loving them, my current running shoes are plain black, which is totally not me at all. Thank you for sharing a bit of running shoe porn. I see we are both on the same diabetes runner facebook page.

Hi Nikki and welcome. You will find everyone friendly and supportive here, whether it be a good or a bad day. Keep those carbs as low as you can, says me who hasn’t been very good of late lol. Look forward to seeing your posts x

Hi Nikki and welcome to the thread. Pleased you found your way here.
That's a nice "in range" reading to say hello with (same as mine this morning) but don't feel awkward about posting less good ones here too. They happen to the best of us 🙄.
Do you have any particular plans for the weekend?
 
Hi Barbara. I made the mistake of watching the Move More video, and booked myself in for a class at the gym!!!!! Ah well ... Apparently it involves barbells 🙄. How about you?

Oh wow! Good luck with that. Hope you enjoy it.
I prefer to walk or what I call yomp mostly. It serves several purposes.... gets me from A to B and back, so saves fuel and the environment, keeps me fit and helps with my diabetes management, without having to pay gym fees.
I am retired so everyday is a weekend for me but have quite a few animals so plenty of chores. Highlight of my weekend may be delivering horse manure to local gardeners and cutting a hedge, but much of that will depend on the weather!
Got 2 exciting events next week though.... Not eaten out for nearly 2 years now and got 2 meals organized... a birthday bash at our local Chinese restaurant which is very good on Thurs and a Christmas meal in a pub on Sat. Feeling a bit apprehensive about both in the current climate but also looking forward to getting dressed up and going out and having food that someone else cooked! My waking readings may not be so good next weekend I think!! o_O
 
Morning Everyone!
Been up since 3am with time of the month pain and feeling rubbish and wasn't sure if I was going to be able to fall asleep again (spoiler I didn't grrr)
14.7 (after going to bed on 7.2)
going to be a wee anti-carb carnivore today until levels come back down and get something in me to sort pain out. Will check again in a few hours.
 
Good morning all, although it feels like the middle of the night! 6.2 for me, been awake since 4.45. Got a tickly cough and was struggling to get back to sleep, so here I am. TBF the Coop in the village started getting its delivery at 5.50! Heard the lorry at first, then it reversed beep, beep, beep! Even now at 6.15 they’re still trundling the cages around the cobbled streets! o_O

Anyhoo, had a good day yesterday hip/pelvis/back wise, ended up walking 7.5 miles, did a wee hill, just 255 metres, back down to Lake Windermere and onto Wray Castle ( which was closed for the winter) and back into Hawkshead. Back started niggling a bit about four miles in but I did my stretches when I got in and had a nice hot bath. Then I went and spoiled it all by having a hypo! Got out the bath and didn’t feel right, I was 5.1 before I got in, shouted on Mr Eggy who brought up my Libre reader and some Kendal Mint Cake, reader said 4.2 but I knew I was hypo, ate a small piece of mint cake, then the alarm went off, 3.7 and I was shaking like mad, I don’t do hypos usually and this gave Mr Eggy a fright shovelled in more mint cake. Slowly came round, but didn’t feel right for ages even when BG shot up to 7.1 within 20 minutes or so. I definitely didn’t over bolus for my lunch as I’d made my own and ate it on our walk, and I’d pinched some of Mr Eggy’s fruit malt! Obviously the exercise and the cold probably. I will be careful today, although we’re just pottering around the village as the Christmas Fair is on, looking forward to it. The village is looking very Christmassy and all the businesses and residents have lights up. Just need some snow now, but it’s forecast rain. :( Hopefully it will clear up for the lantern parade and Carol singing at 4 o’clock.

Have a great day everyone and for those having Christmas nights out/ meals, enjoy. 🙂

Good morning everyone.

My left eye is healing well. Why oh why do they give you eye drops to put in that sting!! Still, not complaining, just really glad one eye is soooo much better than the other now

I agree it is very dark out there. Windy too, but I will go out in a short while for a trip to the shops. First time out in weeks. Looking forward to it.

BG thankfully is becomming a bit dull.... 4.8 again this morning although yesterday evening it was higher than usual for me at 5.7, still fine.

I have thought of a new update for my App (it's definitely a hobby now).

I shall make a pizza this evening I think.

Have a great day whatever you are doing

Oh, I might venture out and buy some wood to build a cabinet thing for the kitchen for the Ninja Foodi I will be giving to my wife at Christmas. I think she may have guessed that I have got her one (she is usually very bad at guessing such things) because we have been discussing that type of thing for weeks deciding which she might like best, AND there is now a huge wrapped present for her in the lounge!!!! So subtle.🙂
 
Good morning 5.8 for me today.off to Trentham gardens today with all the family not sure what it is daughter booked it I just paid.it will be lovely to see the grandkids all together hope you all have a lovely day x
 
Good morning 6.1 this morning
BS just before sleep yesterday (well technically it was early this morning) was @ 5.4

have a fantastic weekend everybody whatever you’ve planned
 
04:42 BS 5.7 🙂

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 🙂

Just did the after breakfast test & peaked at 07:24 BS 8.5 which is an improvement from yesterday’s 7.4 to 9.1. The rest of yesterday was all in target range & I’m bang on the border of target range from breakfast today & hopefully for the rest of today as well! 🙂

My little sniffle delayed things a bit this week but, everything’s fallen into place now & start working on getting my Hba1c back down again! 🙂 It was a blessing that my worsening Hba1c was a bit precursor to changes I needed & hopefully things will get that bit easier now?:confused:

Strictly quarter finals later tonight & then more of The Wheel afterwards: love that quiz show for it’s sheer randomness! 😛
