Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 5.8 today (5.2 on going to bed last night and 4.8 in the middle of the night)

Have a great day everybody
 
Morning all. 6.6 at 6am! It’s a cold and frosty morning but I don’t care. I’m off on my hollibobs this afternoon and I want it to be cold and frosty. Just an hour and a half away, so will set off at 2.30ish. This is our Christmas present to each other, we don’t need anything and if we do, we just get it. It’s pointless buying something just for the sake of it. I will expect a book to open on Christmas morning, I’ve hinted with a few titles. Mr Eggy is getting nowt to open! ( Well, maybe a large bar of Fruit and Nut). He’s had a new camera and lens this year. He’s used up his birthday and Christmas present allowance until he pops his clogs! :D

Must dash, got things to do, you know, like Hoover myself out of the door, make soup with the leftovers in the fridge, change the bed, clean the house from top to bottom. All the usual things you do before going on holiday. I would hate to be broken into and the burglars thought I kept an untidy home.That would never do.😉 I also need to pack my sharp knife, my cast iron casserole dish and my spices. There’s never a sharp knife in holiday accommodation and you end up hacking into an onion/ tomato with a butter knife! Please tell me it’s not just me who does all this before they go away.:confused:

Have a great day. I’ll hopefully be around but don’t worry if I’m not, either the fells have disturbed the WiFi system or I’m stuck in the snow on the summit of Coniston Old Man! 😛
 
Morning everyone. A higher 9.5 for me, due to a very stressful week and a stinking cold. All combining to make my levels hover high 9s to low 11s 🙄

Last day at work for this week. I'm owed some time so booked tomorrow off and we're off away for my birthday weekend. Hope the cold eases up later.

@Gwynn i hope your op goes ok.
@eggyg enjoy your break, and no, you're not the only one who does that before they go.

Have a good day everyone.

You have a great break away too. I’m very excited as it’s going to be so Christmasssy. :DThere’s a Christmas Fair in the village at the weekend, with a lantern parade and carol singing on the Saturday. I suppose it’s too much to ask for some snow too.
 
Morning all, 6.3 here.
Hope all goes well today, @Gwynn .
I always take a sharp knife away with me, @eggyg. Never resorted to a casserole dish, but I was caught out in North Devon where, despite the cottage only sleeping a maximum of four at a pinch, all the cookware would have fed fourteen! And I always have ambitions of leaving my house spick and span, but it never quite works out)

9.5km walk done. Stopped off at Boots to get more emergency Day/Night Nurse and left the advent calendar on the doorstep of the friend.

Popped into Waitrose and forgive me but I bought bread. A wonderful smelling seeded sourdough rustique thing.
Screw diabetes for a few days, I’ve got Man Flu and want carbs!

@ColinUK I hope your gift has been accepted by your friend, get well soon
 
Good morning everyone and very good luck to @Gwynn for your op today. I am sure it will all go very smoothly.

Reporting a lovely 5.4 this morning and a nice steady line overnight. Something changed yesterday and the battle I was having with my levels has subsided. No idea what or why but so nice when you get nice in range numbers and not constantly having to inject corrections to firefight. I even reduced my basal back down by one unit last night and went to bed on 7.6 so another good call. I stayed with 25 units this morning but I don't mind having to have the odd carb top up. Its when I am stacking corrections and levels are still rising when I start to get anxious, especially when I can't see any obvious reason for it and the tiniest bit of food or drink, even low carb sets them climbing and I have to wait an hour or more for bolus to show any sign of working.... it's just weird! Sooo pleased to be back to normal again.

@eggyg hope you have a safe journey and a lovely break. Rather surprised you aren't staying somewhere fully catered after the past few weeks of hosting you have done. You must be shattered. Surely a few nice meals cooked for you would have been better than packing your own sharp knife to chop onions!!

@freesia Hope today passes quickly and smoothly and you have a lovely birthday and a fab trip away. I think you are in real need of a battery recharge!
 
6.5 this morning. Grey skies taking over the blue patches from the West and a chilly 6deg with a cold wind here in Poole.
This is Christmas in the Brown's household this year......

That made me laugh. In Arran back in May, the cottage was definitely just for two and it had the biggest gravy boat I’ve ever seen in my life! Plus a food mixer, Yorkshire pudding tray for 12 and about 20 plates and 30 glasses! But no kitchen tongs! o_O I take my own now. It’s my first time taking a casserole dish but I’m making a curry tonight and I’m worried they won’t have one with a tight fitting lid! I was going to make it yesterday and take it with us to heat up, but ran out of time.

I won’t be cooking much. Just a curry tonight. Taking a pre made and frozen Bolognaise, cottage pie and a Mediterranean stew which just needs fish added. Just a few short years ago we always stayed in hotels and enjoyed being cooked for but unfortunately I can’t eat like that every night now. We will be having a couple of meals out, either a decent lunch and a picky tea back in the cottage or a pub meal on an evening. We’ve three to chose from within walking distance. 🙂
 
Good morning everyone 🙂 hope you're all well 🙂
8:01am 5.4 for me - 15.0 units of tresiba done
23:04pm bedtime 5.9 - had 3x rich tea biscuits which was 18g of carbs and no humalog. In-between tea and bedtime I had 1 tiny drop of red wine which I poured into my glass of diet pepsi and I also had 1x 16g bag of quavers 10g of carbs with no humalog.
19:11pm before tea 9.6 a tiny bit over target and reason unknown unless it was the shot glass of baileys I had just before this when I was getting tea ready. It can't have been exercise because I didn't do too much at all when I got in from work. 84g of carbs for tea - 8.5 units humalog for food - 1.0 unit correction.

Hope everyone has a good day 🙂
 
Morning all, another 7.2 and off for D review soon, eye screening tomorrow. I know my HbA1c is going to have skyrocketed and in a way I hope it has to give me a good kick up the bum, been so bad since my op.
@eggyg I give my house a quick going over before going away, don’t change the bed and never go anywhere where I have to cook for myself, I need pampering when I go away lol! Have a lovely break away.
@freesia wishing you a lovely relaxing birthday weekend - enjoy x
Have a good day all xx

5.1!
 
Morning

7.5 today

Very chilly and we've had snow showers through the night, feel for those up North who are still without power, water etc as they've had the snow much worse throughout yesterday :( xx
 
Morning All
After a few days of playing yo-yo with BG’s, always staying over 5.5 I’ve recorded a 13.1 for this morning.
I know the consultant wants the readings to run high whilst DVLA try to give me my class 2 but they do seem to be running high
I feel good however, just a bit tired.
Stay safe.
