Group 7-day waking average?

Ehh! I'm learning more about my BS in the early hours! 06:01 BS 8.2. 07:42 BS 9.7. It's like my body thought it was still asleep, earlier when up & eating but, later in the morning the dawn phenomen has kicked in again.

That explains why the 2nd. time I went hypo, dental trip, I was waiting for a change of buses at a station & routinely checked. A lower than 4 figure surprised me so, I had a tea with milk & sugar from a vending machine! Then, later on my BS went up to over 13! I only had tea! 😱 :confused:

Clearly after checking twice, to make sure, the morning rise is happening now! So, I had another 4 units & half an oatcake to stop further rise! Definitely DON'T want to eat again!

The DF can throw some curveballs! 🙄
 
Good morning, 6.1 and heading to London later, can only imagine the heat in the tube!
Have a good day everyone.
Sit near the doors if you can ..at least you'll get a blast of air when the doors open...enjoy your trip.
 
Morning...was up at 5am...tested & got a 6.3...then remembered how bad I was last night...at dinner (not saying what I ate)… again before bed when I attacked a packet of mini Oreos...which almost disappeared...went back to bed after breakfast...slept for another two hours...so counting myself lucky this morning.
 
Misty here this morning Carol and a lttle dull. It should brighten up later I hope.
Scorching hot here already Vince...did think about a trip down to London this morning...not in this heat...will be hiding from the sun today.
 
Morning folks
Horrible night with the heat and pain in my hip, really battered it off the worktop yesterday morning and even though there's no mark it feels very bruised inside :(
6.5 for me this morning :(
Hope all you lovelies have a great day :D xx

Ouch, hope it feels better soon, you have a great day too
 
Thanks and good plan. I will miss rush hour if I can and will take lots of water too
You have to have a plan for the tube in London...good luck.

Ouch! I have yet to learn to do things slowly & bash myself on furniture & wall corners all the time! If a bruise does show up, arnica gel is very good for that!

Ouch...it may take a while for the bruise to appear K...likely to have a whopper...put some arnica on it if you have any...those cupboards & worktops are mean...stubbed my top on the cupboard the other morning...split the nail right down the centre...waiting for it to fall off...so I do sympathise.

I'm not sure if supermarkets would have it. The best bet would be a Health Food Shop, like Hollands & Barretts & the like! As it's a natural herbal remedy that's good for bruising! Although I have seen tea tree oil & aloe vera gels becoming available now at tesco! Oh, worth mentioning, be careful after application to wash hands well as arnica when ingested can speed up the heart & cause problems!

Haha trying to find a health food shop near here would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack!! lol, checked Tesco online apparently they have it a £3.50 a tube!! 😱 xx
 
Being diabetic for so long & being slow to heal there are a few herbal staples that help healing I always have:- Tea tree oil as a natural antibiotic; aloe vera for burns & the like, propolis gel or cream, for healing open wounds & arnica for bruising! Yes, it can be expensive but, I can take a VERY long time to heal without them!
