Same here @rebrascora, congrats. Third time this year, fab! What's your secret?

Oh, and why is 5.2 the optimal fasting value? (sorry for my cluelessness )

because it allows for wiggle room in either direction which is especially important to those that can suffer hypo's xx
 
Hi just checking in.
Mega problems with broadband - little or no service, after a series of bungles by BT and Openreach. May be off line for 4-5 working days.
Missing being on here and all the banter.
Reporting 5.1 & 5.0 readings for yesterday & today.

Wish me luck - i need loads of it.

Oh dear Dez. I don't envy you doing battle with BT customer services. I had several run ins with them 15 years ago and I would rather use 2 empty bean cans and a length of string than ever give them my business again. For a communications company their ability to communicate between themselves and with customers was/is appalling!
GOOD LUCK!
 
Good afternoon all. I'm aiming for a house special. I used to take it for granted! 7.5 @ 9.04am

OMG my last post took over 25 minutes to do with all the breaks and slow downs. 😳
And to crown it all, now Captain Sir Tom Moore has died.

Personally I don't know where the idea came from (someone will, though), but although it may be just coincidence, on the attached conversion chart it's as far into the green zone as it goes, so that's definitely the place to be.......

Thank you!
 
@Gruers, 46 years is amazing. I hope you've both had a lovely day.
@ColinUK i'm glat it went well, looking forward to hearing what might happen next.
 
Good morning, a rubbish 7.7 today. Was sad to hear that Captain Tom had passed but what a last year for him and for us, Rest in Peace Sir.
Have a good day all x
 
4.5 for me this morning. 🙂
Last night before dinner I registered a gobsmacking 16.1 with a "ketones" warning. 😱
I remembered that just a short time before I had used alcohol based hand sanitiser/sanitizer. So I washed my hands and got a reading of 5.0 and just to be sure to be sure a second of 4.8. I wonder if this was just a faulty strip blip? Has anyone else had strange readings after using hand sanitizer?

Morning all,
Six of the best for me with a 6.0.
Must be due an HBa1c check soon, will consult.

Blessings Snowwy
 
4.6 this morning. I seem to be on a downward trend in the mornings which concerns me a bit.

I had a hard day yesterday as my (diagnosed) paranoid schizophrenic wife had a 'bad day' which was very upsetting.

Everything just seems to get tougher and tougher. I feel very 'down' this morning. :-(
 
Morning all. Sensor graph shows i've been hovering around 13 all night and 11 now. Considering half hour before bed i was 4.8 so had a small chunk of cheese so it shouldnt have gone high, i checked. 8.8 on meter. Hooefully its the sensor bedding in, its been just over 24 hours since activation.
@Gwynn, so sorry you're feeling like that. It must be very tough, but know that we are here for those days that you need to rant about things. I hope your day is a better one. Big hugs.
 
Hello on this sad morning. Poor Captain Sir Tom, but what a swan song he went out on.
A near, but yet so far, 5.3 today. The snow has gone and turned to rain. Butcher delivery last night so a day in the kitchen for me, batch cooking up a storm.
@MeeTooTeeTwo not hand sanitizer but Royal Jelly hand cream, 16 on the Richter scale! Got a bit of a fright I tell you. I missed a HS yesterday, so congrats @rebrascora, and @ColinUK date sounded good, here’s too many more. @Gruers comgratulations to you and your wife on 46 years of marriage. @Gwynn hope your wife has a better day today thus giving you one. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone. 🙂
 
Disappointing 8.2 for me this morning. Must work harder on consistency! Didn't get my exercise with the weather being so bad... ground was frozen hard but it snowed wet snow most of the day which left an inch plus layer of slush on top making it unbelievably slippery even walking on flat even surfaces let alone trying to walk up/down the hill. My wellies don't have good grips on the sole so that did not help. Just a miserable, cold, wet, slippery day. Lets hope today is a bit better!

@Gwynn Sending (((hugs)))
Mental health is so difficult to deal with for the individual and their family. Do you know what triggered it? Hope today is a better day for you both!
