Still very much 'under the weather' so to speak -- today a low-pressure induced migraine (Kyle is definitely coming our way) has been added to the stuffy head of the cold -- hopefully both will soon be gone and I can get myself out of this silly whiney mood. And, of course, the BGL is high and I've been into the comfort food to add to my own misery.

Fall is moving in around here but no frost on the grass as yet.

My weight is up but the BGL is doing fine. I've been indulging a bit too much in wine with meals - gotta ditch that before it becomes a habit. I go for HA1C again in October and need to get the weight back down to where it was the beginning of summer - aka the BBQ and Booze Season.

Hi . . .

Kyle was a fairly polite little boy here in my section of north-eastern Nova Scotia and caused very little disruption. Wish I could say the same for my 'hed-cod'. Not being able to breath makes me a little cranky. Not being able to taste anything, makes me overindulge in things like chocolate and pizza -- this is not good for the weight or for the BGL -- Oh well, will soon be back to normal I'm sure.

Hope everybody else is having a great day and doing all the right things.

Hello Everyone!

Back from the Girl Scout Campout. It was great for things like swimming and archery and crafts and tarantulas (eek!). It was not great for glucose levels.... The girls have to prepare for bulk (naturally!), so Saturday morning, french toast casserole and Saturday lunch was sandwich and chips and Saturday dinner was spaghetti and garlic bread and cobbler. Sunday I had nothing before I got home and could eat properly.

My bgl was up in the 190s and 200s for most of the weekend. Today I'm eating properly and my bgl has been in the 110s.

That was my first trip where I didn't have control over what I could select from since being diagnosed. Now I know what to do in the future.

Does anyone know if a weekend lapse like that does specific damage?

Well, the granddaughter had a blast anyway, and that's what is important!

Sounds like you're all moving quickly into Autumn! Texas is always alot slower at changing seasons. Texas seems to looooooove summer! So, we Texans enjoy anything we get that isn't summer. We may still have about a month to wait.

Husband is travelling to Iowa today and will be back on Thursday. We leave for Africa on Saturday and will be gone for two weeks.

There has just been alot going on!

Talk to you chickadees later!

Dyan

Don't worry about this. My dad is a diabetic too and he used to take me once a year or so on "don't tell mom, eat what you want weekends" The only damage it might do is make you miss the foods you can't normally eat. I also don't recommend it right before you had to your diabetes specialist, because they usually look at your last 14 days. But physically no, you'll be ok.

I have been feeling pretty crappy lately. I could not get my BG up yesterday. I would check it, take some glucose tabs. Then I would eat, take my insulin and then check again and be low. Today, I am super tired, which is starting to be a trend in my life and I have to go to Goodwill after work to start my Volunteer project.

It's the long-haul that is important DYAN . . . your one weekend of high numbers won't do any serious damage . . . well, other than a yeast infection maybe (at least that's what happens to me, but it usually takes a few days to show up.)

Cool

Hi, all. Fall is in the air here. Sunny but cool. BGL yesterday was a record low of 96. Today it was 158. Had food poisoning on Friday - the sandwich I had for lunch. That ruined my evening. Didn't stop me from pigging out the rest of the evening though. I need to make a plan and stick to it. Well, gotta run.

Hi there Sugar-Babes . . .

Hard to believe that it's the last day of September already isn't it. Wow, where does the time go.

Autumn is definitely my favourite season -- both the temperatures and the colours are divine -- and, now that the cold is finally starting to calm down, I hope I can really get out and enjoy the weather.

My BGL is still in the nasty range in the mornings and by bedtime it is quite happy. Tomorrow I will make the appointment for an A1C and see what is going on with the all important averages.

Also tomorrow, I will make the appointment for cat number 6 (Sandy) to have his surgery. That might slow him down for a day. Today, all the cats are getting lots of exercise running from window to window watching the birds starting to flock and watching the lawn guy who was just here to do the fall fertilizing and liming routines.

Hope everybody has a great day planned . . . try to keep things moving and shaking gang . . .

Good afternoon. I'm waiting for a techie guru-kid to show up to fall clean my PC but I suspect he forgot. He was to be here at 3:30 so......I hate that!

BGL has been good and the weight is slowly dribbling away - an ounce a day maybe. That means I'll croak before I get to a normal BMI! I'm not giving myself a ticker until I'm back in the 180s.

Rainy and cold today here and I'm holding out about lighting the woodstove. It just doesn't seem right to need it in September. Maybe next week. I'm ready for some of those crisp blue and gold October days!

Hello Everyone!

Amandarose and Meowee -- Thanks for the comments. I hope to begin to curtail the dumb questions I ask.

Rosetta, Rosey, Ruth, Cassandra -- I hope all is well with you. You seem to be enjoying the move into autumn!

Feeling agitated today because I just want my husband to get back already. He is supposed to return on Thursday, but said he might be able to get an earlier flight to be back on Wednesday. Fingers crossed!

Hope you ladies have a wonderful day. Will check in a few times before I leave for Africa on Saturday!

Dyan

Good Morning . . . and Happy October.

This month is definitely not getting off to a sunny start -- quite cold and overcast out there, but I really must get myself out and about for some errands anyway.

Weight is holding nicely and BGL is doing it's normal morning high routine. In other words, nothing new around here.

Have a great day . . . see you soon . . .
