Group 7-day waking average?

@freesia I see some every year mentioning that they have higher levels for a while after the flu jab and others it seems to have no effect on so I wouldn't say its abnormal xx
 
Thank you - I am well pleased after making adjustments - judiciously Tomorrow I have an appointment to be prescribed new glasses - I am hoping that within 2 weeks I will be allowed to drive again.
That's great news Michael, I have everything crossed for you xx
 
08:28 BS 5.5 🙂

No time to hang about this morning as I’m off to the health centre for bloodtests: got a phone call yesterday for appointment at 15:00 but, I had to wait for tesco shopping posted wrong time testerday & was actually 14:00 to 15:00; so, appointment changed to this morning at 10:00! Will have breakfast & go! Got a letter from hospital the last couple of days ago, can’t remember which day now, for a 24 hour heart monitor to be handed to me with intrustions on how to fit it, wear it for 24 hours & hand it back the next day on 10/11/20. Had one fitted before in 2016 with a clock on it to write down times when I did such & such in a monitor diary so my heart rates & rhythms can be compared to what I was doing! At least this time it’s the Causeway Hospital rather than 2 return trips to the County Antrim hospital albeit I have to fit it myself: extra CV precautions!

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

A rush to cook & eat breakfast before I’m out of the door!🙄
 
A 6.0 for me at 06:01 this morning. I can't believe how the mornings are drawing in. It was nearly dark when we set off on the school run this morning. Should be a bit lighter after half term when the clocks have moved.

That’s really good news Michael, well done and I hope your new glasses do the trick in getting you back driving again. take good care x
 
Morning everyone. 7.9 for me.

Has anyone had erratic levels since their flu jab? I had mine last Thursday and since then they've been behaving very oddly, on weekdays anyway
Yes I had a few really odd days afterwards when I was high and insulin wasn't doing anything to bring it down and then suddenly it would plummet after I had eaten and I had a double dip which I hardly ever experience. It was all very odd and I did wonder if it might be connected. I had flu and pneumonia both in the same are as my Libre. Didn't have any significant problems with swelling or stiffness, but certainly erratic BG levels the next few days.
 
7.2 for me this morning. Clearly didn't have enough celebratory booze last night!!
Started on Fiasp to replace Novorapid so will see how I get on with it this time. I think having Libre will probably enable me to use it more effectively and see the benefit of it this time and of course I am more experienced at managing my levels which will help too.
My namesake has not arrived here yet and it is very mild but overcast. I was doing yard duties in a vest top last night it was so warm. Just happy it is not raining as was forecast. Surprisingly my tomatoes are still trying to ripen in the poly tunnel. Just wondering if I can dump a load of fresh horse manure in there and create a hot house with the heat of it's decomposition.
 
Morning all. 6.8 for me. Up at the crack again. Busy day ahead and an early start, an extra babysitting day coupled with our middle granddaughter’s 8th birthday. So we are babysitting at baby’s home today, it makes sense as we will just be trundling up there later when the birthday girl is home from school. Absolutely pouring down here so will pack our wellies as we have a 10 minute walk from the car to get to their house, our low down sports car can’t manoeuvre down farm lanes! Have a great day.🙂
 
For reasons unknown to me my upward trajectory continues, as it’s a 5.6 this morning.
 
Morning all,
Snap @Northerner 6.2 for me too.
Unable to confirm whether I was a flatfish or not though, don't have the technological gubbins!

Morning

Was watching Loose Women yesterday, a viewer got in contact with the show requesting Stacey (working from home panellist yesterday) blow her candle out as it was too close to the sofa for their liking, whatever next!

Anyways it’s a 5.3 for me this morning

Enjoy your day folks

xx
 
Good morning. A very shocking 10.4 for me. I need to start looking at ratios again i think.
@Northerner thats a lovely looking flat line
 
Haven't had one of these for a while - a nice 5.2 this morning. 🙂:D
Stay safe and well.
Dez
 
Good morning 🙂 Have you ever seen a flatter overnight flatfish? 😱 :DView attachment 15441
Looks like you took a steamroller to it!🙂

Moooorning!:D 7.3 here...too many JBs at 4am, oops.

The Mini Metro is 40 today! My gran had one. It was like driving a rattly old shopping trolley with a wonky wheel - when it was new!. 😳😱
