Good morning. 6.5. I too have had a restless night @Snowwy and I definitely think it puts the ol’ BGs up. I have friends coming for a garden lunch today, we haven’t seen each other this year so looking forward to it. Only problem is, the weather! Had a lovely few days and today it’s forecast warm but with thundery showers! Drat! Don’t think my grapevine covered pergola will shelter us from that! Fingers crossed everyone please. Have a marvellous Monday all. 🙂
4.9 for me this morning so it looks like I am heading back to my normal sort of waking readings after a couple of weeks with high 5's and 6's. Weird stuff this diabetes and a reminder, not for the first time, not to react to small changes in BG. Best leave things a bit to make sure changes have some sort of permanence before thinking about whether you should do something.
PS... above only applies if readings are in target range. 🙂
Dull here but still on the warmer feeling side, weather warnings out here for thunderstorms right through until Wednesday although I doubt we'll actually see anything, we never do! 🙄
Mum changed Bruce's dressing yesterday, it isn't actually looking too bad, about 10 stitches in there, the bruising looks far more horrific to be honest!
Anyways it's a 6 for me this morning, got Bruce attempting to bring shopping up today, well his cat still needs fed and the food is at his!
8.3 this morning after a 6.3 last night, strange how readings go up overnight, might be the weather, who knows.
Off to golf this afternoon followed by dinner with friends, have a great day everyone
Got the urge to leave the house today - at the weekends, there’s so many people around at the mo, enjoying their hols in lovely Pembrokeshire, that we hunker down at home! So by Monday, I’m chomping at the bit...a swift visit to my local M&S should sort me out. Need some new slippers anyway - the excitement!
Morning all, 7.8 for me today. Had a great day with our friends popping over for a nice relaxed afternoon. Roast Turkey, jacket pots, corn on cob and peppers done on the bbq. Laughs and finished the evening off playing Uno.
Morning all, 4.7 here, more chomping of jelly babies at 2am needed, I always hypo in hot weather, but it’s getting ridiculous, I probably need to reduce my daytime basal as well as my nighttime. Going for a walk this morning, along the valley to the next village, where there is a café doing Chancellor's Special half price lunches.
5.7 for me, beautiful day. Eldest Small Madeline is heading home after lunch, and youngest is still away so I shall enjoy the rare opportunity of being all by myself. Hoping for some spectacular storms to watch. Have a great day all.
Looking forward to a photo of those slippers @Bloden
Just pressed the baby blanket I have woven (avatar) and it is ready to hand over tomorrow.
The Baby’s Name is spelt out in morse code, a good way of choosing a pattern.
Abandoned our usual walk today, as it is still very hot.
Off In search for trees again, and new pure cotton white sheets.
As exciting as Bloden’s adventures.
You have to book for all galleries and museums yes. But the tickets are free. It’s just timed entry and for the National there’s a choice of routes you follow but you don’t specify that when you book.
Good afternoon all. Didn't get online yesterday as was crook. I'm thinking it's the heat. I'm a bloater! Or a puffer fish.
8.3 @ 7.01am but I did have carbs with roast dinner yesterday cooked by nephew. Some little yorkshires, some Aunt Bessie roasties, sweet potato, cheesy cauli etc so that reading not too bad really. I'm trying to fast inbetween meals. 🙂
Yesterday 7.5 @ 7.09am second day of trying to be healthier, as low carb as possible for me.
