Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all. Can’t believe it’s end October. BG 18.1 for me
 
Morning all, 5.9 here. Off for my annual review this afternoon, and the HbA1c reveal ( we still can’t get our blood results on line). Should have been a month ago, but nurse is semi retired and is obviously getting massively behind. I booked it in September!😱
 
Morning everyone , 6.7 for me today . Not too happy about that . I thought I was getting it under control after a rotten summer ( BGs not sun ! ) however it appears not . I too had a Blue Riband last night Eggy so maybe that was it . I suspect its actually not enough exercise , I would rather sit and sew instead of pounding the streets so got to get my proverbial in gear and get out there more :(
 
Spookily a 6.5, same as yesterday! Does that mean I am getting the hang of this diabetes malarkey at last? Probably not! Happy Halloween everyone, hope there hasn’t been too many bumps in the night and may your day be spooktacular! 🙂
 
Hi,all - 5.0 for me. Enjoy the day!
 
Morning all, 5.9 here. Had my review yesterday. 'Your HbA1c is 8%' said the nurse brightly. 'Whaaaat?' I replied 'But it’s come down from 10% so that’s good' Then we established that she was looking at somebody else’s notes and mine was actually 6.5% ( 48, my nurse only does old money).
I didn’t know whether to be more shocked that she was telling me someone else’s results, or that she thought 8% was perfectly OK!😱
 
Happy November everyone. It’s our eldest neice’s 40th birthday today. Now that makes me feel really old! Anyways, I digress. 6.2 for me which I am very pleased with as I am coming down with a very rare cold, it’s rare for me to get one, the cold isn’t rare! Scratchy throat, deaf ears, sneezing. Oh joy! The last cold I remember having was at this exact time of year in 2010, we were flying off on holiday and I felt terrible and didn’t want to go. I had all my colds in my teens, 20s, 30s and 40s, one a month usually. I think that’s why I very rarely suffer from them. It’s gonna be a stinker isn’t it? :(
 
Good morning with an added pinch and a punch 🙂 It's a 6.1 for me .

Off to the retina clinic today for macula scans and to have bright lights shone in my eyes. I'd rather stick pins in myself......hang on a minute! 😉😱

Deep breath Flower and don't walk into any camouflaged road signs on the way out.
 
Morning all. 9.9 for me today. Got a few sweets left over from trick or treaters last night so I'm gonna drop them over to the boys opposite us. They did knock with their dad last night and they are good kids.
Good luck today flower.
 
Morning all.🙂 A 9.9 here - where did that come from?!:confused:

We were ready for the trick or treaters last night - I had some lovely white vampire fangs to put in for answering the door - but they were obviously all put off (or washed away😱) by the torrential rain and howling wind...what a shame. Beautiful sunshine this morning...🙄

My eldest niece was 37 a couple of weeks ago, I know the feeling! 😱 Especially now I have a 'Senior' railcard and my poo kit has just arrived through the post 😱 Oh, and I collected my prescription yesterday and realised I didn't have to tick the 'exemption' box! 😱 On the plus side I went out for a 3 mile run this morning just as the day was dawning, through some lovely country lanes, so it's not all bad 🙂

Hope you recover soon 🙂 I had a rare cold last week, caught, I suspect, from travelling on the London Tube at rush hour. It started on the train journey home and lasted about 4 days - a classic cold! 🙂
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I woke with 7.8. Not perfect, but who is? Never mind.

In other news, I watched Dark Heart last night. Very enjoyable, it makes a refreshing change from women being tortured and killed, it’s just men being tortured and killed. Why is this so unusual?:confused:

Anyway, it’s a lovely day, have a good one everyone🙂
