My mare was over a month overdue with Jack. I was like a walking zombie with all the sleepless nights waiting and watching. Apparently there is no procedure for inducing foals. I was worried sick he would be too big to come out but she managed fine (he was her 4th foal). I think she was holding out for better weather.

@eggyg congrats on your HS
@MeeTooTeeTwo what on earth is wrong with your meter!!
@TinaD hope the foal arrives soon so we can see lots of piccies x
@GRIFFINLONEWALKER welcome and great idea. My three are:
1. My grandchildren
2. My caravan
3. Decaf coffee and lots of it
So a horrible 9.3 today after small portion of lasagne yesterday, pasta really doesn’t like me, I’m sad, I love pasta.
Very chilly here at the caravan but warming up, lovely sunny day outside. Hubby feeling a bit better but can’t take his temperature as the new thermometer decides it does t want to work today!!
Have a good day all xx

What is “HS” please? Whatever it is, I want one.
7.4 this morning - still too high I know but one of my better fasting readings after a big spike last night.
Trend is generally stable or down though overall so hopeful that another month of changed habits will tip me further down before my next blood test.
In other news - have lost 6% of my body weight in the last month.

Morning all... bit undecided today as far as weather goes.
7.9 this morning, due no doubt to the -30% temp basal I put on for 6 hours to avoid a red line all night as per the two previous nights. TIR now 15% in the red!!!!!
@freesia I went through the Libre settings, turned all off and back on again, which changed nothing except that I have alarms again.
@eggyg congratulations 🙂
@MeeTooTeeTwo
@GRIFFINLONEWALKER
1. My hubby who is my best friend. Even though I would happily have strangled him yesterday.
2. My other lovely friends
3. Having a warm safe home.
Going to meet a g/f in town for lunch in a really nice independent cafe that serves delicious food. Then early this evening meeting friends for drinks in the local. So not much of anything else will get done today!

@GRIFFINLONEWALKER I’m showing three things I’m thankful for in photos.
1. The view from my bedroom window this morning.
2. Mr Reed Bunting finally stood still so I could get a photo.
3. “Alexa, add Darjeeling to the shopping list.” I’m never deleting this!

6.6 on this chilly morning.
Waiting for daughter so we can go grocery shopping, about the most exciting it gets today lol
The end of another week and the start of another month....my birthday month woo hoo! Would have been my dad's birthday today, bless him, he will be with me in my thoughts, as always.
Have a good Friday and hope your weekend will be a pleasant one.
Keep safe, keep warm, hug those closest to you
And I hope you won't get any silly April Fools jokes - I almost got caught out by Alexa this morning - my poor son was going to get a right telling off until the penny dropped.... ... lucky escape there!

She's lovely! And I'm sure she's making a list on a doggy forum where she's saying that she's grateful to have you in her life as her best mate as well!

Morning everyone. 13.9. Bit better than the last few days have been. 😉
Kiddo is back at doctor today later on and we are supposed to be going out for lunch. In a town full of coffeeshops / tearooms its like "so, how many carbs can I get you for your lunch today?"
They phoned her half an hour ago saying the dr wants to speak to her today (she already has appointment with him and told them that) and not much else. I called them back to find out what it was about and apparently it is about her anxiety. So they phoned to tell her she needs to talk to a dr and not explain that it was for her anxiety thus making her more anxious to come in. Like seriously they knew what it was for so why not put her at ease and not trigger her more than she already is. 😡
@ColinUK you are indeed fabulous and @Elenka_HM you are just as fabulous as Colin
@GRIFFINLONEWALKER hellhound (sorry piper, you will always be called hellhound now) is adorable 🙂 welcome to the thread!
Todays reason to be thankful:
1) I have a beautiful new niece that her big sister seems to actually like
2) It snowed yesterday and not today making today's trip out much easier
3) You lot have stuck a smile on my face as usual with the silliness (but dyamm that 52.2 @MeeTooTeeTwo, might wanna get that meter checked)
hugs all around, now everyone, go be fabulous today 😉

10:53 BS 9.2 with a sore head, queasy stomach & feel miserable! Yesterday was a struggle as both ny ears were intermittently sore & this morning’s wee feel finds the other, left, side is a bit delicate too under the chin; it wasn’t yesterday!
Still my day went a bit better as I started a bit earlier but, while Tresiba comes up to speed the later it gets the higher my BS goes so, the NR IS NOT going down & I’m rising overnight!
Here’s my day yesterday
A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
Half hearted 6 NR in as with queasy stomach I don’t EVEN want to try half an oatcake! Will close my blurry eyes, wait for Tresiba alarm set for 11:30 stick in it, test again & DP bust again properly with oatcake if I HAVE TO & go back to bed!
Still feeling rough & last night was freezing cold & heater on all night: snow wouldn’t surprise me; not been up to see!
Sorry I haven’t read any posts on here today & I really must stop my headache is getting worse straning my eyes! 😳

Well! For once, maybe because I’m still horizontal as I posted, 6NR correction has worked & 11:50 BS 6.4 Just as well as I was dry heaving a bit from the queasy stomach! Sitting upright now & alarm went off at 11:45 must have split the difference given it went in a bit late yesterday at 12:00! 90 Tresiba again & pills & some rest if I can? Although that fast drop makes me think I might TRY a quarter oatcake? Since there’s another 3 hours of active NR left? Then again, DP may take over at some stage! My poor fingers were buffed down yesterday evening as I was having to go deeper for blood & tender but, needs must!
