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

Good morning all. Fasting blood sugars today were 4.2.

@Caeseji -- Happy birthday -- hope you have a ball of a day.
@DJC3 -- Great fasting levels today.
@ianpspurs -- Agree with @Freema, it might be worth experimenting with protein levels. I find if I have a largish steak at night, my fasting levels are higher.
@karen8967 -- So sorry about the hypo, sounds pretty bad. How are you feeling now?

Enjoy what's left of the weekend, everyone.
 
Good morning all and a happy mothers day to all the mums here, a 5.8 for me on the dice, had cheese on toast for tea, quite late due to having a difference of opinion with my chef du jour. Off upstairs with tea and toast to try and calm the waters.:blackeye:

Not too bad ziggy thankyou x
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all mothers, note not Frank Zappa's Mother's of Invention.
A worrying low for 4.6 this morning, good job I'm not driving or riding my motorbike. Keyboard or plinky plonky as I call it practice was also sounding more melodic, a sure sign things are not right.
Well folks did you put your cocks back, me's did, as me's went from room to room the clocks got set progressively further back. Mrs J is not happy hehehehe

Morning...gardeners world & coffee on a crisp sunny day great start to my Sunday...feeling better than I have been for the last five days...still haven't ventured out of the house so far this week maybe tomorrow...woke to a 5.7
 
Good morning! A rare luxury for me today, none of my cats woke me so I had a lie in until 7.30!

My blood glucose level was 7.6 mmol/L, which is a bit worse than yesterday.

Looks like I don't have things under control yet after all...

good morning all :)

4.9 today

worst fasting bg weekly average for two years for me this week :sorry: oh well, could be worse, hopefully it won't be ;)
perhaps this is my body 'normalising' (whatever that means), after my weight loss now that I've been relatively weight stable for a while.

Happy Mother's day to mum's and 'mum' figures everywhere :happy:

We're taking our Mum out for lunch today so I'm heading for an 'all day breakfast' type thing I think ;)
I've said it before and will, no doubt, say it again, any WoE that encourages me to eat bacon and eggs is ok with me :happy:

Hope your day treats you kindly :)
 
Good morning from somewhere on Britain’s somewhat quiet motorway network. Lots of people must be dragging unsuspecting mothers to local restaurants and pubs for lunch and champagne.
Anyhow. A bazzing 4.5 at early o’clock.
Have a wonderful mother’s day, unless of course you are waiting to celebrate in May.
 
5.7 today. Half a lidl roll with cheesy scrambled eggs today for breaky. A real treat.

Beautiful weather for mothers day. Massive hugs to those who no longer have theirs. Enjoy celebrating fir those who have.

12 years to the day since I lost my lovely lovely mum.

My social media post. I'm not typing this lot again Haha.

Such a poignant day today. Its mothers day and the day we lost our dear beloved mum 12 years ago after a short illness. She suffered for years with Ill health but was taken from us quickly in the end. What a woman she was. Everyone that knew her loved her. She was beautiful inside and out. Never without a smile. Always thinking of others. So caring. Very loving. No just wasnt in her vocabulary. A fantastic listener and giver of great advice. Loved a party. First to arrive and turned the lights out on the way out. Missed every single day. Never a day goes by when we don't think of you. I'm trying to be the best granny. Just as you were to our 2, but they are massive shoes to fill. Love you mum .

Posted 2 years ago. But i want to share again. And again....and again...

Today I want to talk about my mum. It is the 10th anniversary of her death. I can't actually believe it's 10 years. Those years have flown by. Never a day goes by without me thinking about her. Not only me but many people as so many people loved her. She was truly amazing. A little about her. She was born in Dublin 84 years ago. One of 13 brothers and sisters (although 4 died in childhood ). Money was scarce and it used to be first up best dressed!!!! Her dad was orphaned at the age of 8 and had to work from that age just to survive. And he worked very hard. Her mum was accomplished and could not only read and write but she could also play the piano. She taught my grandad to read and write and also to play the piano! There was always music in the Peate household. Life was tough but good times were had. Mum's first job was in a rock factory called Lemons and she gave half her wages up to help. When mum was a teenager she met a man who my granny didn't like because 'he never takes his hands out of his pockets!!' Arguments followed. My mum ended up leaving home and crossing the Irish Sea on the ferry (my granny shouted after her 'you will be back on the next boat!!!' This didn't happen!) to her older sister Lylie who had found work in a large hotel in Blackpool. My mum got her first job at the Metropole hotel. She lived in. She spent the whole of her first wage at the Pleasure Beach! It wasn't long before she met my dad who was head barman at the Derby arms pub (now libertys). They fell in love. Their wedding was small. Just the 2 of them and their witnesses as they had little money. They came back to their room after the wedding and toasted bread by the fire. But they were happy. She worked for many years for Yvonne and Solly Goldberg in a small b and b on Springfield road. She loved it. But it wasn't easy. She was a very hard worker and always went the extra mile. Her and dad lived in. She sent money home to her mum every month and visited when she could afford to. Mum and dad tried a long time for a baby. Eventually I decided to make a show and 10 years later came my sister. They couldn't have been happier. But my dad's health wasn't good and there were many struggles for them. Sadly my dad died at the age of 54. It was a massive shock and unexpected (heart attack). My mum was only 50. She was heartbroken. But her strength was incredible and she got through this awful time. I was 21 and my sister only 11. She never looked at another man (although they looked at her). She was an amazing mum to us. She was the best listener and gave brilliant advice all through the years. She always had the answers. At 24 I met and married Eric who she loved like her own. She was such a big part of our lives. We had our 2 and she looked after them whilst I returned to work. Also my sister's 2 children. She doted on all her grandchildren. Her health had deteriorated but she always said 'the children keep me going'. No wasnt in her vocabulary. She was a real family person. She had great relationships with her sisters and brothers too. She was particularly close to her sister Bernie. They were each others rocks through the many difficult times life can throw at you. They were always on the phone and wrote to each other every week. Her 70th suprise birthday party was so heartwarming. She could not believe how many people were there and how far people had travelled to be there with her (even Canada). 'All these people are here for me???' It was one of the only times I saw mum cry. Mum's health deteriorated over the next 4 years. Sadly she lost a short battle with cancer on this day 10 years ago. I will never forget the boosts my cousin's visits gave her most weekends she travelled from Edinburgh with her Drs bag. And also the almost weekly visits from her loving sister Bernie who flew in from Dublin. And my daughter who decided not to live in at university so she could be there to help mum who had by then been registered blind. Today i find myself here in her home town of Dublin. It wasn't planned. We come every year to visit family around this time. It feels very special that we are here today of all days. My auntie is going to bring out the photos later and we will talk ourselves silly about the good old days when we had mum in our lives. She may be gone but she will never ever ever be forgotten. Love and miss you mum. On a lighter note i think i can smell irish bacon and sausage cooking xxx
 
5.1 today.

@Debandez A bitter sweet day no doubt remembering all the joys your time with your Mum brought you and the sense of loss you must be feeling. Hugs to you.

For my self and Judith it's next month that we both will be having a similar feeling Mil passed 21st April 1981 and I lost my Mum on 6th of April 1995 two days after celebrating my son's birthday and nine day before my daughter's birthday.
