Peter's Vale Boa House In The Sun
I received a notification on my phone that i would rather have not seen.In Portugal the Powers to be send messages warning of fires. After all it's still only February and we have had lots of rain so the fire season should be a long way off.
I am glad we get warning but now in February i hope it's not a sign of things to come later in the year.
Today 23rd February i walked round my estate looking at the trees i planted last year. Lots of little buds coming out but on one tree i saw little flowers.
It's a fruit tree and i don't know what type but what a result so early in the year little flowers on a fruit tree.
My favourite tree is my Lime tree and waiting to see if i get a crop like last year.
Mid December i found out i was Diabetic not something to like happening to someone but it had to be my luck.
The Doctor wanted me to go to the hospital in Coimbra and to start taking Insulin. I asked if i could wait and see if i could bring my Glucose level down by myself so i went how and started to find out what i had to do.
First to go was jelly, every night for desert i would have a bowl of jelly after my evening meal not any more.
Ice cream was next to stop it was full of sugar so the ice cream was gone.
Dizzy drinks i could drink 4 litres a day after all it had been a very hot summer and autumn.
Potatoes, Rice and spaghetti all gone. A typical meal of grilled Turkey would be five vegetables and that was every meal. There is a downside of eating so much veg and it's not pleasent.
I cut my Glucose level down from 364 very high down to 214 went the Doctor saw the latest blood results he had a big smile on his face. Then i was asked to go back again but not till July.
Now it's all down to me to get my Glucose levels down to a normal level.
