I have said it before and will keep saying it but you @ianpspurs and all the other members of this forum who have been there for me from my first post when I was upset and confused have guided me, infused me with knowledge, answered every single one of my questions brushing aside how many times they had answered them before, at whatever time of day or night @Rachox. Money could not buy you that. My diagnosis was not only a wake up call but a blessing in disguise. I've never felt better. My family have been amazing. I've had my head buried in my phone or some article about diabetes since 8th December. I have got my head around so.much but there is still a lot to learn. But yes you are right. I've come a long way and I'm feeling very proud of myself, good about myself and very happy. Thank you
 

Thanks for your kind words @Debandez I understand completely your sentence “I've had my head buried in my phone or some article about diabetes since 8th December” only for me it’s been a year, even more so since I was honoured with my mod title. I derive huge benefits from this site and just try to pay back now whenever I can.
 
You give so much of your time. It's very much appreciated. I thought I might see you on the NHS awards programme last night you were robbed! X

I gave 36yrs of my life to the NHS, maybe my next 36yrs lie here! If I keep my Diabetes in check I might live that long!
 

Hi @Peridot67 - my mother, well into her 80’s, finds walking very difficult after new hips, knees and a re-built foot. She uses a walker. However she finds her exercise bike very doable, using it every day - is that something worth considering?
 
Good morning all, it’s a 5.7 this morning. Quite surprised as we walked into town yesterday evening and had pensioner portions of fish and chips on the beach followed by a handful of midget gems (weird pudding day?).
Have a great day if you can
 
Morning all 8.7 this morning Not sure what/s going on hardly ate yesterday as no appetite. Had small amount of cheese with some chicken breast. Later on had hand full of nuts and some roast beef. Only had these as I had to take my medication. Had extra black coffee and a 3 glasses of salt water and no alcohol at all.
 
That's amazing! Well done you!
 
Salt water!!!

5.4 this morning though had an after dinner reading of 9.7 and was still at 7.1 at bedtime haven't increased carbs but have increased prednisolone

Prednisolone will raise your bs's in my experience and all the switched on doctors agree. Have you increased your prednisolone under medical supervision ? A very dangerous side effect of this drug is it lowers your immune system. Take care.
