Group 7-day waking average?

gll said:
Morning all. 8.0 and feeling awful.
Tested positive for covid last night but knew that was coming 😉
So far a raging temperature, horrible chest with aches and headaches thrown in for fun.

Heading back to bed now paracetamol has started to work, hopefully for a better sleep this time around.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Take care.
 
Afternoon folks. 🙂 5.0 here this morning.

Complain @goodybags. That's disgraceful. Well done for not exploding. I'd have been tempted to walk out.
What's happened to the "Language Matters" campaign? Aren't medics supposed to receive training these days? I guess some people are such a-holes they're untrainable. I'm fuming! 😡

Anyway, nice to have you back @Telemóveis. Wasn't it your birthday recently? I hope you had a fab day.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.5 this morning at 3:30am.

BP 116/75
Pulse 58 (Hmm a bit low again, not seen that for a while now)

Up early 3:30am ( a bit earlier than I expected) to ensure I am well hydrated for the second attempt at getting some blood test results via a second visit to the vampires...at 8:15am !!!!

I have been reading up on PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) because I have to take them for life and I have discovered that they badly affect the absorption of calcium, magnesium, iodine, copper, zinc, vitamin B12, not sure about other vitamins right now. What concerns me is that zero monitoring of some of these aspects has been done (in any of my blood tests) but is recommended by numerous studies across the world. Should I be concerned?

Have a great day everyone, whatever you are doing.
 
Good morning Sunny Tuesday 5.1
looks like it was a good night for my BS levels as before bed test was 5.8
Yesterday tested several times highest was 7.1 in the day.

This afternoon have a long awaited phone call from Diabetes specialist consultant at hospital (I’m hoping to change one of my medication) plus might speak about attitude of Dr eye dept last week

Good luck @ the blood sucking department this morning @Gwynn

Have a great Day Everybody 😎
 
6.1 today

Had to go to Paddington to pick up an eBay purchase last night so thought I’d cycle there and then use a zipcar (car club) to bring it home. A decent idea I thought, and it’s nice supported exercise for my Achilles. It was until I was knocked off the bike in the West End.
I was in a cycle lane and a car driver veered into it and clipped the back wheel of the bike sending me flying over the bonnet and down the road.
Took me a while to realise I was bleeding quite profusely from the arm and leg that took the brunt of the landing.
Driver made lame apologies and buggered off without telling me I was bleeding and I was in shock so didn’t notice until a few minutes later.
Staggered to Boots to buy something to clean the wounds and dress them and ended up getting a cab to Paddington ache home again.
Of course the leg which was carrying the Achilles injury was the one which took the brunt of this so that’s swollen up nicely and set me back with healing.
I’m just marvelling at how quickly we’d bounce back when things like this happened in our youth compared to now. I certainly don’t bounce like I did as a kid that’s for sure.

Curious to see what BG response was like to the trauma, I tested when I got home and it was 8.7 and I’d been pretty much before 5.7 all day until then.

16.1 at 5.30am, climbed all night after sitting in the 8s from 8am to 2pm. Mayb a haloumi and tomato wrap with falfals wasn't a good choice?.
Been for a 2mile brisk walk so hopefully it will come down ready to have breakfast.

It’d have been the falafels which were an issue for me. And I love a good falafel.
 
@ColinUK so sorry to hear of your accident. I hope you heel (pun intended) quickly. The driver should have stopped and helped !!! Sigh.
 
Hey all.
No proper waking reading today, been napping on and off since yesterday. Chilling at 10.9

Still feeling horrible. Cant stay awake for long and pulled so many muscles with the coughing. Temp is still up but more managed with setting an alarm for paracetamol 🙂
I got up and hung up some washing on the airier and thats knackered me out. Going back to bed 🙄
 
Morning all. 7.4. Still a tad higher than normal but sore throat done one fairly quickly yesterday and two paracetamol sorted the stiff neck. Obviously, yesterday’s high was the rice!

We were originally planning on doing our weekly walk today as it’s our only free day this week, but it’s going to be far too hot for us. @ColinUK a bit like not bouncing back like we once did, walking in the heat is just not good for us, Mr Eggy’s heart can’t cope and I’m likely to go hypo. So a day pottering around the house/ garden it is. I know they say getting older is better than the alternative, but it’s still a pain in the proverbial! 😉
Anyway Colin, hope you’re not too badly injured, it’s a dangerous place that big, bad London Town. :(

Have a great day everyone, hope it’s not too hot where you are. 🙂

Morning all, 6.1 here. Should have been having blood tests this morning, but surgery rang to say HCP vampire is off sick, so next week it is.

They’ll be recruiting these next!

Morning 8.8 I over corrected last night and dropped to 3.1 3 and a half hours letter but one carrot of apple juice seemed to bring it up to 8.7.
 
Good morning - lovely blue sky and 24 degrees expected. BG 6.4 - shouldn't have given in to cheese and crackers at 0230... Off to the local charity shop to deliver excess goodies. Other than that Wolf and I are planning a quiet day with maybe some desultory weeding.
Ordered a gallon of extra strong glyphosate with adjuvants to continue the great ramble war - £99.99 even with shopping around. EEK! Last year it was £52.
Enjoy the sun - at least it is free!
