Group 7-day waking average?

Evening all. 7.3 @ 7.39am then I went back to bed till 1. Only got up to see to Mum otherwise I would not have bothered. Under the lino isn't in it. Can't even be bothered to click likes so apologies. Normal service will be resumed after the pity party.
 
5.8 this morning. A little higher than I’d like but it’s probably the garlic bread I had with my halloumi salad last night followed by some yogurt ice cream.
 
Morning all,
A 6.0 this morning which is good after a rare but lovely lasagne and salad yesterday.
In other news, our local vaccine centre started yesterday, just need to wait for the nod!

Blessings Snowwy
 
05:09 BS 9.4 😳 Slept past my midnight LR: heard the alarm; didn’t respond fast enough of dozed off again. In as soon as up, toilet break, & tried going back to sleep but, couldn’t so, now there’s a bit of DP & the late LR couldn’t compete with that, yet!🙄 06:23 BS 10.6 so, going to have NR & breakfast. Had a long quite comfortable sleep last night from about 19:00 because breathing was the easiest yet, complete contrast to the “Sleep Is A Battlefield” of the previous night, & I felt the difference straight off going to the loo: still short of breath but, not wheezy; moved a bit more yesterday than the day before & hopefully move a bit more today too?🙄🙂 Still have to stay mostly in bed, though & I’ll watch last night’s episode of DIP I couldn’t stay up for after breakfast!

I see I missed all the craic & banter last night: everybody learnt something new; made me roar with laughter this morning too & it’s a nice start to the day! :D😎😉

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

PS:- hopefully this morning I won’t burn the eggs like I did yesterday morning & had to cook another batch: burnt eggs smell AWFUL; subborn to get rid off even with the extractor fan on at full blast? 😳🙄😱
 
4.1 again sleep not great but did sleep, well that's what my smartwatch told me, I am begging to think it's lying to me so will ask it later.
 
Morning all. 5.7 on this frosty Friday morning. We had rain, sleet and snow yesterday so I’m sure it’ll be very icy out there again. Here’s a tale for you which should make you laugh, well I think it’s funny! Managed a wee walk yesterday on my own, Mr Eggy decorating the dining room, and I nearly had an another incident! Decided to walk down the river on the way to the farm for milk, it had burst its banks, very exciting, luckily had my wellies on. Waded through the fields until I came to a little bridge I needed to cross to get to the big bridge to get me to the farm. The river was flowing over it but in my wisdom I thought it would be ok, it wasn’t! Nearly got washed away! At one point I was stuck and couldn’t get off the bridge to turn back, I couldn’t call for help as my phone was dead as I’d been taking videos of the roaring river! All this with a giant brolly in one hand and a carrier bag with an empty milk bottle in the other! Eventually got off the bridge and made my way back the way I came and went to farm by the road. There was a queue a mile long at the milk machine and I stood for 25 minutes. When I got home, Mr Eggy was just about to send a rescue party out, he had tried ringing and texting but to no avail. Oh I was in trouble he thought I’d had a hypo and was laying unconscious somewhere. Ooops! I waited a while before I told him I’ll nearly got washed downriver! I’m not allowed out on my own now as apparently I’m a liability! Ah well, it’s better then being boring I suppose! Don’t try this at home folks, it’s not big and it’s not clever! 😉 And here’s me thinking he was so engrossed in the decorating he wouldn’t even notice I wasn’t home! Quiet day today. Stay safe everyone and TGIF.🙂
 
Morning

8.9 this morning, you may think, ohh pretty bad but considering I had to have 2 lots of lifts yesterday and then almost 50g unbolused for carbs at bedtime I'm not overly unhappy, no idea what is going on now but so fed up of D along with everything else :(

MIL dropped the hoover off at Bruce's yesterday so will get that over the weekend, no wholemeal at the shop yesterday so having to try 50/50 😱 keep your fingers crossed for me please!

Bruce will probably need a day off either next week or the following week as that's when the gas man reckons the new boiler will be getting installed
xx
 
Morning all, 6.9 today which I’m happy with, first time in the 6s this year. Had a streamed funeral yesterday, one of my husbands friends from the Army, he was such a lovely guy, so good to be able to feel part of it.
@eggyg sounds like you were sailing a bit too close to the wind yesterday, glad you are ok.
@Kaylz glad you will get your new hoover soon. 50/50 is not bad actually, hope you like it. Take care x
@Ditto hope you are feeling better soon x
Have a good day all, nothing happening here x
 
9.0 for me this morning... no idea why.

Woke up at 6.45am feeling hot and sweaty with heart racing. Reached for scanner as I assumed I must be hypo again. (I didn't reduce my basal last night and left it at 5units which hypoed me yesterday morning). Libre said 5.9 with a downward sloping arrow. I knew that was wrong so got my BG meter out and tested 9.8! That can't be right and then I remembered that I refilled by Hypo Hero pot at bedtime so perhaps I had JB dust on my fingers still. Gave it a good suck (steady Ted! 😉) and tested again 9.1. Tried a finger on the other hand which didn't touch the JBs 9.0.... so Libre was lying. (@Maca44 we are both having problems with technology telling porkies this morning) Realising it had been caught out in it's lie, it refused to give me another reading until it got it's act together and then it came up with an 8.7 15 mins later by which time I had jabbed myself 6 units of Fiasp.... To be fair, it is on it's last day and it has been a bit uncomfortable recently and the adhesive is starting to lift around the edges so the filament has maybe just slightly been dislodged. It is reading correctly now though. I went to sleep lying on my other side and woke up in exactly the same position so it's not like it was a compression low or anything.... still surprised I wasn't hypo but I did wake up having a stressful dream so I guess that was why I had the adrenaline rush symptoms of a hypo.

I had very contrary levels yesterday being either in the 3s or double figures with not much time in between so I wonder if the Libre was not giving me accurate info to make decisions about my insulin dosing. I am normally really confident of the readings it gives me but may have to do a bit more double checking to recover that confidence with the next sensor.



Anyway, that
 
4.6 this morning. 🙂
Back to minus temperatures again. :-(

5.0 this morning at 6am. Gotta go out in the freezing cold to get some fruit in a few minutes. I hope the pavement is not frozen. Getting up or down the crescent (hill) is deadly when it freezes over.

Thanks, its not that I don't like it, I used to eat it before D but its higher carb than wholemeal and seen as it's 50/50 will hit the system differently so have no idea how to go about injecting for it without receiving a horrific spike like worse than what I'm already having in the afternoon xx

Morning all, 5.3 at ten past seven, went straight back to sleep and was in the middle of a dream (featuring The Simpsons, bizarrely) when the alarm went off at half past, and I’m now 6.2!

The Simpsons are know to raise BG's so advice out there needs updating, reduce carb's & Simpsons watching it's called the Bart syndrome, look it up it's true.
