Morning all - it's a lovely day. Forecast to be 14deg but probably higher in our garden, which is very sheltered.
7.4 when I first woke. I'd corrected a 4.1 at 3 am with glucose, half a biscuit and a -20% temp basal for 2 hours. Also woke up with a horrible head cold. How does my nose contrive to be both bunged up and running like a tap? Usually it's one or the other. I've not been able to understand my BGs for ages, nor see a pattern, but according to another thread on here that could be the 6 weeks course of Doxasozin I had for the Rosacea.
Got the massive pile of ironing done yesterday + sorted all the house plants out, ordered some clothes online (I'll probably send most of em back) and cooked a full roast dinner. Would like to take it easy with the cold today and just sit in the garden, but half the shrubs in our pots and tubs look dead to me, so need to sort those out so I can assess what we need this year.... probably bedding plants and worry about shrubs another time. Julian has treated the wood of the new arbor and assembled it and it looks great - rather Japanese. He's now painting the frame of the mirror that goes under it with hammerite. Hopefully this arbor will last longer than the metal one it's replacing, as we've had to decimate the vines that covered it, in order to get rid of the rusting bits of frame. Gardens are a never-ending money pit!
@Eternal422 in 2015 we attended a meet of my old diabetes forum. Of the 5 blokes there 4 had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Julian was the 5th. He got a phone call from the Dr on the way home asking him to get tests as his PSA was very high and sure enough he was positive. All of the blokes are still with us and if they aren't healthy then it's not because of prostate issues. J gets checked every 6 months. So chin up my lovely, you will be fine.
Congratulations to @MeeTooTeeTo and @Pam123 on your HSs.
Have a lovely Bank Holiday folks.
