Consultation went well. She has referred me to counselling servos. Clinical Assessment arranged for tomorrow. Can have up to 8 sessions. Nurse is putting in her report that she thinks I will be off a further 6-8 weeks. Taken a good while to get where I got to, so recovery will not be instant. Took in all factors including low mood, stress at work and diabetes, and pleased with changes I have made.

Now off to 2nd of walking groups but not chancing my new trainers as old ones shiny my bunions. Blister plasters on and will not lace up trainers too tight

Good diabetic control is considered to be BS 4-7mmol between meals, not eating. It was decided in the early days of this forum that BS 5.2 was the perfect figure to wake on as it’s in the middle range between the two; not too low, needing hypo treatment, or too high, needing correction!😉
 
Tell you what, you can tell it’s near the end of the financial year. The Council are frantically using up this years budget by not just filling in the potholes, they are resurfacing the road into the village, which is good news for cyclists and me, and bad news for suspension repairers.🙄

Quick learners, the guys doing the stop and go signals. On the way down, they switched when I was halfway through, so it was a bit of a squeeze with the oncoming bus.:confused: Coming back, they waited till I chugged through at a racing 8mph🙂

Course, all the drivers were grumpy because of the delays, but if you think about it, I got in and out of the village quicker than a car, because I didn’t have to spend time looking for a parking space. Not disabled - enabled🙂
 
Afternoon all, an 8.4 for me this morning. I think I managed to buy everything we needed for America yesterday, but I'm bound to forget something!!! At least there are shops there if we forget anything!
 
Yup, Stitch. I think it’s fairly civilised, and many speak English. Everything you see over there that looks the same as over here- ketchup, beans, Lea&Perrins, etc. all contain more sugar (specifically corn syrup) than over here, so careful what you bung on your hot dogs.🙂

A bastardised form of English (I am allowed to say this as a) my Dad was a Yank and b) I grew up there. As @mikeyB says, watch the ingredients, they put corn syrup in everything. And serve you at least double what you need. Everyone expands there.
 
White rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits.
 
Good morning folks .
Diabetes is fun 😉 Woke up earlier to 8.3, no idea why, all I’ve done is a wee, put the washing up away and sit reading for a while am now 6.8, it usually works the other way round for me :D

Hope you all have a good day
 
7.4 this morning.
 
06:12 BS 9.4. Not waking as I haven’t slept yet!:( Yawning emoji! Will eat something & then I’m off to bed, finally!🙄

Spent all day yesterday & all last night backing up my mac on a new hard drive, erasing mac, reverting to an earlier OS to get data from old hard drive I had to replace, put that otherwise lost data, on the new hard drive & I have yet to put back the latest OS & backup onto my mac again.

All because when I tried syncing my iPhone & iPad it said my MacBook Pro’s OS wasn’t supported anymore & I had to upgrade, for free thank goodness, to a new OS if I wanted to add anything to the phone or pad again! Of course I backed up first in case anything went wrong & boy did it! I’ve kept the same OS since I bought it in 2014 & there have been 4 new OS’s since then & a change from 32 bit software to 64 bit software. So, I couldn’t access my old hard drive as it’s 32 bit!

It wasn’t particularly hard; just time consuming! Upgraded from an earlier OS to a newer one was very quick & no files are lost as you don’t need to erase. But, backtracking to an earlier OS means erasing everything first!

I’m exhausted & hungry so, will eat & sleep before ai tackle the other half of the job to get my mac up & running again!:(

I wish everyone a hassle free day & will say goodnight!😉

Siri would say “Goodnight, Lanny? It’s, whatever the time is, in the morning!”😱:D
 
12.1 :(

Barely slept, frozen should is murder, even co-codamol isn’t touching it, I’m thinking fondly of my old Actiq lollies and wishing I’d kept up the prescription. I was going to plant seeds today, but I think I’ll just put my feet up and doze in front of Midsomer Murders.

My first experience of the OS upgrade nightmare was in 1990 when I had bought my first PC. The PC was on MS/Dos 6.0, but there was an essential bugfix upgrade to 6.1. I dutifully backed up my data using the back up utility in MS/Dos 6.0, installed the OS upgrade, then tried to restore my data from my back up...it told me that the new back up utility couldn't restore from back ups made with the previous utility! 😱 😡 I had to resotre the old utility in order to restore my data. Absolute shambles, and I have never trusted Microsoft since 😡 On my new PC I'm trying to get used to Windoze 10, which is irritating me no end, but I suppose I'll get used to it eventually 🙄 I've always stuck with Windows because of the software/peripherals choice and price.
