Oops! 😳 Forgot to post this earlier, 06:57 BS 7.1.:confused: So, so smile as it’s OK ish! Already had usual half oatcake & half breakfast dose. Just put lunch in the oven, 30 minutes wait, & just sat back down when I remembered I hadn’t posted yet!🙄 Having sheperds pie again with turkey mince: would that be a Turkey Pie?:D🙄😉

I only had a wee walk about 1/3 of the way down the lane before getting lower back ache: 1st sign of being too tired & if I don’t stop my legs can stop working due to neuropathy; so, rested a bit & headed back in. So, only about 250 steps! But, I can build on that: don’t push myself too hard! But, actually my arms ache a lot more as I still tire easily & I’ve been doing a lot of cooking: being right handed my right arm aches more than my left; it’s the upper inside part, is that the biceps, that ache! 🙄

A rather belated, little miss forgetful, Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉 There’s a bit more sunshine, here, today & may you all have Sunshine on the outside too but, as always, it’s carrying the Sunshine with you on the Inside that REALLY counts!😎:D😛😉

Take care of yourself @Lanny
 
Also forgot to post this morning. And forgot to take my bloods on waking so it’ll wait until the morrow now!
But before lunch I was a 4.8 🙂
 
Well I have a choice of readings. Woke up early after a bad dream and felt unwell and since I had done more exercise yesterday and gone to bed on a slightly lower reading than I would normally (5.2), I thought I might be low. Got up and checked and it was 6.9. Decided to jab my 2 units for DP and go back to bed for a couple of hours and woke up on 3.5, so my DP definitely seems to wait until I get up and get going before it kicks in. Had a very small hypo treatment because I knew my levels would start rising, shot myself another 2.5 units for breakfast, waited 45 mins and then ate, but I was up to 10.7 by lunchtime so that strategy did not work well!

I bit the bullet yesterday and ordered a Libre starter kit. Decided that since I have had it confirmed that I will be getting the Libre on prescription at some point in the (hopefully) near future, I am going to blow the money I am spending on extra test strips (plus a good bit more of course) on the Libre, which I feel I can afford to fund short term. My erratic lifestyle means that I often eat late at night and then sit waiting to see what my levels are doing into the small hours before going to bed. I am hoping the Libre will give me more confidence to head off to bed earlier and help me to time breakfast more accurately to even out the spikes.

Congrats to @Hazel on some good readings the last couple of days including a good old "Hazel Special"
 
Afternoon all. 8.0 @ 6.33am down from 9.8 @ 9.59am yesterday after just one day of more sensible eating. Also down from 95.2 to 94.6 but I'm not sure what they are, kilos? The scales just decided to change from stones and pounds. 🙂
 
Well done @Ditto. Can't believe you chose your birthday to start a new era of being focussed on low carb..... just shows you do have will power. Take it one day at a time and find low carb foods like your steak and Brussels which you enjoy to treat yourself every day. I find my coffee with double cream on a morning is such a treat that it sets me up for a day of being good. Taking time to really savour that treat is important, so set time aside to eat your food slowly and chew it well and really be in the moment with it to enjoy it. That way it is much more satisfying.
great result with both BG reading and weight. Go girl! You can do it!
 
5.3 for the very early bird today. 🙂
I'm off shortly to search for worms. 😛

Stay safe and well and don't burst any bubbles.

Dez
 
5.6 this morning. And weight stubbornly not budged an ounce so I’m still in the 15st range - just.

@Lanny I keep edging into the promotion zone and then being pushed out of it which is frustrating! Got my first hole in one yesterday though 🙂
 
Morning All, 6.1 from me today
 
7.7 today, maybe as Im feeling unusually nervous, tummy is in knots, left arm tremor shaking a lot today, not really like me but am sure all will be fine, probably just the travelling I’m not looking forward to. Had review yesterday but with nurse not DN. will speak to her when I get the results.
@Kaylz hope your washing machine turns up today and you can get back to some sort of normality. Have a good day all x
 
Morning everyone. 6.4 today. Very dark and dismal, we asked for the rain for the garden and it came and now won’t stop. Missing my lounging about on my lounger, I’m having to do.....housework! :( Had a walk in between showers yesterday, 5.5 miles, met one family, only the hardy out at the moment. Well, I have an exciting day ahead of me, ironing whilst watching “ c**p” telly and I’m making a crustless Quiche Elaine for the tea which we will have with new potatoes straight from the garden. Have a good day, TGIF for those who aren’t furloughed.🙂
 
Morning all and allegedly a 3.9 with a downward arrow, 4.6 with an upward arrow other side of the room and 8.2 on the finger after feeding the cats. Lots of red during the night as well. Not sure about this sensor!

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning

Well chanced my luck and tried with Curry’s again yesterday 2 minutes before the lines opened as theres a heap of recorded bunf to go through first, actually got to speak to someone VERY quickly, apparently they hadnt cleared the payment their end because there isn’t actually any of the model I ordered in stock! A notification would’ve been nice! They expect a delivery from the manufacturer on Monday of 95 machines, 72 of which are already earmarked by me and others in the same situation as me! Could be here Tuesday or Wednesday, if I’ve not heard anything by Wednesday morning they’ll be getting another call as its unacceptable enough as it is!

It's a 6.9 today

Stay safe and enjoy your day
xx
 
Morning folks. 😛 A flash 3.9 and a bleeding 5.1 here. I like this sensor!

I’m looking forward to doing some gardening without sinking into the mud, LOL.:D

Hope that pesky machine arrives ASAP @Kaylz. Sounds like Curry’s are in meltdown - some companies are coping, some aren’t. Brittany Ferries have swallowed up my summer booking, and closed their helplines and online contact system!😱 NOT exactly helpful - I’ll just have to wait and see if I can get my money back.:confused:
 
@Bloden sorry to hear that, hopefully you'll get a refund ASAP, I'm certainly not happy with the service from Curry's and I don't think I'd use them for large appliances again, it wouldn't have taken 5 minutes to get in touch and let me know what was happening, I just hope they get in touch with good news on Monday, its a right hassle with Bruce carting washing up and down the road everyday, having to fill the kitchen basin with the shower and having to pour it down the bath and carting it back and forward xx
 
A 6.5 this grey morning. The final bits of painting in the attic to do after laying a new floor, then the enjoyable bit of putting everything back in place, and deciding which things having not been used for 12 years really should go. Will I ever go back to painting, when I know that there is my loom downstairs.

Enjoy your homegrown potatoes @eggyg . We have rocket, lettuce and strawberries so far. Love it
Not too much housework @Robin . It just needs doing again all too soon.
I hoe you can get your refund @Bloden

Have a good day whatever you do.

We have lettuce coming out of our ears! Why do we grow so much? Strawberries are going red now, enough for a small portion. @Robin our broad beans were the same after the rain started last Wednesday. Shooting up like mad!
