Group 7-day waking average?

Thanks Northerner I think it's because I'm not eating as much as usual at the moment which affects how much is left in my tummy with regard to the gastroparesis and hence the impact on BGs 🙄 It's complicated🙂
 
5.9 this morning. Lowest this first week. High was 10.1, averaging 7.4 other mornings. A week on metformin and low carb diet.

Those numbers aren't too bad, it looks like you were diagnosed early, so hopefully the treatment will help bring those waking levels regularly under 7. I believe metformin can take a couple of weeks to 'establish' itself and you start getting the full benefits 🙂
 
Good morning And well done they are 'sehr gut' readings 🙂 (and my French is even worse!) I'm ashamed by my 7.3 today But its a new day and no more over indulgences of the carb variety!

Well, you know the reason for it and it's a learning process, so keep looking forward! 🙂

Good morning 4.7 for me today, no French today, all I can recall is how to ask for a baguette and cheese 🙄

I remember when I was in France after Uni (no UK jobs so I went over there grape-picking - no immigration rows back then either!), a favourite easy meal was to buy a baguette and some bananas, tear open the baguette and stick the banana in - instant sandwich! They had some lovely bread, but the only problem we had was that we didn't know the names for the different types of baguette, so if we got a particularly nice one, we didn't know how to ask for it again and ended up with a different one! 🙄

Imagine the carbs in that now! 😱

Nice number, by the way! 🙂

I'm awful at languages, although I apparently spoke German fluently when I was five/six because I was born and lived there till I was six. I didn't believe it until I went to Berlin about ten years ago and randomly I could understand what they were saying but had no idea how to reply, they must have thought I was very odd when they asked a question and I responded in English. Can't read German because I went to an English school. I love listening to German too, very brusque but has a lovely rhythm. I keep saying I'll try to wake up the area of my brain that is clearly German but never get round to it. I could get by in French as a tourist, and Spanish i sort of understand but I end up speaking a sort of Spench because my Spanish teacher was French and would randomly switch to French mid sentence :D

Hope that very boring paragraph bored your blood sugar down to normal....I live to serve 😉
 
My degree is in Russian, and I have a very basic understanding of slavonic languages generally. Also did French to A level and first year Uni. I've always been interested in languages and have been trying to learn Mandarin for a while now, and have tried Arabic, Swedish, Dutch, German and Norwegian, but have dabbled in things as obscure as Maori and Navajo 😱 I also studied computational linguistics! 🙂 I know virtually no Spanish, for some reason I've never applied myself to that.
 
Ha ha ha Keep writing Kooky Im nearly down to acceptable levels! 🙂
 
Was going to add I have gcse French and German but blimey northerner that's amazing! 🙂
 
Sounds as if you like a challenge, Northener. Spanish would be too easy for you!:D
That's really interesting - no really! - Kookycat. Don't worry about speaking Spench...my students speak Spanglish sometimes.😛
 
Wow you lot with your languages🙂 6.2 for me this morning🙂
 
Have a go at Euskara sometime Northe and let me know how you get on. I just can't get my head around it at all.

That was on my list years ago but I couldn't afford the book at the time 🙂 Instead I went for the Navajo, and the assistant shouted across the bookshop, 'See, I told you someone would buy it!' :D
