Group 7-day waking average?

Is it three days since your last reduction? Nothing worse than not sleeping, hope you can relax today and keep warm, is your heating on yet?! I am thinking of asking my lovely neighbour to go into my house and put my heating on as it will be freezing when I get back at 11 tonight. Have a fab day too! :D
Kid of started the reduction on Tuesday night so last night was my 3rd dose of it, yes we have had the heating on a few times during the days as its absolutely freezing! Haven't had a proper sleep this week and doubt I will tonight as rather looking forward to going Christmas shopping tomorrow afternoon 🙂, hope your neighbour puts your heating on for you! :D xx
 
Can’t believe it, opened curtains an white thick frost out. Hope your friend will put your heating on tonight NJ. Safe journey home
Thanks Carol and worrying how much ice will be on my car and no gloves with me, oh well. Can't wait to be in my own bed again. Have a good day and keep warm. :D
 
My sugars have been doing a great impression of my bank balance prior to pay day (dwindling fast ...which is good, bank balance not so good). Started the week with a 31.5 finished with a 4.9 ...work to do.

Have a nice Friday all!

So maybe it is working, will you wait and see what tomorrows reading is?
Stay warm and enjoy your shopping tomorrow. Even though I have been working hard I have no money for Christmas so will be last minute as usual!

That's an impressive drop! Well done for getting your levels back in range.
 
Thanks all.

A rubbish 9.0 this morning so no apparent reason, went to bed at 5.5. Was up a lot with my little boy tho as he’s struggling with coughing still so maybe all my hormones kicked in. Hey ho it’s still a single figure.

School/nursery run time now, have a great Friday all x

Will see how the rest of today goes, then see what I'm like tomorrow and then Sunday and make a final decision on whether to leave it as it is or what, I've saved a bit recently with not buying all the junk I used to so I feel rather good in a way and Bruce's mum takes us so we have to fit in with when she can manage to take us and it just seems to be the last weekend in November every year, then I will have to get them all wrapped, all our Christmas cards done and then all my granddad's cards done, that's my least favourite job! Haha xx
 
Good morning. I'm perished ::shivers:: not looking forward to waiting for buses.

Diabolical readings this morning; gutted. Was all gungho to start SlimFast after endless pigging out, but it's not to be.
7.1 @ 6.30am then a choc SlimFast shake for breakfast, an hour later 13.1 😱 Two and a quarter hours after that I plummeted to 5.7 so a rollercoaster. :(
 
I’m still on the morning highs (which don’t match my mood!) so a 7.8. Obviously a Dawn phenomenon kind of thing because I often drop even after a big breakfast.
I don’t like these high 7’s however but there’s got to be some advantage in remaining between 6-9 most of the time 😳
 
Good morning ~ hope everybody is well & BG's are being good for you 🙂 BG for me this morning was a very horrible & massive 20.5!!! It's now gone down to 14.5 before breakfast ~ the 20.5 was caused by a chinese takeaway at dinner yesterday ~ I ate chicken noodle soup (a clear soup) didn't include in the carb count / chips only ate approx 6 or 7 so didn't include with the carb count / chicken curry which again I didn't include with the carb count as I have no idea about carbs in this ~ I do have the carbs and cals app but don't know what to go to for this / fried rice which I did include with the carb count & bolused for

May I ask why you didn't include the soup or chips? The noodles in the soup would need to be counted and although I've never really had chips I imagine the carbs in 6 or 7 would still be enough to inject for? x
 
Happy Friday Friends! Geez didn't get to sleep until about 04.00am then slept til 12.38pm!! So my pm waking was 7.7 ~ I didn't eat ? chocolate mint ice-cream bites at 2am honestly I didn't!!😛🙄Take care folks and enjoy the rest of the day if you can x

Good plus they can be addictive so I believe, well some of them can be.
6C here tonight and forecast 4C tomorrow and that is very cold in this humidity.

Thanks Vince and yes they can be addictive particularly Codeine. Just checked garden temp gauge and its a Brrrrrr 5°C so I guess it would have been colder 1st thing this morning. Hopefully this cold spell will kill off any germs lurking about out there
 
Oh my goodness I'm pretty glad I've wasted my day waiting in as we had a dusting of snow at lunch time! LOL, @wirralass how are you feeling now? xxxx
