Morning all, 5.0 when I eventually went downstairs and used my meter. Got an error message on my Libre this morning something along the lines of 'your sensor has stopped working, please start a new one' It’s got two and a half days to go! I will be ringing Abbott tomorrow.
Good Morning everyone
Well done @stephknits on your HS. You will have a wonderful time in the Dales just one of my favourite parts of gods own county.
7.5 for me this morning. Another nurse day for me today 😱 another 3 weeks to go 🙂. OH getting used to seeing again without mist. Lovely and wonderous but "have you seen this" or "look at that every two minutes" 🙄
Best Wishes
All the chatter about a neighbour’s **** and no double entendre anywhere... what’s the matter with you all?!
In a completely unrelated thought I was hoping for a 6.9 for me this morning.
Actually I’ve logged a rather impressive 5.7 this morning. This after a long walk and lots of food yesterday. Started well by having Turkish eggs without the bread... black coffee all the day long... but succumbed to a beautiful pastry in the afternoon and even a quarter of a pizza later.
Oddly my weight has crept up again and it’s now 89.8 kg... can’t figure out why!
Today the plan is out for a stroll with another friend who basically never eats anything and would frown of I even glanced at a carb so that’s OK... back to the 800cal routine tomorrow (with the job interview Zoom call - with the guy I meet up with yesterday so it’s pretty much a formality) and then I’ll do a 600/800 cal days through to the end of the week.
I’ve an eye on blood pressure (which has been mainly normal with a few “Optimal” results recently) and a concerted effort to get the weight down to the 86kg range.
Got an appointment for trying out multi focal contact lenses next weekend because I’m tired of my specs fogging up. May wear my contacts a little more this week just to get used to wearing them again beforehand.
Not sure if I can make the Zoom call today because as much as I love you all I’m keen to spend time with the friend who wants to head out today so if I don’t make it then forgive me.
Loved that film: VERY British humour that some Americans just can’t seem to get; also, one of Patrick Swayze’s funniest last roles before he passed away! 😛🙄 A rare frown instead of a crying emoji for Patrick Swayze!
Whay hey! It ALL worked: combined all 3 posts together; WOULDN’T have been otherwise if it HADN’T worked & a bit of egg on my face albeit only so I could see it!🙄😉
I had no idea I was supposed to until I saw it mentioned elsewhere. I do now though!
Duff as in when I did the airshot nothing came out. Changed the needle, got the same, changed again and it worked. Swapped back to previous needle and again nothing.

7.2 for me today. Have spent a good part of the night scratching. If there was only one mozzie left in the world it would make its way to me aargh!!! So Anthisan on, anti-histamine taken and need to get ready for work. I have one of the registrars in with me this morning, poor things have to spend time with every part of the surgery before they are let loose on the patients - fun.
Have a good all x
