Group 7-day waking average?

7.2 today, still very dark and feel like I shouldn’t be up yet. Will get my act together and head out, I wonder what delights await me today?
Have a good one all. X
 
6.5 this morning, so it’s back on the wagon today. Have a great week.
 
Morning

Well the salvation army church started back yesterday, alternating weeks for people, think my grandad went yesterday, he was down here at the back of 8 yesterday demanding we open the text on his phone for him then back with the same demand 12 hours later 😡 he’s been shown numerous times how to do it and told he needn’t bother coming down here whenever he feels like it as he shouldn’t be but he just won’t listen and its so frustrating, just wish I could get a break! :(

Anyways its a 6.0 for me today

Last weeks stats are
Waking Average – 5.7
Total Insulin – 219.5U
Bolus Total – 72.5U
Basal Total – 147U

Morning all,4.3 here, and I hope the pesky fairy has now been locked down somewhere. Have been firefighting levels in the teens during the day over the weekend, and crashing at night. Maybe I shouldn’t blame the DF, it could be a flu jab reaction, I suppose.
 
06:54 BS 6.3 🙂 I got there at last & highest BS yesterday was 9.5 so, I stick with that unless, of course I show signs of going low; reduce if so!🙄 Still woke up with a bit of dry throat but, eased upon getting up & I’m pretty sure it’s the heating that’s causing it!

I quite excited in that I’ve just ordered a new iPhone on the online Applestore to replace my no longer supported iPhone 6, still stuck on ios 12, & my new iPhone SE 2nd Generation is being delivered tomorrow: wouldn’t surprise me if it’s the day alter though; getting across the water to NI!:D I ordered a red one as there’s no gold option & went for SE because it’s the same 4.7 inch screen size: all the others are too big for my small size 5 hands; even the 4.7 inch is a bit uncomfortably big reading kindle books one handed to turn the pages as I can’t do it right handed, oddly since I’m right handed, & only with the left as I can JUST about swipe the righthand side of the screen with my left thumb!🙄 Other people MUST have much bigger hands than me to carry such big phones around!:D😉 I’m trading in my old phone for up to £40, depending on the condition, & will send that in after getting the new one, Apple will check it & decide how much to give me back? Excited & a bit bouncy emoji!:D🙄:D😛😎😉

The stormy weather seems to have passed now but, still almost froze my toesis off going to the bathroom this morning! Brr! Shivering emoji!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉 Stay warm & Sunny on the Inside!😛
 
Morning all and 5.1 for me. Much glucose consumed overnight. Hardly ate anything yesterday. Dialling the basal back a bit.

Looking very bright down here in Surrey a walk up to the village beckons.

Have a good day everyone.
 
5.5 this morning. 🙂

Well I got 2 deliveries of manure done this afternoon, the first with the Freelander and trailer to a guy in the next village and the second (10 barrow loads) to a couple in the village using my wheelbarrow as access is tight with car and trailer. On the return from 9th load I was feeling a bit wobbly and went to scan sensor only to be told that Glucose reading was not available as sensor was too cold!!! Admittedly I was wearing a T-shirt so it was exposed and the sun was going down but I was using my arms to load and barrow the manure. Seems like my sensor is a bit of a wuss. Put my fleece on and 10 mins later I got my reading (3.8) and had some jelly babies to bring me up. Anyone else had a sensor that couldn't cope with the cold. I know I have problems with my BG meter in winter and have to put it down my bra for a few minutes before I can test when I am working outdoors or at the stables but assumed the sensor being stuck to my arm would be warm enough.
Nothing like your experience, I like your warm up the sensor strategy! I’ve had several strange issues with my sensors and all since updating the app. For example this morning the log reading and screen picture are out of sync- reading today 9.4 yet the home view showed halfway up the green zone ie about 8.00. It has happened with 3 different sensors.
 
Morning. 5.9. Had some terrible news last night. My 81 year old auntie has contracted Covid-19 and is now receiving end of life care. Her daughter , my cousin and her husband have it too. My cousin, who is only 56 and with no pre existing conditions is really ill. Her hubby has it mildly. Her brother lives in Italy and can’t come over because of isolation rules. I’m devasted for them all and sad for myself as she’s my closest relative after my own children. :(

@eggyg So very sorry to read this. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and good wishes x
 
@eggyg, really sorry to hear about your auntie. My thoughts are with you and your family. Its a horrible time.

Good morning everyone on this chilly autumnal morning. Its a 4.8 for me this morning. I've just had a few sips of juice to get levels up before breakfast as i know if i inject and eat when its that low i'll hypo in a bit.
My jobs for the half term week are very boring, cleaning, washing, shopping, storing summer clothes and getting out winter woolies. Bit boring but quiet and restful after the last 8 weeks.
Whatever you are all doing, make it a good day.
 
Morning all
6.1 for me today.

@eggyg sorry for your news, you feel so helpless!

Blessings Snowwy

Very very sad news. Stay strong.
 
Morning all. @eggyg sorry to hear your news.

Feeling positive this morning and think I might be getting somewhere. A 5.8 for me this morning and then I jumped on the scales and had a weight starting with 16 stone for the first time in who knows how many years 16st 12.6lbs! If I can hit 16 stone 9lbs I'll stop being obese and merely be overweight 🙂 Long long way to go to stop being overweight...
