Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone! 5.6 today and nice and steady all overnight. Second attempt to get Covid Autumn booster this afternoon - fingers crossed! Hope everyone has a good day.
 
A bit happier as I’m making headway, at last! 🙂 Technically NOT waking as I’ve just eaten dinner & off to bed soon so, just as well I’ve got my doses more or less sorted, until of course when I wake & see what it is later?🙄 08:02 BS 6.4.

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉 It’s Sunday so, have an easy lazy day!:D

Got my BS down to 21:15 after Strictly last night before eating breakfast & ate lunch, a bit early as I was hungry, 00:28 BS 10.2 44NR & only got it wrong by 1 lot of 4 units of NR so, had the same dose again which worked out to be perfect as shown by my before dinner reading earlier where I went down -4, as usual for each meal as MY day goes along, 40NR 🙂

I’ll see where I’m at when I wake bearing in mind +2 Tresiba could start making a difference: I’m fine with the sleep/wake rise at the moment as getting the basal right will take care of that later; I want to get my BS under better cintrol when I’m awake, eating & in between meals & probably need tweaking NR a bit lower as increased tresiba takes effect! :confused:

It’s getting there & maybe both basal & bolus could be set for this winter JUST in time fir my postponed hospital review on 13/10/22? Just so I can tell the consultant also, find out my Hba1c! Ehish! 😱 Trembling in Fear emoji as I’m expecting it to be bad: just HOW bad?😱
 
5 this morning just getting organised to go pumpkin picking with my granddaughters 🙂
 
Morning all. A very close, but no cigar, 5.3.

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

Have a super Sunday all. 🙂
Well all I can do is post this.....

So close but not close enough. Very happy with that though as I knocked another unit off my evening Levemir which was clearly a good call. Happy just to settle for some consistency as I really struggle with that, so 3 days in a row is a major achievement for me even if it isn't a perfect score today. Clearly no BG upset from my vaccine yesterday and my arm is a bit less sore this morning.

@eggyg Hope you have a fab time and all flights etc go to plan. Look forward to hearing all about it when you get back, if not before.

@Lucyr So relieved for you. Really hope it is a permanent end to the headaches. Fingers crossed emoji.
 
Morning all. Woke to a 4.8 after waking earlier and scanning to find i'd been in the red for 2 hours!! No alarm had gone off and i was definitely wobbly trying to find my JBs (they are by my bed but i just couldn't find them in the dark).

Yesterday was a low day, needing lots of glucose to stop me being in the red, then a sudden spike before tea into the 12s before a gradual drop to the hypo. I was a bit low last week through the day so i might knock off half a unit from the basal and see what happens.

@eggyg have a good time.
@rebrascora so close to getting a triple!!! Well done though.
@Lucyr nice to hear you are feeling better.
@ColinUK get well soon.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning. 5.9 today. Sun shining, right arm slightly sore but left OK after double vaccine yesterday. Hope the robin who decided to hitch a lift in the car on the way to the vaccine centre has calmed down. He appeared, indignantly cheeping abuse, on the shelf by the windscreen: obviously didn't want to visit Llandysul. Quite a queue, so several friendly chats and a large hug from my nursery man, but well organised and only had a half hour wait. Came back to Taras attacking huge logs with chain saw, he helped me hang the new gate, then Alex turned up so we collected another 2 loads of timber (I drive they lift) which Taras got into whilst Alex and I got on with the workshop and finishing the yard railings. An excellent day despite me hobbling like an arthritic duck. Winter preparations well on the way now.
Have a good day everyone - I'm off to hang more shelves in the workshop.
 
Morning all. Presently sunny...

8.4 this morning after one of the most miserable nights in memory. Shoulders were painful and woke me every half hour or so. When I turned over I got cramp in my legs and had to stand up to relieve it, at which point the cool air made me want to visit the bathroom. Add to that the sneezing and snotting that went on all night... Feel sorry for Julian who was being constantly woken.

@ColinUK make sure it is just a cold and not Covid. I thought I had just a cold until I tested.

@Lucyr so pleased to hear you are feeling better. Hugs.



@eggyg hope you have a lovely time - where are you going? FWIW I brought back some special tartiflette cheese from France. I intend to make this delicious chicken tartiflette with it https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk...il&utm_term=0_578ae95f96-de0d84d055-302592589.

@rebrascora you’re doing really well, don’t knock it!

Oops! Completely forgot to say BS was 6.3 before eating breakfast at 21:15 last night! Only just noticed it now! Not asleep yet, obviously, & might as well hold off as long as possible to get as close to midday tresiba & THEN, sleep with no alarm interruptions! 😳🙄:rofl:😉

There must be a good bush telegraph in Wales as my sister-in-law visited the chapel she got married in nearly 50 years ago in Penboyr and the church warden who was tidying the church invited them in to look round but within days she had a call from one the people who lived at the farm near her parent's farm (Blaen Bran) who knew they had visited and grumbled they had not been to visit.
 
Morning all and 5.9 for me. Just been to the local co op and the shelves were nearly as empty as during lockdown.

Have a good day everyone.
No empty shelves in the French supermarkets we visited. We were surprised at the overwhelming amount of stuff on offer. Also the amazingly fresh vegetables.

@rebrascora you’re doing really well, don’t knock it!
That sounds delicious. I used Chaource cheese, far too ripe for me but I couldn’t get Reblouchon in Tesco. In the past I’ve used Camembert and Salut? Something like that, and it was perfectly acceptable. I always feel something is missing so that chicken version sounds just the ticket. I’ll be trying that.
We’re off to the Algarve, a bit of winter sunshine. It’s a place we’ve visited many times, we used to just go to relax but now we explore. Use the local buses and go inland and visit the local markets. Looking forward to getting some nice fresh fish this time as we’re going self catering instead of a hotel. We love the coast line and will walk for miles, as long as it’s not too hot.

Hope you feel better soon, it all sounds pretty rubbish. I sympathise with the shoulder situation, mine are useless especially my left one. I jarred it a few weeks ago closing the car door and I can barely reach up or outwards without pain. Might need another visit to osteopath for acupuncture, but in the meantime hoping a bit of warmth will help.

Maybe as pay day last week for many?
 
5.2 this morning for me :D

Been to church, then when I came home sorted through coats in the coat and bag cupboard. I found that an old raincoat fits me, so that will be getting washed and worn - can let one of my kids have the one I was using as they're about the size I was. No coats in the right size really for my other kid with jumper & jacket already on for school (the one they've been wearing is OK with just one layer under so too small really) so we're going to go on the hunt for a coat for them, and a couple more jumpers that are suitable for school, once I've picked up youngest from sleepover

I think I've used Brie in the past when Reblochon hasn't been available.

We love Tavira which is right on the eastern end of the Algarve. Last time (a year ago) we hired a car and went exploring inland which was fun. Had an especialy good lunch and wine tasting at Quinta da Tor where you could have a swim in their beautiful infinity pool. However it's in the middle of nowhere and probably not accessible by public transport. Hoping you'll have a brilliant time and looking forward to hearing about it.
