What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

[ickihun]

How are you now dear ? Send you my love and best wishes ? So much you have to struggle with it is so sad

My fbg is 11.2 this morning. I've left a message for my dn as I've gained a stone of weight with constipation and fluid. Hba1c was done yesterday. My pain levels have rocketted out of control. Codeine doesn't work. See GP tomorrow and awaiting hospital dn to get back to me. 6wk wait for abdominal scan.... not 2 like gp said.

BG of 7.8 at 6.30am. Just can’t seem to get out of the sevens at the moment. Mind you the sticky toffee pudding last night does not help. Just felt like a morale booster

Here's a morale booster for you... I think I remember you posting BG at 3.3 a day or two ago. You can do it but no more puds. Have a great Granny Smith or some riotous raspberries instead. Today's number shows your your direction for today. Hope it's a lovely sunny one for you.

Hi everyone just got back from doctors Has my graft started bleeding this morning he's sending me to see district nurse for dressings until it dries up,he seems to think it's looking ok so I will be guided by him. Keep well everyone,@ Glenmac whilst I'm there this afternoon 3-15 pm I'll enquire if they know where you may get a wheelchair on loan to see if I can get some information for you, just a thought but in most towns now if your disabled there are shops near centre of towns that let you use electric buggys and chairs so people can get around they may be able to put you in touch with a dept. that could help! K Just thought of there name they are Motability shops

Take care Granny

Thankyou @Granny_grump_ and@DJC3 we have just looked to buy a wheelchair,and a receptionist at our health centre has offered to lend us one she owns.You are all very kind.
Bob worked with the elderly and social services before retirement so he's feeling a wee bit exasperated that everything is now such a hassle.

Glenmac so sorry about your fall

Thank you John.
Adding weight because cannot move for any longer than a few minutes than wham! it hits me like a brick. On top of constant right side internal pain.
Ive had a few days of horrendous school run in capabilities. School helped once I got on their premises but just 2 Street walk has been horrendous. Stopping twice as much but in agony. I've cried on way back after 20mins wait first. Luckily no one around. Sooo embarrassing.
I'm telling GP I need a wheelchair if no pain help ASAP.

@ickihun so sorry for all your troubles. Reading your issues. @Glenmac and @Granny_grump_ makes me very aware of a line from a priest in Hard Sun "What makes you so special?" Some of these posts are a bit deeper than Sunday's sermon for sure.
