Good morning DJC3. Welcome back. Iceland sounds wonderful. Strangely I had a pretty restful day yesterday with less pain than usual but do feel a bit under the weather so who knows? 6.5 is still in range. I would be delighted with that. Best wishes.6.5 this morning.
Back from a wonderful trip to Iceland where I had a few nasty bg shocks after eating what I thought would be fairly low carb dinners. I can take back control now with any luck.
@dogslife is it pain that’s giving you a higher number? Hope you get seen soon.
@flexi06 hope you enjoy the Xpert course, a friend of mine said she found it helpful. I did DESMOND and found it hopeless.
@karen8967 I think you were going on a Dafne course before I went away, hope it was useful.
@ziggy_w Thanks we will enjoy ourselves especially now the last few months are now sorted it's been a truly memorable time,Good morning ziggy_w. My husband and I had a similar experience with a nasty strain of flu a few years ago so we sympathise. It took a long time to recover fully. I sincerely hope it is finally out of the way for you and that you stay well. I have to wait for the consultant to be back at work and for the hospital to reschedule my appointment so don't have any idea yet. Best wishes.
You'll be dancing soon.6.5 this morning.

Thanks it tomorrow so will let you know how i get onI’m really glad, it sounds like a worthwhile thing to do. I hadn’t realised it was 1:1, that’s great. Good luck for this week.
Thank you.@dogslife there’s no knowing sometimes with bg is there? Hope you can stay rested and comfortable.
@flexi06 Icelandic food was unexpectedly lovely. Breakfast was easy: standard hotel fare, swerving widely past the yummy looking bread and pastries.
They have a traditional meat soup which is lamb based, thin salty broth with small bits of veg and lamb in it. Really tasty but gave surprising bg spike >2
Lots of lovely fresh fish and lamb, a bit pricey but well worth it I think. Do go if you get the opportunity it’s breathtaking.
@SueJB hope to be dancing again soon - I took Jason Fung’s Diabetes Code for holiday reading so I’m feeling inspired and motivated. Amazingly the couple next to me on the plane were big fans of his too, although not diabetic they follow lchf for other health reasons so we had a really interesting chat for the duration of the flight ( to the amusement of my family who get fed up with my evangelising)
