Group 7-day waking average?

04/01/21 21:09 o_O I know exactly the same time as yesterday by sheer fluke & NOT planned! BS 6.5🙂

Yesterday, my yesterday, was one of those rare everything going to plan days as I’m back to normal after my boo boo: almost; sleeping pattern needs readjusting but, 1 thing at a time! :D🙄😉

I had my midday LR on time & it was JUST beginning to rise a bit at BS 7.5 from about an hour earlier at 11am ish of BS 6.7. I had my usual 60 units & delayed oral meds a little bit until 14:00 after my tesco shopping had arrived & ate dinner, metaformin dose not agree with me on an empty stomach so, might as well take the whole lot together. Then, exhausted I went to bed after eating! So, I’m very pleased by my waking figure! 🙂

Was playing golf in bed & now peckish so, will have breakfast of eggs sunny side up, I’ve REALLY learned to do these rather well now with practice & patience, with tesco finest applewood smoked ham with tea, milk & honey: back to tea after all the latte’s; DO NOT want to add the extra caffeine of coffee into the out of sync sleeping pattern problem! 😛 Tesco have been out of smoked salmon since last week & tried the eggs on the ham instead & it works just as nicely!😛:D

I wish you all a Very Good Morning coming up for you NORMAL lot, as opposed to ABNORMAL me, & have a Wonderful Day! :D😉

@SB2015 , @Bexlee, @Bloden, thank you. Today was a virtual training day so back properly tomorrow. I have really mixed feelings. The kids need to be back, they can't keep missing school, they'll never catch up else and they need it for their mental health and to keep an eye on vulnerable children. However, with the younger ones its nigh on impossible to social distance and that frightens me. All in all, getting very anxious though i don't want to be stuck at home like last time. Ah i don't know what the answer is.
@eggyg, be careful!!! We don't want you back in hospital.
@Kaylz, know that we are here when you need to rant x

Well Boris has again changed all that. I just wish they would be more decisive earlier. It is almost as if he wants a cou0ke of days of separation from whatever the rest of the UK do just to show he is different !!! BUT. They need to think of the impact on you and the children. A friend who is a head returned to a nice message from OFSTED whilst also dealing with all of this.

Take care. I will be thinking of you and all your colleagues as I know just hhow w hard you have all had to work through this managing both in school and online. Take care.
 
Morning 8.6 which I’m not thrilled about. Been having 100g carbs or under, most days well under and still bgs in the 8s. Oh well keep going.
Was told at work yesterday that everyone at the surgery should get the vaccine fairly soon, we have both coming in on Thursday, I shall have my sleeve rolled up ready.
@KARNAK its all so sad, I’m sorry.
@Bexlee never doubt that everyone is behind you and by now all parents realise what an important and difficult job you do. My daughter and DIL are dreading trying to get the kids to do work at home again.
Have a good day all and stay safe x
 
Another 5.4 here. We managed an online quiz with our pals last night. My wife set the questions, which by common consent were a bit too hard and scores were low.
 
Morning all,
A 6.1 this morning and a pre-lockdown shop required...
Who would have thought we would have been using the word 'lockdown' so much in the space of a year!
It makes me think of the Hymn 'Amazing Grace' there is a modern version that goes 'my chains are gone, I've been set free'
One day... one day...!
Blessings Snowwy

I am sure she got them all right! 😛
 
4.2 this morning. I'm never happy, but still feel that is too low given I am eating well, took a snack to work but still 3.8 when I got home.
 
5.7 this morning. At last!
 
Morning all. 6.9 for me.
Thank you @SB2015 , i find things hard and i'm only a Teaching Assistant. The teachers work so incredibly hard and have been brilliant through all this so well done @Bexlee and @Bexlee's sister!! Oh my, your poor friend though @SB2015 going in to OFSTED, i thought they weren't going into schools atm.
Anyway, we've been called in this morning so will see what is said.
Have a good day everyone whatever you plan to do. Stay safe
 
4.9 this morning. The lowest its been for a month. So BG doing ok.

My problem this morning was getting any blood from any finger! My hands were warm, but no blood. In the end I had to up the lancet setting to 5 (usually its 3). Stung a bit.

Anyone got any advice on how to get blood more easily?
 
4.7 for me today. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

Dez
 
4.0 for me... nearly blotted my copy book! It was 4.4 when the alarm went off but I was tired this morning and decided to doze a bit longer but really should have had a Hypo Hero to keep me out of the red. Of course swinging my legs out of bed and touching the floor almost miraculously changes my reading to 4.3 and I can safely inject insulin and have time to get breakfast sorted.

@Anitram. Congrats on your HS yesterday.... Start the year as you mean to go on is what I say!
 
Morning all, 8 1 here!! Last nights pizza must be to blame. I bolused my usual and increased my basal when I was a bit high at bedtime, which normally works, but I had an unusual flat line overnight, despite the increase. Does the DF get locked down? Hope she’s not now confined to this area for the duration!
 
Morning, is it bed time yet? So wish I didn't have to get up so early! Very cold again this morning so would love nothing more than to still be wrapped up under my quilt lol

8.0 for me, no earthly, upped Tresiba again last night just hoping I don't end up with daily lows again cause then I really don't know what to do! If needs must then it will just be a higher dose of Tresiba and then ratios changed, would be so much easier to do if I had the time to concentrate on it but what does my health matter as long as everyone else gets what they want?

Morning all. A very nice 5.4. So lockdown 3 from tomorrow, quelle surprise...NOT! In effect it’s just Tier 4 but schools, colleges and unis closed. I’ve to shield again but we’d already decided that at the weekend, still can go for local walks though, thank goodness. Our youngest granddaughter IS starting pre school today as planned, as my daughter and her husband are key workers. It’s a tiny village school and there’s only going to be 4 or 5 pupils in and they’ll bubble together, which is nice as she’ll be with her big sister. It was touch and go as the school weren’t sure if pre schoolers counted but they came back and said it was fine. We would have had a very disappointed little girl if she couldn’t go, she is so excited and had her uniform, school shoes and new bag all ready. She only turned three last week, bless her. 🙂
Stay safe everyone. 🙂
