Group 7-day waking average?

We're at the theatre atm. Just checked my levels during the interval. 16.8 going up fast!!!! Oopps, i totally misjudged the meal before. Oh well, we're having a good time. 3u correction just gone in and the second part of the show still to come..
 
6.7
 
Good morning everyone. Up at 5am (late for me). Very dark now in the mornings.

BG 4.8
BP 113/71
Pulse 64

I think I will join you @MikeyBikey and have an extra diabetes busting cup of tea. 🙂

Nothing much planned for today.

It has quite suddenly turned cold here. The wind seems to be picking up and the clouds are dark and foreboding. Not sure I want to go out walking this morning. Maybe this afternoon instead.

Sweet and sour chicken with garden peas for tea. Yessss!

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
4.3 for me today. It was 5.2 when the alarm first went off at 6.30 but I was too tired and it was too cold to get up so I am not claiming it and had another half hour's snooze. Still cold but I am a little more awake now that I have had a coffee. Must head out as we are back for the second day of competition today.... cone driving and animals are to feed and muck out first! Let's hope we don't have a disaster as I think we did reasonably well yesterday.
 
Morning all. 7.9 here.

Had a v nice day out yesterday - we visited Milford Haven Waterfront for a coffee, then accidentally happened upon a Farm Shop and cafe near Tenby on our way home. Sat in a field, staring at more fields, cows, sheep, and little black pigs being fed by excited children, and had a v nice lunch. They even sold beer, so hubby was happy.

Anyone got to the bottom of Libre’s rubbish alarms yet? Mine only work in Swansea LOL. Unfortunately, I don’t live in Swansea. Luckily, my body woke me up last night in time to treat a hypo. What is the point of them? Hmph.
 
Morning all.5.6 today.

Not as cold as yesterday morning thank goodness. We lit our fire yesterday to take the chill off the place, then inevitably got too hot as the sun shone through the living room window! I had to decamp to the kitchen at the back of the house!

Today will be a “ bitty” day as mother-in -law is coming home from hospital after 10 days of bedblocking. They wouldn’t release her until another care package was put in place, ( she did receive carers three times a day) but the care company went into liquidation the day after she went into hospital! She is being brought home at 10 this morning on a “ release to assess” basis. To see if she can manage, if not they will take her back to hospital and try and get her in a care home on a temporary basis. Apart from being old, mild dementia and having health anxieties, which she has had all her life, there’s nothing wrong with with her. She’s had every test/ scan whilst in hospital and she’s fine. She’s loved the attention she’s being getting whilst in, she’s been laughing and joking with the nurses, wandering about the ward ( she does neither at home). I fear the late night phone calls saying she’s not well will soon start again. Perhaps a care home might be for the best. It’s sad and I hope I never become a burden to my children like that. It’s very wearing for her sons, two of who have health conditions of their own to deal with. Mr Eggy and his next brother down, are in their 60s and have had eight heart attacks between them!

Have a great Sunday everyone. 🙂
 
morning everyone. Not slept again (kinda all sorts of backwards with sleep)
8.6 but been a rough night.
Had "dinner" about midnight. Totalled up carbs, prepped food (it was a cold meal), sat down, logged all on libre app, waited 10 mins and ate. After a couple of hours I'm thinking that I was spiking quicker than usual. After 4 hours I was still going up so came to the conclusion that I did everything but actually inject 🙄.
Of course it would be when I am keeping rubbish hours too with no one awake/online to ask since DSN and I haven't discussed corrections that involve me being a total derp. Took an educated guess and so far, all's well with some wiggle room for the tail end of my fast acting.
I actually had a 100% in range at one point yesterday too - blew that right outta the water :rofl:
Oh well, lesson learned 😎

Hope you all have a great day, will play catch up when I get up.
 
Morning all.

Well the spike in the theater last night peaked at 18 and took 6u and several hours to bring down before i was happy to go to bed. I woke this morning to 6.7, a sluggish headache and feeling hungry. No idea why the meal caused the spike as i've had it before with no problems. Maybe they changed the ingredients in the sauce. Never mind, it was a one off and the show was fantastic so a good night was had.

Not much planned for today apart from some cleaning and washing. Have a good day.
 
Still a bit all over the place on days so not be coming onto forum.
Was at like 9 this morning then got out of bed and was up to 12 pretty much instantly. 3miles walk done and back down to 9, insulin taken and now time for Greek yog, but granola and rasp plus a small banana
 
4.8 for me today. 🙂 Definitely feeling a bit chilly here too.

Morning all, 4.8 here. No idea where these 4s are coming from, I’m not going low in the night, just not having a dawn rise. I’ve reduced my morning basal by a couple of units too, having had to ratchet up by a couple of units a few weeks ago.
 
Managed Wordle in 3 again today.
 
6.1 and wordle in 4 today.

It is very sad to see older people when they start to deteriorate but there are few options. My Gran was unable to take care of herself and went into a carehome but she absolutely loved it, there was people of her generation to talk to and things going on all the time. Mind you I am talking about 40 years ago.
Sometimes difficult decisions have to be made.
I hope she gets on OK when home.

My folks are starting to age more rapidly. They’re 80 and 82 so it’s understandable that they’re aging of course.
They both have heart issues and various bits of arthritis, dodgy knees etc.
As they’ve got loving children we’ve always said they’d never go in to a home. Not willingly anyway. We’d just take them to the top landing and grease up a tea tray and leave the rest to nature.
