Morning All 7.6 no matter what I think about that we are all trying really hard which is why we are here. So many very individual challenges. Good luck everyone. Where has the sun gone this morning? Enjoy Eurovision!
Every day is a challenge, Santa Cruz California shady too. Let's keep on going!

Sun? We’ve been missing it for sure! I usually have all my tomatoes and peppers in the ground by now….but it’s still chilly at night. I actually was going to plant them today but right now it’s raining.
blood was 6.3 today, it was all very the place yesterday for no good reason. Sometimes I just have a bad pancreas day.
its mid afternoon and I’m currently sipping on a butter coffee….its that kind of day.

5.1 libre pretty shocked tbh considering had a kids Mac n cheese followed up by a couple scoops of Nutella ice-cream. Day trip with loads of walking along the promenade. Clear blue skies. Run of weather been awesome. Image of the last ocean going paddle steamer in the world called the Waverley. Hoping next Sunday weather is nice will be on it for the day

The term "big boned" lol repeatedly told this growing up!
8.1 this morning despite the 50 min workout yesterday. Could also have been the two apples I had yesterday plus the hell of amount of stress and anxiety I have been going through for the last 6 months, seems never ending :banghead:

8.9, my second lowest reading so far
great job :) before you know it you'll be posting new lowest readings. have you noticed any patterns evolving yet with regards to what your eating and general activeness for the day might be worth noting down and try a repeat for something that appeared to of worked for you best wishes

New sensor yesterday lots blood no idea why. Fingers dont like the new sensor going to harass Dsn for sensor that can calibrate to finger prick blood glucose levels. Ate a whole pile of **** to try stop alarms woken up several times with them.

Libre currently says 5.6 I'm thinking more likely 8+

Hopefully sensor settles down first couple of days can be so off for me

over selling.... oh so many things are enthusiastically oversold
First bbq of the year yesterday. A friend came round and it was a sunny Sunday afternoon

I had a Tesco finest sirloin in fridge and we bought an Asda finest sirloin and lit a fire.

There’s something I really enjoy about charcoal grilling. Both flavour wise and pleasure of cooking outside. Personally I preferred the Tesco steak it was thicker and tastier .

With the steak I ate an avocado. The first vegetable I’ve eaten in many months.
Also drank half a bottle of red and a large brandy

It was a feast

This morning I’m getting five point five on the contour next
