Sorry about the ulcers. They really hurt! And thankyou for the lovely photo.
Good morning everyone
Woke up at 5:00 AM with glucose at 5,0 mmol. Went on my usual 5km morning walk, tested glucose again, you guessed it 5,0mmol/l again! The fifth (of April though not of May) also happens to be my birthday.
Decided to take one day off work. I realize that although my mind knows that last week's tests are now successfully over, my body has not yet caught up and I am still showing signs of stress: not sleeping very well and I have a mouth full of ulcers, a tell tale sign with me since I was a child that I am stressed. The idea of more work related pressure simply does not appeal. I need some down time and some me time even if just a day.
Hope you are all having a good start to your week.
Nearly understood all of that Italian spiel! Just gotta look up a couple of new words!Buon giorno a tutti voi da tutti voi i girasoli diabetici a basso tenore di zucchero. This morning in a scene akin to the worst excesses of none other than Stephen King's imagination I awoke to find a mole with a mallet perched on the end of my bed. No, no no I haven't been eating cheese or even LSD. It really was there. Mr Mole hit me about the head 4 times and my morning blood sugars are at 4.0mmols. I am now going dog walking and then to work where I will nurse the lumps in my skull. May you all have a very good day and an excellent week
On reaching 50 years old ... I was told that 50 is the new 40!! Life begins again!!And you @debrasue are a sweetheart
I’m at 6.5 today, slowly coming down. Sticking to strict low carb now (I even resisted fins and chips yesterday during a low moment!) - off for a morning swim shortly and gym later. Want to be firmly in the 5’s before my birthday next week ... 49
Life as an ‘in control’ diabetic is so much better
How about a complimentary therapy? Check out your local college... they offer free/very cheap sessions to practice their skills:Enjoy your me time I know exactly how it feels, my stress levels keep me awake about 4 hours sleep most night and chewing gums due to anxiety. I need to find other things to do to alleviate it but not sure what. Hope you start to feel less stressful very soon. K
How about a complimentary therapy? Check out your local college... they offer free/very cheap sessions to practice their skills:
Indian Head Massage
Aromatherapy (Massage)
Reflexology
Massage
the possibilities are endless.... all of the above I find to be beneficial for relaxation/de-stressing
I recently had a 30 min session of Indian Head Massage at a local spa and slept 6 hours straight!!
I go for regular Acupuncture therapy too, yes I know! More needles!! But more of a pressure feeling than sharpness... honest!
I was advised to change my diet, quite drastically... would not suit everyone! But it is helping me
