Glad I’m not the only one having difficulty re trophies etc - have managed once or twice but more by luck than judgement!!

Not testing so just lurking for now as I'm having fortnightly chemo, lots of scans (so no Swipey) and loads of detailed blood tests which include random blood glucose. Attached is Friday's so I'll assume bg isn't wildly misbehaving. Looking at the time the blood was taken well before I would have eaten but I would have had >3 litres of tea, probably 4. Interestingly, not bothered about cholesterol. @PenguinMum hug for sciatica. Take care.

FBG Fingerprick 8.1 Libre 9.1.

This cold has overstayed its welcome and can sod right off!

Not looking forward to my next A1C after a Cruise and then having a cold. Wonder how much difference being super strict for next 3-4 weeks can make.

8.6 - However I’m focussed and concerned but not worried at all. Comfort foods needed, HFLC just doesn’t do it for me. This last week not been the best times.

Stick in there soldier. The LC part is where to focus. Admittedly easier for those of us who adore salad and cottoned on to the idea that the swaps mainly don't work so just avoid them. What is courgetti all about?

Agreed. Courgetti is a total waste of something that tastes divine if sliced into rounds about £1 coin thick and then fried very slowly in a mix of butter an olive oil.

7 this morning - stressful couple of days and have not been testing but still eating right. Front bedroom is like a bombsite at the moment! Who would have thought things could accumulate so much! Off to charity I guess

5.5 this morning. I should be pleased enough but just a bit too much going on at present. MRI to do with my cervical stenosis on the 14th, (urgent referral) and my annual Foot and eye check on the 16th. Otherwise, good to go.
