Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all. 4.7 and a touch of the 4 am insomnia again. My doctor said "oh lots of type 1s don't sleep" when I asked about it. I'll remind him of that when I'm rampaging through the surgery wielding an inflatable pitchfork courtesy of sleep psychosis. "Lots of type 1s don't sleep" jab, "lots of type 1s don't sleep" jab......😱

And lots of doctors don't think before they speak.😱

Old Boot face says: "Your LDL cholesterol is borderline high - it's probably just a lab error. We'll check again in October." A lab error?! Who's to say all my results aren't lab errors?! And October's 6 months away! (this was April)

Got a spare pitchfork, Kooky?

Morning all.🙂 9.6 here. All this birthday-partying is obviously far too exciting!😛
 
Morning folks, 5.8 this morning and a decent night of sleep. Hooray :D

Bloden (this iPad really wants to call you boldon!) the inflatable pitchfork is on its way to Spain right now, careful when you inflate it though it's substantial 😉
 
Morning all.🙂 6.2 here.😛

Can't wait to tell Dr Boots to "fork off!" - glad to hear you slept well, Kookycat. 😛

Nice waking figure you've got there 🙂. "Fork off" I likes it, I might use that one during my Stasi style interrogation with the GP diabetic nurse in a few weeks. Last time we had her insisting on giving me a diet sheet (1250 calories a day) despite me rocking a BMI of 19, attempts from her to tell me my 110/65 BP was too high, and a statin debacle because my cholesterol figure didn't matter (3.8) I'm diabetic and 41 so statins are recommended. Ooh she did not like my refusal to let her make me an appointment with a GP for statins...."fork off good woman, fork off". Tee hee. I dare you to bingo in "fork off" when you speak to Boots. Dare ya :D
 
Morning a round 5.0 for me today 🙂. Hoping for a bit of jolly sunshine!
 
Good morning 🙂 12.6 for me, no idea, my bg just kept rising through the night :confused:

I have jolly sunshine down here KookyC, I'll send it up 🙂
 
"bingo in fork off" - I don't understand, Kookycat. :confused: Is it the iPad or is it me?!

Morning all.🙂 7.8 at 6 am - hozzie appt at 8.30 had me up with the lark!😛

Thanks for the sunshine, Flower.🙂

Word Bingo, it's a popular game in my line of work, so you have to get a phrase in to a conversation without it being noticed. For example, I was once given "raspberry ripple" I'd been trying hard to work it into a conversation but I was in workshops with Americans from a very famous tech company. They kept saying "vanilla out of the box solution", so I said "come on chaps can't we have something more exciting than vanilla, what about raspberry ripple?". We have to have something to keep us amused, I talk about software and numbers all day :D

We had jolly rain, but it bounced nicely so that's a plus 🙂

OooOOooooh.🙂 A mate of mine used to play a similar game in meetings - he and his cronies'd put together a bingo sheet with naff exec~speak like "thinking outside the box" and cross them off as people used them. Not everyone was in on it, so they used to get funny looks when they shouted "Bingo!"
 
morning 5.8 today, had a very odd dream last night that someone captured the diabetes fairy and put her in a cage, it might have been related to Mad Max 2 because Tom Hardy was there looking delicious :D
 
Morning folks.🙂 5.5 for me. 😛
 
5.3 for me, so close to a house special. We are all a bunch of fives today!
 
Thats good! That's nearly in the fives, that counts!
 
I'm on the naughty step this morning with a 7.5. Must have been that dream of sleeping on a precarious balcony that pushed up the stress hormones 😱
 
Good morning folks 🙂 Apologies for not posting much lately, have been a bit under the weather. 6.9 for me today, putting me just the right side of 'normality' 😉

I wondered where you'd been, hope you're feeling better now and at least have a wee bit of sunshine to cheer things up 🙂

5.6 today for me 🙂
 
Apologies for not posting much lately, have been a bit under the weather.

Aw, hope you're better now, Northener.😱
