Yawn ... wakey, wakey ... (2)

Morning everyone, just popped in to say hello.:flwsml:

Been busy decorating lately. Back to work tomorrow after a week off.:(

Hope everyone is well.:thmb:

Take care 02 .

 

Good morning everyone,

Its -15 here and the snow is back, it snowed a little overnight too.

 

Hi Peri,I go back to seer the nurse next Friday and will see what the levels are and hopefully she will give me a diet sheet to work from and she had been talking about the Metformin but won't know for definete until I see her.It is a nightmare at the moment because on that forum the advice is different to what I was told and when i spoke to my friend yesterday whi is type1 she said to follow what the nurse suggested until the results come back.Looks like it will be a life of lettuce leaves from now on:(

I walked into the kitchen earlier and there was a Song Thrush in the garden,only the second one we have seen in the nine years we have lived here.Grabbed my camera and took a couple of photos but the bird was a bit too far away:p The stuff i got off the garden will go into my compost bins and leaf bags and once it has rotted down further will come back and be spread on the garden.By getting rid of the leaves we can now see the bulbs coming up plus I found a few slugs that were living under the leaves so they got chucked in the road:hehe:

I gave up with the birdwatch as whenever I picked an hour all the birds vanished yet as soon as the time was up they all came back.I would rather it be over a day instead of an hour

Really cold here today and because it is windy won't be gardening today as I find that the wind seeps right through me when it is very cold.We might get some more snow tomorrow night so we shall see:gnthb:

Hope you have a good afternoon with the paperwork.:ywn:I have been trying to sort out holiday destinations with Mr Kandy by text in between doing house jobs this morning and then this week have to book the Autumn one now we know where we are going

Enjoy your rest of the day

 

Evening friends :luv:

My visits here are turning into night night posts :hehe: Another busy day and the computer has hardly been on but it's rest time now. Have a good evening everyone.

 

Good morning everyone,


Its -18 here and snow squalls are coming in off the Bay........come on Spring!

 

Good afternoon everyone,a bit late today but better late than never:D

Shiney I don't blame you for missing out on the gardening yesterday as it was bitter here so stayed indoors and got on with stuff in the warm.We then had rain in the afternoon and early evening but still managed our village walk after the railway programme with that Portilo bloke{He even mentioned your Birthplace yesterday or Tuesday:thmb:}:ntwrth:

Shiney,I have been last week to have my HbA1c test done and am due to go back Feb 5th for the results and then the nurse{she is type1}will decide whether to put me on Metformin or still try me with diet first.If the levels are too high then it will probably be the meds straight away.I have today weighed myself and have lost another 1lb which for me with PCOS and Menapause is pretty good.I have now altogether lost 1 stone since November:yho:{4lb of that was over Christmas} The nurse never mentioned a dietician as yet until she gets the results back{which she should have by now i would have thought}

Thankyou for the GI lists,I have a couple of them already in favourites and also have the GI book by Rick Gallop and a GI one that Tesco's do but have now noticed that they no longer put GI symbles on their packaging as we looked last week.My Cholesterol is 4.6 so I must be doing something right and am now just trying to follow a sensible diet so that I don't get too many Glucose spikes.Sometimes though in the mornings I wake up feeling like I am starving but have to resist eating a lot to feel less hungry.

We are going to see my sister on Saturday the one who has now lost 49lb though still has to take the Metformin.She has suggested a book by Stella Bowling called Everyday Cooking for Diabetics but I want to see my sisters copy to see what things I can eat.I have also bought Quorn sausages to try:p and also Pitta breads but even they can be high in Carbs.I think with this lifestyle change it is all about eating low carb foods but at the moment I am still trying to get my head round it all.

I expect in the end I will have to have one of those meter thingies,but don't know for sure until I see the nurse.I have also been told that I will get an appointment from the hospital for a Retinopathy test so Mr Kandy will have to come with me as from what I have read on the net they put drops in the eyes to make the pupils get big so that they can then take a photo or some such thing to check on blood vessels.

Oh and by the way,my sister has been found to have Cataracts so will need to get them sorted eventually.:p

Apart from that I still have all my facalties apart from my bad memory which I suppose I can live with...:D

Hope all goes well with Mrs Shiney's group at the weekend and glad to see Oscar is enjoying himself.k-lk-l

PS did you know that Cinnamon is also good for lowering blood sugar levels{Not many people know that,and also there are 500,000 people in this country alone who have Diabetes and don't even know they have got it

 

Good morning everyone,

Woo yes we are a day nearer spring and a day nearer the summer which hopefully will be warm this year:D Sorry though that your weather is a bit unpleasant
at the moment and hope it improves as the day goes on

Peri,sounds like you are going to have a good weekend.Hope the weather stays good for you and you see plenty of wildlife:gnthb:

I have just been watching the news{I know I'm sad:D} and some chap has been fined £60 with three penelty points for blowing his nose while sitting in a queue of traffic:pI don't blame him for refusing to pay because as he said he had the handbreak on and the gear stick in neutral so he is fighting it.:gnthb: It is about time the Police spent their time catching the real criminals and also all the people that are using their mobile phones while driving.:p

Hope you all have a great day

Anyway,he are a couple of photos of my GI books and my methods of losing weight.I can highly recommend the trampette but be careful not to get too close to the edge:D
GI books Shiney...

My training bike when my Sciatica is not playing up...

And our adopted cat Davina/Uggy trying to decide whether she needs to lose weight:p
