I hope you’re better soon.
Any infection can affect our BG, if your on steroids they usually affects it massively

Thank you Lin. I appreciate. I am on steroids + strong anti.b's too so I reckon that will account for the high numbers.

Good morning all, white rabbits white rabbits white rabbits. 8.2 @ 7.04am getting higher all the time, need to get a handle on it. I have a review soon.

Hope you get that sorted WL, high numbers are so worrying. At least you know it's the steroids then and temporary?
 
Good morning Baz here for Ted, I am in his apartment once again staff asked me to bring in the rest of his glasses to have them checked. So I thought while I am here will give you an update, his morning result was 8.9 and when I left him it was 6.4. His left eye has stopped weeping and he can see quite clearly out of it but not with his normal glasses on, hence the need for his other glasses to be checked. His right eye is still covered he had a bleed at the back of it a consultant from Moorfields in London will be down tomorrow visiting Torbay hospital and has agreed to visit him at the private hospital, no doubt for a nice fee. Its very sunny over Torbay with an outside temperature of 13 degrees centigrade, he says I have to tell you that to make you jealous. Well I better get going I take the wife out for dinner every Sunday but I will drop his glasses off first, he sends his love to everyone and may be able to post this evening on his Blackberry play book, see you later people.

Thanks Baz, and for all that you are doing for our mate Ted 🙂 Good to hear a Moorfields consultant will be seeing him, they know their stuff 🙂
 
Hi Baz good to hear Ted is settled in a private hospital now. He'll receive A1 treatment there for sure. No doubt he'll be spoiled for choice with favourable menues too. He deserves it after all he's going through. As already said about a Consultant visiting him tomorrow and hope he will give a good prognosis re Ted's right eye.
Sending love & {{{{{hugs}}}} and good wishes for a speedy recovery. (We miss you on the forum) Hopefully you can then look to being discharged to return home to enjoy all your home comforts.
Take care both of you and thanks again for your latest update Baz. It is appreciated.

Ditto drink loads & loads of water throughout the days & evenings to bring down your numbers.
I've tried taking a leaf out of my own book but it's not working for me atm but thank you for your kind well wishes. Temporary I hope.

Morning all 🙂 today it's my highest score ever of 6.2 😱.
No real surprise, My first 'normal' meal since joining this club - Chinese take away - its was good. 2 hour post-prandial was 7.7 which I am pretty happy with. Now to see how long it will take to bring my BGs down a few points again 😎

@karloc May the fours be with you! :D
 
I have a 8.0 here this morning and a load of ice outside
 
5.9 this morning, managed a 9.25km run yesterday, was hoping for 10 but my friend needed the bathroom so we took a short cut back to our cars.

@wirralass hope those numbers start dropping soon.

Baz thank you for keeping us updated on Ted and for being there for him.

Not sure how well I am going to do today, we have our Christmas themed bring and share lunch at work today, I have packed a chicken salad to try and minimise the damage, but one of my colleagues will be bringing in his wife's samosas and they are so lovely I have to have one. Then out for a Christmas meal this evening, taking my mum along so didn't want to cancel when I realised it was Christmas bring and share lunch. I have ordered soup and traditional turkey dinner, so I can go light on the potatoes and don't have a dessert.

Hi Rob you can and will do it with tenacity and sheer determination. I was dx on 53 and after an intolerance to 'Metfartin' I chose to go down the route of low carb diet and exercise. It took a slow 16 months but I eventually put my diabetes into remission with an Hba1c of 31. So it is doable.....and remember we are a friendly bunch of sods here and will lend our support so you're not on your own in your quest to succeed. Good luck and do keep us updated with your progress won't you?
Take care.

Thanks, yes I exercise every day and weekends gets me out cycling and golfing although summer will see me Saturday and Sunday golfing and Tuesday Thursday cycling take care too
 
Morning again 🙂 and back to 4.5 :D yay
 
Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.5 for this morning.

off to work shortly busy week want to avoid this Saturday working as planning a 20 mile cycling ride but much is dependent on weather and how the week unfolds
 
Good morning 🙂

6.7 for me this morning after waking up with yet another cold :( I blame the woman coughing her germs all around the health centre waiting room on Tuesday, like seriously why are there so many people that don’t cover their mouths when coughing and spluttering everywhere? Nose is blocked as anything and cant breathe out of it, not sure what the weather is like as still pitch black but there was a couple of inches of frost on the cars when we got back just after 7pm last night so I imagine it'll still be like that

Have a nice day everyone
xx
