@DuncanLord congratulations on your HS.

6.1 this morning so heading in the right direction, still laid up in bed with this lurgy, so hoping to start improving soon, so bad I have had to take a sick day, despite working from home. Anyway home Covid test was negative, so that was a relief.

Hope you all have a good day.
 
Just having another quick look around the internet.

It seems that different countries have different advice, but most opt for 5 vedge/fruit a day. Portion size varies too.

However the UK is in an odd position as it was recommended in 2014 that 5 a day (of 5 fruit or 5 vedge or mix) was insufficient and that it sould be 10 a day. However, I don't think they rolled that out. Probably too complicated for us mere mortals.

France recommends 5 fruit AND/OR 5 vegetables

So the obvious question. Is 5 or 10 portions of fruit/vedge best, and does it really matter.

Those 'in the know' think that it does matter.

BTW, I couldn’t spot a problem with BC not moving his upper lip (I can’t recall who raised this). He simply smiles a lot, which is a good thing. He’s enthusiastic and not too earnest.

It’s easier to understand the end of the universe when explained by Professor Brian Cox.

Don’t worry about it!
It’s just the government changing their minds about the rules. …… And we have got used to that over the last few years, or was it months.
Seems like everyone has a different point of view.
Does it depend where the fruit and vegetables are grown as to which rules the governments of the world follow and get their populations eating home grown rather than foreign?

Just found this and remembered that the forum jammed as I was trying to post it yesterday morning....

4.8 for me this morning after a Dextrose tablet through the night to lift me out of the red. Same basal dose as previous night when I went high and I went to bed on a similar number, 7.1 last night. And no significant increase in activity through the day so I really don't get it!

@MeeTooTeeTwo Nice one Dez!
@freesia Congrats on your House Special too.
@merrymunky Better reading this morning and fab weight loss result! Hope that helps to keep you motivated. Onwards and downwards! Well done!
 
And today's result ....

6.8 this morning but that was after a 3 unit correction 3 hours earlier and several corrections before bed, so got yesterday well and truly wrong. I went to my sister's for dinner. Hypoed from my Levemir just as I was helping dish up dinner at my sister's so had to have a jelly baby right before my dinner. Then jabbed 2 units bolus (still hypo but everyone was sitting at the table waiting to eat) Ate my boiled new potatoes first and then the rest of my dinner. Injected 3 units afterwards, went for a walk, came back and all beautifully in range. Had 2 scoops of rum and raisin ice cream (14 ish g carbs) so another 1 unit insulin as I was in the low 5s and decreasing slightly and needed to drive home and left their house on a really nice 6.7 an hour or so later. 45mins drive home and I had gone up to 9.8 and rising so 1.5 units correction (stacking I know but I am pretty good at judging it) and knocked half a unit off my evening Levemir since I had hypoed the night before and earlier in the day. Had another bit walk despite it being midnight but levels continued to rise. Ended up with another 3 unit correction.... also stacked 😱 and still woke up on 12 at 7am having been in double figures most of the night!! Another 3 units correction plus my usual Levemir dose and dropped off to sleep again as I really didn't fancy starting the day on 12! Had a nice lie in and woke to a better number of 6.8 although still not as low as I would have liked or expected.
Don't understand why I have to have so much BG upheaval each time I have a lovely family Sunday dinner (at 6.30pm), especially when it looks like I have managed it really well for the first 4 hours afterwards! It has happened the last 3 times. I wonder if it is the sudden carb increase when I usually eat low carb. I am guessing maybe increasing my evening basal dose and taking it earlier (say 9pm instead of 11-12) might have been a better option to deal with it than all the quick acting corrections late at night. Must remember to try that next time!

Anyway, Congrats @DuncanLord on your House Special for today.
@freesia .... Just WOW! Fab stats!!! So jealous (mine are absolutely shot after last night!) but soooo pleased for you especially after your recent BG upheaval.
@Lanny and @Grannylorraine Hope you are both feeling better soon.
@SueEK Fab result this morning for you! Hope you can figure out how to repeat it.

No surprise there! :D He said way back in 2011 in Wonders ofThe Universe it’s written into the laws of nature & those laws can’t be different for Life to be possible at all albeit, a short window of time!

Loved his reaction at the end of last week’s episode 3: the latest theories of how information in Black Holes are released back to the universe after it evaporates, Hawking Radiation; “it’s so cool, so cool, it’s bonkers!” And it DOES seem so after I searched the internet for the theories! o_O:D
 
Oh! Almost forgot! Feeling better after a snooze after asda shopping came 40 minutes early: made me laugh when the text came later that they’re on their way; this has happened a few times & this time was the earliest & despite setting alarm for 11:30 it was here by 11:20! 😱:D BS is finally coming back to better control with 15:25 BS 6.2 about 3 hours & 30 minutes after eating! So, have the numbers about right, for now, before things change again! Ain’t diabetes fun: never static, perfect for long; either too low or too high a la Einstein’s theory of Relativity!:D😉

Thank you. I have no idea how i did it and am fully expecting it to change soon. I just thought i'd screenshot it and save it to remind myself i have done it once. I hope yours settle down soon @rebrascora. I think i would get confused with two basal doses. Changing one basal and bolus is enough for me!
