Morning All
clinging on with 6.7 today. @Ryhia hope the dental treatment happens and it may well be affecting BG. @Overwhelmed hang on in there Diabetes is a mystery. Have a good Tuesday all.

What a lovely "Penguin mum" you are, always there with encouraging words and such positivity despite not always seeing the results you would like. All those little penguins are just so fortunate to have you as their mum. Blessings to you.

After moaning about things yesterday. FBG was 5.4 today :) - Shiraz along with a few munchy (wish I hadn't) snacks has that effect on me, at least in the short term. Definitely need to get my 10,000 steps in today. See you all tomorrow. ;)
 
I'm celebrating my birthday with a 4.8

Tomorrow, it will be 4 weeks since the health check that brought the word diabetes crashing into my world. In those 4 weeks, I haven't eaten a single potato or packet of crisps or slice of pizza. No plate of chips, no pastry of any kind and no pasta. Also, I've had no soda, cordial, alcohol or ice cream/candy. I've never smoked, so it would be cheating to include no smoking in this list

I have also walked 4 or 5 miles per day every day without fail.

So, what to allow myself as a birthday treat I've already said no surprise birthday cake, but I will be eating lunch outside of the house for the first time, so I wonder how I'll treat myself. I'll report back tomorrow on what I did
 
Morning all. 4.9 with first swipe here in L.A . Looks like Summer but colder here. @Stu1969uk happy birthday and top work since that shock. @Estragon praying for that procedure to get done. @Ryhia praying for that dental issue to be resolved and HbA1c to reflect how disciplined you are. @PenguinMum you're just a superstar anyhow. @DEBBIESCOTT Larry is probably suffering from fatigue working out all the bg changes from your exercise regime. Now, make your own kind of music folks.

Yes, you should test immediately on getting up. Taking a shower or any other activity will make your BG go up. :)

Oh I didn’t know that! I’ve fed the dogs, brewed coffee and taken them out in the garden before I test mine. I’ll do it as soon as I sit up in bed, thanks for that tip.:)
 
Morning All. Still clinging on with 6.6 this morning. Now @Ryhia don’t make me blush... I love this thread and see it as a Supporters Club and I benefit from it so much. As @RosemaryJackson said yesterday we all feel “can I opt out please” a lot of the time especially when we don’t get the numbers we deserve. But we have to carry on carrying on, no choice. Happy Wednesday everyone.
