Message: <blockquote data-quote="Peanut234" data-source="post: 2763605" data-attributes="member: 582739">12.0 this morning.The appointment of the day went well. Our optician is both highly intelligent, and kind. Runs her own practice and knows her stuff. She has checked my eyelid cyst and agrees it needs dealing with. Thankfully the eye is not affected yet, but if we leave it, it can be. She explained it as most probably 'a case of blocked eyelid plumbing which the immune system is getting annoyed with' and won't resolve itself. She has a contact who she refers things like this to. She even managed to adapt her eye photo equipment to take some photos for the referral. Such a refreshing experience!Oh, and prescription slightly different but wait to hear about the insulin pump as that will change things. Interestingly she told me that some diabetics used to have different glasses for different times of day as their blood sugar changed their prescription. The higher blood sugar makes us more long sighted. My day of cooking turned out to be a half day after a sleep in/nap. Tried 4 new recipes, and 3 are good. Thought I would really suffer the next day but my hips were OK Ish - which is brilliant considering. Toe was not impressed though. Interestingly my blood sugars have been coping better with the vegan food I made which is interesting. I wonder if it is those pesky dairy products stretching out things.  I have enjoyed the day of eating leftovers from the fridge<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Endocrinologist appointment tomorrow about getting a pump. Even the optometrist was very positive and enthusiastic about it. Which was a shock because her usual demeanour is quite quiet and restrained with the odd small pun or polite and tasteful joke. I have all my fingers and toes crossed.</blockquote>
