Group 7-day waking average?

Oh yes! Noodles just off the cooker & about to eat! I see, in reading back posts, that 6.9 was a popular waking reading recently: bit behind the trend in getting MY 6.9 today; but, Hey! I’ve always been a late bloomer in nearly everything in my life! :D😎😛😉
 
Good Morning 7.1 this morning
 
Back home and bg reading has dropped to 6.6?? So back to the treadmill but have to earn the pennies.
@Michael12421 good to see a better reading this morning, hope the rain has stopped.
Have a lovely Monday all xx
 
3.6 for me, body tired, been gardening all weekend but have loved it and the cat's have some nice new soil to poo in before I plant out don't just you luv em 🙂 .
 
6.1 for me on this Monday morning. Have a good week everyone.
 
Good morning from an on-time GWR Bristol to Paddington train between Swindon and Didcot Parkway! Empty carriage and a nice coffee to keep me sustained till I find breakfast in the City.

At 0410 this morning (aargh -so early) my FBG was 5.8mmol. After cutting myself shaving, dog thinking I was taking him for a walk, the kids insisting on waving me off in the taxi to Temple Meads station, it's a relative calm before the Big Smoke beckons at just before 0700.

Quick cab ride to where I need to be, breakfast, change into formal dress and another day making those coins begins. Same hotel as last week which is good, only till Thursday...

Wish everyone a very happy Monday!

Good morning.

Yesterday was another good day. Grand daughter was delightful. Her vocabulary and speech pronounciation is very good. Spent a lovely afternoon on the beach. We all ate ice cream!!!

I was exhausted by the end of the day. Looking after someone elses 2.5 year old is hard work. I had forgotten just how much hard work it can be.

Only a couple of tiny tantrums (the grand daughter, not me). Tiny they were, more of a louder grumble. On the whole she seems very contented.

My BG in the evening was 5.3 so the ice cream had not upset things.

This morning at 6am BG, er, yes, a 5.3

Feeling a little less tired this morning.
 
Morning all. 6.4 for me. Running very late this morning. Off to work. Catch up later.
 
Morning fellow finger prickers. A joyous 5.4. I’m fully compos mentis today, although yesterday I did strip the bed and did three loads of washing! I wasn’t that hungover!

Today begins the countdown to our much awaited holiday to the Isle of Arran this coming Saturday. We’re staying on the north west of the island, not much in the way of shops or eateries, which we don’t mind, so I’ll be doing some meals to freeze and take with us. No Tesco et al either, a large Coop in Brodick on the east of the island will have to suffice for the basics. And of course I will NEED to clean the house from top to bottom before we leave! Busy week so must dash.

Have a happy Monday. 🙂

Glad to see you back @Lanny. Sounds like a good, if exhausting day @Gwynn. Grandchildren are a joy and then you hand them back!
 
Morning all, 5.1 here, so close! Off to do the early morning supermarket run in a mo, though last week it was a lot busier at half past eight, but it was first day back to school after Easter, and I sensed a lot of panicky packed lunches being bought, Hope people are more organised and it’s quieter this week, I’ve got used to having the shop to myself.

Enjoy Arran. A fine place with happy memories for me. I can still taste the sausage and bacon I had as a kid - mind you the egg and bacon this morning outside of a greasy spoon comes close (Tables filled with QCs and juniors too) so must be a dodgy joint 😉
 
Morning all! 5.4 for me this morning. Bit chilly out again, but the sun was shining.
 
7.4 for me this morning.Unsure if it going back up will just keep doing my testing. I was out yesterday and we did have a shop-bought sandwich and I do know that bread is a big upper for me. I Will just have to try and pack a salad next time but I am getting fed up with salads and the change of food. Poor me eh folks have had to do this and worse for years. I am good at home with cooking and things but it's when out and those spur-of-the-moment decisions. Again it all must come with practice. My usual go-to's are sandwich crisps and fruit. Crisps I believe were my downfall those and pasta, rice, and bread even though they are all wholemeal they do spike every time. Trying Nimble this week. The rye sourdough artisan bread spiked as does normal seeded wholemeal. Don't seem to find bergen bread near me and don't know what else to try. Hubby says no to making our own and we have no room for a bread machine so I understand also no to the £10 a loaf when he will eat a 40p one at times. Have a great Monday people
 
6.4 this morning, from 5.2 (and an unbolused for twix due to iob) last night.

I reduced my dinner apidra ratio by a third and my lantus by 20% last night after a lot of evening lows this week. A bigger change in doses than is reccomended in one go so I’ll probably have some highs and gradually increase it, but better than overnight hypos
 
Morning all and a great start to the week for me. A 5.2 at 05:51 this morning followed by a text from the GP telling me that my first unmedicated HbA1c is 34!

Had a lazy day on Saturday - I think the highlight was making my son some jam tarts. Managed a 5.0 at 05:58. Sunday I managed a 5.9 at 07:02. Made a lemon drizzle cake (the jam tarts had disappeared 🙂 ). Cut the grass (a near 3 hour job) then made Greek style roast lamb and a Greek salad which we ate in the garden. It was lovely to eat outside again.
