Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

Another Morrisons order due to be delivered tonight, that's Bubbles with 5 weeks worth of food now! And extras!

@SueEK yes I came to realise especially on the forum that some don't like brutal honesty but sometimes its whats needed, if they don't like it then they can lump it, I was brought up to be nothing but honest

Anyways it was a close to the knuckle 4.2 for me this morning so 1 glucose chew down and a 4.9 before breakfast

Have a nice day folks and stay safe

I haven't said anything that isn't categorically true, lack of support by management and simply not listening is not conducive to an effective running of the secretarial team within a very large surgery with 15,000 patients. The time had come for some straight talking and the other secretaries are saying same/similar things in their appraisals so hopefully this time they will get the message.
 
10:26 BS 5.1 🙂 AND a wee bit of a Drat! Overshot a HS by 0.1🙄:D😉

I’m all bright eyed, bushy tailed & raring to go after a long, tiring but, REALLY good day yesterday!😛😎:D😉 All I lacked yesterday was some sleep but, I slept in a bit today but, oddly not for as long as the day before yesterday!🙄

No need to call GP then as it seems 2 sachets maintenance dose is right: I’m completely on solid food now; not that I don’t enjoy the occasional soup but, it’s not ALL I eat like last week when 1 sachet was enough!🙄 Yesterday was completely pain free & almost discomfort free & hopefully today is better as there’s no backlog to clear?🙄:D😉

A bit late but, nonetheless a Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day full of Sunshine inside & outside, if you can: been awfully wet here on The Causeway Coast!:D😛😎 AND, as always, my usual😉

I’m off to have brunch: foil oven steamed sea bass, saute potatoes & micro steamed veggies!😛 I think I’ll maybe bring forward midday meds a bit after cooking when I eat so, I can fit in the Laxido about 90 minutes after?🙄 Oh, might as well restart metaformin today & see how it goes? Eek!o_O
 
6.8 this morning. And two hours post breakfast 7.1 so that’s ok but maybe the high (for me) waking figure is stress/sleep related.

Weight has also ticked up a tad - it’s nothing alarming but it is something I need to watch so I’m going back on the 600 cal day regime for a few days to get it back moving in the right direction.

Long term I’m reading lots of low carb and keto resources and trying to figure out how to ketofy my staple meals without resorting to bacon and pork rinds!

As much as I’m keen on baking I’ve also made a conscious decision to not explore the world of low carb/keto baking just yet. I will one day but just not yet.

Had an update on the court case yesterday. They’ve asked for an extension of a month on the deadline to respond to our action so nothing more will happen now until mid-September. And I heard about the job yesterday... it’s mine 🙂

I know that’s great but it also taps into a whole heap of physiological stuff because it’s going back to a job I left three years ago after a little stop gap job lasted six years. My inner critic screams that in a failure for having to take what it sees as a retrograde step. And yet my logical voice says that thousands of people have lost their jobs recently, including me, so drop the pride and take the job.

The boss (who is also a friend) has already said that when there’s the role in the management team he wants me working with him again. He’s also said he’s going to tap up his contacts elsewhere and see where he can find me a role which utilises my talents more than this one does. So that’s all positive.

Training days end of next week and then first shifts the following week.

That’s great news about the job and hopefully something else to look forward to in the future, things are looking sunny - well done and good luck xx
 
7.8 after pizza last night I’m quite pleased.

GCSE results tomorrow ...... I wonder how that will pan out after last weeks trauma.

@ColinUK great news on the job.
In terms of food I try to keep to 130g of carbs a day, usually under 100.
Take no notice of the giant burger and triple cooked fries, I didn't eat half the bread and only some of the fries.

All the best for the future,

Snowwy

Wow only a 6 for all that - I had only half a portion of chips and I was 7.8 today - not fair boo hoo 🙄🙄

@SueEK I ate less than half the bread and only some of the fries...
Other foods are not so kind.

noooooo!!! And you were so looking forward to them. I'm nipping to Sainsburys tomorrow, if i lived nearer i'd get them for you. Did they remember the caramel ones?x
 
@Sparkle as @Docb says I am Type 1, its not sugar that is the problem for any diabetic though, the sugar only really determines how quickly it will spike your BG, its total carbohydrate that effects diabetics, as a Type 1 my pancreas doesn't produce insulin anymore so I have to inject it, I have an insulin to carb ratio so as long as I count my carbs and adjust my insulin accordingly then in theory I can eat anything I want, of course I don't practice that all the time but after suffering from an eating disorder for over 3 years and doing without things now that I'm ready to try things like this then I will xx

They better be there! There's no mention of them being missing in the email, its not due to be delivered to Bruce's until between 9-10, got in touch with his mum this afternoon as I'm also in need of my bedtime digestives from Tesco and my Moser Roth 85% from Aldi! 😱 (Both are in the other town and his mum is the only one that ever goes through lol) xx
