Great start for you @ziggy_w and thanks for the mention. Not totally convinced by less stressed but I haven't tested really since Dec 14ish and had no alcohol since about Boxing Day plus swapped coffee for cocoa. I also think deep down I understand huge swathes of how others deal with their condition are fascinating but not for me. Have a great dayGood morning all.
@shelley262 and @Goonergal -- Thanks for the welcome back, will try not to let it lapse again. Walking football sounds like a lot of fun, @Goonergal. Do you play every week?
@ianpspurs -- You do sound a lot less stressed lately.
Blood sugars were 4.7 this morning.
Have great day everyone.
Great photo and that would have given an excellent view and amazing experience so a day to treasure.View attachment 31235
The little guy had a great day. Chinese New Year celebrations in Manc were really good and then 6-0 v Chelsea.
I’ll have to catch up with Spurs on MOTD2 later.
Hope the walk helps with the sneezles and you eventually pluck up courage to try the carrot cake sponge. Those mints sound good but not worth a 40/50 mile round trip for me unfortunately. May be worth us looking for flavourings to make dark chocolate palatable. to me now I am honest enough to admit I won't eat the huge stack we have anymore as it is.good morning all
4.6 today
thinking of a quiet day today, I seem to have a mild case of what my nephew used to call 'the sneezles' this morning but it's not too bad outside so I will probably go out for a walk later to see if the fresh air will help
I didn't get around to trying a carrot cake version of LC sponge yesterday, I wussed out on grating the carrot and reached for the cocoa powder instead
I was in Home Bargains on Saturday and found a bag of Elizabeth Shaw 70% dark chocolate thins. I think they are intended for corporate use because they are individually wrapped,, each bit weighs around 5.5g. (so @ 2.5g of carb each), a bit higher than my usual chocolate but worth having because they are easy to carry around and portion control. If they have any left I might get a couple more bags.
Hope your Monday treats you kindly
Last year ( 2017) my sister gave me a chocolate making kit. Everything in it was organic including mint essence. Somehow I havent found time / motivation to get round to making it but I couldnt resist trying some of the cocoa butter which is amazingly like very, very bland chocolate. For myself I like the 90 -95% blocks which are readily and instantly available in the shops .... but making your own doesn't seem to be a massive project if you have time.... ?Hope the walk helps with the sneezles and you eventually pluck up courage to try the carrot cake sponge.

So glad to hear you are feeling better. I've not been able to catch up on the forum properly for a few days so hadn't realised you were under the weather! Have a good day xMorning All. 5.1 at 0700 which is a minor miracle. Huge thanks to you all for your good wishes. I think its time to (wo)man up now its just a cold and I do think its retreating.
@SB.25 I am sorry you are having such a rough time of it and hope you get some help when you see your Consultant this week.
@rhubarb73 what a lovely Dad and son pic days like that are very precious. Does your lad play football too? Our eldest played for the local team from U8 through to U16 and we spent all those Sun mornings out in all weather at every match. He won a Nike competition once and got to play on the old Wembly turf and we cancelled a holiday abroad to be there. Happy days.
Have a great Monday if at all possible. Stay safe, stay well.
After Brexit "sans" will only work in certain situations which are yet to be determined . As I type a well paid committee is being set up to decide where and when it will be appropriate. The committee is publicly funded and are paid by the hour and headed by politicians so the decision may be some time in arriving....Good morning everyone, a 4.9 at 0700.
Have a great day if you can, just cherishing my marathon four hours sleep last night sans coughing. Will the word “sans” still work on here post Brexit?
To be honest though I do like dark chocolate I some times snag a couple of chunks off Judith's Cadbury's Oreo bar two chunks works out to about 5gms of carbohydrate so not all that bad occasionally.Hope the walk helps with the sneezles and you eventually pluck up courage to try the carrot cake sponge.

Lets hope you get a confirmed diagnosis this week SB...it seems such a long wait for confirmation...how frustrating for you.Woke up this morning to a 9.7. Very happy to be in single figures! Let’s hope that this will be a good week
Thank you! It has been a lot 3 weeks... at least the DSN’s have been on hand and have been helping me increase my insulinLets hope you get a confirmed diagnosis this week SB...it seems such a long wait for confirmation...how frustrating for you.
Thank you! I’m even more surprised they have stayed at 9 this morning and not yet shot upAn average of a couple of readings gives me a disappointing 6.2 this morning. Maybe lack of exercise yesterday, maybe a slightly higher carb than usual dinner. It seems there is no such thing as a day of rest allowed any more.
@PenguinMum I’m glad you’re finally on the mend.
@shelley262 enjoy your gym day. I love swimming too but don’t like the palaver associated with getting hair dry etc in the winter.
@SB.25 I hope your appointment this week gives you some useful info, at least a diagnosis. Good to see you in single figures today.
