Interlude

My last posting for a while as I am off to The Den tomorrow, where there is no Internet access, and the reported wireless coverage is poor.

I have been been slightly lax with my Metformin - missing the odd dose, but diligent with the Okra. Result is that my blood glucose is still dropping. OK so it is still higher than it should be, ranging from 12-16 throughout the day, but better than the 15-21 that it was just with Metformin.

As usual, I have over-prepared and over-packed for my sojourn in the Cotswolds. Maps, guides, boots, back packs, shoes, plenty of clothes, books, DVDs, CDs. And the previously mentioned hat. For some reason I am becoming very taken with said hat. It's a leather outback-style (think of a less formal Fedora, in leather not felt). I think it may become part of my standard walking attire.

Oh and also my jars of Kefir. I got a delivery of the "grains" some days back, and started drinking the cultured milk they produce about the same time as I started with the Okra. Kefir is a bit of an acquired taste, but now I am hooked, and the health benefits are numerous. Also seems to be quite versatile, not just a drink.
