Good afternoon world, earlier this morning BS was 6.4 which wasn’t so bad considering,
as like a few others I’ve had a stinking cold & cough yesterday hardly slept (upset stomach last night)
BS yesterday was 7.something on waking
no festive or socialising celebrations are planned, which is just as well,
got to pop to a supermarket for a few essentials, but not a big shop.
Have a Great Christmas everybody that is celebrating with family & friends,
and a restful day those not celebrating.

4.7 at 5.45am this morning, took my granddaughters to see Santa in his'woodland village' with the Grinch trying to stop the children finding Santa and his house, Phoebe (4.5 years old) had a wonderful time pelting him with fake snowballs, she hit him more than she should, as he was sensitive to her throwing capabilities. She's been more excited to tell everyone she beat the Grinch than seeing Santa 
congratulations on the HS @harbottle, thinking of you @rebrascora and hope you get some sleep soon
Merry Christmas and Happy holidays everyone

6.8 this morning. I'm so happy that it's stabilised.
I went for a Park Run this morning. It took me 41 minutes to get around but I haven't been running at all lately. Lovely to see so many happy, motivated people.
Not much happiness or motivation back in my parents' home where I've been staying since Tuesday (I'll be back home on Monday) but I did my bit by cooking us all lunch of minced beef with noodles and veg.

Late check in for me as we’ve been rushing around visiting family today, which was nice but only back home now. Anyway, 5.3 this morning, so a good start to Christmas!
Now chilling at home and decided to stay in as we are both quite tired and neither of us fancied going out to the local Indian restaurant as we had planned. My wife is especially tired after having to work a night shift last night due to a member of staff failing to turn up to work, so she had to rush in at 9:30pm and wasn’t home until about 6am today
Congratulations @harbottle on your Christmas Eve HS!
Hope your stress levels drop and your overnight BG levels don’t @rebrascora.
Happy Christmas Eve everyone!

I really miss Park Run. Even walking it now would likely take me around 90 mins and I’d suffer!

Good morning, Merry Christmas! 🙂 6.7 for me today 🙂 Have a fabulous day everyone! 🙂
The DF has already been up, and is really happy with her present from Santa! A just reward for her tireless efforts to keep the diabetics of the world informed about how to manage their blood sugars, andinterfering helping by sprinkling a little of her Fairy Dust to keep us on our toes 🙂 She's booked on the next NASA Orion spacecraft with a one-way ticket...

Merry Christmas everyone. 7.3 on my Accu-Chec as my Libre sensor is hanging on by a thread! Told me I was 9.9 arrow straight up! But funnily enough doesn’t show on the graph. It’s due to be changed tomorrow anyhoo.
Been up since 6 as our children ( 30, 35, 38) starting messaging us at 5.35! Big kids that they are!
Off to the farm at 10ish where we will all meet and exchange presents, it takes about two hours! Then off to our respective homes/ in-laws. Nice quiet day for us which makes a change, but in hindsight, very fortuitous this year. The thought of feeding 13 with a busted ankle fills me with horror!
Have a great day, what ever you do. 🙂

Happy Christmas all, 5.1 here. Son breezed through passport control yesterday, he said it was quicker and more efficient than when they’re not on strike. Just waiting for everyone to wake up ( I think the cat is awake, but nobody else yet) then we can open the pressies.

Good morning and happy Christmas everyone.
Been up since 5am preparing the turkey and vedge. It takes longer than I thought it would. Made some meringues along the way too. Still got the traditional prawn cocktail to do.
BG incredibly 5.2 Happy Christmas pancreas !!!
Still a few things to do. Just sat down to have my breakfast.
Have a great day today whatever you are doing

Lots of stories in the press today about why there’s zero delays at passport control with the troops manning the posts.
Turns out that troops have zero authority to apprehend anyone suspected of criminal activity as long as they have valid travel documents.
They can’t seize items either.
So there’s tales of suspected people traffickers, drug runners, people on wanted lists etc just being able to come in as they want.
Merry Christmas.
