It was actually from my local off licence. I just happened to say to the checkout lady that it would be nice if they sold chocolate. "Yes, we do" says she, producing one of the above.
And no BG rise after last night's 2nd half. 😎 Perhaps the alcohol content negates the effect of the chocolate. I think further investigation is called for. :D

Good morning. 5.4 for me today.

Very frustrating afternoon yesterday spent with my very uncooperative sewing machine, but then my husband arrived with my prescription including 2 shiny new Libre 2...yay. (Sewing machine now sorted, so hopefully I can get in and finish my current upholstery project...garden may have to wait until tomorrow).

Looks like another bright and sunny day ahead..will be even nicer when that chill breeze disappears though.

Have a good one everybody.x
 
7.6 so another disappointing reading! Off swimming again soon, it later at 9am today as changeover day at Haven. Bright but chilly here today but have had a very relaxing week, certainly don’t fancy work on Monday but hey ho, got to pay for it somehow.
Have a good day everyone x
 
I’m not jealous at all @eggyg - Wastwater is such an eerily stunning place. Will you get to drive over Rhinose (?) Pass. It’s so steep! Have a lovely day. :D

Moooorning.😛 A pesky 7.8 here after a long-winded hypo before bed.

Enjoy that Friday feeling folks.😎
 
Good morning. Another gorgeous day if a little bit on the chilly side. The sun is very welcome tho.

Settled my hotel bill and will be on a mid afternoon train home to Bristol for the weekend before leaving once again on Monday morning (at a very unearthly hour) back to the big smoke for 3 days.

After bumping into an old colleague from Chambers who was in shock at her own T2 diagnosis, I had a steak and green salad for dinner, berries and fizzy water. Slept like a log and the FBG is 5.7 this morning.

Sitting outside having a coffee and fried eggs, bacon, mushrooms. Cold but wrapped up.

Tomorrow a belated 40th little Covid secure party in the back garden, picking up a new car which is exciting (mid life crisis thing you might say) and walking on the Downs or perhaps heading down to the coast for no fish and chips for me!

Wishing you all a great TGI Friday and a splendid start to week's end
 
7.3 for me this morning but it might have been lower if I hadn't had a Lift at 4am for a 4.4. Makes a change from injecting insulin at that time of the morning though!

Good morning. 5.1 for me at 4:15 am.

Another day in paradise...coming up (wife not so good)

Actually, the central heating chap should turn up today about 1pm he said. Maybe he will have all the right parts this time. Here's hoping.

Life could be so easy. So much fun. So enjoyable. But I have found it to be so tough at times (like the last 35 years). I dare not say 'things could be worse' because in the past when I have said that, all hell broke loose. So I will say, 'Things could be better'. Let's see if that helps.

Morning all. All the fives 5.5.
Up early as we’re off to the Lake District. Not going to the usual honeypots, but to Wasdale/Wastwater. A little off the beaten track so hopefully be quieter. Also close to the coast, so a trip to St Bees Head on the return journey. We’ll walk a small part of Wainwright’s Coast to Coast path and all being well, should be able to see the Isle of Man, Scotland and the Lake District fells.

Have a fab Friday all. See you tomorrow. 🙂

Fantastic part of the country! My mother was born not very far from Carlisle, just over the border in Scotland, so Cumbria is very much part of the family! She moved back there after dad passed away.

Have a fabulous day.

I bumped into someone I haven't seen in ages, up here in London who is now a Recorder in the Crown Court.

Normally, we'd run round who we know, gossip from Chambers, Bar Council schtick etc but as she was literally just diagnosed with T2D, there's no prizes for guessing where the whole conversation went. Her FBG this morning was 9.0!

A socially distanced gin and diet tonic lasted over an hour as we compared diabetic management notes and I've recommended she signs up here or at the very least checks out the compendium of sage advice which has certainly helped me immensely. She needs encouragement and support of that there's no doubt.

Just goes to show - the fittest, slimmest and those regularly following balanced diets are not immune from unwillingly joining us all in the diabetic club.

Didn’t realise you were a legal eagle!
 
Morning it’s a 7.8 on a sunny day.

Pump supplies are in the house arriving before end of day but not the new type of cannulas I’m waiting to try they’re still a no show.

Have a lovely day in the Lakes @eggyg sounds great.

Enjoy your day, stay safe and well. 🙂
 
Feel c**p this morning so I’m expecting BG to be in the upper range...

Assessment for group work with Survivors U.K. this afternoon followed by diabetic retinopathy check.

And BG is....

7.0

I live in Carlisle, born and bred, but paternal side of the family is from Annan, just over the border. We are very lucky to have the lakes and Scotland so close, although we can’t visit Scotland until Monday! It’ll take us 1.5 hours to get to Wastwater. We could be in a Scotland in 10 minutes! Crazy!
