Group 7-day waking average?

5.2 Bullseye yay
 
07:01 BS 6.4 🙂 Very consistent!

Yesterday was the best day yet breathing wise & just a sight bit short of breath moving around the kitchen! Started easing back a bit on the inhalers as they’re lasting longer now: 4 puffs of each twice a day instead of 4 times a day; normal maintenance dose is 2 puffs of the preventer twice a day but, usually forget the 2nd dose! Can’t forget now, this week, as I start to wheeze as the effect of the current dose starts to wear off! 😳🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
Morning all it’s an 8.8 which is the best I’ve managed for a few days. My diabetes has been taken over by a whirling dervish and it’s been a struggle to get it back into single figures. Where’s is the DF by the way? 😉

Big decision of the day do I turn right or left out of my house on my walk?

Have the best day you can 🙂
 
@Maca44 congrats on the HS.
@Lanny glad you are feeling a touch better.
@ColinUK hope you’re ok.
7.6 today, going in the wrong direction again.
Have a good day all x
 
Morning all, 4.3 here, despite reducing basal, spent half the night with a red trace on the Libre. I’m not worried, a fingerprick shows me well into the 4s, but it ruins my 'Time in Target' percentage!
 
Morning all. Yesterday was a day spent in the 4's no matter what i did. Had a biscuit before bed and woke up this morning to 10.2!! Dropped to 9.6 now 🙄
@Maca44 congratulations on the HS
@ColinUK your pie and cheesecake look delicious
@Lanny glad you're feeling a bit better
Another day of working at home for me, i think the mix of going into work and working from home is playing havoc with my levels and i'm struggling to get the balance right. I can't wait for things to get back to "normal".
Have a good day folks, whatever you are doing
 
Morning

Yet another email from Superdrug apologising for the delay and saying it should be here no later than tomorrow although this time they say they have added £3 worth of points to my health & beauty card as a sorry for the delay

Bubbles's plug in is due to be changed on the 31st, I ordered 2 on the 10th and it took the company 3 days to get in touch to tell me they were OOS but due the end of this week so just hoping they will arrive in time as I thought I had plenty of time so went for 2nd class 🙄

Anyway's its 8.6 for me on this exceptionally cold Scottish morning
xx
 
Good morning all.... and it is a good morning - 10.6 this morning (lowest so far), very happy with that :D

Have a great day 🙂
 
I ordered fresh supplies of suet balls from Amazon for our feathered friends. On Saturday, the delivery driver managed to slip under the radar, ring the doorbell without me hearing it and deposit a humungous big box on the doorstep. 😡When I eventually got notified by my Alexa that the delivery had taken place, I was slightly concerned about the size of the box.
I was even more concerned to see the box inside said "Pain + Liberation" on the side. 😱Was this some sort of S&M apparatus?
Yes, in my time I've wrongly been sent a rather fetching but skimpy negligee and an XXXXL pair of winceyette bloomers that would've looked big on Nellie The Elephant.o_O
Thankfully, it turned out to be one of those memory foam, wedge shaped, orthopaedic support pillow thingies.
Curiously enough, I was considering getting one of those. Had Amazon developed some ESP mind probe app for Alexa, I wondered?
"I could have a look and see if it was suitable", thought I. I had one problem, it was vacuum sealed and like the Genie in a Bottle, once let loose, I'd never get it back inside the packaging. I confess that for one nanosecond I did think, "Keep schtoom about it, Dez and say nothing - they'll never know."
But as "Honesty is the best policy" has always been my policy, I decided to get in touch with Amazon.
Getting past their AI Customer Support Chat Bot is a Catch22 nightmare, but I persisted, and eventually made contact with a human being. 🙄
I was very pleasantly surprised to be told, "You don't have to return it. You may use it, donate it or recycle it as you wish." And, that there was a replacement delivery of birdy suet balls winging their way to me, at no extra charge.
(I wonder what'll be delivered this time?)
Not being a person to look a gift orthopaedic support pillow in the mouth, I liberated it from its packaging and its currently supporting my tired old back, in bed, while I write. 🙂
It does the job well!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And a 5.7 on the meter today.

The thing that really annoys me about kale is the way they sell it ready chopped. Kale has a centre stem which is easy to cut out of a whole leaf and then chop. but no, they have to sell it chopped with the stem still in it so I have to sort through all the bits to remove the thick stems.... right fiddly job... irritates me every time!

I'm with you on that @rebrascora. But apart from the above inconvenience it's delicious.

And congratulations to all today's House Specials.

Haha good god no! He certainly doesn't need that! But he's temperamental as it is and is even worse if there isn't a pheromone plug in on the go :( xx
