Morning

Called the health centre yesterday to ask the pharmacist if I could have my 2 monthly of BG strips increased from 250 to the 400 I'm entitled to which she happily agreed to do

Treats got replenished yesterday, chocolate cake bars, chunky pb kit kats and caramel rocky's, now which one do I want today lol

Anywayys 6.0 this morning and off to eBay after breakfast to order at least a mug for my grandads Christmas

Morning all. An early start for me today joining @Baz on the 5.3 step, and a ‘nice’ graph overnight (Memories of my English teacher saying never to use nice or got as there were always better words to use)

Glad you have your extra strips now @Kaylz , and those treats.
Sorting through old stuff always takes ages @Snowwy as I find I start reading, looking at them and the day flies past.

Will be spending a good few hours today listening to the DUK Tech Conference whilst weaving.
Should be interesting with updates on pumps and Covid etc.

Enjoy yourselves whatever you do.

Great weekly average @Baz. Hope you’re keeping well. 🙂

Moooorning. 7.9 here...another “Who knows?!” for me. Four hours after last night’s bolus, it suddenly shot up (after a day shooing away hypos) and this morning I had the opposite of DP. I’m certainly getting my money’s worth at the mo!😉

Had to get the whip out yesterday - hubby’s been restoring our wooden banister (ie making a right mess indoors) and it looked like he had in mind to do just an hour a day, meaning the mess was going to be there for at least a week, nooooooo. I made him finish the job....ah, that’s better, tidiness restored.😉

06:47 BS 9.4! So so emoji! Not waking as I’m about to turn in & after having to head off hypos twice after eating: only ate twice & both times over bolused so, extra biscuits required but, no JB’s as I wasn’t THAT low; only needing biscuits around the 2.5 hours after mark!🙄

In hindsight, a bit late as in the nature of hindsight’s, the 66 basal at midday was a bit too much: bet you though if I’d gone 64 I would have been higher than I’d like; I’ll put this down to a bit more experience! 🙄

I wish you all a Very Good Morning & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 As I’m heading off to the land of nod!😉 Oh! I better say the rest of this post is about golf so, you can skip ENTIRELY if you wish: I won’t know; that’s what you get from a golf mad fanatic, I’m afraid that hasn’t seen any golf on tv since last year’s The Open in over a year!🙄😉

A wonderful short ish day of watching 2 Masters highlights back to back, more or less, of Day 1 & 2 on iPlayer: had actually forgotten to watch The Masters on Thursday: I only put it in my calendar as long ago as April this year; then, when it actually came to the day I forgot anyway! DUH! 😳🙄😉 There are 4 majorly different things that strikes me as being strange & different about this years The Masters:- 1 the season, time of year as instead of all the Azalea’s in bloom in the spring, it’s the autumnal colours of the leaves on the trees in November; 2 it’s almost completely silent as there’s no patrons & the great, & downright brilliant some of them, are only applauded by the caddies, marshal’s & groundsmen; 3 there are NO grandstands & there are lovely shots of what Augusta looks like to only the members who play there when The Masters crowds aren’t there, the overhead shots in particular are pretty stunning & I’ve never seen that; 4 this last one is to do with how the shots into the green are all landing, sticking & not rolling much, if at all, because of the wet weather: a 3 hour delay on Day 1 because of lightning & each round, so far, is taking more than a day for the entire field to complete, even with a two tee start half on the 1st Hole & half on the 10th. Hole; REALLY strange because Augusta has always been known for the lightning fast greens where the ball rolls & rolls so, you have to be pin point accurate into the greens! Half the field have still to finish off round 2 later today before the cut, before round 3 starts & it’s going to be the lowest cut in 43 years because of the wet conditions with the balls landing & sticking on the greens: the highest winning score I’ve seen at Augusta was during one VERY dry, sunny year when the greens were super, super lightning fast with a +1 in 2007 when almost everyone was over par! I’ve set my alarm for 17:30 so, I can cook & eat in front of the telly to watch live golf at 18:00 on Now TV, Sky Sport’s Channel! Tiger is playing well too & he’s moving SO much better in the still warm weather at Augusta, 26 C, completely unlike his stiffness in the cold, wet weather of Portrush last year at The Open: he hit, for me, the shot of round 2 yesterday, albeit he’s still, along with others, to finish that round today, when he hit a bunker shot that JUST stopped on the rim of the hole for an Eagle & he had to make do with just a Birdie tap in!😛😎 He’s still got that Tiger magic & I’d LOVE it if he defends his title this year!😛

 

[Lanny]

Oh yes! Forgot to say I’ve decided to wait at see what BS is at midday, alarm, for brief meds & basal before dropping off again! 🙄

 

[MeeTooTeeTo]

4.6 this morning. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

Morning all and 6.7 for me.

Must look around for a new phone this weekend as the battery on this one is getting a bit iffy. I'm sure there's a bargain to be had somewhere.

Have a good day everyone.

Have a good sleep, I’ve been watching the Masters as well. I love it and went there in 2014 it really is a fantastic place. It doesn’t look like my bets are coming in this year though but I’ve got a couple in the top 10. Enjoy round 3 today but it’s a shame some players haven’t finished round 2 yet.
it’s a 7.3 again from me today

 

[freesia]

Morning everyone. 4.7 for me on this rainy morning...a nice steady decline to it from bedtime's 6.4.

