Group 7-day waking average?

Woke up to dead on 8. Just after I got into bed (at 7.30 this morning after night shift) I had a hypo, then was 5.5 (and probably still rising) when I went back to bed, so all things considered not actually too bad 🙂
 
Run outta strips. :( Annoying.

Hoping to go for my flu jab tomorrow...if I can stop sneezing long enough...still "full of it" as we say around here. Hope it'll be okay to have a flu jab. 🙄

I hope you can get the jab done @Ditto, I know they usually ask if you've had a recent infection, so you might get turned away :(

The receptionist wanted me to come last week when I told her all my symptoms she just asked if I had a temperature but I didn't know. I'm gonna go anyways and see. 🙂 My sisters had their jabs ages ago, I'm lagging.
 
Evening late posting had to make a trip into Gorleston for some shopping and have my hair done 7.4 for me this morning .

Well done on HS Kaylz


Went to Gregg's on the way for my hair appointment and for lunch I bought a hot sausage roll walked 4-5 steps out of the shop was just about to take a bite then felt a smack on the back of my head and my sausage roll was snatched out of my hand by a greedy seagull 😡 bag an all

Oh no! Frightening 😱
 
After yesterday morning's hypo today I was 11.1. Oh well I carb count, match the insulin, try not to stress. Can't do much more than that (ok I admit that when I got the pump I delegated carb counting to Mark who had never done it before but he's excellent:D) c'est la vie
Tonight I thought stuff it I'm having a good gastroparesis day so it's Chinese takeaway with a carbs guesstimate.....and the food was flipping delish! Results will be in tomorrow 🙂

Wow what a great day you have planned, enjoy every minute of it hun! :D x
 
Well it's Good Morning from me and Good Night to you .
At 5.12am I was 4.5
Today I am off to interiew recently graduated students for potential employment at a job fair for 2 days.
Should be an interesting experience agan if I can get through some of the fake qualifications, CV's and total over statements of their achievements and abilities.
I will not mention the pushy families extolling the "virtues" of their darling offspring who are sittting with their heads stuck in their mobile phones watching some mornic online video while Mom, Pop, Grandmas, Grandpas, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Nephews et al get angry when you refuse to accept the little treasures for paid employment.
"How dare you not give my 'little emperor' a job"
These kids are 23 years old by the way.
Oh the Joys
Have a good day everyone.

Hehe! Have fun Vince! 😱 🙂

Good morning 🙂 5.8 for me today 🙂
 
Good morning all, 4,2 and on my way to Lisbon. Like Vince I will also be working with young people, but mine will be from different parts of the world who have had a difficult start, crom South Sudan, East Timor, Iraq and more. I expect it will be a wonderful inspiring experience. I do feel tired and have a cold but will sleep on the plane!
Have a great weekend everyone.
