Group 7-day waking average?

[SueEK]

Morning all, no reading for me today, tried but no blood, weather has definitely changed as chilly and bucketing with rain. Am off now for 11 days, hurrah, going to Sainsbury’s, out for breakfast with my son and then taking doggy down the van for a week or so, depending on the weather.
@HenryBennett congrats on the HS
Have a good one all x

A 6.9 for moi. Oh la la! 😉 Very cold and damp this morning and the weather isn’t looking so good either! Off for haircuts this morning, for both of us, and a ‘tash waxing, that’s just me! Probably have a bit of lunch, must remember to wear mask at all times in the cafe, except when eating of course. Does it start today or at midnight today? It’s all so confusing so will just wear it at all times whilst indoors. Not sure how I will get my ‘tash waxed though! Have a good day everyone.
Congrats @HenryBennett on the HS and the new car! Don’t know which is the most exciting.🙂

Morning all and 6.6 for me.

Got text yesterday re flu jab so better get that booked.

Received letter yesterday saying medical investigation had been completed and I'm good to drive for another 3 years. Licence to follow. I actually got the licence on Monday.
Pretty good as I only applied online last Thursday.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning all, 4.7 here, started a new Libre sensor, which seems to be behaving itself from the outset. Six of us are supposed to be doing our exercise class in someone's garden today, but I fear the grass may be too wet after all yesterday’s rain.

So t-shirt that Bruce got me is washed, quote is so right for me just now LOL xx

I think Bruce muddled you up with Bubbles! 😉😛

Morning all. 6.2 here.

Had a phone call from the surgery yesterday - could I plz phone my GP in a month and tell her how much I weigh...strange but true.🙂

You could be right there! lol xx

 

[Kaylz]

Meant to add a few bits to my post but head was still a bit fuzzy so I'll just ramble on here lol

T-shirt fits fine, even a bit loose to what I generally wear so ordering a medium has been a waste of time as I said it would be

Also spoke to Bruce on the phone yesterday, we've decided when I do eventually move in we'll need a fridge freezer so I spent a while yesterday looking at them online, you get some quite nice ones don't you? lol

10.2 this morning. And the beginnings of a cold.

That’s ‘cos you’re back at work! You must have got it from yourself! 😉

10.2 this morning. And the beginnings of a cold.

And my exercise has plummeted now I’m working everyday. I used to go on really long walks (sometimes 15-20 miles or so) but now I’m at my desk until 8pm so I’m not able to.
Time to get the gym membership going again and get back to weatherproof exercise methinks.
Got a tonne of Exante products coming tomorrow (and only just discovered that they offer a permanent 40% discount for diabetics) so that’ll stop the weight ticking up again.

I’ve checked with my Covid Track and Trace app and it says I’ve been in close proximity to my cat so blame him

Morning all, 8.4 for me today and from today I'll be having to wear a mask all day at work.

Congratulations n your HS @HenryBennett 🙂 I didn’t know for ages why 5.2 until @KookyCat posted & said she came up with that as it wasn’t too low or high & gave her “room for a nice breakfast spike afterwards“! She was a regular poster in the early days of this thread but, doesn’t post as often now. Having read a few of her posts, she sounds like quite a character!😎

I hope you get over your cold soon @ColinUK Go give that snotty so & so of a cold a good fight & kick its ass! Two fists up emoji!😉

08:25 BS 12.0!😱 I have absolutely no idea why? Very confused emoji! It was 13.0 on first waking, got up & washed my hands to retest but, it’s not much better! It was 6.0 at midnight when Levemir went in!😱🙄 BUT, I was aware of my heart rate being very high while I slept, not enough to wake me, & wonder if I’m coming down with something too? Either that or for some reason went low in the night but, didn’t wake with the tell tale hangover headache! That emoji just isn’t adequate for representing the confusion I feel! This one is slightly better but, a wee bit extreme!🙄

Anyways, with an unexplained reading like that, all I can say is “POOH”!

I got all of my BIG shop yesterday apart from the new chicken satay wrap & have some loo paper, thank goodness as was down to 2 rolls! My fridge & freezer are nicely stuffed & I‘ll just need a wee shop next week for the fresh stuff like milk, mushrooms, eggs & bread!🙂 It’s always a bit dicey wether I get sandwiches, wraps or sushi delivered as they sell out that fast & I usually wait to eat lunch on shopping days so, like a quick sandwich, slightly easier to get, or I love sushi, very hard to get & can’t remember the last time I managed to get any!🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

I need a correction added to my breakfast bolus now before I eat!🙄

I was awake early this morning. Maybe the excitement of collecting my new (to me) car this morning. I ought to be too old for that sort of malarkey. I’ll blame the mundanity of lockdown and dieting.

Anyway it’s a 5.2 this morning.

I’m new to this thread, can someone in the secret society tell me why, please, that’s the house special. Just as long as you don’t have to kill me first

Congratulations on the House Special! It was decided a few years ago that a waking number of 5.2 was pretty much perfect, as it not only suggested good numbers through the night, it is a reflection of good overall control and, for those on insulin it is comfortably above a hypo level (hypo is below 4.0) 🙂

Snap @HenryBennett. A HS for me too. First for ages.

A ‘normal’ day for me.
Have a good break @SueEK

Did a bit of detective work. It was starting to be mentioned nearly 6 years ago. 😱

Just checked again and it’s a much more respectable 6.8 - for reasons best known unto itself ‍♂️

 

[pm133]

Was 6.1 last night and took 2 units to try and bring it down.
9.8 this morning. This is not as easy as I thought it would be.
