Morning all, coffee in front of me and a 5.2 this morning. Best thoughts all.

https://www.thesleepdoctor.com/2017/11/20/magnesium-effects-sleep/. I've just done a 2 week supplement of magnesium as I thought it might help cramps. Cheap as chips and they say it helps sleep too? Maybe worth a try if you havent already.

Thanks for that @OrsonKartt. Looking at foods high in Magnesium most are high on my list of likes and feature frequently when I have control of my environment. May be an idea when I can't control things.
 
4.8 this morning and to make work that bit more bareable I have a rare date night to look forward! :) Well, Date night makes it sound exciting when in reality it’ll be me no doubt sitting in the cinema in floods of tears at a star is born while my better half sits scoffing nachos and popcorn and telling me to sob a little quieter

Like the cut of your better half's gib enormously:angelic:
 
Morning everyone. Hasn’t stopped raining here and one of my bedroom windows won’t close properly so I have a mini flood going on.

5.8 this morning, higher than it’s been all week which I assume is due to a huge steak Mr C cooked for my tea - it was fantastic but too much protein probably.
I certainly dont regret it.

Hope it’s dryer where you all are - I think it’s set for the week here.

Didn't you get the memo/whatsapp re carnivore diet? - huge steak (define huge 400 gms plus?) may not be sole cause. I heard a rumour gin and soda and red wine were spotted in your area.:angelic: Hope the flood is sorted soon.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and to the family of ducks I saw this morning walking past my house wearing wellington's and carrying umbrellas.
A gentle 6.4 awaited me this morning.
Well today folks Mrs J has got the whip out, no not the handcuffs and whip, the decorating whip out, so that's my day and the next few days totally screwed. I noticed my mates chaos and mayhem have disappeared.....wish I could.
 
I was 3.5 at 11:45 last night the only hypo symptom I get in the 3’s is that I usually wake up or struggle to fall asleep. So jelly beans later-non diabetic hubby helped by also eating jelly beans.. this morning I was I’ve got tea to celebrate

Tough week for me this week. I've been trying to get both my blood glucose level and weight down. I've been very strict with eating, so I think stress has been responsible. I've also had a bit of achilles tendonitis so I had some rest days or shorter workouts. I've been fasting more frequently than usual to counteract this.

Blood glucose was 4.9 this morning.

I did get a loss on my scale of 2 lbs (.91 kg) for a total of 54.99 lbs (24.94 kg) I'm now within 1.5 lbs of my lowest weight in over 25 years - 218.6 lbs today (24.94 lb). I measured my waist (don't do this weekly) to discover I've lost another 2", total of 7" so far which is good as I really want to reduce my visceral fat in my organs and around the waist.

Wonderful weight loss, well done you
