It is good if we each find the job that suits us.
When I speak to primary teachers I am always in awe. I could never have done their job.
I was fine when they get to 11.
When I was chair of the PPG I was also so aware of the importance of all the staff that support the GPS, and also of the abuse that they often receive from patients when feel the Practice doesn’t do what they expect. Many forget that their own health is their own responsibility. The Practice can only help those that want to help themselves. I hope you had a better day today @SueEK

You’re not wrong, the whole surgery is like a finely tuned machine that’s a bit off key at present. Thankfully I don’t work in Reception as they are the ones that get it in the neck from the patients and some people are pretty horrible. 😳
 
Morning all. 6.4 today. Had my flu jab yesterday and my arm is surprisingly sore. Off to work soon, last day, I have a week off and I’m very glad for it.
Hope you all have a good day x
 
A 5.6 from me today. I’ve lost another fraction of a pound that takes my BMI down to the magic 25.
 
4.5 this morning for me. 🙂

7.8. It’s lovely and cool here and raining. No idea where the children go when it rains at break/lunch. Guess I’ll find out shortly !
Have a good day.

Yes Sue, had mine on Saturday and been sore for 3 days, just worn off.
 
Morning all,
A 6.2 this morning with a very poor nights sleep score.
No idea why but BG quite often reflects this.

Morning

6.9 for me today, could be better but could be worse

Enjoy your day folks
xx
 
Morning. 9.1 for me though i went out to eat last night for friend's buethday. Couldn't look at menu before and she chose the place. Menu was total carbs so 9.1not too bad on the whole.
@Bexlee, our children have to stay in the classroom if its heavy rain at break and lunch. I can tell you, the mix of smells of food isn't great, even with all the windows and doors open, and the food goes everywhere 😱
 
wow a 4.7 after Dominos pizza last night, my body may finally be getting back th ability to handle carbs. But back the low carb again, still more weight to loose - must not get complacent at this point 🙂
It's a good day despite the rain, we have water again and, touch wood the internets might be fixed :D.
If the teenagers start acting like humans again - It will have all been a dream 😉.

Flu jabs - yes or no? I’ve never had one, am not an anti-vaxxer, but am wary of the flu jab.

I will get mine when offered, no real down sides.
 
6.2 this wet morning. I have literally just been stung by a wasp! I spotted our local sparrowhawk on the wall at the very back of my garden, I got a blurry photo before he flew off. I decided to sneak up to see if I could see him, we have a wasps nests under our decking and a wasp buzzed around me as usual. Came back in as no sign of sparrowhawk just a few feathers, opened my iPad, logged in here and .....ahhhhhh! I dived up, threw my dressing gown off and a bloody wasp flew out and the sting was stuck in my shoulder! Panicked as couldn’t get it out and it was stinging like mad, woke Mr Eggy, who was fast asleep, he dived out of bed, which isn’t good for a man with a heart condition, and got the sting out with the tweezers. I’ve put some insect bite stuff on, but my arm is feeling very, very stiff, a bit like when you’ve had your flu jab. I’m in pain! Any suggestions? I can react badly to most insect bites. Great start to the day! :( PS just had a antihistamine tablet I got earlier in the summer for an infected bite.
 
So as I was going to bed last night my reading was 10.5 so there was obviously a bit of residual glucose which my bolus insulin wasn't touching. Took a correction dose of 3 units and woke up this morning with a fabulous 7.1 so quite happy with that. Maybe this is something I'll need to get used to doing to get my levels to under 7.

Had a bit of trouble getting blood this morning but hands were pretty cold and I hadn't drank during the night.
 
That’s unusual, @eggyg, for a wasp to leave the sting behind, its normally bees that do that. The old wives remedy is vinegar for wasps, bi-carb for bees, to neutralise the alkali or acid respectively. Though I think an antihistamine trumps both.
