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


My mother was such a down to earth type. If we as children complained about the cold a frequent rejoinder from her was “ walk or run faster or jump up and down on the spot for 5 minutes”. Do believe that would be called child abuse nowadays LOL. Never did us any harm
 

Hi Freema
Good on you and good luck with getting back to your usual diet,you seem a little more positive hope so. We all lose the plot from time to time,I'm no different,can guarantee when I get back from a holiday it takes me 3 to4 months at times to get my diet head back on. That's why it's taken me so long to return to lower BG readings since last holiday in May this year. Take care .K
 

Hi Ymdawd
Totally agree with your mothers philosophy,you can warm up by moving quickly,working faster I always preferred to work in a cool environment because I could warm myself up but couldn't cool off enough to be comfortable if a room was too warm before starting work. We are a nation of softies we never had central heating it was a coal fire that needed making every morning,and most of my pre teenage years We has a loo at the bottom of a long yard. Can you imagine kids today putting up with any of that? K
 

Hi Diabeticliberty
Enjoy your day
,K
 

We ARE a nation of softies. I and my two big sisters walked several miles to school in all weathers winter and summer in the fifties and early sixties. We were sort of self-sufficient in food too as we knew the location of every bramble bush on the way to and from home. Fresh raw turnip was often on the menu in the autumn. Plenty of roughage there LOL The farmers orchard and strawberry patch served us well too. Ah thanks for the memories

That sounds fun mr d make sure you wrap up warm hope you hit all your targets
 
My brother and I also walked to school and even further to the church hall for our dinner,and where I live now and has a child we walked past lots of farms growing vegetables and all our mothers used to help in the fields at picking time. The farmer used to give us all a lift on the-trailer on back of the tractor after school so we joined our mothers in the field and helped out. Oh wonderful days. K
