Had a really good day today as far as drupal development goes. While working on another site, completely scraping the files system I had been using to replace it with something much simpler and more elegant, I discovered the secret to making my own blog available via RSS feed. Great discovery, and I've put it to use already.

The file system I came up with works quite well and looks great too. I'll be using it in future projects, for sure.

I had an appt with my GP today to get my metformin (the diabetes tablet that I'm on) re-prescribed. I only just started this medication on 30th Sept, with a no repeat prescription so we could evaluate how well it's going. I took in my 30 days glucose stats and after going through them and discounting recent highs due to taking prednisolone, the results look quite good. So I now have a 5 repeat prescription.

We talked about how to keep me infection free in preparation for the surgery, and so I'll continue taking the same antibiotic I've been taking the last couple of weeks. I meant to ask about taking iron tablets but forgot. As I can get these from the chemist w/o a prescription,, I'll go ahead and do that. It certainly won't cause any harm and may well help me to fight off (or avoid all together) any bugs going around.

Tomorrow is World Diabetes Day. I hope to write something meaningful about Diabetes in tomorrow's blog, and maybe even turn my website blue for the day.

Dozing as I type again. This is ridiculous. Yawn.....................

MMm... I just remembered we have low carb / sugar free ice cream in the fridge. That'll wake me up!!

Cheers!
