Group 7-day waking average?

[Grannylorraine]

7.4 for me today, so a slight improvement, got my son to do another lateral flow test as he isn't getting any better and starting coughing, but it came out negative again, so is just a lurgy, still hoping I don't get it.

Managed to run 12.5km yesterday, first 5km were slow as my friend who has not run since she had covid at the beginnig of October wanted to try a run, so we met up and she joined me for the 5km which is why we took it easy, then I carried on as I wanted to do 10k, but got carried away, could have run more but stopped as I was near the coffee shop and it was almost 11am and I wanted to stand still for the silence.

Have a good day everyone

Morning all, 4.1 here. Going for my Covid Booster this morning. There’s now a closer vaccine centre, so I don’t have to trek all the way over to the other side of Oxford. NHS booking system says it’s 9 miles, so fulfils the pledge of everyone being within 10 miles of one, but I reckon that would involve driving straight through Blenheim Palace, and then down the runway at Oxford Airport, so I think I’ll do the 11 miles round by the normal roads.

Straight-line / as crow flies distance apps can be a long way out! When we lived in Newport (the S. Wales one) I had a tutoring agency try to persuade me that Clevedon was a short distance away - they just could not grasp that as I was neither a crow nor possessed an amphibious vehicle capable of traversing the direct route across the Severn Estuary, it would not be worth my while for a 1 hour session!

You're clearly feeling OK if you can run 12km!
I did a lovely slow steady Park Run on saturday. Intention was to run (or jog) the whole thing at as close to a steady pace as I could manage and looking at the stats afterwards I almost achieved that steady pace I was after.
Hopefully today, assuming the engineer comes out on time, I'll head to the shops and treat myself to a pair of trail running shoes in anticipation of next weekend and the Hampstead Heath Park Run as that's going to be propper trail running!

Morning

9.6 for me

Decided to break out my "spare" echo pen yesterday as had a did I didn't I moment on how much bolus I'd taken and couldn't check seen as it hasn't stored a dose in months and often isn't even displaying the 2 dashes anymore, I'll phone the health centre tomorrow to request a new spare, I did it online before but since they changed the system it no longer comes up with suggestions when you start typing something not on repeat (it was removed a while ago) and the dispensing label is so faded it gives no real help lol xx

I didn't know you could get an echo pen on prsscription. The DSN gave me mine but i'm back in GP care now

Yeah when you need a new spare you just order it through the GP's surgery, well that's always what I've been told to do, I phoned this afternoon wanting to chat to the pharmacist about it but the lad on reception wouldn't do that so I had to disclose to him what I was after, he still tried to tell me after explaining as it's more than 2 years since I was last issued one I'd have to see the clinician so again I was like it's an insulin pen, I'm always going to need it so he spoke to someone higher who told him it was fine to put it through for the clinician to issue xx

Good morning - 8.4

 

[SueEK]

Morning all a whopping 8.7 for me. I ate a whole box of orange matchmakers last evening so no surprises there, don’t know why I had them but I did. Haven’t got my act in order since my op and seem to have a real block where my eating is concerned. Time for action and a kick up my bum me thinks. I have my D review on 1st December and I know it will have gone up, probably by quite a lot.
Have a good day lol x

4.4 for me. Starting to find that my mid afternoon levels are rising now that I have shifted my evening basal to an earlier time. Needed 3 corrections yesterday afternoon and evening but TIR is up to 89% and just 3% below so that is looking much better.

I had a lovely surprise yesterday when I got a letter to say ERNIE had picked my number out for a £25 prize. My premium bonds were bought for me when I was a child and either £5 or £10, which of course would be a lot of money then, but it's about 50 years ago so I had completely forgotten about their existence. Cheers Mam and Dad!
I was half expecting an official looking letter the last couple of weeks as they had changed the road layout when I went into Newcastle the other evening and I ended up in a bus lane, because that is the route I have always used and I was half way across the traffic lighted junction when I realised that my road ahead was a bus lane now and no opportunity to alter my course. Goodness knows how long it has been like that but I would imagine it changed sometime in the last 2 years since I haven't been anywhere socially in nearly 2 years! Anyway, I am delighted that the official letter in my postbox was money and not a fine!.... Now, what to spend it on???

