Good morning all. 5.8 first thing. Rain here, but hoping for a break to do my walk. Still no alternator for my van, hoping it will come today. Hope everyone is well, have a good day.

Hug for the alternator issue bg level is good..
 
@ianpspurs Well I have been thinking of buying a GlucoRx HCT that measures blood glucose levels, ketone, and haematocrit but the strips are £15 + for 50. I also use the Codefree which is a cheap basic meter I also have an Accu-chek mobile but thats not cheap as you probably know.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who will be trimming their bushes today........ don't forget to recycle the clippings.

An unsurprising 7.5 for me this morning, after 2 days of hospital visits a little treat was consumed hehehe.

Well folks it's only Wednesday in Reading, I'm not sure what it is where you live, but remember this is the only chance you have, so throw caution to the wind and go for it, whatever it is.
 
good morning all

4.6 today

slept a bit later today and woke up feeling groggy, it's a bit overcast here but never mind, a quick walk will probably blow the cobwebs away
After getting mum's and our banking business and shopping done yesterday it had got really warm here so I managed to get in a quick evening walk whilst it was still 18'C, very enjoyable.

Hope your day is a good one
 
Morning All. 6.3 at 0800 better than yesterday but still not good. Cloudy in West Sussex but supposed to break through later. Filling the fridge and freezer with meals foe family off to Kent again on Fri for friends chemo 3/6 so over the hump after this one.
@johnpol sorry to hear about your dear Betty. Our animals can mean as much or more than family. I am sure she had a great life and knew she was very loved.
Have a good day everyone.
 
@johnpol very sorry to hear about your loss pets are very precious
@PenguinMum hope your plans go well - I’m filling freezer today too ready for family party on Sunday as OH hits 65 - a milestone.
@Goonergal hope you have some good days out during your break from work.

Bg 4.7 today hope everyone has a good Wednesday whatever your plans

Oh my goodness, hugs.. our eldest springer who is 15 had a stroke recently our youngest cocker was amazing throughout a proper little nurse. Thinking about you x
 
Morning everyone woke up feeling a bit low but according to my meter I’m 4.7 not doing much today my mum is going out to get the dreaded school uniforms for my brothers and I will be waiting for a couple of packages (one my dads new shoes and the other is a mustard fur coat for me for the autumn/winter) have a good day everyone
 
@rhubarb73 i had a slice of cottage pie last night I went from 5.5 to 6.7 don’t know how BG stayed that good btw God will forgive you for having a Cornish pasty
 

I’m so sorry to read this @johnpol I know how much it hurts - we lost our beloved little terrier a few weeks ago. My daughter said she felt guilty as the pain was worse than when we’d lost family members - but nothing and noone gives you unconditional love like a dog. Sending a virtual hug your way.
 
@DJC3 definitely hard to get over the loss of a pet my aunt had a Maltese called Angel I had a very special connection to Angel when I was sick with pulmonary hypertension she would lie on the sofa beside me and she would even go to sleep when I feel asleep on the sofa. A couple of years ago I suffered with anorexia my brothers and I stayed at my aunts house for a couple of days as my mum and dad were going to Rome for my mums birthday. Just being around Angel made my mood better and made me start eating properly sadly Angel was not very well at this point and would yelp if she was picked up unfortunately Angel had a tumour on the end of her spine and she was too small to operate on so my aunt and uncle had her put to sleep the day she was diagnosed R.I.P Angel R.I.P Betty and R.I.P Tilly

Its so strange how dogs know when we’re ill isn’t it? Tilly helped me get through cancer last year, just by being there and offering her silky ears for a stroke. Very therapeutic.
