Yes the older one is quite a handful. I have a vivid memory of a two year old as he was at the time, racing for all his worth along the top of the isles at Tesco, arms flailing, shouting "get out of the way, get out of the way" to anyone in his near vicinity. His father was chasing behind him, trying to catch him, I was bringing up the rear, neither of us stood a chance. They "reigned" him in after that. Enjoy yourself on your weekend off.

Thank you. Have a good weekend
 
Morning...a cool breeze wafting through the house...first coffee finished possibly another before I jolt myself into action...can I face an early food shop...no...more coffee while I check my emails...woke to a 6.5
 
5.2 at 08:10. Not sure where that came from compared to the last couple of weeks, but liking it!
 
5.5 this morning. Enjoyed Bohemian Rhapsody viewing at Luna Cinema last night at the National Memorial Arboretum and had a Pimms and Lemonade as part of the ticket deal, so quite pleased with that.......ate a Nine Bar as well. Had a small low carb dinner before the event as i thought the food being sold there would be very carby (it was) so I had hard boiled eggs, salad, kimchi before we went.
 
4.8 at 5:48a.m. Bit disorganized yesterday, didn't manage to eat until around lunchtime and that was only a fried egg, then was out at a family do later in the day, it was a buffet which contained very little I could eat. Ended up having the tuna and onion topping from a couple of open sandwiches, a spoonful of clotted cream from the jam and cream(make up yourself) scones someone had left and half a dozen almonds I had in my bag for emergencies. Too late to make a meal when I got home so just had a little bit of butter. Had plenty of water though.
 
I fully agree, @Bubbsie .
Your post has encouraged me. Thank you.
I have been at this for almost 15 years, and since 2011 have had well managed low numbers. The fasting always being highest. However, having other health problems this last year or so has been a struggle, with steroids thrown into the mix, and scary high fasting levels. We do need to look at the bigger picture, and not give up, or stop posting whether we are doing well, doing badly or just plodding along.

Friday, 6.3, Saturday 6.1, Sunday 6.5. With nice steady 5s throughout the rest of the time.

Its very similar to the blame game Pipp...I've often heard the criticism levied at T2's almost as if some believe it's deserved a result of our lifestyle choices...once diagnosed it shouldn't matter how we got it it's how we manage it that's crucial...sometimes however diligent we are those levels will rise irrespective...patience is required (a great deal of it).
