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

31-01-2020
Mixed morning.
Slept bit late for me.
7.55am FBG 5.9 that's good.
Scales 47.1 down from 48.6 last week bad
Freezer not working Very bad.
Fridge is actually colder than the freezer!

Edited to add
Now got stress induced indigestion as well.
By 10.30 my Marvellous MrSlim had fixed the freezer. However everything in it will have to be regarded as potentially suspect. Eating all the prawns tonight.
But more bad news.. the living room light has broken down, flashing fluorescent is not something we can live with so expensive new bulb required.
Waiting to see if the day improves. Surely it must?

Sending hugs for the lurgy, hope it doesnt linger. I prescribe soup, sofa, rug, tv and kittens.
 
5.5 this morning. Dogs walked, Aldi weeks shop done, had coffee and am now reading forum. I really should start doing the admin but would much rather be sitting in the conservatory in my reclining chair reading everyone's posts - with yet another coffee.
 
@gennepher what a handsome boy your Popeye is and what a talented lady you are.
I was watching an interview with a man in Wuhan earlier in the week who had a Chinese wife and a few weeks old baby. They havent been able to have any of the usual medical checks on the baby due to medical centres being no go areas. He had the dilemma of whether he should apply to travel to the UK and whether his wife and baby would be allowed on the flight. I hope you arent coming down with anything but as we know only too well BG can shoot up for no particular reason. Take care today.

Already got one of those. It's called a hubsta. Had it 33 years and has taught itself it 'switch off' when necessary. Funnily enough the word diabetes usually shuts it down completely ;-)

I have got one of those also - have had it for almost 51 years. The word diabetes also shuts it down completely and so do the words "you are eating too many carbs'.
 
5.1 today, a surprise as I didn’t get to sleep until after 3am. No idea why, just couldn’t drop off so kept getting up to make tea: PG tips bag in a mug, a dash of almond milk, (not boiled) I can drink any sort of downmarket tea and can’t tell the difference between them. Coffee is a different story.
@gennepher was Popeye a good sitter? It’s a lovely painting.
@PenguinMum sounds like you have a good relaxing weekend ahead with your son. Can’t beat a homemade curry.
@OldButBold thanks for giving my brain a little workout this morning- I thought it was Gaelic when I first read it! Good thing @ianpspurs was on the ball so quickly. In my defence I hadn’t had coffee at that point.
@HarryBeau sorry about impending lurgy again, hope it’s a fast lived one, doesn’t seem long since you got over the last one.
 

Thank you for Popeye's compliment

I was watching similar things on You Tube. I feel for them. Some heartbreaking options face them.

Resting day today. And I am going to do another painting in a few minutes...to disappear into it........

Thank you @PenguinMum

You have a good day.
 

You need to try and catch up on your sleep @DJC3
Cat naps or a sleep later on if you can?

Popeye is a very good sitter...
He sits right under my chin pinning me down to my bed...
 
Your great run of FBG continues. Are you still following the DD menu? I found it interesting what you posted about 4oz protein/6 oz on bone recommended in DS. I dont adhere to that at home more 6oz and steak is 8oz. If I buy mince in packs of 400g or 450g I try to make three portions and freeze one which comes in handy for Mr PM on my omelette nights. Though Mr PM does get a bigger portion sometimes.
 
He was in the Navy, first word war, not sure where he sailed to though, good question the answer to which I will never know.
I'll jump on my bike and head north, might take awhile, get the paint ready.
 
5.8 today need to be lower as going to be testing the official guidelines soon! Decided to do one day and see what my CGM shouts at me.

Here is some good news!


And some bad....I'm getting behind again!!!!
 
So today has moved right along for us - ignoring newspapers and news. Contracts finally exchanged with completion next Friday; Holiday to same/normal hotel in Paphos booked for November - £400+ cheaper this year and no hoi polloi like Paul Hollywood kicking Julie's seat. Waitrose now have lacto free whole milk (- why that and not semi skimmed anyone?.) Bought a plumbers' brazing tool with gas canister - that will be soo much fun. Nothing I can do about fbg and LC WOE so more of the same please - England, Spurs and 49ers wins on Sunday will do nicely. Hope y'all are having a fun day too.
