Morning all. 6.6 @ 7.09 🙂 Just koko at the minute. We once gave someone a pop-up Kama Sutra. :D

Seems you can't move around here at the moment without running into temporary traffic lights. Placed an online order when I got home and wished I'd done that in the first place.

Doesn’t always work, we’ve got the same problem round here, with the addition of a railway bridge closed for repair, so I put an online order in with B & Q. Guess what, it didn’t arrive. They didn’t respond to my first email, they responded to my second more irate one a couple of days later, saying they would 'escalate' it and I would hear from them within 48-72 hours. If that’s the speed of their escalator, I’m glad I’m not stuck in their lift!
 
11:30 BS 8.7 Actually relieved it isn’t higher as I took EVEN longer to sleep last night, popped the murder mystery audiobook back on, drifted off past 03:30 the last time I looked at the time, 6am alarm went off, too reluctant to respond & drifted off again! It’s all because it’s my diabetic phone review from the hospital today! 😱 It’s only on the phone but, I’m still nervous & at least without having to physically go there my stomach is ok or I’d be face down in the sink again!o_O So, with LR 5.5 hours late it wasn’t really too bad! Bunged in the whole lot LR now plus 14 units NR with half an oatcake as I don’t want DP to send me even higher!🙄

Just about squeeze in a morning greeting if I’m quick! 😳

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 Siri helped out there as more or less the whole sentence popped up on the top of the keyboard for me to press, & type, with a single finger tap!😛:D😉

How about for a bit of fun if people who test in the mornings post their waking levels? I think it would be interesting to see what the average works out at after a week 🙂

I'll start with mine - I was 6.0 when I woke up this morning 🙂

(please don't let me be the only person to enter one! 😉)

Keep at it @crystalangels Are you consistently that high? It is very high and you need to be reducing it. I would think about dialling 111 as 27 is very high. Try drinking plenty of water.
 
Was a 5.4 for me. Have been out and about in the sun today having a good walk and my levels have been pretty good. Hba1c just came back as 63 so pleased with that as it's coming down, slowly but surely.
 
10.3 this morning .
 
Spent most of the day in bed today. Got up an out to get to an opticians appointment (normal stuff, contacts and specs) and now setting in for my Survivors U.K. call.

Chilli is on the stove and I’ll have it with half an avocado and some cheese for supper.

Tomorrow I’m going to try and get to the gym. If I don’t push myself then I fear I’ll hide away.
Speaking with the GP tomorrow and asking to be signed off for a bit as without a certificate my attendance at work looks awful recently and frankly I need the pressure being taken off a little.

On a not entirely unrelated note we have a court date for one of our preliminary applications to the High Court. Once that’s out of the way then we serve papers and take a step closer to getting our day in court.
 
At last got my diabetic phone review an hour & a half late, thought maybe not today? My liver has indeed worsened a wee bit but, still not TOO bad & my Hba1c has gone back down again now that I’ve got the increased basal right to compensate no metaformin: down from 63 in October to 62; just 1 less but, not up is good! 🙂 Doctor says I may need more cholesterol meds upped a bit but, will arrange, & wait for appointment, for more blood tests, fasting this time, at the hospital before deciding?🙄 She blanched a bit when I updated her on my insulin doses: did tell her I’d upped the LR quite a bit to compensate for the metaformin; pleased by my NR doses going down quite a bit, though! Overall she’s still ok with the increase of LR as she says I’m right to stop the metaformin as it one less thing aggravating my liver!🙂

But, that late phone call means I’m eating dinner much later than I’d like, just gobbled down ham & cheese toasties with tea, & will bung in evening LR just a bit past 6pm, posting this, & turn into bed as I hardly slept last night! 🙄

A very Goodnight to all! 😉,a bit stuffed emoji & a snoozing emoji with a stream of z’s!

I used to live in Kings Lynn, my mum was born there. Used to get the steam train from Lynn to Hunstanton when the railway was there and the pier was wonderful. Old Hunstanton beach was my favourite, my other nana lived there, such lovely memories 🙂🙂
