Hello everyone. I've been AWOL again and am embarrassed to say that my morning reading was 11.2. I knew it would be high as I really overdid it yesterday and basically ate like a "normal" person, finishing off my evening with two huge chunks of a giant Toblerone that a friend brought us back from Switzerland. Good news is I came clean to my husband and he put the rest in the food compost as neither of us actually wanted to be eating it. I had a good Christmas & New Year although I went down with the horrible cold & cough that so many seem to have had, just after Christmas lunch so at least I held out until then. We spent New Year in Scotland with friends which was great. I was the only non-drinker out of 22 (including the teenagers!), but they all know and I didn't feel bad or uncomfortable slipping away after dinner if it started to get a bit boring and raucous. Had my latest HbA1c done on Wednesday and I'm not holding out a lot of hope for a good result which is really annoying as I did manage a good month but in between two bad ones. They're also testing my cholesterol to see if the statins have made any difference yet. Our house move is still in the pipeline and we're hoping to exchange at the end of the month but I'm still being super cautious and spend my life touching wood, crossing my fingers and saying "all being well" - it will be SUCH a relief when it (hopefully) happens (touch wood, all being well!). Have a great day everyone and I will be here more - I clearly need it to keep me on the straight and narrow xxx
