Good aftenoon all. This morning was another 6.0.
Diabetis tribulations have been put in the shade by the more important suffering of the 3 members who have lost loved ones in a needless way. Thinking of you all. No words can help.
Try and have a good day everyone and stay safe. X

Good morning all. 5.8 this morning. A higher reading than lately, not surprising since yesterday was stressful with my mom's pain and I didn't exercise last evening.

I wanted to thank the people here for your kindness.

As more time goes by, I realize how important it is to share my son's name Graham and a little bit about him. If you are interested, there is a photo at this link. It was taken in Nov 2104 on one of our visits to his group home. He's age 24 here, wearing one of his favourite hockey sweaters. https://www.autismbrainnet.org/donor/graham-brown/ We donated jointly to both the Autism Brain Net and the North American SUDEP Registry so he is also on their page (same photo and text) with other people http://sudepregistry.org/our-stories/ ).

Graham looks and sounds like a wonderful son and very very sad that you didn’t have longer with him. My eldest has a similar mix of disabilities but not as severe and so I can appreciate what you’re saying. Graham was clearly special and is no doubt still very very missed. I would imagine too that what you are experiencing with your elderly parents puts you under much continued stress - do make sure you are kind to yourself and try to manage your carer stress as much as possible, you’re important too take care.

Hello all. A bit late posting today. Blood tests this morning, then had to hurry off to work, an important meeting I almost forgot about.

Blood sugars upon getting up were 4.3.

Welcome to the thread, @Jodie Louise.
Happy birthday, @Emma_369.
Looks like your son was a lovely person, @Chronicle_Cat.
Brilliant fbg, @Cumberland. Seems you are back to normal.

I have a dilemma. The lady I was dining with is my best and longest friend. Her daughter is getting married in the beautiful lake district in January. My first wedding in the lakes. Exciting. So last night she told me that the hen party is going to include an afternoon tea. My dilemma is do I go for it! Not hoovering everything up in front of me obviously. Has anyone had an afternoon tea as a treat and what effect did it have on your BS.

I would try to go if possible.

Is she hosting it herself or it being hosted in a commercial place (restaurant etc.) ?

If she is a close friend, I'd ask if you can bring some items to eat for yourself (explain that the usual afternoon tea items elevate your blood glucose level. If anyone asks why you aren't eating those items and have something else, I'd tell them "medical reasons - doctor's orders.) I'd also eat before I go and sit myself away from the items that aren't good for you.
