Group 7-day waking average?

Evening

didn’t get to post this morning, waking was 6.9 following a big asthma attack in the night, got my breathing sort of ok, so decided I could work and walked into the most horrendous day, was asked to join a webex meeting as soon as I logged on, where I had a group of people launching into me why I hadn’t done something, didn’t initially give me a chance to even investigate the issue before they started berating me, when I could finally look at what had happened someone else had made a mistake and put the work in the wrong queue, so I would have never seen it in a million years, hold back on pointing out not only that, but other obvious errors that had been made, but we all no management don’t like being told it is their mistakes.

anyway massive of work, loads of stuff coming into my queue which had errors in, which I usually try and put right myself or ask very politely to have it corrected, not today, I wasn’t rude, but to the point with my emails, moral of the story, next time I have an asthma attack, ring in sick and let them get on with it. Finally logged off, not all work finished just in time to go yoga, but there was no way I was missing yoga for that company.

sorry rant over.
 
@Grannylorraine sounds a horrendous day at work, hope you're feeling more relaxed this evening after yoga
 
Good Morning

5.1 on waking today. I am still staying over at my sons today, so spending time with Wilbur and Luna so this is who I woke up too today. My son is trying to convince me to get an Iggy as says then there is no option but to exercise. 🙂 Have a good day all.

Good morning 5.9 today

Have a great day 😎
 
Morning yawning! 6.8 after a very restless night, hot and clammy with very vivid and not nice dreams. Is it bedtime yet? :(

Good news is I had another 100% day yesterday, two this week. And who says there’s no such thing as unicorns? The thing that helped was after my dental hygienist appointment I felt so unwell, I always get a lot of pressure in my head and I was dizzy for hours, I didn’t feel much like eating at lunch time. Just had a few crackers. I did make up for it at tea time though but obviously, for a change, got my bolus spot on. Miracles do happen.

Today’s grandchildren day, “ just” the four today, and a short day for the three farmers’ children. Cupboards, drawers and fridges full! Not for long. Gingerbread nice and sticky now. Me and Mr Eggy had to sample it last night of course incase it wasn’t good enough for our little darlings! 😉

Have a fab Friday. 🙂
 
Morning all, 6.5 here. Caught up some sleep last night, the roadworks on the corner were a lot quieter after 11pm, I think they had loads of complaints about the previous night. One more night, then I look forward to not disappearing down giant potholes every time I venture out.
 
good morning all 4.9 for me on waking at 6.30am, dogs fed and out, swimming and shopping this morning for me hope everyone has a good day.
 
Morning 8.1
 
Morning all. 9.6 for me, a bit higher as i've been in the 4s mainly the last couple of weeks. A friend is coming round this morning and i'm having hair cut and coloured this afternoon.

Have a good day whatever you are doing.
 
Bonjour.
6.0 this morning.
C’est tout.

Hiya @JACK123456789

It's my first pump. It's NHS funded. And I'm extremely happy with it. There's been a lot of work involved - like with any pump start - tweaking, adjusting, tweaking, but I can already see improvements in my management and predicted HbA1c.

Out of interest, why would you have to self-fund? Have you asked for a pump / been told you can't have one?

Hi,

to be honest i have not been told much but for what i could put together it will be a long time until;l the nhs will offer me one if at all. they still have not sort the libre system out for me.
 
Morning! A dreadful 15.4 this morning! However it may be adrenalin driven. As I transferred from bed to wheelchair the wheelchair slipped and down I went! Sh*t I thought particularly as the residents' alarm system is out due to a software issue. All these things should have an easy rewind updates system especially Windows and Android, OS and apps. Anyway I managed to haul myself up which I could not have done a year ago. All the effort with weights and exercise bands had paid off! Only damage seems to be a nasty scratch on my back where it caught the stump board mount.
 
Late to bed and late to rise. What a surprise 🙂

Thought I'd lost the knack.

I'm not being nosy, but - have you asked? I started asking in 2018, at every review, until a consultant finally said "Yes!" Wore them down, ha-ha-ha.
 
Me again! Morning folks. 🙂 6.1 here.

We're going out for lunch today and I'm going to try splitting the dose and using an extended bolus for the first time. Eating out and guesstimating carb is my nemesis, I always get it wrong. So hopefully, this time, I'll get it right. 😎

Night-time roadworks @Robin? Bit much, isn't it?
