Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. :D 6.0 here - it's either 4.3 or 6.0 for me atm. Weird.

I'm enjoying the "rain" that was forecast - more like "sunshine" tee hee. 😎
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.2 yessss!!! Been a while

Just been out walking/exercising on the beach. They're putting up a funfair in readiness for the International kite festival over the weekend.

One doggy said hello to me this morning. The owner was so appologetic but I was so happy. Nice

Tonight I make sweet and sour chicken with beansprouts and mushrooms (again). This time I will photgraph it. I am usually so keen to eat hot food whilst it is hot that I forget to photograph it. Doh!!!

Updating & checking the App databases today. Boring but essential.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
A 5.6 for me this morning after a 6.7 on retiring last night.
 
Decided to risk trying a cinnamon &raisin bagel for breakfast as I had a nice lower end of range fasting BG and there are still some in the freezer that I'd prefer not to waste. Ate a mini marmite cheddar with it to increase fat and maybe slow absorption of glucose, but at nearly 45g carbs for the meal it was more than I've had at once since I've started tracking BG and it went up 4mmol to 9.0. Still under the max that nurse gave me for post-meal but in the interests of helping my body reduce insulin resistance, not just keep to the letter of her instructions, I guess I'm only toasting half and saving the other half for the following day next time I try one....
 
On the plus side, the extra strips I ordered from eBay have arrived and I've checked the date and confirmed they're in date, so I won't run out by doing the extra testing on different meals including pre-meal testing for meals other than breakfast. (I was told a fasting and a post meal each day, and only prescribed enough strips for that 😉 )

Yes, I used to purchase extra test strips to do more experiments than my allocation would allow..... sometimes up to 16 a day. Got lots of useful data from it until I got Freestyle Libre and now scan an average of 28-30 times a day.
If you haven't already tired Freestyle Libre, they do a free 14 day (1 sensor) trial for anyone with diabetes not just on insulin, so might be interesting for you to do that even if you can't afford to self fund it after the trial..... WARNING.... it is highly addictive though 🙄
 
Oh yes.... Many congrats to @Gwynn on another House Special and also to @Wannie I think who posted one last night which may have been 2 in a row if my memory serves me correct, so good luck for the hattrick tomorrow!

Yes I saw the free trial and think I will get one at some point to try. Definitely not going to be able to afford to buy them after that unless I stop eating though....

You might as well apply for the free trial now so that you don't miss out on it.... Not saying the offer is going to end.... but it will sooner or later.... and you can just keep it until you want to use it (within expiry date obviously), but would be a shame to potentially miss out on all that amazing data it could be giving you.

Good point!
 
Afternoon guys

8.9 for me today, also the highest I've been today so far is only 12.4 so hoping things are finally calming down now!

Didn't see Bruce last night, he arranged for a man with a van to come and uplift some of the bigger stuff from his flat as our recycling centre doesn't take those items and the guy said he'd be there between 5 and 6, he didn't turn up until almost 8:20! lesson - don't listen when your workmates suggest someone they know as a friend xx
 
hope your friday has been good.
went to bed with 7.5 and woke up with 6.8.
 
Very late today - back to work and all normality (of the last 5 weeks and 2 days) out of the window ! An 8.3 way back this morning.
2 day week of meetings and training and planning and I’m absolutely knackard. Dreading 5 days of actual children next week!!
