Buon journo on this beautiful but chilly last morning in Tuscany. A very undeserved 7.1 after what I ate yesterday. But I obviously got my bolus correct and along with a few steps around Florence...which we visited yesterday not Sunday as I said we were going to do. Only problem was all the state museums were closed! Didn’t stop what seemed like a million tourists visiting the same day as us. What a cheek! At least we got a feel for the place. ie busy, expensive, smelly in parts and also incredibly beautiful. Saved a bit of money on entrance fees so spent it on food and wine! Well it’s ciao from me and arrivederci to
Tuscany and buono sera to Lake Como today. Have a great day all. 🙂
Morning all, 6.2 here. Was too low (at 4.7) to go to bed on last night, so had a bit of apple and yogurt, because I was just freezing the apples from our Bramley that I'd stewed earlier. Obv had a bit more than I needed!
Morning all, 7.7 for me today. Off to get my flu jab done today. Not at my gp surgery though as they don't have any of the under 65 vaccine!!! Glad I made my appointment at boots!
Good morning everyone. 9.5 for me today - was 6.5 at 3am. BGs are still dropping fast during the night so still reducing my temporary overnight basal by 20-30% whilst I slowly reduce the basals from midnight - 6am. Want to minimise the overnight low sugars where I'm needing 45-60g carbs in the early hours of the morning.
Good morning 6.7 dropped to 3.0 1hour later.🙄 Morning started very sunny but now come over all cloudy, got an appointment with Diabetic Consultant, DSN & Dietician tomorrow morning, should be fun.🙂 Bought some Swan Retro matching kitchen equipment off Amazon Smile which has arrived, a small donation is automatically sent to DUK with each sale.😎
Keep on trucking @eggyg hope you had your bikini at Lake Como.

Sorry didn't post yesterday as been pretty stressed and worried and no time this morning as was picked up at 7:40 for the hospital, eye check up, things stable from the lasering last November, no signs of macular oedema, pressure good at 12 & 13, back in 6 months, hopefully the renovation work will be finished in the usual department by then as wasn't keen on the kind of pop up area
I had my first flu jab at the surgery but it was a group session. We all formed a line and it was a case of 'next'. I think they always do that, on Saturday mornings.
Have been to Boots for all the rest as they do them 1-to-1, date and time to suit you not them.
That's how our surgery do it too. I got a text saying don't come to any sessions at the mo as we don't have the under 65 vaccine. Luckily I already had an appointment at Boots. Great service.