Need to get cleaning through today then hit the laptop to order some more christmas presents. I'm a bit annoyed as still waiting for son in laws birthday present to be delivered, its his birthday tomorrow and they've not even dispatched it yet. Mind you, i can't get it to him anyway with lockdown. 🙄 I need to think about what to get for my hubby as well. Usually we just get each other something small and go away for a weekend somewhere. Can't do that this year so any ideas would be good lol.

I heard on the radio that as people can't get to the shops because of lockdown/tiers, we shouldn't be ordering online either because increased deliveries mean more damage to the environment. We can't win!

Anyway, have a good day all, whatever you are doing

 

[Kaylz]

@freesia Bruce was worried one of my presents wouldn't be here for my birthday tomorrow as he only ordered it Tuesday night and was coming from Kentucky apparently but it turned up Thursday, don't even expect a text off my dad though as he always "forgets" and it gets me down

As for ideas for your hubby not sure what he's in to but this year so far I've only got Bruce a new pair of trainers and a mug 😱 he needs a new phone as lock button isn't working and would take me up until Christmas to be able to get him one but he says no to that, struggle every year as it's his birthday in January too but things I've got him in the past - trainers, mug, watch, silver chain, wallet, dvd's, books, clothes, personalised things etc

@Kaylz, i thought i'd get him a new ipod as his is really old, but then i looked at the price. I love him but can't afford that!! MP3 doesn't look as good and i'm wary about buying reconditioned ipods, who knows if they will work properly.
He's really awkward to buy for, doesn't need clothes, books or gadgets. Thats why we usually go away. Its my birthday in December, Christmas, then his in January (like Bruce) so it makes sense to do that usually.
Oh well, i'll trawl the internet this weekend and see what i can find. Anything special planned for your birthday?x

Snap @Gruers, 7.3 for me today after SIX attempts, shouldn’t have bothered. Busy week medical wise. Survived hygienist, lots of phone calls with nurse thinking I had another water infection, hospital result says no, dr thinks all to do with mesh, lots if intermittent abdominal pain. Appt received for UCLH early Feb and phone call from urology nurse. Lovely lady who gave me so much information regarding full MDT meeting that took place last week, the UK review into mesh cases and that only 3 hospitals in England are allowed to do the removals. London, Manchester and Birmingham, no wonder it’s taking so long especially with Covid on top of it. Have now been waiting 2 years and things are certainly deteriorating.
Anyhow apart from that had eye screening yesterday and she said everything looked fine at first glance so that’s reassuring. Painting ready to be done on back bedroom today at last and carpet fitting for that arranged at the end of this month. Brilliant.
Have a good day all and hope everyone’s plans go well xx
PS forgot to say I had an appt for clinical photography for this month as well for another ?BCC - cor certainly all happening at once in my house lol x

 

[Kaylz]

@freesia I'm really struggling with what to get Bruce lol, after so many years together it gets more difficult and of course the likes of dvd's if he has the money he'll get them himself leaving me even more stuck! Grrr! haha, his mum and dad used to get us a voucher for a weekend away but I haven't done that since I was diagnosed

No not really, I won't even be opening cards until after 12pm as too early at half 5 when I get up and mums away for the bus to work at 6:20am so I'll be on my own until 9:30 when Bruce comes up the road, may treat myself to an afternoon nap as I'm exhausted but can't get a long lie with needing to get up for Bubbles xx

 

[eggyg]

Morning all. A wee bit tardy today. A very nice round 6. I love a round number. Nothing much planned, weather looking iffy, rain, sun, wind all forecast! Mr Eggy decorating our bedroom and like @Bloden the place is a mess! He is very thorough I must say, but takes forever! Got all the paper stripped off and he’s lining the walls before repapering, it’s needed as we live in a 300 year old sandstone cottage. There’s not a flat or straight wall in it! Then I can do the exciting bit of looking for new bedding and curtains. Have a smashing Saturday. 🙂

 

[ColinUK]

Ate atrociously last night... pitta... hummus... ice cream and this morning I’m a 5.5

As perverse as this seems, sometimes I wish my BG would seriously spike after foods like that so that it’s a slap on the wrists not to do it again.

I’m winding down my stock of exante shakes and am going to transition to keto-tarian.

 

[adrian1der]

For no reason I can fathom a 6.5 for me at 05.55

 

[Robin]

Morning all, 5.3 here. Haven’t just woken up, couldn’t get on the forum earlier it told me the server was too busy! Which is normally ipad speak for, we haven’t a clue what’s going on.

 

[ColinUK]

I should add that of course I'm pleased that an unsuitable meal like last night doesn't spike the old BG sky high like it used to do. It must mean that things are working better on the inside and that I'm more able to cope with the odd spike in sugars hittinh my system.
That said I don't ever eat "normal" ice cream any more. I think that means I'm the only customer for Moo-phoria at my tiny local supermarket. They even ask me which flavour I want them to get in next time!

If you've not tried it then get some. It's delicious. And it's much lighter than anything else around. Other than ice. Ice would have less impact on BG I'm sure. But it wouldn't be as tasty. Unless you added cookie dough to it. Which would counteract the low calorie / low carb nature of the ice somewhat.

Anyway... the cat is currently demanding to be cradled in my arms like a baby and I'm about to log in for work. Catch you later and for any rugby fans out there today sjhould be fun viewing!

 

[freesia]

really struggling with what to get Bruce lol, after so many years together it gets more difficult and

Haha , wait until you try thinking of something different after almost 32 years of marriage! It gets harder every year.

Treat yourself tomorrow, go back to bed after breakfast and have another snooze x
