Group 7-day waking average?

Morning hope all goes well Eggy and good to see you back posting Colin.
A 5.1 for me so very close and a virtual perfect trend overnight.
I did more walking yesterday not crazy but back to my levels of a few months ago and it has a big impact.I really do not want to adjust my 6u of basal as it is consistent but I have been going a little low as I have adjusted my bolus.
WFH yesterday and we had a handyman in doing some work so I had more routine.
I reduced my bolus to try and maintain my levels so had 4u for breakfast and lunch and only 3u for my evening meal despite having potatoes etc and I was 5.5 before going to bed.
I had a scone ( no bolus insulin) at 11pm and then a rise to 8 and a gentle decline overnight.
Anyway wet morning and a trip to the Wirral so see what it brings but much happier with BG control but no doubt it will come back to haunt me soon.
 
Good morning 4.5 today

Think best to have a banana before I drive
couldn’t face breakfast this time of the day but obviously need to raise levels to over 5
as need to drive (take my wife to work at 07:00) after I take her to work that’s when I usually eat.

Have a lovely day everybody 😎
 
Morning 5.7 for me.
2nd pond expert today to sort out filters and repair what the first one did lots of running about to do in the next couple of days which will keep me out of trouble.
Took my friend to her retinopathy laser treatment yesterday, sobering experience.
Stay safe everyone.
 
Morning all. 6.4 on the Libre.

Ych a fi, glaw mân! / Yuk, drizzle! July’s turning into a total washout. Off to get new car tyres this morning, and lunch out afterwards. There’s a veeeery nice cafe near the tyre place, and it’s reasonably-priced too - unheard of around these parts!

Don’t forget to let us know how it went @eggyg.
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.3

Its raining here again! However, a slight drizzle can be quite nice to walk in, but not the downpour we have right now (and the blustery autumnal wind)

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
A 4.7 for me this morning. 🙂 Dull and damp - can't believe it's the 2nd week of July. 😱

Good morning 6.0 - undeserved as ate 2 mars bars yesterday afternoon after going wobbly. No idea if high or low but they did fix it!

Pressure washed end wall of house and discovered small chip in render on corner. FIxed it but couldn't carry on with washing as mortar needed to go off so went house hunting. Nothing worth considering - lousy properties and lots of neighbours. Still the weather wasn't bad and I saw some lovely countryside. Today is forecast for a wet morning with overcast afternoon. Looks very grey outside currently and quite chilly. Tomorrow looks a little better. I draw the line at splash back from washer combined with deluge from the sky. July? Huh!

Got a couple of places to see so may do a quick drive by to cross them off the now very short list. One looks a possible - walking distance of village shop with 4 acres and stables. No sign of any gardening effort so potential for improvement. Price would allow me to pay off daughter's mortgage. Cancer + money worries not sensible as stress bad for immune system. Anyone know the numbers for Euro milions tonight?

Life is a bit of a bugger sometimes, isn't it?

Wishing everyone a good day of 5.2s and some sunshine.
 
@TinaD Something like this might suit after a Euromillions win maybe…
Stables, ménage, paddock etc. A perfectly manageable 950 acres…

Good moaning! Yet again abot 90 minutes sleep then Phantom Pain. Was ~6,0 two hours ago but now 11.3!

Rain running down kitchen window!

Good morning 2! The Pain Peaks are different as they often come down. I suspect the adrenaline causes a rise with little glucose involved unlikely a carby meal. Woke to a HS!

Still raining...

Morning all

5.8 this morning, only plans today are to go and see my mum. Will be walking home in the rain I am sure.

@eggyg - hope everything goes well for your daughter today.

@ColinUK - nice to see you back again.

@TinaD - just reading you posts make me feel tired, hope you are able to get this sorted so you can help your daughter and her children.
 
Morning All - 7.something this morning but I didn't concentrate. Raining today but we've had nice weather for the last several so can't complain - got loads of gardening done ahead of going up to Harris tomorrow and then coming back to a jungle in 2.5 weeks time! Taking my Mum down to Kendal for a hearing aid appointment in a bit. I've managed to scrape my TIR back up to 84 so very pleased with that. Have a good day everyone xxx
 
Morning all and 6.2 for me. Stotting it down with thunder and lightning promised for later. After Sunday's stroll down the prom at Blackpool a bit of a shock to the system. I'm sure there'll be another fine day this summer.

Have a good day everyone.
 
5.4 for me on a rather damp Berkshire morning, although it's not raining at the moment and we have a sky the colour of milk. According to the BBC it's barely going to be much different for most of the next fortnight. Hope Summer returns in time for our week in Cornwall next month.

Washing machine back in action by lunchtime yesterday. Yes, we have a Screwfix nearby @PattiEvans but my wife had already decided to get our plumber to replace the hose. Just as well as he noticed a leaking elbow joint under the sink so he replaced that while he was at it. Must have been leaking for a while judging by the rust on the metal tray under there.

You're right about mashed potato @MikeyBikey - GI is 83. Few things score higher than that, and congrats on your HS this morning.

Wish I had a pound for every time I heard my Gran say Ych a fi when I was growing up @Bloden

Tuesday, so swim before lunch and a trip to Sainsbury's at some point. In the meantime it's coffee and newspaper time.

Hope this lousy weather isn't spoiling anyone's plans for the day.
 
Morning everyone, back to normal with a happy 5.9 after my hospital appointment yesterday.

Have a good day everyone and stay well.

7.4 this morning, suspecting my UTI isn’t helping with BG levels at the moment. Saved myself a trip to the health centre as I did my own urine dip test which was positive for nitrites and leukocytes. The phone appointment with the nurse went well and she accepted my test results and prescribed some antibiotics which I’ve now started.

Bathroom decorating today and as it’s just ceiling and part of one wall plus door to paint it should hopefully not take too long.

Have a good day everyone.
