten my sky it needs to remain dark behind the wave for best effect, I can see I'm going to waste some paper and paint, but I'm not going to be defeated.
Lots of hugs for you @DJC3 and DennisWell I’ve given up being able to get back to sleep now. Been awake since 3:30, had lots of cups of tea so now up and down to the loo.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and those who been a bit sporadic in visiting this thread, me and me's had our reasons driven by CBA.
I hope you regulars have been well, if not get well soon.
Remember today is National Bin Day.
My fasting blood sugars have been anything from 8.1 down to a 5.1 with an average of 6.2, but I have no trust in that evil scheming meter. It's up to something.......
Well folks I have no idea what your plans are for today, but I hope they involve being and doing something that will bring a smile to a strangers face. Above all else remember, what? I've forgotten already.
Maybe the slogan really should have read - don't die because of the ignorance of your HCP.A previous health campaign had a slogan "Don't die of ignorance". Seems very apt in our T2D context.
@SaskiaKC, not sure if the pre-made variety will be that authentic and perhaps may contain sugars and other nasties.I agree. My father had diverticulitis and hardly ate any fiber. I don't want to develop it.
My mother, however, could eat anything, and loved hot and spicy foods. I can eat them, but I don't like them.
But I have been meaning to ask y'all: What is tikka masala like? Is it hot and spicy? My grocery store carries several brands of this variety of frozen dinners and I thought I would try one.
@SaskiaKC, I have tried many gadgets that make koffy over the years - all a big phaf and not all that satisfying (unless of course you have a big Italian Espresso machine in all it’s glory) - I use a cafetière (french press if you like) - always works. Secret is not to burn the beans with boiling water. Grinding your own beans means that you can change the flavour just by how much of a grind you give them although I just buy my koffy already ground because I am lazy. Not a fan of instant nor that bitter stuff that sits stewing in glass jugs on a heated plate.I bought a stovetop percolator and actually brewed coffee in it for about 3 cans' worth. Now I occasionally use just the pot to boil water for instant coffee.
I bought a Mr Coffee drip coffeemaker and used it several times.
Now I just fill a microwaveable mug with water and nuke it, then add instant coffee.
The brewed coffee was tasty but not worth the cleanup or the price of the filters.
But it was tempting to try different brands and roasts/grinds, and to consider grinding my own!
I don’t know if you want the bother but if you cook the pasta the day before (for 9 minutes and then rinse thoroughly), leave in the fridge overnight and then drop into boiling water for a minute or two the next day, you will have locked a good 30% of the carbs into residual starch. Residual starch has little effect on BS and your gut bacteria will love it.Morning all.
6.6 mmo/lt at 0600.
Had spag. bol. with real dried pasta, 50g. last night as a experiment, so quite pleased with my FBG. My BG 90 mins p.p. was 7.0 so not a disaster either. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Hope you all survived the storms unscathed. Have a great day.
