Morning all with an added pinch & a punch, it’s a 4.0 today.
Braving the post office queue today, it’s outside the shop and they let one in one out so hopefully about as ok as it can be. Good bye pink sparkly sandals-we just weren’t meant for each other!
Hope you’re all doing ok today🙂

Morning all, a better 6.4 for me today. Cleaning yesterday and thinking about decorating the toy room (3rd bedroom) today, well at least start clearing it out, hubby keeps load of useless stuff in there along with the toys. Poor doggy has hurt her shoulder and can’t put her paw down, looking very unhappy, giving her massages and having to carry her into the garden, up the stairs, onto the settee etc.
Have a good day all and stay safe x

Oops 8.4 this morning. I knew Ince I got basal rates sorted they would need changing again!!
Loving the Sewing Bee @eggyg.
No one obviously going to win at present but a few ready to leave early.
Sunshine and a chance to thin out the seedlings where big enough.
Needing to encourage the fish to come out from their cover.
They are still nervous after a heron popped in for breakfast.
Have a good day.

Later than usual, 09:29 BS 5.7. 
Very pleased by that! Had a lie in this morning & thought it would be higher.🙄 When midnight Levemir went in BS 8.8 so, stuck with 20 units, yesterday’s was BS 7.7, & I wake on the same number that I did yesterday, albeit hours later! NICE planning!😉
The change of metformin tablets, from SR (slow release) to normal, is REALLY working now & even the extra wee bit, I’ll just say, of wind has settled down after a week & a half: MUCH better than stomach cramps! 🙂 And as I AM now digesting it, I only ate twice yesterday & the day before that: was eating 4/5 or meals a day before that!😱
My tesco shopping is coming later today, 15:00 to 16:00, & I’ll be batch cooking when it does: slow cooker chicken casserole for the freezer. Then, will have chicken & prawn sandwiches: making my own; not ready made. Not hungry this morning so, the usual half oatcake & half the breakfast dose: now at 10 units of Novorapid; just reduced from 24 to 20 yesterday when I DID eat breakfast. Didn’t eat lunch yesterday & just bunged in 40 units of Levermir, reduced from 44, & then, dinner with 12 units, reduced from 16, of Novorapid. I’ll stick with that today; lunch dose, albeit late as it could be after 16:00, will be 16 units, reducing that from 20, of Novorapid. We’ll see how that goes?🙄
It’s looking quite grey today & last night was chilly: had the heater on set to 15C before going to bed so, I wouldn’t wake up when gasping in the cold air that constricts my windpipe!😱
Anyway, regardless of the actual weather, on the outside, I wish you all a bright day filled with sunshine on the inside, where it REALLY matters!😉😎
PS:- it seems quite extreme to use😱 for an “Eek” emoji but, I don’t know which other, of the new lot, to use? Scratching head emoji!!🙄😉

Hi all, 8.5 for me this morning. Day off work but need to go out and do banking and stuff. I'd normally do it on my way to work as I start at 10 every day, but the banks are opening at 10 at the mo. So have to do it on my Fridays off.

Good morning everyone🙂
I woke up on 3.2, a slow steady decline overnight. Never mind, sorted with a Glucoboost (which is horrible) and a slice of wholemeal toast. Jelly babies arriving later today, thank goodness. Yet another adjustment to evening/night basal, methinks.🙄
I see that DIY stores are opening again this weekend. That's a huge risk. Normally, it's easy to keep up social distancing in DIY stores, with their wide corridors. That's the theory. They aren't as wide as you think, as any wheelchair user will tell you. There are always choke points with packs of garden furniture or some such in the aisles. And with 6 weeks of DIY deprivation, there will be crowds. Just wait and see. I feel sorry for the checkout workers, all poorly paid, and dangerously exposed. To say nothing of the bugs on the trolley handles.
Spent another £300 or so restocking my watercolours (artist quality) and some high end watercolour paper. Ready for the summer now, with long hours of daylight. BBC 4 have been showing Bob Ross's Joy of Painting at 7.00 most nights. It's fun to watch, but he uses completely non standard oil techniques, wet in wet, and breaks every rule. You can still buy Bob Ross equipment, even though the poor guy has been dead nearly 20 years. Died at 51 from lymphoma. He does use one Old Master technique - he covers the canvas with Titanium White (the Old Masters used Lead white, no longer made) which I do, though he leaves it wet. It makes every colour you paint on top of it shine with true colour. This only works with oil paint, of course.
Right, art lesson over. Have a good day, folks, and don't go daft In Homebase. You know it makes sense.🙂

The lowest reading I've ever managed to get in the morning is around the 6.0 mark and usually I get it around 7.4 - 7.9
I'm not using any meds as I'm doing my best to control via diet (and now a bit of a step up in exercise) and during the day my levels rarely go any higher than 7.0 after meals ( 1 or 2 hours after eating) and I do get readings mostly during the day of between 5.0 and 6.9. All these are mmols/L
I've had a couple of shockers when I fell off the wagon and tried some home made bread but I've learned my lesson on that and I am being well behaved again now.
Just checking but this is okay isn't it?
I suppose I am seeing people with levels of 4-ish and going how I feel when my levels are around 5.0 (dizzy and ears ringing and a bit spaced out) I cannot imagine how I'd feel with levels that low and it is making me feel a bit anxious that maybe I've been getting complacent.

Didn’t want to post too much this morning as I am always anxious on scan day but I had my final growth scan today. 36+4 weeks pregnant and my baby girl is looking great. Estimated weight is around 7lb 2oz so a good healthy weight but not too giant thank goodness. She’s head down at last and induction is booked for 12th May. Eeeek.

Well I spoke too soon.....It is a very disappointing 8.8 this morning for me but I had lunch and dinner yesterday as I started feeling ravenous and I have craved all day today. I wonder if it was having 2 lots of hypo treatment yesterday which set me away wanting carbs. I tried to make good choices, like a small piece of sweet potato and some butter beans mashed with olive oil with my salmon and green beans and aubergine last night and this morning I have had boiled egg and cheese and korma with kale but the korma was pretty sweet and then I have picked at things like no sugar berry jam with crème fraish and eventually I hit a crème caramel (20g carbs) and finally the dark chocolate with peanut butter but nothing has taken the edge of the insatiable urge to binge. I go days when I am hardly hungry ate all and then I suddenly lose control for a day. Hopefully I will be back on the wagon tomorrow.

I'll get the Brasso out and set to polishing it tonight in case I get the opportunity to parade it tomorrow.

Is it just me or has anybody else noticed an increasing number of "stealth joggers" these days.
You know the ones I mean. There you are out on your allotted daily exercise, they approach you silently from behind in their top of the range Nikes. Before you even know they're there, they swerve life-threateningly close to you, as they overtake and envelop you in their miasma of sweat and expelled germ-ridden breath. 😡
Legally, they should be made to ring a bell or blow a whistle, to alert you in good time to perform the necessary avoiding manoeuvres.😛
That's my moan for the day. I'm off now to don my Hazmat suit to take my early morning stroll in the park.😱
Afterthought!
It could be I don't hear them because I've got my earphones on at full volume.🙄
Oh!, nearly forgot my reading this morning 4.9. 🙂
Stay safe and well and stay well clear of "stealth joggers".

Good morning on what I hope will be a happy day. From today us oldies are allowed out for the first time in almost 9 weeks.
There are restrictions in place as regards times but as my village has a population of less than 5000 we have more freedom. I can go out with my dogs between 6 am and 11 pm! Larger conurbations are much more restricted. Can't wait to see the looks on my dogs faces when I utter the magic word 'walkies'. I was 4.0 this morning.
