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

Morning all. You know you’re up way too early when you beat @Goonergal to the post
Only went to bed 3hrs ago but thanks to my mini me coughing constantly for the last 40 minutes we’ve decided to give up trying to get her back to sleep and get comfy on the sofa with a movie.
4.6 is my reading - took it now as the coffee is already brewing have a good day
 
Good morning all. It’s a 4.3 for me today.

Brrrr it’s cold. @Emma_369 sorry to hear about the lack of sleep. Way too cold this morning for my normal routine of lounging on sofa with the forum on waking - needed to get ready and dressed to keep warm! @DJC3 all those jumpers are coming in handy now the weathers turned: layering them today!
 
its so frustrating bubbsie these receptionists think their the drs sometimes hope you get sorted soon x
Thanks Karen...I spoke to the practice manager yesterday afternoon...they are so defensive...why not just say we are sorry...I'm with Elton John sorry does seem to be the hardest word!
 
There's not as much money in good standard advice...god forbid if they stopped the useless DESMOND courses...or our health care professionals promoted alternative effective ways to manage T2...profits could fall
 
Morning...up early with a stinking cold coming on (haven't had one for years)...after the recent debacle on the diabetes 'politics' front I am shattered...a little paper work...then food shopping...woke to a 5.8
 
good morning all

4.9 today

we did get the fan bits for Mum's oven yesterday and over we went to try to fix it it was a struggle to get the broken fan off because the bits were all baked together. Plus the oven is built into a unit, the glass door had to come off and it had to come out of the unit and onto the worktop to get to the back
mr gee did all the wrestling with the fan (strangely enough there isn't room for two humans inside the oven ) whilst I helped with the door which is mostly glass and weighs an amazing amount. We did a small happy dance round the kitchen when it was done and it worked

glad it came yesterday because we had snow during the night and it's frosty and cold here this morning. May leave it until a bit later to go off to our volunteering today

Stay warm everyone and I hope your day treats you well
 

Ha I knew you wouldn’t regret them
