Not best amused either, didn’t sleep well again and when I did get to sleep woke up half an hour later to find my few hour old Libre sensor hanging off ☹ now sat on bedside table and I’ll try to remember to call Abbott tomorrow, will leave it until just before dinner to apply one as catching up pm Hollyoaks just now
Anyway a dreadful 9.6 for me
Happy Mothers Day to all those with kids and to those that should have, we often get forgotten about on this tough day

Still up although not for much longer so, will post this! I just got my golf results of another 9 Hole Cup mini tournament &, a drumroll please, I’ve finally broken into the top ten, JUST, at number 9 in pro! Mini tournament’s only last from Thursday to Saturday, instead of Monday to Sunday of full tournament’s with 2 qualifying days & a final. Good thing I’d already qualified on Thursday BEFORE this tummy bug hit me & was recovering yesterday so, played the final & finished at 6th. Place! I knew I would drop after that, as others finish, & hoping I would stay in the top ten! I DID, just about but, I’ve broken into the top ten now: top 5 after that; then the podium positions of bronze, silver & gold after that? 🙄😛 Here it is:-
With a score of -12 for 9 holes: the leaders above me were only 1 shot lower on -13!
7.8 today. Beautifully sunny and no wind, makes a nice change. Happy Mother’s Day to all.
Call from consultant was disappointing, just wanted to know how I was, if symptoms had changed, discuss a few details of the op but basically only 2 of the 3 hospitals that do it are starting up again so it will still be a long wait, ho-hum the wait goes on.
Met my friend and went for a walk yesterday, haven’t seen her for months, was great to catch up.
Have a good day xx
Increasing my food to start the weight maintenance diet does not seem to have affected anything.
Carbs yesterday were 125g which is about twice the amount I would normally consume. But I have to get those calories up and at the same time not break the fats or cholesterol bank.
Morning all,
A 5.8 again today.
I have now completed 313 miles on my 'virtual' Land's End to John O Groats run and apparently I am somewhere on the A34 near Whitchurch!
4.5 for me weight is coming off at a steady pace and I'm eating very well since reducing carbs. I worked out the other day that I was having around 500g's of carbs a day going by average day so since mid November 2020 it's been around 90-110g's aday looking at my stats. I have never felt more alive in years, mood is better don't get hunger spikes and feel full so hope my scan results show a reduced amount of fat around my Liver, which was done on Friday if it hasn't at least I should be able to slow it or stop more building up.
Good morning all. After a hypo mid afternoon yesterday, before tea last night it shot up to 16 and took 2 lots of corrections to bring it down (i know...i shouldn't correct after a hypo but i felt awful). This morning, woke to a 5.1.
Every meeting we play. Different words for different meetings. We used to play invigilation cricket too. Left hand up 4 runs. Right hand 2. Need to borrow 1-5 depending on what and we used to get bonus point for getting the the children 1st!!!
Love the idea of invigilation cricket. I was so glad when we didn’t have to do that any more. Some friends still go in to help with this. I shall mention the idea to them.
Hi @mum2westiesGill
I think people mit miss your appeal for advice on readings in this thread as it will get lost in the general chit chat
If you have time it would be good to start a separate thread and post in there.
Any difficulties with that let us know.

5.3 this morning. I feel I am cheating as the pump is doing this for me now.
Thinking of you @ColinUK . I hope that you can get some help from Survivors UK.
You will know when it is right for you and friends to share with them what has happened.
Beautiful sunny day but still very windy, but the grey clouds are now approaching.
I shall get out under a bit of blue sky at some point today.
Hi again @mum2westiesGill
I have had a look but the screen shots are a bit fuzzy and I can’t work out the format.
Is there something particular that is worrying you ?
