@Debandez love your brochure! I think we need to call you the Diabetes Dynamo! Do you know if the other lady speaker is on board with LCHF? Well done on your own numbers.
@Ziggy2017 good to hear from you...have a snug day under a rug with your viewing.

You do make me smile!!! I love your comments. Its @xfieldok. How lucky am.i!!! She is amazing. So knowledgable. Hope we get a good turnout. But even if we get 1 they might enjoy it and spread the word. Patient to patient is far better than any DESMOND course!!!

Morning all. 5.5 this morning dropping to 5.3 before breakfast which was a nice surprise.
Re Specsavers charging £10 for glaucoma testing ( which I posted about a couple of days ago) I went back in to query it. It’s actually an OCT 3d scan they are doing which is an optional more sensitive test that the routine optician examination apparently. ( and can pick up early signs of macular damage and retinopathy) I probably would have gone for it anyway but was annoyed it wasn’t explained to me.
 
Wow late check in ... 6.2 this morning.
...sadly the glass of whisky didnt have a long term effect. I was 4.7 when I went to bed though so for me at least it does give a lowering effect but only temporary.

A slap in the face with a wet fish is better than any DESMOND course Debandez...an evening with Donald Trump would be better than any DESMOND course...renegotiating the BREXIT deal is better than any DESMOND course...okay...I'll stop now

Whisky doesn't always lower my BS but after a couple I don't seem to care so much. :)
 
And here are the FBG lottery numbers for this morning. On the one hand, the winning number is seven-point-three. And on the other hand, six-point-six. Congratulations. We'll be right back, after a word from our local sponsor, Kitty-Noms. No carbs! No counting! Just pop the lid! And another lid! And another! And another!

Work off your own breakfast with this wonderful exercise while challenging your brain to see which Kitty-Noms flavor wins the cat-food lottery today!

Thanks Debandez...I feel so strongly that the DESMOND courses are a total waste of public money...it gives out the most archaic inaccurate advice I have ever heard...it's misleading...just another money maker for those that run them...all at our expense...in terms of our money & our health...the fact they hold those up as the gold standard to educate (and I use the term loosely) newly diagnosed T2's is shocking.
 
Good night everyone I’m just getting ready for bed but I have a question as most of you know I’m using the freestyle libre sensor last night when I leaned on my arm it stung really bad it started stinging again at dinner time so I took it out and put a new one in the opposite arm but if I lean on it at all it starts to sting and my arm is also aching even though I’m not using it a lot any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you everyone and have a good nights rest
