What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Where I want to be tomorrow is where I was the day before yesterday..

I would like to be back at Christmas 2006 only on Paxil as I am now so that I would actually enjoy riding Prince and not just letting him wear my antlers.

Good grief 12 years that is nuts.

 
fbg this morning..5.8
first visit to my diabetic eye test....not as bad as expected.
slight sting 30 odd seconds..blurry, test done and while blurry, not enough i couldn't have cycled home if need be.

Chap kindly let me see and explained what they look for..
he seemed to think not too much was wrong, so i pray the official word matches that verdict.

to celebrate, i treated myself to a slap up meal of.
1 quarter lb Beef burger, egg, butter nut squash and spinach coquettes 3 (delicious, btw)
some butter nut squash curly fries. ( reduced price so grabbed to try, just because.....(not so delish, but ok)
and a nice lettuce/onion/tomatoes salad.
and my secret vice...bread..oh the shame.
( But it was only one slice..and sourdough).

ate far too much (greedy tw@t) and pre meal (6;15pm) i was 6.2
1 hour after eating i was 8.3
i was out and didn't test until 9;15 pm
where i was 6.6..so i think if i eat less next time, that's maybe a yes for that meal.

wish you all a good night,
and see you all tomorrow.

ps ian, good result tonight..my boys got turned over by the wolves....

Already texted the CFC supporters in my family asking for Dances with Wolves for Christmas - very frosty replies (The 1 game out of the last 4 we lose had to be - can't mention the name)
 

I do like the term ‘social prescribing’ and yet again a big ‘well done’ to you!
 
I'm not sure how it will work on the privacy side of things but all will be explained soon no doubt. Patient confidentiality is paramount. I have worked for the government where I had to sign the official sectets act and more recently for a medical company and had to sign something similar.

Early days but it feels so positive already. Our CCG covers a massive area so who knows, if my initial talk gets some interest i may even have to travel! Bring it on. Am I getting carried away? Yes of course I am but I can dream
 

At the PPG and the diabetic meeting the cakes, sandwiches and biscuits are out in force and I mentioned to the PM I couldn't believe it. She has taken that on board thankfully. One to ones would be great. Good news about your friend too. Low carb is just so good, and not just to keep blood sugars balanced either.
 
Good morning all, 5.1 fbg I shall be tangling with the pipe fitters in the sprinkler pump room today, a nasty bunch of ne'er do wells. If I don't post tomorrow I am probably lashed up to the manifold, in the pump room "no one can hear you scream".
 
Morning...off to the anti-coagulant clinic ( I rearranged my appointment) shortly...hopefully I can get those ratios right this time. & extend the time between my next appointment...summoning up the energy to drink my coffee (it's all go here)...woke to a 5.6
