Good morning all. 5.3 today. Sticking with the keto, so far ok. Cutting out coffee for a few days to see if makes any difference to sleep. Sleeping ok, but an experiment for a few days cant hurt.
Sunny here at the moment, so out for a long walk.
@karen8967 enjoy your holiday.
I hope everyones well and their BG behaving. Have a great day.

@PenguinMum Sympathy for the bg and weather induced #moodgate scenario. You appear to be one feisty momma so I am sure you will tough it out but virtual hugs can't hurt now can they?

It would be an interesting experiment, if you watched something strenuous like the crossfit games or the boat race, would it lower your BG.

It would raise mine if Oxford won

@ianpspurs thanks for the virtual hugs. No 1 son spent all day in Manchester hospital yesterday suspected kidney stone but now looking like Diverticulitis. Texting back and forth all day. Didnt want me to come up which is just as well as am in Kent again on Friday. I think that makes me a momma and is tough.
Wouldn’t it be great if that worked? Would definitely be worth paying for the sports channels then.
Good luck with the coffee experiment. I intended to do the same as I’ve a feeling it is affecting my blood pressure - sometimes it’s high sometimes low, doesn’t seem much rhyme or reason to it until I considered coffee consumption. It was very low all last year, when I spent a long time in hospital, but the coffee there was horrible so I wasn’t drinking any.
I have failed at the first hurdle though and just made a big mug of filter coffee with cream. Giving up coffee is going to be far harder then bread or pasta!
@DJC3 Hug for watching GBBO more than the reading - I find the former much more alarming
I love it - we used to join in by making something to join in with each week’s theme ie biscuits on biscuit week, bread on bread week. Sadly don’t do that now but it’s still the only programme on tv I’d stay in for.
I’ll take the hug anyway, thanks.

Been away for a while due to the vagaries and tribulations of life, but today I felt that I had to do something normal, so... 5.8 this morning. Funny how I consider posting that 'normal'.
