And another narrow miss this morning for me... 5.3!
I’ve started using ear drops (for the first time ever) and the whole experience is very weird. It’s the fizzing inside the ear which is most peculiar but guess that means they’re doing their job. Time will tell regarding how effective they are.
Off out soon for a long walk to meet up with my old boss for breakfast. He’s bringing his adorably bonkers dog who is the dippiest thing ever and I’ve not had a lick from her in ages! She’s called Duck. I’ve no idea why!
I might hop a bike and cycle as far as I can on this particular dockless bike scheme and walk the rest of the way but either way I’m looking forward to meeting up with Ben and having a good old catch up. Oh and he’s interviewing me Monday for the fundraising job 🙂
Other news: my nephew got his A level results. He was expected to get A, A*, A* (physics, maths, further maths) and needed A, A, A for his first choice uni. Results were A, B, B - which is bonkers as he’s never got anything other than straight A’s for maths all the way from his first tests. Not that it matters really as his first choice Uni confirmed his space so he’s in!
He’s got tonnes of serious allergies (sesame, tomato, raw egg, newsprint, all nuts, stone fruit to name but a few) that he’s going to have a fun time navigating the joys of late night kebabs I’m sure!

All of the times that I have been to to my doctor bout my diabetes this test has never been mentioned. I do go to see the nurse every 8 weeks or so along with other diabetics but we just have a reading taken and our blood pressure taken. Have not been since the outbreak of Covid as they have been cancelled. I am 2.8 this morning.

Ask to have your hemoglobina glicosilada done @Michael12421 - bit of a mouthful! 😛 It’d be interesting to see what your score is with all those fasting lows.
Morning all. 4.4 here - no gardening yesterday, but I did paint the smallest bedroom. So much nicer now that I’ve got rid of the custard colour. Unfortunately, the rest of the house is still coated in custard, but at least now I can shut myself in my ‘office’ and get away from it!
Glad to hear there’s movement @Lanny.😎
Well done @Baz. 😉

Morning
Well things didn’t go as well as they could have for Bruce, they did an x-ray and everything on the inside seems fine but the top of the wound hasn’t healed so well, he’s had the stitches down by his hand area removed but further up they could only remove alternate stitches, back on Monday in the hope the rest can come out but they also think he may need a course of antibiotics as it’s looking a little infected where it hasn’t healed as well, it’s a right pain with having to travel 40 miles as if his mum is working then his dad has to miss out on his plumbing jobs but also book off from the fire service
Mum picked my prescription of Tresiba cartridges up for me yesterday when she finished at the charity shop, she had her own to get as well and only a few doors away from the shop, now I'll need to reorder needles, strips and sensors 🙄
Anyways
Congrats on yours @Baz.
@ColinUK I know many won't agree with this (but then again we all do things we maybe shouldn't) but when my ears are blocked I'm guilty of syringing lukewarm water into them, gets the problem solved instantly rather than having to put up with being unable to hear properly for days
Have a nice day my lovelies and stay safe

Congratulations on your HS @Kaylz & Clapping Hands Emoji!
That lukewarm water in the ears is not such a daft idea, you know: once asked for something to clear wax from my ears at a chain of chemist/beauty shop, very similar to Boots, Watsons in HK & was given a little pressurised can of saline water with a very fine, long nozzle attachment. Had never come across it before but, it worked a treat & didn’t smell unpleasant as ear drops do! Tip to one side, spray, wait a minute, stick a bit of cottonwool in, tip to other side & let the saline drop back out & absorbed by the wool!

Morning. After a shocking 8.4, I washed my hands again and used another finger, 6.8. So I’m declaring that as I don’t deserve the higher one! 😉 The kids were up before me today! Full English today, these are farmers’ children and love to eat proper food. I’d rather feed them for a week than a fortnight. They’ve eaten us out of house and home, and all three of them as a lean as lean can be as they are never still. Planning on a walk after breakfast to work it off, me and Mr Eggy aren’t lean! Have a super, sunny Saturday. 🙂
Congrats @Baz. poster boy for HSs!

I'm glad Curry's didn't adopt that approach as 1 there would've been no room in a shared closey for a washing machine and 2 there ain't no way me and mum would've managed to get it in! Most companies are adopting a face mask and you stay in a different room approach thankfully xx

Morning all, sorry to miss yesterday and @Snowwy and @Baz. 's excellent results. Some of my yoga group have been meeting up in each others gardens to do yoga each week and it was my turn yesterday. We make a cake for after and I was planning a cougette and chocolate cake. I asked my husband who always gets up early to wake me at 8 if not already up and I woke up at 8.45 with him still fast asleep. Bit of a rush to get the cake in the oven, so no time for morning check in!
A 5.4 this morning after a disaster of a day yesterday with lots of hypos. Decided to eat dinner first before insulin as was going low again and then did the classic of forgetting to do it. Was a disaster as was a Chinese takeaway, so ended up battling the high teens til 2.30 am. Ho hum. Don't feel I deserve a 5.4 this morning!
