Group 7-day waking average?

@rebrascora i have an appointment with the GP one week after i saw him last, to see how things are going. From reading online it looks like it can take between one week and a couple of months to see if stopping painkillers helps reduce the pain or not so it's just a matter of riding it out for now. No matter how many painkillers i took they weren't reducing the pain so i'm not sure taking any would help that much anyway. Eating ice seems the best thing so far as it gives you brain freeze and numbs things a bit.
 
Well! 🙂 Things have started & getting a bit better! Phew! Finally got my BS down to a decent 11:36 BS 5.1 when I ate around midday with 86 Tresiba & I dialled up 44NR but, changed it back down to 42 for a cheese & ham sandwich with heinz chicken soup. Then, I slept for a bit & had alarm set to watch Strictly, just started & watched the first dance already as I’m posting, & this will be a slowly composed post as I stop to watch the dancing & type when the judges speak! 18:18 BS 10.1 a bit better & 44 earlier would have been better but, I’ll have to wait for the 86 Tresiba to come through these 3 days to see what happens?:confused:

Edited to add:- Oh! Almost forgot! Half oatcake in & a slight reduction, a bit lower waking BS, 16 NR & eat after Strictly!

You can't watch Strictly when F1 qualy is on Channel 4! :(

Different things for different people: F1 is deadly DULL; will put me to sleep! :rofl: A bit strange there with the high speeds of the cars but, it just doesn’t interest me to see the repetitive laps going round & round the track!🙄

A bit tongue in cheek, there! 😉

My favourite motorsport is the Isle of Man TT. When I get bored of being asked how I lost my leg I say I crashed practising for the TT!

Morning all. Was hoping for a lie in but, alas, here I am. 6.9.

Today is all about final preparations for our holiday. Cleaning, packing and trying to figure out what to do with one egg, an onion, half a tub of Ardennes pâté and some tatties for our tea! :confused: I suppose I could pick a courgette, yes, they’re still growing, to add to the mix. It’ll be interesting.:rofl:

Well done to yesterday’s HSers.
@Gwynn I had both my jabs last Saturday, felt a bit washed out the next day but still plodded on, my covid jab arm was a bit tender and achy, and itchy, but it only lasted a few days, flu jab no reaction at all. And now I’m protected once again, it’s worth it. Take two paracetamols ( if you can) before you go for them and maybe before bed.

See you all tomorrow, hopefully the rain will have stopped for my last few bits of washing to get dry and for Mr Eggy to cut the grass! Have a good day. 🙂

That sounds like potato and pate "burger" patties to me, mixing the egg in too. What did you do with the ingredients in the end?
 
BG this morning was 5.6. Had some cheeky reheated curry for breakfast/ brunch about 2 hours later, didn't check pre-meal but post meal 8.5. Not too bad, but maybe not the best thing to have for breakfast every day
 
@rebrascora is it you that mentioned cooking celeriac crisps? I ended up with a celeriac free yesterday so thinking I might try making some
 
Good morning - 4.6

Do you remember that all of last Winter I had no central heating? A man came to fix it in the middle of summer so I was unable to figure oit how to test it. Last night the temperature fell to 10 degrees and this morning the central heating is on.
 
5.5 for me today. 🙂

Good morning everyone

After yesterdays higher BG reading following my Covid booster and Flu jab, this morning it is a respectable 5.5

Out for a chilly walk in a short while

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

I had the egg for breakfast, the pâté on toast for lunch and I made tartiflette for tea with the onion and potatoes and some smelly French cheese I had in the fridge, it’s use by date was still good for a couple of weeks and I was going to leave it for when we got back. Mr Eggy liked it but I thought the cheese was too strong, so left most of it. Had peanut butter on toast for supper! I picked the two courgettes left on the plant, and have sliced and frozen them. Not much left in the fridge now. 🙂
 
Morning all. Cold has certainly arrived. Very sore throat etc and a 6.5.
 
Morning all. 🙂 A wwwhopping 12.1 here 😱 - 2 slices of pizza don’t take all night to digest, do they? Must be Covid jab related, ho hum.

We had another nice day out yesterday - first stop Llys-y-Frân reservoir for a hobble (hubby’s got a gammy leg) and a coffee with a lovely view. Then on to Maenclochog, which is a cute little village in the middle of nowhere with a surprisingly busy café, for lunch. And the sun was shining!
 
Morning all. A very close, but no cigar, 5.3.

Last minute packing to do and a nice, hot, bubbly bath to enable me to sort my “ bits” out is the order of the day. TMI?:confused: Bed after Strictly results and up about 2.30/3am to drive to airport for our 6.45 flight. Probably won’t be about in the morning so hopefully see you all Tuesday.

Congrats again to the two Bs @Barrowman and Barbara @rebrascora for your HSs. Hat trick today?

Have a super Sunday all. 🙂
 
It's 11.5 was 7.3 at 3 o'clock this morning so had creeped up at bit but got a an appointment with my diabetic nurse tomorrow so can discuss things with them.
 
Good morning 5.9 today

have a super day everybody 😎
