Morning All. Drum roll …..5.8 never thought I’d see a 5 again! Anyone would think its Christmas lol. And that was after dipping my hand into Mr PM’s bowl of crisps last night, only once I promise!! @DEBBIESCOTT I am hoping you will feel better after a couple of days on the antibiotics. Take care if you’re out and about folks.

Morning everyone, 7.8 at bedtime dropping to 7.4 this morning. I'll take that :) Frosty here in Nova Scotia -5c. We have weather warnings for today. A big weather system is bringing loads of rain, high winds and 9 c of warmth. I love these weather systems that come up from Florida, it feels like Florida has arrived on our doorstep.

Dislikes
Carbohydrates and lack of testing strips being supplied due to NICE rules.
4.0 on wake up. Still just on Metformin. 22 years diagnosed and am winning the battle. Now need to win the war!

Bureaucracy. Poor quality. Boredom
Christmas fall off the wagon starts. Been up and down this week but most mornings 4.5 - 5.0 despite one before bedtime of 7.1 It was a doughnut!!!
This morning 5.4.... Before bed 6.9! It was the Thai meal and the rice! Weight down 1.5 kg this week though, so that is some comfort.
Will try and stay between 5 and 7 over Christmas 2 days... Then cut down again until New Year for a few days.
