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

[SaskiaKC]

6.2 Wednesday morning. I woke up with 3 itchy bites on leg. I have a doctor's appointment after lunch; doc thinks I have another UTI. This will be the third one since I started taking SSRIs. They're supposed to help with anxiety/panic attacks but UTIs and bug bites cause anxiety and panic on their own. Right now FBG is the least of my concerns.

I'm watching my usual Magnum breakfast program. His client is competing in an international show jumping championship -- at fences more like Pony Club height!

There's nothing wrong with a little 'romantic' subterfuge DJC...enjoy yourselves.

Welcome to the world of men...

 

[jjraak]

I know Debs wasn't allowed to mention any names on the programme but hopefully she can get the word out the other place is not the holy grail of T2 diabetes management.

It's like Vichy France really isn't.. Under the yoke, scared to speak openly...oh dear.
Viva la resistance.

And as to the 'other place', SO not being the holy grail, i only slightly disagree. It's NOT the holy grail but it IS very Monty python-esque.

Ministry of silly diets, anyone...

 

[jjraak]

@Debandez well done you were confident and convincing. Wish they had left Dr Zoe out talking about “cals”. Your bit was way better!

Agree fully... Just needed debs on point ( fine job our lass) and Holly following that point up... But as said, limited by gagging orders probably about what they could Speak of..... No one wants to see their gravy train derailed..

Love the enthusiasm you have for the horsey side of things... That I would not of noticed.

Hugs for the day, hope you feel better and get sorted ASAP.

Still good numbers, mind

All this banter, and I haven't wish you a happy anniversary @DJC3 ..... Happy anniversary.

Enjoy the night, enjoy the meal..

Suzie loves the walk and really doesn't mind either the brushing or the hair clippers but approach with the claw clippers and it's 'get thee behind me satan'

Hope your day treats you kindly

OK, I'd decided not to post this the other day ... but now I will ...

The Things We Do For Love ...

I had the brilliant idea of giving myself a pedicure by the KittenCat's grooming station so she could observe and realize that it doesn't hurt and that the less of a fuss you put up, the less time it takes. She was actually very good that day for her own pedicure. Our practice is one treat per paw and this time she seemed to remember she was in line for treats before the claw clippers came out. Win-Win. ^. .^

5.6 and another day begins.

Following on from events that occurred yesterday and subsequent disturbed sleep I think I'm in a bout of maudlin cognitive dissonance. Happens sometimes, and is part of my co-morbidity. Cogito, ergo sum is insufficient at such times of forced reflection and despite knowing what happened I am challenged by new data. I am acutely aware that reality is an individual experience that only exists within the dark cavern of my 'mind', just as I know the senses are both fragile and fallible. Humanity avoids that ideology by believing that mass agreement will cause a realisation of some 'actual' truth, when it could just as easily cause mass hysteria.

Anyway, the rains have started which, in turn, demands more coffee before going into the world.

Hello, neighbor (and I thought I was the only one visiting this State of Mind [hmm, wonder what the ZIP code iis for this state ... ])

Coffee, you say? Ah ... OK, I just found the cafe here ...

Hug for the UTI and bites but love that Magnum has an equine element for you to critque. Good on ya and hope Dr sorts UTI.

@gennepher, I grew up with these:

Also yellow jackets:

... a wasp so fierce, one of my hometown colleges named its football team after them:

@DJC3

Have a nice evening
Congratulations

 

[PenguinMum]

@Cumberland sorry for the delay but even more sorry about your awful night of hypos. I so hope the medics can come up with some help for you. Meanwhile we are all hoping this horrible phase comes to an end asap.

I just saw a HUMONGOUS butterfly outside my window. His wings were bright yellow and he looked as big as a sparrow. I don't know what he was doing way up here. I don't think even sunflowers grow 12 stories high.
