6.8 today which is a small price to pay for a slice of Mrs R’s Victoria sponge last night.
@ianpspurs it was and my perspective on life has definitely changed hence the little trips. I mentioned Amsterdam and that's next Friday.Sorry to hear of the sadness - hope it is not the kind that is always with one. If it is sometimes time can alter one's perspective.
Unfortunately for me I cave in to pressure way too easily. Now sat at a giant soft play that always makes me question why so many kids needs to squeal at such high pitched levels maybe when she’s 18 I’ll get that pyjama dayPyjama days are the best
I can fully understand sudden sadness changing perspective. The short breaks idea is next on my radar - probably from about this time next year. Enjoy the downtime today and Amsterdam.@ianpspurs it was and my perspective on life has definitely changed hence the little trips. I mentioned Amsterdam and that's next Friday.
But today my little madam is behaving 4.5, clearly the early pomelo supper did the trick. Still feel like imitating a sloth today.
Ive had grandsons since lunch time ones 4 and one 18 mths to say im worn out is an understatement i was supposed to go to theirs but they came here they have literaly just gone an im sat in the chair looking at the trail of chaos they have left behindUnfortunately for me I cave in to pressure way too easily.

Welcome jjraakHi all..
First timer on here.
(nice idea for a post, btw.)
diagnosed early october T2D
getting over the shock if i'm honest, made the advised changes, and now on metformin, 2 x 500, soon to be 4x500.
part of me wants to be in charge and more aware of whats IS going on with the Diabetes,
so despite the advise i started testing (codefree) each morning on waking..(not sure if that's best practice but i like to know)
Seems to be a more common level for me, once i was diagnosed, so todays was again 6.2mmol...
not sure if that's good, still hunting info, and there is a whole load of information i am currently trying to absorb....
such as....i never had to think so hard about what i can eat, that's for certain.....lol
cheers all.
thanks for having me.
have a great day.

You most definitely deserve a relaxing evening then! Nans and grandads are truly wonderful! And my mom always says she has the pleasure at the end of the day of sending the chaos back home to meIve had grandsons since lunch time ones 4 and one 18 mths to say im worn out is an understatement i was supposed to go to theirs but they came here they have literaly just gone an im sat in the chair looking at the trail of chaos they have left behind

@Cumberland
I went to a Salvation Army church service once. Very interesting and very good.
@OrsonKartt
Can you say more about the piper please? We don't have anything like that here but it is the sort of thing I would get up early and go out for. I am remembering one Sunday morning at the Kirking of the Tartans when I heard a piper coming up the hill.
@PenguinMum
Mum's the word. Y'all have inspired me now to have just that sort of Sunday. Cat is in full agreement.
