10.5 sitting on the edge of my bed at 03.20. By the time I got through to the kitchen it was 9.7. One cup of coffee and insulin later - 12.5. On my 2nd cup of coffee now and we'll see how it goes.
Hi @karen8967, so lovely to see your post. Great FBG score.Hi everyone im backbg this morning was 5.0

Blimey, I only use a lancet once.12.7, retested other hand 10.7
Apart from a swig of cherry coke to help tablets go down (some brands of Metformin resemble miniature dishwasher tablets) I ate pretty well yesterday so didn't trust the first reading.
Unfortunately a combination of blunt lancet, scarred fingertips and clumsy aim of test strip towards blood drop meant I had to resort to both little fingers. It's true, they really do hurt more than the others
I have discovered a pimple on my chin which is such a rare occurrence these days I'm wondering if my week of extra high BGs may be hormonal.
Does anyone else find their lancets only last about a week? I keep hearing of people who only change theirs every year or even less often!
What a splendid piece of art. Very effective.Fbg 6.5
Encaustic painting...
Still tidying, sorting, and throwing out...
Taking a long time...
Night night

Thank you @gennepherI like this tree very much @dunelm
Thanks dunelm xHi @karen8967, so lovely to see your post. Great FBG score.
Brilliant artwork @dunelm I like it.Good morning everyone on another splendid start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north.
5.2 this a.m.
A full on day yesterday which included The Girl In The Bubble receiving her first swimming certificate and of course, a cloth badge and two exhausted grandparents.
Swimming baths this morning so I expect that the now ‘expert’ swimmer will be holding court even though the other three have been able to swim for several years - but they will be encouraging.
Art bit - a new ink - just a splodge to see the chlorophyl colour of it.
Hope your day is Friday. “Be satisfied with even the smallest step forward and regard the outcome as a small thing.”(Marcus Aurelius, Meditations.
Best make some koffy.
This sounds absolutely brilliant @Lamont DA late quick update, no FBG.
So, was picked up by family, this afternoon and spent a few hours in a nicely maintained garden with a younger woman, this woman was so glad to see me. This woman made me feel welcome.
This woman was coming to terms with the reasoning behind where she was. This woman couldn't wait to be back with the family. This woman asked me about my health and how I was doing.
This woman asked my granddaughter if she could look after her grandad.
This woman has certainly benefited from her time in this place.
This woman has definite plans after the escape is done.
This woman took me back to her bedroom. So I could tuck her in.
This woman was my Mrs L.
I am very happy that these things happened.
This woman still has major issues but it is not over. And it will not be easy.
as one of the carers has said, Mrs L has turned a corner.
and her mental health practitioner is so pleased with Mrs L.
Roll on the escape.
it is already arranged as a big family gathering.
and it is middle son's birthday tomorrow.
my best wishes to you lot as always.

Thank you @gennepherBrilliant artwork @dunelm I like it.
So glad that the short respite has done both of you so much good. Fingers crossed that things keep on improving and Mrs L becomes more like the woman she once was.A late quick update, no FBG.
