Morning all.🙂 10.4 here...what can I say? I’m only holiday, it’s hot, I’m in unknown BG territory!😛

On our way to Spain via France. Hubby tried marrowbone as a starter last night at dinner - I only just convinced him not to have lamb’s head as a main😱😛. He did very well and polished it all off (out of politeness, it was a challenge) and our dogs had the bones for breakfast. Lucky girls! But now the hotel room stinks of marrowbone, ych a fi, not the nicest smell in the world.:confused::D
 
Oops! 😳 Forgot to check in yesterday & wasn’t on the forum at all! Yesterday’s waking BS was 5.3. This morning 08:33 BS 5.7. 🙂

Too busy playing golf yesterday & totally forgot. Didn’t qualify on Monday, massive losing streak the biggest I’ve had yesterday until late in the evening when I turned it around: from 81 coins to over 25000 in one day. So, just got up at 07:25 this morning to try & quality on this last day. I did say before qualifying rounds start at 8am & last 24 hours. Well, in a barely awake daze, I’d mistakenly entered the final 16 minutes of yesterday’s round. It was a case of how many holes can I finish in 16 minutes! I didn’t have time to think & played as fast as I could. I finished 3 holes in 16 minutes at -3 & qualified in tied for 4th place. NOT how I planned on qualifying: under pressure how fast & how many holes can you finish. All 20 in my group had 16 minutes at number 1 with 0 holes & a score of 0 at the start. The fastest finished 5 holes at -5 & I was in a group of 4 who finished 3 at -3. It was a VERY lucky qualifying scorecard for me & I had a BIG laughing fit in bed after I got the result! 😱:D😛

Eventually tested this morning & will now skip off to brekkie an EXTREMELY happy bunny!

An early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Will catch up on this tread & the forum later after breakfast: stomach is growling! 😉:D

6.2 this morning and aching all over, I don't have time to be ill now as I have a birthday cake to make for the weekend. Also at my last prescription I have a different brand of Metformin and it is playing my digestive system up again, not pleasant.

Congratulations! 🙂
 
Good morning 8.3 and 25.C at the moment.😎 Spoke too soon yesterday about reducing figures back to normal, no sooner had I posted when that old familiar feeling started to kick in.🙄 Sweat, blurry eyes, wobbly legs, etc. tested 2.7 bearing in mind it was 9.7 two hours previously.:(😡 JB`s gluco tablets had it quickly sorted, time to speak with DSN me thinks.🙄

I see @Hazel has done it again, congratulations.🙂

Lamb? I thought it would be horse, lots of marrowbone mind you.:D

{{{HUGS}}} for you @Grannylorraine.

Have a great day folks I`m off to the club.🙂
 
6.8 for me this morning although I was 5.9 when I went to the lo at 4am.... both of which were a relief because I went to bed on 14..... not been that high in ages, but I was naughty and had a couple of small glasses of cider. I also overdosed the stir fry with soy sauce and have a sneaky feeling that is pretty high in carbs. I also added a naughty dollop of honey to counteract the saltiness of the soy sauce..... needless to say, I was drinking water all night and consequently visiting the bathroom. Not had a reading that high for quite a while so I'm a bit disappointed in myself but at least things are back to normal this morning. Cider is not my normal tipple but there was nothing else in the house and I really fancied something. Lesson learned.
@Hazel Congrats on yet another HS. You are a star!
@Lanny Congrats on qualifying. I haven't a clue on most of what you write about the golf but sounds like you played a blinder under pressure this morning.
@Kaylz Isn't it nice when you are right and you can prove it! Can I just ask though.... what is eliquid?
@Anitram You are doing really well with those consistent fives, all the more remarkable when you are away on holiday.... are you being as strict diet wise as you would be at home?
@Grannylorraine Hope you are feeling better soon. Don't know how you manage to bake cakes and not be tempted to be naughty!
 
Just back from physio & definitely NO hypo this week! Tested before going, 8.3 2.5 hours after late ish breakfast then, 3 digestives, a cup of tea with milk & my usual 0.5tsp of honey at 12:30. So, just about to eat & eat not testing as I know it’s high! Not much examinations this time & only 30 minutes to do 1 of each exercise while he got his protractor, the semi circle thing, to measure the angles of movement. The left arm has improved by 5 degrees, he tells me. Gave me 1 last set of shoulder stretches: lying on bed & fill up a 2 litre bottle of water, start with some & build up to full, & hold in both hands lifting it as high over my head as possible; no where near that yet with the dumbbell he used to show me. 1 last assessment next week & I’m discharged to continue all those stretches! This time physio has been all about stretches & no ACTUAL exercises as such! 🙄

OK I’ll test but, don’t ask the reading: after all need to know what to bolus for my chips & beans from the chip shop; my secret & you lot don’t need to know? 😱😳:D😉
 
Ok, I’ll relent! Shush! 14:22 BS 12.4. Could be worse! Ate & had 18 units Novorapid, usually 12 for lunch: +2 for near enough 13mmol where +2 is needed, +2 for beans & +2 for chips! I’ll test more often too, as physio is unpredictable on BS & see how it goes? 🙄

It is difficult, but on the odd occasion I do indulge I see how it affects my bg levels and I hate seeing them high, but it is not easy. This is going to be a Thomas the Tank Engine cake for my grandson. I will post a picture up on the off subject thread on Sunday before we cut it.

Morning all, 4.6 here. Was 5.4 when I woke at 5.30. Reverse Dawn? That never happens! Waited a while and reswiped, to make sure it wasn’t just that I'd been lying on the sensor - same result.

Hi. I was given yaltoformin sr, and it made for unpleasant living. Pharmacist said it could be one of the ingredients that I was intolerant of. Doctors surgery pharmacist changed it back to glucophage after a glorious technicoloured description of the effects

It is so annoying as I had had the same brand for about 2 years and after the initial problems had settled down, now I feel like I am back to square one.
 
6.2
Raining here again! .
I'm starting to get worried. There's a weirdie beardie hippie in robes and sandals across the way who's building this great big wooden boat and his missus has been herding all sorts of animals into their back garden!! 😱
Have a great day everyone!

Morning early birds, 7.3 for me this morning, i’m now convinced Patty is on the spectrum, she really likes a pattern of behaviour and is not easily moved. Knowing her normal pattern of aberrant (or is that abhorrent 😉) behaviour we’ll be heading for a hypo cluster shortly. @MeeTooTeeTwo you’d best book your seat on that ark, places are limited to two, also if the hippy dude is wearing Birkenstocks ask him where he got them from there seems to be a shortage in these parts and my last pair have after ten years of service given up the ghost :D
 
Hmn, 6.9 this morning

Must not eat fruit cake, I rather over indulged yesterday. But I loved it
