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

Gosh, thanks you guys for the very warm welcome.

@Krystyna23040 and @DJC3 I've learned something from you already, been trying to keep my carbs really low to flatline my bloods and couldn't understand why it often took hours for my bloods to return to reasonable levels. Its been so frustrating. I did wonder if it might have been too much protein, looks like that might be the case from what you have recounted. Some additional testing for me I think.

You think that a) I would have told you (or Julie) and b) I would have taken a blind bit of notice?

Ah, ah us blokes are all alike, I always deny throwing myself down steep rocky drops to Mrs MC, she think I go out for a gentle potter. But I suspect she is not fooled. :joyful:

I dont mind getting dirty after a warm dry day in the garden but I dont like to be wet and cold. I hate it when you wish you had photos of moments despite the best pics being always in your head.

For me the wetter, muddier and sometimes bloodier the better. I do try and avoid the later though as Mrs MC asks too many questions.

Haha! He was surprisingly well behaved on our walk this morning. He almost managed to ignore the ducks in the park and didn’t eat too much duck poo. He is definitely growing up ( otherwise it was just so cold and wet he just didn’t want to waste time, and just wanted to get home)

And who could blame him the thought of lounging on a rug in front of your stove is attractive to me let alone Dennis. He is a very wise dog!

It’s still a work in progress for me Ryhia, a matter of constantly tweaking what works for each of us. Surprisingly what works for one person may not work for someone else, keep at it though and I’m sure you’ll find a way that suits you.
 
good evening all :)

was 4.4 this morning

It was a cold day here with freezing fog this morning , but thankfully, no snow ;)

Out earlier to look for a new microwave for mum because the interior paint is coming off the one she has, it's still working but it's getting difficult to clean properly :sorry:

Mum doesn't like anything too space station in terms of controls and we did manage to find one with straighforward controls that also has a digital timer readout so that seems like a win.

Hope your day is treating you well :)
 
How do you explain to your cat that the reason you are holding the tip of her tail under the faucet/tap is because she dipped it in the mustard on your plate? No one's fault, but still ...

Had a relative who was butler to said Mr Coleman. Mr C was fond of telling folks he had become rich from what people left on the side of their plates. I can't stand the stuff.

I'm glad you found a winner. I had to buy a new one last year and it is already starting to rust inside and the paint is peeling. It's a fairly decent make -- Hamilton Beach -- but I won't be taking it with me when I move.
