G'day all :-)

Tawny, congratulations to your dad...he's moved into a fine age bracket :-D

Hello everyone :-) :-)

Hi Jem :-)

It's good to see Tec posting on the Aussie thread :-D

Veal and ham pie

Hi Allan :-)

Yes it's absolutely brilliant :-) Great to see his humour back too! What an example in endurance and determination he is :-)

You ok today?

Walnut and Pecan Pie

Yes, Tec is so positive.

I'm a little tired. I had a late night, and then later I have to go for one of my routine blood tests to see how my diabetes is progressing. So nothing to eat or drink until about 10.30 am (water is ok)

Angel cake

How do you control your diabetes Allan? Do you need insulin or is it diet regulated?

Bovril

At the moment, just diet and exercise. Hopefully I can keep it that way

Curd cheese

Your walks should help. Glad it's under control. Not a nice thing to have! What is the correct terminology- Condition? Illness?

DILL

I've heard it referred to by several different terms. I think that disease is the correct one, but it is commonly called a chronic condition. I feel sorry for people who have type 1, especially the young ones :-(

Emmental cheese

Figs

GP

Bonsoir Jemima :-D :-D :-D ;-) <3 <3

When I was a voluntary helper (I helped children with their reading) in my Grandson's school, there was a little girl with diabetes. She had to wear a small box-like monitor to check her sugar levels.

FETA CHEESE

Hi GP

Jem, I'm supposed to check my own blood sugar levels twice a week, not that I often achieve that. Some have to check their levels before and after every meal

Granita biscuits

You're not having -is it episodes that they're called though Allan are you? (I hope I'm not being insensitive!)

HORLICKS

I just realised that I missed GP! He's pulling my leg with French sayings cos of the Wales v France match tomorrow night!

:-D :-D GP!

No I don't , Jem. I was diagnosed 15 years ago and have just become lazy about my own testing. When first diagnosed my BS levels were all over the shop, but they now appear to have stabilised. I do like to eat at regular times, particularly in the evenings. When I was working and the social club went out for a meal we often wouldn't get served until well after 9.00pm which didn't help

I used to do a lot of work for the local Diabetes group and once even appeared on TV :-D

Juicy oranges

And that's my lot for the moment. Will be back later. Sleep well :-)

I have to Watch my sugar levels too.

Jemima - Good luck tomorrow - Were you at the last match dressed as a daffodil.
:-D :-D :-D ;-) ;-) ;-) <3 <3

GP

Now that I've talked your head off :-D I'd better go to bed!

You can tell me about the TV appearance tomorrow! :-D

Hope your testing goes well Allan :-)

Kiwi Fruit

Goodnight anyone else looking in :-)

Hi GP :-)

I keep missing you when I'm typing!

I was dressed in my red welsh rugby shirt with daffodil pinned on. Red Dangly earrings and my Welsh Cowgirl Hat!

Yes I actually have the exact same hat as was in my avatar! Well it's my Grandson's really- but I nicked it for effect! :-D :-D

Leek and Potato soup
