Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone 5.4 (fingers 5.7) with libre moaning at me at about 5am. I got out of bed and moved about to fix that and went back to sleep 😉

I need to reduce basal tonight. I am being pretty well monitored by DSN so better stick to her waking targets of 7. Was expecting this as I knew I was leaning on basal for sorting out what bolus didn't and with carb counting, that need isn't there so much. Plus feeling better is having a positive impact on things.
One more thing I noticed (could be coincidence) is my psoriasis on my face is so much calmer in the last week.

Who even am I with this nothing to complain about :D
 
7.0 this morning, but I had been rushing around before checking it as got a big Olio food waste hero collection last night and people were coming to collect veg/ fruit/ flowers this morning shortly after I woke.

Not yet actually eaten so will see what it is pre- lunch/brunch!
 
I was 6.9 this morning, haven’t posted many mornings this week as I’ve been a bit wiped out trying to get back to normal with work etc. I’ve got up to 5-6 hours a day and some time in the office, and a lot of time in bed recovering, but better than I’ve been for at least a month or more.

Had flu jab (in my left arm) this morning, and have covid jab (presumably in my right arm) this evening. It’s 2.5hrs after my flu jab and just a bit sniffly and tired so far. Hoping side effects aren’t any more than that, as I’m only just coming through the other side of this ME relapse and starting to see the light at the end of it.
 
It is hard to talk about the experience of going to a funeral as it is so emotional and even thinking about it several days later brings tears to the eyes. Sometimes you only find out about the detail of their life and what a wonderful kind person they were. It was my foster mother who I called Mop and she lived just short of 100 years. She received a card from the Queen which had been sent 2 days before she died so probably one of the last cards sent.
The minister had really listened to the words from the family and gave a lovely address referring to her life. Her grandson who has Down's read a few words he had written about his grandma, which had everyone in tears. Sadly, she had dementia and never really new that her husband passed away a few years ago but was aware that he no longer visited. Apparently, the only thing she would eat were chocolate buttons, but they had kept her going.
But it was good to meet up with family even though it was sad circumstances.
Sorry for the rambling but I had to get it off my chest.
And now to enjoy Strictly, what a brilliant start.
 
@Leadinglights So sorry to hear you had a sad and emotional event to attend but don't lose sight of all the happy memories that you had of and with "Mop". Hope Strictly is entertaining enough to distract you from your sorrow. I am hoping someone is going to start a thread because I don't have a TV so I am relying on you guys to keep me abreast of events so that I can discuss it with some degree of knowledge with my sister and best friend. Don't let me down fellow Strictly lovers. I need your input.
 
Good morning everyone

I need something new to happen. Something exciting. Something to look forward to. Sigh

Any way BG good at 5.3

Church later on

Then.....

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning all. 6.2 on this cool morning. Still haven’t flicked the heating on though. Determined not to until we’re back from our holidays. We’ve only another week to last. We do have an open fire and we’ve been burning logs on an evening, so it’s not exactly freezing. We are running out of trees though! :rofl: Don’t worry, we won’t have to resort to pulling up the floor boards or skirting boards to burn. It’ll be the piano next! 😉

Feeling a bit achy this morning, don’t know whether it was the almost nine mile walk yesterday or my jabs. Left arm is tender ( autumn booster) but right arm ( flu) feels fine and that was the one that really hurt going in! Fingers crossed all is well. Also bought some LFTs, no symptoms but may test a few days before holiday or if mother in law does test positive. Mr Eggy saw her briefly on Friday night, he had to fly round after a call from her evening carer as she couldn’t get into the house and there wasn’t any response to her knocking. She was fine, she’d left her keys in the back of the door and had the TV on full blast and didn’t have her hearing aids in! 🙄 Mr Eggy just knocked very loud at the window, anyhoo, he said she looked better than she had on Wednesday, so just a cold most probably.

Quiet day as we have a really busy week ahead.

Have a good day. 🙂
 
11.2 I've cough with a nasty cough on top of my other issues (not COVID I checked) I've increased both my novorapid and levimer
 
Another 5.3. 🙂

Morning all. 8.3 for me. Sadly, getting another unicorn day yesterday was scuppered by a tiny rise after tea which just took me out of target, then a DP rise at 3am. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted.

Have a good day everyone.
 
6.3 for me this morning and that was with a half unit Levemir increase last night despite hypoing the night before with a 1.5u reduction. I just had a gut feeling it was going to need a bit more last night and graph has stayed nicely in the centre on the range all night so it was a good call. I like it when I get it right! :D 😎
