Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 6.0 - at lest it is heading in the right direction again.

Chilly, grey and autumnal. Seems reasonable given the date. If that is summer gone then Lord knows what winter is going to be like.

Have a peaceful Sunday everyone.
 
Good morning, HS
was going to take a photo ,with white rabbits in the background
but by the time I used bathroom, got my got this IPad out
to take a photo to prove, unsurprisingly it had gone up to 5.8 :rofl:

millions of things to do for me today
including the dreaded claiming of expenses,I will resist temptation do respond to anything that pops up on work computer, when I log in to claim them, some ironing, clean car, catch up with some friends, poss watch some telly, and eat amongst other things, but right now relaxing in garden with a coffee

Glad you had a great time in Cornwall @Martin.A I have visions of you clearing hoards of slugs from your garden before hanging the washing out (I’m sure they missed you)


have a lovely Sunday everyone
TC 😎
 
Morning everyone, it’s another grey morning here but it’s a very happy 5.2 for me today, I haven’t had one of those in a long time.

Have a great day everyone and stay well.

Morning all. 7.2 on my last day off. Back to work tomorrow and i'm not looking forward to it. The kids are lovely and the people i work with are mainly great but the job just isn't what it used to be, with more pressure and expectations that are definitely not reflected in pay. Oh well, moan over, i shall enjoy today and start thinking about whether retirement is beckoning and can we afford it.

@Gwynn i think the new pastor is probably wanting to make changes to make the church his own but agree with @Wendal that sometimes, waiting and seeing what works best then changing the things that don't work is the right thing to do. Hopefully things will settle and you'll all be happy.

Have a lovely day everyone.

I’m already back in trousers
Mrs G had me shopping online yesterday, for a new electric blanket I haven’t yet found the one needed to match her exact requirements
 
Morning 7.6 for me
Rest day and its supposed to be heavy rain most of the day so no gardening. Life is about to get busy. Goodwood revival next weekend and the charity have been given a stand at the boat show for the 2 weeks after so it's crazy busy getting things prepared.
Take care everyone.
 
Morning

8.2 today, had a horrible hypo yesterday, which I do not understand given I had eaten a mini Bakewell tart about an hour before hand. Even after lots of exercise I have never been as low as a flat 3 before, double checked on the other hand just in case it was wrong, but the reason I checked in the first place was suddenly feeling ravenously hungry and incredibly weak and dizzy at the same time, and I was walking home from my knit and natter class at the time, so tested as soon as I got in about 10 mins after, do not know how I actually managed the last bit of the walk home, took me about 10 mins to do about a 4 min walk. I thought it would be high given the mini Bakewell tart.

I can finally say I am going on holiday this month, not until the 9th, but only 5 working days left.
 
Two things:

1. When the new rabbit and his wife arrived at my parent’s synagogue they decided to change everything. By doing so they upset the board, the caretaker, the congregation and most importantly the ladies guild.
What eventually happened was that publicly everyone agreed with whatever they wanted to do but did their own thing regardless.
Basically the Ladies Guild actually run the synagogue and they aren’t exactly fond of the ad hoc rule changes the rabbits wife suddenly decides upon.
So they just hide what they actually do behind her back and she marvels at how supportive and resourceful the ladies are.
Everyone’s happy!

2: On a personal note I wanted to share something. I’ve shared everything else here but I feel something (I think it’s shame) sharing this here.
This morning I took my first dose of mounjaro. Self funded. 2.5mg
I’ve asked repeatedly for the GP to refer/prescribe me and they won’t.
My BMI is basically 30 so I certainly qualify on that metric but the GP is intransigent about it.
So, after lots of research, I decided to self fund.
Hopefully the combo of the exercise I’m doing, the generally sensible (ish) food choices and the mounjaro will help me silence the food noise as well help me shift some subcutaneous fat.

I’m with the DN tomorrow having bloods drawn for Hba1c and I’ll mention to her that I’m self funding it.
 
Rabbi not rabbit!! Even though it’s the first of the month!

Good morning I finally made it home yesterday bot i am completely exhausted and slept for 15 hours was 7.8 this morning.
Having terrible trouble with sensors, in the last 2 days 4 were applied and each one dropped off in 6 to 8 hours. Does Abbott UK have an email address? If so can someone give it to me. or their telephone number? Thank you

@miguel81 I’m only new to using these things, but I think yes definitely call them, they sent me a free replacement, mine didn’t fall off, it was just showing a sign of possibly just not working properly, I think it was probably me but hey anyway, I am sure I called them on 0800 170 1177
or it looks like you can message them / request a call back via their website https://www.freestyle.abbott/uk-en/support/contact.html (if that link works) it might not
as I'm when it comes to technology I’m definitely dyslexic

@ColinUK I hope the Mounjaro gives the nudge you are looking for, sorry to hear your GP wasn’t willing to prescribe, as with BMI of 30 I’m thinking you should be eligible, but I guess as your diabetes is under a good control (due to your hard work and funding your CGM) he probably didn't want to tick the box
I’d say definitely raise this with the DSN tomorrow, also they know your taking MJ and it’s on your records
 
Good morning and a grey one it is! At least the sun came out yesterday afternoon for a brief spell and we were able to sit in the garden for a while with our friends.

6.2 this morning.

I have arthritis in my right knee. Last night it gave way at the top of the stairs and I fell head first down the whole 13 stairs. This morning my back is rather painful. I hope I can get an appointment with the chiropractor before we go on holiday next weekend.

Congrats to @goodybags on the HS also to @Barrowman
 
Good morning
@goodybags thank you so much
My second and stressed day at home and I am so exhausted and stressed out, I tried getting my house back to how i wanted it but even the sumplest jobs left me exhausied and I had to sit down every 10 minutes. I am not the crying type but yesterday I felt like it.
I went to bed at 9pm and was still awake at 3am. it was so hot. I woke to a 22, Stress must have had something to do with it. My physiotherapist told me that I had lost 60% of the use of my right shoulder arm and hand and it isn;t going to get any better. I am right handed. This isn't any sort of life.
 
5.4 this morning for me.

Been a bit absent on here for the past week as we have been busy with my wife’s sister staying, then grandchildren for their last week of the summer holidays with the week being rounded off with a day volunteering at Hatton Locks. Having a nice relaxing weekend though, visiting friends yesterday and just chilling at home today.

Congratulations to @goodybags and @Barrowman on your HS.

Got my regular phone call appointment with my DSN tomorrow afternoon, not been as good at entering insulin doses and carbs into the LibreLink app, but I feel I’m at the point where I sort of know what I’m doing and my TIR is 68% and an estimated HbA1c of 46, I know I could be better so I probably need to refocus.

Have a good day everyone.
