Thanks Bovinia. I fight back every day with it. And yes, we eat lots of cucumbers from Aldi. We make up a "spray" that we use on ALL our produce after we wash it. We all need to be proactive with everything, and especially with what we eat.

I am on three diabetic meds now and they are keeping me inbetween 90 and 120 as long as i take them correctly. Metformin, Fargixa and Victoza (injectable but NOT insulin). I have to admit i don't eat as well as I should, but these meds work for me. I did kind of give up for a while and wasn't taking them as i should but ended up in the ER again with almost 600 blood sugar and became compliant again.

 

[Bovinia]

Ouch Oly! I'd be compliant too after that! I know that Rosco has certainly had his share of scares too.

Evening,folks I fear hubs is getting sick now

 

[Wuzznt Me]

Good morning all and one.
Yep, that's how I feel, azz backwards.
Blood sugar messed with my sleep.
I have a morning full of VA visits.

I hope each of us spend a moment today remembering the many dear souls who left this earth, bound for a better place, 14 years ago.

May God bless us all.

I'll never forget. I was amazed at the courage and commitment a lot of Americans showed that day. Hope your visits turned out well.

Morning Folks

Did any of you eat cucumbers before getting sick? There has been a huge recall on hothouse cucumbers, a couple of people have died from food poisoning. Hope you all feel better!

Rosco, hoping you get control of your blood sugar. I know how hard a struggle it is for you!

9/11...never forget!

I eat organic cukes almost daily Bov. Nobody else here got sick from eating them though. It was the new meds the Dr. had me on. I didn't take the evening dose, slept like a log and split a cord of firewood today. Just a one day deal. Doc changed it for me so we'll see how this one does.

I don't like this one bit, Fran!

Visited my local vape shop today and treated myself to a bottle of pre-made juice. It's a vanilla coffee with a tiny touch of a tobacco finish...it's pretty good for a change of pace. It's always been hard for me to find (or create) a good coffee juice.

 

[FranC]

No,I'm really hoping he doesn't get the nasty sore throat I had. Hurt like all get out to cough. Really tried not to.

Have you tried extracting your own coffee flavor,Bov?

 

[Bovinia]

I have in the past Fran, but it came out terrible for me. Could be that I was using way too high % to flavor with tho.

 

[FranC]

That could very well be. Extracted coffee is very strong and bitter also without sweetener.

Darn, oly. Can't like that post. Sounds like you and my mom have alot in common. I just told someone else that is what it will take for her to try and keep her BS in check. Even then, I am not so sure.

Took her for blood work this morning and will be shocked if she does not end up on insulin this time.

 

[Rosco]

Busy day, but all went well.
Fran, sure hope he feels better soon. Being sick is not fun.

Good night you motley crew. [emoji57]
And don't forget to go potty before you get in bed. I'm tired of wet sheets. You heard me, now do it before I tell you know who.[emoji79]

 

[Bovinia]

Hahaha Rosco! Sweet dreams to you and Fran too

 

[FranC]
