Morning all,
6.0 for me with a dubious box of test strips...
I have checked them against control fluid and they were better at level 3 than 2, should I chuck them?
Anyhoo explored what's open and what's not yesterday in the town and the answer is pretty much most apart from you guessed it... bars and barbers the latter being much more in need than anything else.
Life is full of wants as we all know and they are usually material things but needs, that's a different ball-game.
Morning all 7.3 for me today, normally would be a little concerned that it is a bit high BUT got my results yesterday and delighted to report that my HbA1c has only gone up by 1 to 44 which I am very happy about. During lockdown, although still working, I have definitely not been eating as good as normal so was a little worried about what my result would be. All my results were normal other than my triglycerides up by .5 above normal which is fine so I am a happy bunny. Weight has stayed the same so all in all feel I am doing better than I thought. Doesn’t help when my husband keeps bringing home large sausage rolls. I gave in once on the day we had to travel to a London but adamantly refused the other day and told him in no uncertain terms to stop buying them for me. Hurt little eyes look at me and he says ‘but I know you like them’ aargh!!
Anyhow have a good day all, will catch up with the posts later xx
Well almost 3 hours on the phone to Curry’s yesterday, first time 1 hour, 18 minutes and 25 seconds and lost connection, had dinner and tried again, 1 hour, 36 minutes and 30 seconds and hopefully the message the woman then later left for me is true and I’ll get my delivery on Friday! Hopefully I can get a relaxing afternoon to myself today!
Morning all and another nice round 6. Happy with that. Nothing interesting happening today except a trip to eldest daughter’s workplace to pick up some eggs, from her hens, they’re laying well apparently. I will need quite a lot as the girls are coming round on Sunday to see their dad as it’s Fathers Day of course, but also his 60th birthday on Monday. We’re doing an afternoon tea between us, I’m doing a birthday cake, quiche, sausage rolls and scones and they’re bringing other stuff! The weather forecast isn’t great, I’ve told them to bring their pac a macs! So yet another celebration in lockdown. It’s getting boring now.
Congrats @MeeTooTeeTwo on the HS and @SueEK on a splendid HbA1c. Have a wonderful Wednesday all.🙂
Have some of our rain @Hazel - we got soaked and drenched on the beach yesterday afternoon! Sun came out immediately tho, so we were dry by the time we got home, hahaha.
The Health Service Journal are citing sources as saying that the government are planning to extend shielding in England to the end of July, and then the scheme with end. Even though the severity of risk in the country is still level four of five on the government's own scale, where it has been since March 12th. I do not know how they know what the activity of the virus will be like in six weeks time, yet I would be unsurprised that they think they do.
My camera lens never did arrive yesterday, instead I got an email saying my address did not match my card and I need to re-place the order. But there is no way on their site to do that, and the address is correct. I even had to go through my bank's extra security checks to authorize the payment. Very strange. I replied so will have to see what they say today.
After too much sleep yesterday, last night was a bad one and I woke sometime after 5am. I think on this occasion it was because it was too warm. Because it was too warm. Whilst I am not feeling too great right now, hopefully that is just due to a lack of sleep as my levels are back down to 9.3.
Hi a 6.3 this morning. We have a trip to the hospital today for Alice to see the psychologist. Forecast is for rain, I hope not as I shall be twiddling my thumbs waiting for her and was hoping to wander around the park next door.
Have a fantastic day all
