Group 7-day waking average?

5.6 this morning.
 
Morning all on this post vaccination day and a low again, for me, 4.9. Happy with that. I can just see a beautiful sunrise on the horizon so going to slip on my wellies and get up the garden with my camera. Have a super Saturday. 🙂
 
Morning all. :D 4.2 here.

It’s snowing!!!! Unheard of here on the Pembrokeshire coast. It’s just a dusting, but exciting nonetheless...looks blermin’ freezing out there, mind. I wonder how many layers I can put on and still manage to walk?

Well, yesterday was Welsh all day, even hubby blurted out a couple of sentences (don’t know why he’s so reticent about talking to me in his mother tongue 😳). Anyhoo, wot with everything being over Zoom atm, there was a chap from Catalonia in book club who’d been on holiday to Wales and decided to learn the lingo. We’re taking over the world, I tell you!!!o_O😛

Wrap up warm!
 
It's a snowy winter wonderland outside. :D
A 5.3 for me today. 🙂 So no ill effects from last night's once in a while spag bolg with real pasta. It was so worth it.

4.1 again, nice pottering weekend ahead.
 
Morning

6.1 for me today, no snow overnight but the road in the scheme looks dreadful, snow plough was in but didn't do anything then gritter was in behind, at least he was actually spreading, blinded by both of them before 7am though!

Morning folks, 7.1 for me today.
@Lanny I am an ox in the Chinese calendar and a bull in the other one, wonder what that says about me??
Off to Sainsbury’s today, difficult day at work yesterday, lots of patients complaining about the wait times and I want to say to them I KNOW, I’ve been waiting two and a half years for mine :(.
Enjoy your weekend.
To our lovely teachers, enjoy your week off, you deserve it xx
 
6.3 this morning. And it’s bitterly cold here still.
 
9.8 for me this morning and I was high all night between 9 and 11.... so much for alcohol dropping your levels... even 3 large G&Ts!
Actually my levels have been running high since the vaccine on Wed apart from hypos Wed night and I have had to increase my basal twice and still regularly jab corrections or be much braver with bolus insulin. I was shocked to find myself at 16.8 ( 😱 ) yesterday afternoon with a vertical upward arrow which was my highest reading for about 18 months! My graph looked like I ate Mount Everest for brunch, but it was carefully weighed and generously bolused for and I waited until I was 6.0 and dropping before I started eating, so I was rather aghast to get such a huge reading mid afternoon! 6 units of Fiasp, a walk and eventually one jelly baby steadied me down to the 5s and then mid 4s before my evening meal, so I felt that I managed it very well.
Frustrating that I had my highest reading in ages and I didn't even have any birthday cake!
 
Morning everyone. 6.3 for me this morning. A bit of a lazy weekend planned, not much to do. My main job for half term week is cleaning my kitchen cupboards. Hmmmm.....i lead such an exciting life!

Have a good saturday!

5.3 on yet another freezing Berkshire morning. Minus 3.5, but no frost.

My wife's birthday today but obviously no dining out. Fortunately the restaurant we would have gone to is doing takeaway so we can still have what we would have chosen, we'll just be eating it at home instead.

Looking forward to a real sportsfest this weekend - cricket, tennis, rugby and football. Not confident of Wales beating Scotland in the rugby as we have seven of the regular players out injured and the Scots look to be in good form.

I really enjoyed the G&Ts and the tub of olives with feta that went with them thanks and I had a lovely day despite the challenges!
 
Good morning all - 6.4 this morning. Busy weekend sitting in front of the computer.... must make time to take regular breaks and exercise !

Have a great day everyone 🙂
 
Good morning world 6.0 today @ 09.30
hat a bit of a LOW and woke up and was 3.9 @ 3am after a few dried prunes, apricots & a couple of lift chews
thinking need to seriously reduce either the Metformin or the Nova mix
will see what they recon after I’ve had my HbA1c done later in the month
 
A chilly morning but not as cold as many of you. A 7 rising to 9 this morning. After finding that rats were nicking the bird food i started putting a small amount of seeds on the patio. Its taken a few weeks but now when i get up i am greeted by blackbirds waiting for breakfast. They are followed by a couple of robins, sparrows and even a wagtail. I never thought i would spend my mornings talking to birds.
