My thoughts exactly @Baz. When will it end?! We got so WET yesterday morning and the MUD, hahah, eek! Bloden looked like she was wearing kinky boots.o_O

Morning all.🙂 4.1 here.:D
 
Morning all on, dare I say it, a dry, calm morning. I am proud to announce a 5.6! Blooming Nora that’s two fives in just a few days. Funnily enough though yesterday I did a bit fat nowt as the weather was so bad, yet the day before I had walked 9 miles and was 7 yesterday!
Hoping to get out for a walk today, I’m doing the #1000milechallenge, that’s 1000 miles walked in a year. I’m choosing to just count “ boots on” miles ie deliberate walks not just pootling around Tesco ( other supermarkets are available) or walking around the house. After a shaky start to the year with my back injury, I’m a wee bit behind and have done 102 miles so far. That leaves me with an average 3 miles a day to do, once the better weather is here I’ll be doing more than that.
Have a good day everyone and hope it stays dry for everyone.🙂
 
5.4 yesterday
5.6 today
 
4.7 this morning. 🙂
I like these mornings when the sun is up before me. 😛
Have a great Shrove Tuesday everybody.

Morning all, 8.2 for me today.
 
Good morning another 10.2 despite increasing overnight Basal by 3 units. 🙄 Weather is a bit haphazard beautiful sunshine until you get to the beach then black clouds over the sea all the way to Brittany and beyond.🙂 Dyson gets used today with the sun shining I can see fluffy bits on the carpets,😱 I suppose I should wash the car !!!!! if I had one.:D

Have a good day folks enjoy any sun you get, take care.🙂

When I lived in Folkestone I used to run along the seafront through Sandgate to Hythe, and you could see the French coast, and the big black storm clouds that would curl their way from there across in front of me, eventually hitting me head on 😱 It was always a relief to turn at Hythe and have the wind on my back again! 🙂
 
Morning all. 7 something. I've sat down without my diary and I'm too bone idle to get up and get it.

Torrential and sunny by turns here in Sale. I'm feeling proper perky as I had a decent sleep. Makes such a difference. Have a good Shrove everybody. What y'all giving up for Lent?

Giving up for Lent... How about carbs 😎
 
Well it was my consultant appointment today. I was very anxious last night and this morning as I put together a list of reasons why he should let me try Libre. He has been very conservative in the past and I was pretty sure he would palm me off again and just say I was doing well and we would see how I got on next time.
Woke up to a bit of a disappointing 7.9. Gave myself 4 units of NR and headed down to the yard to do morning stables before breakfast. I did also do some squats before I left the house as I am experimenting to see if it will help insulin get going any quicker on a morning. Anyway, I got back for breakfast exactly an hour later to find I had let it go just a little too long and I was 3.4. Ate breakfast and had a shower and got ready for appt. and was 4.8 when I got in the car, so had to wait to come up to 5 to drive with a little help from a dextrose tablet. Was so anxious/stressed when I got to hosp. my BP was 140/95. (it was 120/70 last week at GP surgery)
I saw a new lady doctor (just new to diabetes) and not the consultant. I went through my history with her and started on a few of my bullet points when she decided she needed to "consult" the consultant. I managed to get in to see him with her and he was really great today. We went through a few of my readings and he seemed to understand the problem and ..... drum roll please..... HE SANCTIONED ME GETTING FREESTYLE LIBRE. Can't tell you how absolutely delighted I am! Came out beaming and almost skipping with excitement! He even broached the subject of a pump at some point in the future but I don't feel that is something that interests me just yet. Not sure when it will actually happen as I have to wait for a place on a Libre course, but this has just really made my day/week/year even! Can you tell I'm ecstatic? I fully expected to get turned down. Really hope I find it as beneficial as most of you guys do.
Anyway, sorry for the longwinded post but I just had to share my news with people who I knew would understand.
YIPPEE!!

I hope you don’t have to wait too long for the course. And I hope you find the Libre a game changer like I have .
 
Thanks. Me too! Will update as soon as I hear anything as I will be totally unable to keep it to myself!🙄
 
@rebrascora oh my god that's amazing news, so happy for you! :D I hate that the lead up to it seems very different on area though! Up here I had to book myself on the course and could have had it much sooner had I hadn't had to wait for someone to be available to get me there, mines started at 9am at the hospital 40 miles away so usual jump on a bus wasn't an option as there wasn't one early enough from my town to get me there or to the next town for a connecting bus xx
