Thats good to hear. My first one is Wed 29 May so about 10 days time. I just want to get on and start the treatment. Would you advise keeping the diary clear and taking it easy for a couple of days after?
still they're both 'fasting' tests I suppose ) I also mostly just test my fasting bg in a morning, if I'm unsure of the effect of a new recipe and very occasionally as a cross check on an existing recipe. I'm definitely a bit too 'detail orientated' if I'm not careful so I'm pleased I'm managing to keep testing down to that level now.
That could possibly be the most useful/practical post I have ever read on here - no offence to anyone else and obviously huge dollop of confirmation bias. No animal in the wild has meal times and as my dad always said, "you don't see a pig at Addenbrookes". Thank you so much, especially as anyone can see from your numbers you know that of which you write. As regards extended family members, big gatherings do now tend to be funerals rather than weddings and it is frightening how much cousins start to look like their parents.Good morning all
4.8 this morning
actually that's an average of two tests, one I did in the very early hours when I staggered out of bed to get a drink of water which was 5.0 and the 4.6 when I actually 'got up', I tested again because I realised I'd been half asleep earlier and hadn't washed my hands
I'm creaking a bit after our trip yesterday, four and a half hours drive each way to mr. gee's cousin's funeral which was scheduled for 10.15am. Would have liked to take a proper break in transit but the torrential rain made it impossible to get a decent walk.
When you don't see some extended family very often it's always a shock to see how much older everyone looks, (but they probably think the same about us
It's looking brighter here this morning so hopefully I'll get a bit of garden tidying done here before we go over to mum's and then a walk with her dog later. Both of which will be therapeutic
@ianpspurs I concur about trying the 'grazing' I know that it's supposed to be 'bad' but I do it rather than having 3 discrete meal times because my body doesn't appreciate being hungry now that I don't have the huge buffer of fat I used to carry about with me. I have one or two 'meals' and then 'snacks' when I feel the need. Feels more natural to me now
Hope your day is treating you all kindly
Yes it was incredible...I was saddened to hear he'd taken his own life in the end credits...tragic.
Just got back from a walk with 'Plumpy' Krystyna...we almost had the park to ourselves a lovely light breeze & the mist was sweeping over the grass....enjoy your lunch
Get sheep alf - to state the BO
Sounds like a sensible idea. Sometimes, Mr B has bounced back very quickly and had very little discomfort. But we have had a couple of times where it has taken him a few days. Things have been much better since we realised he had become over sensitive to the iodine they use. They now use something else and his eyes are less sore and irritated afterwards. They'll give you advice about looking after your eyes afterwards, but if they give you drops definitely use them. The iodine can make your eyes very dry, which in turn can make your vision more blurry. Oh, and he usually takes a couple of ibuprofen straight afterwards, which seems to help. I'm sure you'll be fine. If you have any questions either before or afterwards, just give me a shout. I'm not posting everyday at the mo, but do check the forum regularly. xx
Thanks so much for that very helpful info and I am sure I will get back to you with questions once I get going.
