I hope you are OK @Colin g - have an easy day, drink lots of fluid and rest, although sounds like you had a lot of sleep last night sometimes thats what we need when we are under the weather. Have you any LFTs to test yourself,

I don't have any . Since I got my libre sensor a few years ago . Stopped getting my test strips ( penny pinching me thinks ) never had anything to test for keytones . Was unheard of back in my day . Had this now for 55:years . If I ever do get to see a diabetic specialist or nurse at hospital. Will be asking for some . Got dog out along garden centre having a cuppa just tested 5.8.was wondering if it's just dust . We walked through a cut wheat field Thursday. Dog was kicking plenty of dust up . Certainly wasn't from anything I ate yesterday

I may be wrong, but I thought Jenny was meaning LFTs as in covid tests rather than BG test strips?

I did watch it. They were all really good. But the right person went. Glad “you know who” was out the episode before! I wanted to shove a bomb up his backside!
I see Lesley Joseph is on next week. I hope she’s better than Sue Pollard was last year! She got on my nerves. I’m beginning to think I’m becoming a grumpy old woman! :rofl:

Oh yes, what a numpty "you know who" was, expected everyone else to do the cooking for them! Totally agree about Sue Pollard!

I've made enough for an army so you are welcome! Spare bed going begging since our mates don't want it!

@Colin g you really ought to have some ketone strips. If you get the ones you pee on then the cost is negligible. OK the blood test ones are quite expensive as they cost the NHS £19.95 for 10 + you need the right meter, but it's a lot cheaper than admitting anyone to hospital. So look at it as saving money for the NHS rather than costing them!

I watched MasterChef last night too. I agree the right person went. So far i think the semi finalists are really good. Strictly to look forward to soon too.

Wordle in 3 today, i thought it was an easy one. How did anyone else do?

Four for me today on Wordle.
I’m really looking forward to Strictly. The first show starts when we’re away but it’s just the one when they find out who their partners are so not bothered about watching when I get back. And I nearly know everyone who’s in it this year for a change.
 
Good afternoon peeps, it's a level 5.0 for me at 06.15 today after retiring on a 10.2 last night.

Do you drive? If you use a Libre to test for driving, there is a legal requirement to carry test strips and a meter, and to double check an unusual Libre reading, or if you feel hypo.

I don't. drive Having diabetes put me off . I know plenty of diabetics that do and fair play to them . Did a carb counting course a few years back with another 7 type 1 diabetic s . Some of their driving tales we're eye opening to say the least . And two of them were police officers

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! 😉)

If I work out how to test my blood in the first 20 attempts before giving up, I'll defo do this! :confused:

Good morning everyone. Up late!

BG 4.6 again. Interesting. I rekon I could get my next HbA1c even further down. Hmmmm

Today walk, church, lunch, walk, rest, tea, rest, sleep. And it's a chicken Kiev for tea too.

I may take my new hearing aids to church today. It might make it interesting to be able to actually hear what they are saying !!!

Cleaned the inside of the pipework under the kitchen sink yesterday, and removed a very rotten, smelly chop stick my wife had managed to drop into it some time ago, and tons of nasty, smelly dirt. I hate jobs like that. But it is now done. Ugh!

I am now really starting to recover from my longer walk to Lytham and back the other day. It really was a strain, but great exercise and it shifted a bit of weight too.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
