Morning All. 7.1 today so no smile. I did develop a cough and fuzzy head so might have a cold coming.. covid test negative ..for now anyway.
exciting about the final phase of refurb of Estragon Towers. I am trying to persuade Mr PM we need a new sofa but he wants a shed! Happy Tuesday.

You have no idea, maybe you do. All this clutter sifting has made me filter-out some 100 VHS Tapes!

Sofa<>Shed? Get both?

6.1 this morning and no enthusiasm to work out. Spent the best part of the night in panic mode for reasons of which I am aware To eventually getting a couple of hours sleep to be woken up by carpal tunnel

Morning all. 9.1 bedtime and 9.4 at 9am today. Having bad nights atm and am feeling very dizzy. Probably to do with my age, diabetes and having had an op on my hand again. Thankfully that's now over and done with. Have a good day everyone.

7.0 this morning all i can say is blah. Enjoy your day folks

Covid and Flu Jab late yesterday afternoon. Bloods were in the high 6s in the evening, not sure if it was too many snacks (comfort eating) or a reaction to the jabs. Fbg this morning was 5.7 which is not too bad. Apart from some localised pain in both arms, feeling fine.

5.4 at 6AM after 36 hours mark... should get lower still at 60 hours mark tomorrow. Although at the moment true to my regular trends its hovering at 6.9 and heading downwards...

Forgot to mention but meant to tell all that this is part of the new experiment with roasted edamame beans on Sunday... you see I deliberately had a lot of it in salad about 250 gms during the course of the day... so my overall complex carb with higher fibre intake was almost 130 gms... about 100 gms more carbs than what I normally consume on an eating day but i did not see spikes and the FBG yesterday was a modest 6 and then 5.4 today... my inference is higher complex carb every now and then does not spike the BG to harmful zone (>7.6) but does elevate the readings a bit for subsequent days..normally at 36 hours mark i will see reading in 4s not 5s ... anyway I don't know if it helps anyone but guess it does make for an interesting observation for me in an otherwise fairly boring even if working routine

Have a great rest of the day everyone.

Morning all. Bedtime 9.1, 4.30am....7.6. A bit better but not brilliant. HBA1c result...51. I know it's higher than it should be but it hasn't gone up so that's encouraging. Dizziness gone so am feeling more human today!

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 6.7 this morning which is a relief after a slightly carbier supper last night (easier to have same as Mr PM) bet it trips me another time. Good workout weeding the heather bed this morning. Happy Wednesday everyone.
@RosemaryJackson hope you feel better soon not sleeping and getting over surgery and Gen anaesthetic are bound to be affecting your BG but you will get there.

 

[Estragon]

HBA1c result...51. I know it's higher than it should be but it hasn't gone up so that's encouraging.

- Great result!

Best wishes for @RoughcutAU for your A1c, @DEBBIESCOTT for eye scan. Good news on A1c being stable @RosemaryJackson and @JohnEGreen on those fbgs. @Estragon funny for the ain't no thing (should that be ting?).

Reduced stress plays a huge part in bg control. Well, them's my onions but what do I know?
