Type 2 diabetes is a chronic metabolic condition characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells fail to respond properly to insulin, and a gradual decline in insulin production by the pancreas.

Hey, guess who's actually poorly?

Yesterday was a bad day with the stupid mucus thing. A real curveball after starting to believe I was seeing a slight improvement.

And wow, it hit hard. It was there throughout the night to a lesser degree, too.

But I've realised it's more than that. Looks like I might have picked something up at the family night on Saturday. Probs just a cold or something, but it's obviously seriously aggravating the mucus problem.

Still got myself outside into the beautiful morning light for breakfast, though.

That's a non negotiable unless the weather is ever too bad to get out here.

So this is all today is getting out of me. P.J. bottoms, big fleece and into my fluffy slippers when I get back inside!

But I choose to celebrate every and all wins. I've got a lot going on with every aspect of my health at the moment.

Physically, mentally and emotionally.

So it's good that my blood sugar is behaving itself quite well MOST of the time.

Type one diabetes......I have IT. It does NOT have me!

Perfect blood sugar line for the last several hours!

After a few days of extremely low levels for most of the time (day AND night), and one crazy high this morning, this lovely line is a real boost 😁.

Right on target.

The thick red line shows when my pump suspends my background insulin. It's automatic, based on what my sensor is telling it on a constant basis, every few minutes.

This HBD programme is definitely showing an encouraging result on that blood sugar/insulin sensitivity thing.

Positive feedback is always a bonus.

It's a pretty yucky day, which matches me right now, lol.

Just doing the best I can until I'm back into the motivation mojo.

Tired in mind, body and spirit, but absolutely sure of the fact of it being a temporary glitch.

Not so good. But I'll get better as soon as my blood sugars start behaving. Willing the pod/CGM loop to finally catch up to how my body works, so I can feel normal again.

Before this, I was in range 75-80% of the time on average. This ain't good.

But....still trying to hold my patience.

After a short two miles in the rain this morning, I'm now 65 miles into my 100 mile charity challenge goal so far.

I also did a half hour resistance band training session with one of my online clients.

I've stuck with a half decent fast time and good food as always, and I'm just giving myself self care for the rest of today.

Heading back over to the homestead to see family. Most importantly, my three boys.

Treated myself to a cappuccino for the journey.
