Ok, so I should have checked the forecast before going out for a walk (it was bright but not sunny when I left), big squall and then rain when I was still about a mile from home ….

To treat it not to treat - that is the question? Went out for a fast 30 minute walk at 11.3 and now …. don’t feel low so is it an exercise fake and it will recover on its own? #DiabetesMystery

Yesterday’s trip was to the North of Tenerife and a great view of Tiede and then wine and tapas tasting (wonderful cheese and ham for me).

First world problem I know - new sensor was bleeder and now a low reader. Last one was the same but recovered after 36 hours - hopefully this one will be the same as it was good for the other 12 1/2 days. #GBDoc

When you put the oven on to make aubergine bake seems a waste not to make muffins - these are maple, pecan and sultana yoghurt muffins

Been feeling a bit rough all day - thought I should check for ketones. Meter gives an error reading - turns out leaving the meter in a cool place is a mistake; one cuddle later and meter working again (and negligible ketones).

Work Christmas lunch and decided sticky toffee pudding was beyond my carb counting ability so opted for cheese. A week’s worth of cheese arrived with three small biscuits; I’m now a bit light on carbs and very heavy on cholesterol!

No swimming tonight - jet lag takes its toll but after a very positive diabetes review with my GP (we discussed insulin and CGM options - he’s happy for me to choose when I’m ready) time to relax at the spa.

Last night in Shanghai so a stroll down Nanjing Lu to see the lights. Even found the ultimate hypo treat shop with an unusual Christmas tree at the front.

For a little light evening exercise I strolled round the Pearl Oriental Tower Square. Always fun people watching - selfies are the thing.

Christmas lights switch on at my hotel in China with party sized chocolate log and many sweet canapés to celebrate. Carb counting has been fun!
