My BG levels did not seem to be affected by the Covid jab (pfizer), but my arm was a bit sore for a couple of days afterwards. I wonder if the type of jab has different common side effects.
Morning everyone. After an awful couple of days when levels were high and corrections not working, had another 2u correction an hour before bed and an extra half unit basal, i woke to a much more acceptable 6.4. Now just hope it stays within range, though will be keeping an eye on it as tomorrow is vaccine day.
Morning all, 6.8 today. Been a hard week at work, am glad to have a few days off. Went to the garden centre yesterday to get a couple of rose bushes as my aunties in the church yard had died and decided to get one for my uncle as well. The gardeners are going to put them in today. Our caravan site is opening in April so am really looking forward to getting back down there. @Lanny many congrats on the HS.
Have a good day everyone x
Morning all and I’m glad to say the Eggy special is back. 5.5. And I think I know the secret. Shhh.....don’t tell anyone but it’s a McVitties ginger nut before bed if under 7.4. Who knew? We are promised a much better day today after atrocious weather, heavy rain, gales and floods have hit us up here. We attempted a walk yesterday but fell at the first hurdle as couldn’t cross the bridge. Ah well, 1.3 miles is better than nowt. Will try and prise Mr Eggy from his new toy today and get a longer walk in hopefully. I’m sure he’ll take it with him anyways. I had to laugh last night as he took it to bed with him! I’m trying to read and all I can hear is click, click, click. 😳
Have a great day and huge congratulations @Lanny on your first HS of the year. Here’s to many more.
Well, it isn’t raining, there’s a clear blue sky, so after a dog walk and some errands it’s a morning of gardening for me - yippee! I’ve got some clearing to do, and some plants need to be moved (in case OH squashes them when he builds our ‘BBQ shack’). Got the JBs at the ready!
Well done @Lanny on the HS!🙂 My brother in London booked a jab online and told me to give it a go. So I typed in my post code - deepest, darkest West Wales - and was offered a jab in Bideford, Devon which...apparently...is only 50.7 miles away. Eh? In a rowing boat maybe. Or as the crow flies. I’ll just wait for my surgery to call! (They’re doing 64-69 year olds this week. A bit behind?)
Well last day of grandad being here on a regular basis, I'm not going to lie, I will miss not seeing him but it will be a relief to get an hour back to myself that I would have spent cleaning
@Lanny congratulations, I'm joining you so budge up please! 🙂
xx
Morning all,
6.0 for me today.
Well done @Lanny for your first HS of the year and it's still only February!
Stop press!!! Well done @Kaylz on your HS room on the chair for two! Any more?
Blessings Snowwy
He eventually settled on the Nikon D850 SLR after debating between that and the mirror less Nikon. It has honestly taken months to decide. Wilkinson’s even got one in for him to try, but he thought it was too slow? Don’t ask me, I know nothing. I’m a point and shoot gal! Happy with my Panasonic LUMIX compact. He’s in the shower at the moment and we’ve just had an email to say Dave is delivering it between 13.07 and 14.07! Wait until I tell him, he’ll be like a giddy kipper!
I'm a Canon man so my last upgrade was to a mirrorless R when they came out. I love it but would love to upgrade to an R5 or R6 but can't justify the expense just yet
