Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone 11.2 for me. Not much different from what it was before dinner so I'm keeping fingers crossed that the basal is stable (at least for the moment) and that I can now go to bed on slightly lower numbers. Yesterday was first day in two years that I have been alcohol free and first time taking amitriptylene.

Good morning all. Good news is 6.3 this morning. Bad news is, I'm in hospital. Evidently I broke my leg on Tuesday. I twisted my foot on Tuesday night. But didn't manage to get to the Dr until Wednesday. I guess I was hoping to get away with it. Well, I didn't get away with it. But it's a new hospital. And other than a cast up to mid thigh, it's going well. All things considered.
Silly Siadbh.
Bad Siadbh.

I hope you make a fast recovery.

It's a 4.3 for me again today with another dead flatfish overnight.

Realised yesterday that I had inadvertently lowered my breakfast ratio from 1:5g to 1:10g (same as lunch and dinner) and had been doing it now for 6 weeks 🙄😱. Been fine though so I'll keep at it:D

Yes. Physiotherapist and OT were here yesterday and helped me get into a wheelchair. They'll come by over the weekend to let me practice more, but I am going for discharge Monday. In patient transport!!

Luckily, when my mother died about 5 years ago, I inherited a wheelchair from her (that's t the lucky part, not my mother dying!) that allows the legs to elevate. So no Red Cross wheelchair.
But this bit is funny. Over the Christmas holidays, I told my husband we need to get rid of my mother's chair. And he was meant to be checking into where and how. Now it's lucky he was so slow organising the donation!
 
13.0 today. Oh dear. Went out for tea. Apart from glass of mega sweet wine for new year from my neighbor, fish and chips and peas AND bread and butter pudding with custard, soda water with slice lemon and lime, don’t know why my level was so high???. Answers on a postage stamp please.best thing I did was go to bed early and slept all night.

Good on him. Good luck for Monday
 
Good morning all 🙂 I present to you a super 5.2 House Special. Makes me smile!

Have a great time at the Lion King Stitch🙂

I hope you are soon home and recover well @SadhbhFiadh -from a fellow plaster cast wearer!

Have a good, fun meet up in Bristol with real diabetic people everyone who is going 🙂
 
Morning all! My meters stuck with another 6.0 today.🙂
 
A 6.1 for me after eventually managing to get back on here on my new phone. It kept saying it didn’t recognise me and locking me out! :(

Lots going on with people...nasty broken legs, shows, meet ups, misbehaving levels. I’m pulling the duvet back over and may just stay where it’s warm and there’s no chocolate!
 
Oh well yesterdays 4.3 🙂 might have been an exception as today back in the 7's with a 7.1 (
 
Good morning folks 🙂, where is everyone today? LOL
5.8 for me this morning
Hope you all have a nice day! :D x