Good morning everyone. It is still totally dark out there right noe.

Up a bit later this morning.

BG 4.6 Which is ok

A bit concerned about my pulse though. The Omron confirmed that it was 52 bpm this morning and it is now regularaly below 55 bmp. However, I need to get my eye operations over with before insulting the GP about my pulse.

Everything else is ok, no symptoms or ill effects. On retest it was 55 bpm (borderline warning). A reading below 50 bpm is considered critical and needs immediate attention apparently.

I must be super super fit. Hmmm.

06:22 BS 5.2! 😱 Bang on the nose for another House Special!😛😎😉

AND I’ve been in the tesco queue for Christmas delivery slots, thank goodness I decided to join the delivery saver plan at the end of October as I couldn’t get a slot for Christmas week last year & they wouldn’t take on new customers for the delivery saver, since 05:45 this morning with no. 17035! 😱 I set alarm for 05:15 & shopped with everything in the basket ready to go & dozed off again until second alarm to join the queue as slots opened up at 06:00. Only took 22 minutes to get on, booked my slot for 22/12/21 & I’m done! But, festive food to order this year is very minimal with only large turkey’s so, only went for a whole roast chicken this year!🙄

I completely forget to check in yesterday & can’t remember the exact time but, it was BS 6.0 yesterday!

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

Was watching Lego Masters both series 1 & 2 on All 4 & WOW! 😱 The things you can build with lego bricks!😎😛 Used to love lego as a child & I like the old style classic bricks as opposed to the newer more modern bricks with motors etc. as I’ve never been good with mechanical stuff!🙄

Good morning 🙂 5.4 for me today 🙂

 

[goodybags]

Good morning 6.9 today

 

[freesia]

Good morning. After the sensor suddenly stopped working for a while yesterday evening it started up again and stayed in target! Woke to a 5.2!!

Congrats @Lanny on yours

 

[Kopiert]

A poor 7.1 for me today. Not entirely sure why, I had to sort out the dog this morning, so I was about 30 to 45 mins late in a measurement.

 

[rebrascora]

Many congratulations to @Lanny and @freesia on waking to the magic number. Hope it heralds a good BG day for you both.

Morning. 5.8 today but I’ve skirted close to the edge of hypoland all night. No alcohol was harmed in the making of this number! I was low before bed ( 5.9) had my customary snack and read for 45 minutes. Quick swipe at lights out, 4.4! I believed it was compression so laid down to sleep. But of course I couldn’t, waited 10 mins, still 4.4. Checked on metre, 4.6! Two jelly babies, as usually they send me sky high instantly. Fell asleep, woke up suddenly 50 minutes later, 5.1! Should really have had another jelly baby but I felt so tired I didn’t have the energy, and I have the alarm on my Libre to wake me if I go hypo. Woke at 5 for loo. 4.7! I didn’t have anything as this is the time it goes up. It did. Basal back down by half again tonight. It’s blooming hard work sometimes isn’t it? 🙄

Anyhoo, that’s my exciting night. Not quite like they used to be! 😉

Have a fab day all. Good work @Lanny. 🙂

I’m going to leave you with a couple of photos of the fog that descended the Carlisle area just around dusk yesterday. We’d been out walking and the fog followed us back home. We stopped at the top of our hill to take photos over to the river. Never seen anything like it. Ethereal.

A poor 7.1 for me today. Not entirely sure why, I had to sort out the dog this morning, so I was about 30 to 45 mins late in a measurement.

That will be why then! We call it Foot On The Floor syndrome (FOTF) or Dawn Phenomenon (DP) and it is caused by your liver (not so) helpfully dumping glucose into your blood stream to give you energy to start the day. I woke up on 4.4 at 5.30am and currently 8.0 even though I haven't had breakfast.

Well done. You snook that in whilst I was writing the history of my life!

Morning all, 4.9 here. Dawn effect seems to have gone AWOL so far this week, not that I’m complaining, but she’s just subbed her teammate, Foot on the floor, it’ll shoot up in a mo. Had the Pfizer yesterday, very stiff arm this morning, which I didn’t get after either of the AZs or the flu jab. No other SEs so far, though.
Congratulations on the HSs, @Lanny and @freesia !

Good morning 🙂 5.8 for me today and within my target 🙂
