How about treating yourself to a jigsaw ~ that would pass the time away but can be frustrating at times but fun🙂 I used to love helping my girls finish off a jigsaw which usually was to fill in the mass of blue sky! haha!

Not a lot of room to do a jigsaw really and the cat just gets in the way, whether it be on top of what your trying to do or in the box! Lol, and hands are a bit too stiff with being so dry to try and fiddle with bits, I'm fine with watching Frasier, This Morning, Loose Women then Judge Rinder lol x

Ok you little couch potato haha!! Just don't let your eyes go too square will you!:DWhat are you using to help ease the dryness on your hands? I can recommend Neutragena ~ it's excellent for dry & cracked skin.

Fantastic number but your night sounds exhausting, can you rest at all or is your son past having naps?
4 30 is too early.

Thanks grainger that's kind of you 🙂 I hope all is good with you and your pregnancy and hope your little bump is behaving. Also hope you're not too tired after your early morning wakeup call from your little boy x

Please don't go mad but I'm not using anything, my hands are never out of water long enough for anything to do any good :(
I do have some E45 lotion and some Baylis & Harding cream I could give a go if it gets too unbearable though
Sorry for the delay in reply, I was getting a coffee sorted xx
 
Morning all, back in my more normal range but on the lower side of it with a 7.2. I was expecting it to be lower due to yesterday hic up resulting in no tea and being 10.8 at 10:30 last night.

I don't like wearing rubbery gloves and as I have OCD knowing me I'd still wash my hands afterwards anyway x
 
Ooops! Forgot I hadn't posted my waking BG. It's a 6.2.🙂 After a shocking result with porridge yesterday, thought I'd better test my Fuel Protein Wheat Biscuits again. I have previously tested them with just milk, & my 2 hour BG was impressive (no rise) but at the 1 hour mark they spiked well into the 9's (a 4 mmol/l hike). Well, with mixed nuts & seeds & a dash of double cream added, my 1 hour peak was 6.9, 2 hours was 7.8, so a climb of 1.6mmol, so not too bad. Would've been better if my starting figure was lower. I might try just one instead of two next time.
 
Wakey wakey rise and shine folks ~ time to get up! Only kidding:D You all deserve to have lie in on this cold frosty Saturday morning so stay under your warm duvets & dream on!!! x

Morning all. Vince, what were your fasting levels like on diagnosis? I see from your threads that you have got this thing under control really well! My FBG is 6.8 this morning - I’ve mostly had readings between 6 and 7 in the morning; usually around 6.4-6.6 and always struggled to get these down. The Dawn Phenomenon has always haunted me! Katie
 
Good morning everyone. 7.2 which I'm really pleased about 🙂 Although the amitriptylene is clearly playing around with my BG's and gastroparesis because I was 12.5 in the middle of the night - fortunately I didn't correct it because otherwise I would have been hypo this morning.
