Group 7-day waking average?

9.6 for me, at least down a wee bit. Lovely here but looks cold out
 
Sorry to hear you’re still suffering sleepless nights, Wirralass.:( How are your sore ribs? (it was ribs, wasn’t it? Too early, brain no worky).

Morning all.🙂 6.7 here.😛
Thank you Bloden. Yes I bruised my ribs & injured my right shoulder ~ both still a tad painful but finding it easier to breathe now. Oh and my brain no worky at the best of times😱:D
 
Asda do thermal tshirt type tops and nice thermal socks.i am a definite thermal gal
I've been looking at thick tog socks on Amazon and may as well just get stuff from there as doing bits and bobs for Christmas and Bruce's birthday
Could you not buy a flask, heat up soup and have that for lunchxx just a thought
There's only certain soups I've tried and I wont be able to get any of it before then unfortunately xx
 
Good morning my lovelies 🙂, I'm fed up of being cold so later I will be on Amazon looking for a lovely fleece covered hot water bottle! Lol, 5.4 for me this morning and I'm away to get my phone on charge now, fear not I will be back on the laptop Lol, hope everyone has a lovely day :D xx
Kaylz you need to feed yourself good & proper 😛 to get some flesh on you then you wont feel the cold as much ~ but in the meantime a fleece covered hot water bottle will surfice til then plus your new fleece pj's that Bruce bought you:D xx

Morning all. A nice 5.7 here, so close to target here’s hoping tomorrow.

Have a little boy with croup so no sleep last night, today will be a long day!
I see your 5.7 has put you in a better frame of mind today grainger, nice one:D
Aw sorry to read your little laddie is poorly ~ anxious time for you to hear him croup. Here's something for him.....Samples of Get Well Messages That are Straight from the Heart.jpg
 
Morning all, 5.8 here, a tad chilly, will have to wrap up for riding later ( though I get really hot during the lesson, and we all gradually strip off, leaving our instructor to carry all our coats back up to the barn afterwards)

Boxes of chocs wouldn't be a bad thing 🙂, cd's would be as I don't have a cd player! Haha x
 
Get an hour of it in the afternoon but its not enough really, more worried about the 27th as I wont be able to get a hot lunch as had a letter through yesterday saying the electric will be off from 10-12 :( lol xxx

I thought you had sandwiches for lunch from your posts Kaylz? If both gas and electric are off, fill a flask as Carol suggests.
I have the opposite problem with this ‘burning blood syndrome’. It was probably no more than 5 degrees here through the night, we have no heating on, I can’t wear clothes to bed and I still need to splash cold water all over myself during the night! I’m like a walking radiator! 😱

You need a nice flask for your birthday so you can keep soup and coffee in 😛

Believe me, it’s no fun being hot all the time. I’ve seen me go out and stand barefoot in the snow and I’m not kidding! 😱 Obviously not now as a diabetic before I get warning letters! Lol

Gosh that bad Amigo:( in which case I'll borrow you to heat up my flat!:Dseriously tho it must be a nightmare for you especially during the summer months. I'm never going to complain again!🙄
 
I am a cold tattie probably due to thyroid being out of kilter just now and weight loss. I’ve definitely started to layer up and hate being cold. Started winter warmer meals, and making chilli tonight, after the scalding coffee I am drinking. Got my winter woolies out and gloves but no hat or scarf yet. Big knitted slippers, furry dressing gown, central heating, but do get in to a cold bed as I get warmer quicker... odd. Sorry amigo that you are such hot stuff amigo. Both extremes are rubbish
 
Good evening everybody ~ hope you've all had a great weekend 🙂 since Friday.....
Saturday no waking test 😡
Sunday 13.8
When are the high levels going to dissappear? The only time I'm getting in range levels now seems to be lunchtime then mixed at dinnertime then higher ie in the teens from bedtime to waking argghh!!! I even tested ketones earlier today & they were 0.1

I wish I could advise you Gill I really do but I'm Type2 and clueless when it comes to Type1 Humalog and Levemir:( I sincerely hope you can find a way to improve your levels, I can see its obviously a nightmare & headache for you, Good luck and take care x
 
Just saying Good Morning/Good nIght today
Running low on strips so didn't test this morning. Waiting for the delivery but it is running late because of the Onlline Shopping Day "Single Day' where they spent somthning like 17 billion pound in one day online.
Can you believe that?
So, consequently there are 1,000's of delivery guys running all over the place here.
They get paid by the delivery and use anything from Trucks to hand carts.
Last year a few of them died from exhaustion in during the aftermath of this annual spend fest.
So off to get my ALL-BRAN
Sweet Dreams everyone
