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

[gennepher]

I do love silver birches. We have a beautiful weeping silver birch in our front garde. We planted it before we found out that I was highly allergic to beech pollen - but I would never get rid of it because it is such a beautiful tree.

Yes @Krystyna23040
The tree pollen is bad, especially worse since the seasons don't know what they are doing, and we have more tree pollen the year round. It is a long pollen season.
I wouldn't get rid of it either!

6.7 this morning. Stay well, everyone.

This lifestyle promises much but has only consistently delivered weight loss, hunger and the feeling that "if that is what I should eat I'd rather not bother having anything."

I feel the same way, except for the weight loss -- wish it were delivering that for me!

Thanks @jjraak I didn't mention the real issue thought it might be overload...got ready in a flash (so unusual for me) threw some socks on thought flat brogues today have to get a move on...grabbed my best pair of Church's hurriedly slipped them bent to do up my laces someone had chewed through them?...I used up my store of expletives for the day before I left the house...thanks for the thanks I needed a decent score today!

 

[HarryBeau]

I agree but people on the move can find it very difficult to find proper handwashing facilities.

I agree and have my bottle of hand sanitiser in my bag ready & waiting.

4.1 on waking. Had a glucose tablet along with breakfast, which pushed me up to around 6.8 for the rest of the morning. I should have trusted in my glucose to enlist the Dawn Phenomenon; I probably would have been in the fives without the dextrose. Back to 5.1 an hour after lunch though so not too bad .

Gosh what a start to today...sorry did make me laugh though about the chewed laces. They get everywhere! Good news at the clinic and dont worry about the BG bcause that will come down!

 

[PenguinMum]

My hand wash post was supposed to be a jibe at our PMs advise, sorry if it came over otherwise, I agree take care especially with other health issues.

Haha jibe at our PM all you like you will get no criticism from me. I have just found a recipe to make my own sanatising gel. Fill required bottle one third with cheap vodka, add 15 drops each lavender oil and tea tree oil, the fill to the top with Aloe Vera gel. Shake to mix and hey presto. Off out to buy vodka and Aloe soon.

 

[HarryBeau]

.sorry did make me laugh though

I only laughed on the way home PM...honestly they are little so an so's

Three weeks time and she gets the full works

Thank you to all those of you who wished me good luck for my DN review of results.
She was pleased with me and is finally getting used to me mentioning LCHF

Liver function - normal,
Lipids - total cholesterol 4.8 (up a bit), HDL 1.5 /LDL 3.00 / Trigs 0.6 / Ratio 3.2

I had a lovely walk in the rain a little while ago on my way home from the grocery store. I had on my old barn rain jacket and I could hear the drops pattering on the hood and on the sleeves, and feel them on my back, but except for my hands I was as dry as unbuttered toast. I had my umbrella, but I was holding it over my shopping cart so my cat food wouldn't get wet.
The rain has stopped now, and the sun is shining through the clouds, but I'm glad I went out earlier, when it was misting, because on the way home it was pouring, and it was fun, including the puddles.

 

[PenguinMum]

You sound like a big kid I bet you like jumping in puddles as well! I like “dry as unbuttered toast” very much.
