Group 7-day waking average?

Will you please stop mentioning more possible brands of chocolate that I might just be tempted to try. 😛
You've already got me hooked on that Godiva stuff. :D

TCO's are far higher carb though, above 15g per 4 segments xx
 
3.9 this morning up early for 6am Iceland frozen berries delivery and a few other bits.
 
5.5 this morning at 5am. Very pleased with this considering it has taken me a whole month to come down from the 3Cs -Christmas and Covid Comfort eating. Now back to focusing on weight loss and exercise routine.

Btw, love this, "When I die I want to go like my Grandad, peacefully in his sleep, not screaming like the people in the back seat of his car." it did make me chuckle, even lol! Thank you @Maca44. "A merry heart does good like a medicine but a broken spirit dries up the bones."
 
Morning all,
6.2, eyes a blue, rooty tooty tooty too!

Blessings Snowwy
 
4.8 this morning for me. 🙂
All the snow and ice has gone!

5.5 this morning. Very happy.
 
4.9 for me this morning but it took 2 "Hypo Heros" an hour earlier to get me there. This sensor has been a bad one for showing me lower than I am and has ruined my TIR stats. Tempted to ring Abbott, just to make them aware in case they changed the calibration or algorithm slightly. It only has 2 days to go, so really hoping the next one is back to the more consistent results I have been used to from my sensors. This sensor has been slightly uncomfortable at times so maybe it has been something to do with the filament insertion. Don't need/want a replacement, just to give Abbott the feedback on it reading significantly lower at low levels. The problem is that when it "cries wolf" once too often you can be tempted to ignore it. 😱

I got back to my exercise yesterday which is the likely cause of my night time low but I reduced my evening Levemir by 50% to 2.5 units.... Will be back to zero tonight assuming I get my exercise today. Considering I am already pretty active looking after 4 horses and other animals, structured exercise does seem to have a disproportionately radical effect on my levels overnight and it is not like I run myself into the ground. Last night it was just about 4 miles, 2 of them were yomping up a steep hill and the other 2 running back down.

@Anitram Hard lines Martin on missing out on the hat trick but congrats to @Bloden and @HenryBennett on ensuring a more even distribution of HSs yesterday. Let's hope one finds it's way across to Spain as I can tell @Michael12421 is getting decidedly impatient about not getting his fair share or even just a sniff of one, but today's reading was at least more promising! Maybe tomorrow Michael!
 
Morning folks. On the 5.5 step with @Gwynn. First time for a while we haven’t any frost, wet,wet, wet. Cue for a song? Haven’t left the house for two days, determined to today. Would like to walk into the town for a change rather than muddy woodlands, we have a beautiful cathedral, castle and fantastic old buildings, but although our city council website and FB page is begging us to #shoplocal #shopindepenent, even in these times, there ain’t any public loos open! Seven miles round trip without a wee ain’t gonna happen I’m afraid. So into the woods we go again! Have a good day, stay safe and stay home unless you’re going out for exercise into the woods! 🙂
 
Morning all. 🙂 3.5 here...there’s just no getting off this roller coaster...:D

Got a topsy-turvey schedule this week. Joining a different Welsh class this evening from 6-8 (will I be able to stay awake?o_O). Then instead of my usual class on Friday, we’re doing a test run of the online GCSE exam for the WJEC-CBAC. Hopefully, it’ll be a success, and 16-year-olds can do their exams in May/June.:D
 
And who can ever only eat 4?!
Depends how strict you are I suppose but being an insulin user and still in recovery from my ED I'd certainly only have 4 segments xx
 
Morning from yet another chilly Scottish morning

Well it’s a ridiculous 11.8 for me today, no idea why although did wake with a slightly sore throat, goodness knows how since I haven’t been out since March, don’t touch ANYTHING without washing my hands after, keep distance from those in the house, hopefully its just that my coil was going a bit dodgy in my vape yesterday!

Morrison’s delivery due tonight, will be the last one for a good while as can’t afford the £40 minimum order this frequently so Bruce has been told I’ll still pay for Bubbles’s food but he’ll just have to start getting Lidl’s Coshida stuff again, he was on it before so we know he’ll eat it etc, just hope everything comes tonight as there were a few new things I wanted to try included!

Late today as ran out of internet allowance on my dongle yesterday and nobody was near the shop until this morning to put money on the swipe card lol
xx
 
A 6.0 for me at 07:00 this morning. Warm and wet (steady @KARNAK) in West Berks this morning.

@rebrascora I got back on the exercise bike yesterday - 10.1 miles so feeling virtuous this morning 🙂
 
6.2 this morning. And it’s cold out there today that’s for sure.
