Don’t diss my birthplace Ian! One of my birthday cards read - you can take the lass out of Yorkshire but you can’t take Yorkshire out of the lass! My mum can’t wait to get back to her bingo ...........Isn't there a UN Convention banning that kind of cruelty - Yorkshire?Nice number btw but not sure it excuses that kind of treatment of senior citizens.
@shelley262 don’t listen to him -Yorkshire is a beautiful and fine place. Whereabouts in this enormous county are you heading?Isn't there a UN Convention banning that kind of cruelty - Yorkshire?
Good morning @LornaFarrell. This condition can be very frustrating and well meaning wallies like me trying be helpful may not help. However, at lest you test and know where you are which has to be better than having no idea. Plenty of people on here have started with high levels and used the wisdom of these boards to gain control.14.7 this morning, getting very frustrated with these stupid numbers!
The South Yorkshire bit - near Barnsley - my birthplace and where mum still lives.
Shared a flat at Uni with a 2 Yorkshire lads @shelley262 and remain friends 40 years on with one. Strange breed and when they become "professional Yorkshiremen" I don't think they are being ironic. The only saving grace is they are not Welsh - (Mrs P doesn't read this so no visits to A and E)

There, just made things worse but I was trying to help
@LornaFarrell one way to carb count is to use the nutritional information on supermarket websites. Another is to simply google carbohydrate in whatever food. There are also apps for free - mine happens to be built into my fitbit. Anyhow, dropping from 20 to 14 is a major improvement.Thanks Ian, I’m caught in an annoying trap where one consultant told me I was T1 but another disagrees (because “fat people cant be T1” basically!) so I don’t have access to training on carb counting and am trying to figure it all out on my own. Dare say I’ll get there in the end, a few weeks ago I rarely saw less than 20 so that’s an improvement

OK. I gather that is a real issue. Plenty of insulin users on here who may be able to help. This is an incredibly helpful place. I guess you would call it the acceptable face of Social Media.
I'm on a fast again so numbers down.
Have a great day everyone.
Hi Lorna don’t stress, lots of help on here14.7 this morning, getting very frustrated with these stupid numbers!
I live between Barnsley and Huddersfield- lovely part of the world.
good morning all
4.3 today
a breezy 11'C and quite cool here at the moment, we had torrential rain yesterday evening which seems to have knocked the temperature down quite a bit. I need my woolly now that I don't have my internal jacket
@Ziggy2017 nice pic
@Debandez Thanks so much for the work you are putting into making this event happen, I wish I could be there in person to meet you and the others, but, hopefully next time
Not sure about clementine cake - it depends on how you react? It may be worth you experimenting with a bit of the fruit to see how you react unless lots of family willing to eat the cake if it spikes you! Personally it wouldn’t be on my list but that’s partly because I try to keep under 20g and avoid all fruit except for a few berries and I’ve now found some cakes that work for me. Good luck if you do and let us know. Journey not until tomorrow but thanks for good wishes it’s preparation day today!
Def “waving at you time” tomorrow then ! I’m up often helping mum out.
