Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂 7.1 for me today. Been a bit poorly over the past few days :( Finally had my appointment about the hypothyroidism and have started the pills this morning, also sorted out my prescription items so I can order them in 4 weeks instead of 8 (for the past 10 years I've usually actually ordered every 6 weeks or so).

Good. Now you can start feeling normal again. You’ll be surprised at the difference. It’ll take a month to more for there to be a significant effect, though. Your BGs should start getting back to normal.🙂
 
8.3 for me. Out of sorts leat evening cause over corrected a hypo before tea time. Will have to remember a small snack between meals.

Had to send driving licence to dvla , they are sending back a three year licence, and they sent me all info re hypos and driving.ach well never mind.


Have a good day all and hope everyone are as well as can be
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

I woke on 10.2. Had a very disturbed night, but I’m not saying why.

The lift engineer got the lift working again last evening. It did come up on summons after he left, though I didn’t risk using it. This morning, it isn’t working properly. So I can’t use it.

More tedious phone calls then, today.

Can we start 2019 again, please?:D

Have a good day all, from Strangeways North.🙂

Glad you are getting this sorted. I felt like I was walking through treacle before starting thyroxine. 9 o’clock at night was my bedtime, and unfortunately worked night shift zzz

Glad to hear this, @Northerner!🙂 Get well soon!🙂 Missed you the last few days!😉
 
13:11 BS 7.5. Went back to sleep sometime after 05:47 when BS was 6.6 after the ham sandwich. Slipped back into sleep again after the midday alarm & next thing I know it’s just past 13:00: déjà vu!🙄:D Ah well, a matching bookend: 01:00 & 13:00 Levemir doses today!😱:D I have to get used to NOT having a headache upon waking again!🙄😛 Not quite up to eating yet, after ham sandwich at 01:00, so, usual half oatcake & half dose, 8 units, Novorapid to stop rise which is still double what it usually is at nearly 2mmol an hour. When at GP on Monday it rose from BS 8.4 at 08:35, while on the phone queue, to 13.4 at 11:48 when I got home again with nothing to eat, not enough time!🙄

But, the mountain has been climbed; the strains of “The Sound of Music” & “Climb Every Mountain”, anyone?:D Now, I can get started on getting things back to normal!😉
 
I’m in no mood to write this, but I managed to get out on the Dream Machine for some essential shopping this afternoon. Nearly ran over the lift engineer on the exit from the lift. I said to him, this had better be working when I get back. Flipping cold, so I knew the frozen peas wouldn’t defrost.

Got back, and I kid you not, the lift was taped up. Had to ring Mrs B to ferry the shopping upstairs. I followed behind, eventually.

This is the line in the sand, once the Trammies have worn off:confused:

Flamin' Enery, Mike, we can elevate men as far as the moon, but not up a block of flats!
 
It’s one floor, not exactly the Empire State Building. And the moonshots had less computing power than this lift. That’s probably the problem. I’ve never been, but I bet the Empire State has Otis lifts.
 
04:21 BS 6.0. Yippee! Pretty happy with that!:D Went to bed on BS 5.6 just after midnight Levemir at 00:34. After my usual hot bath before bed I was sweating profusely on both sides of my face again & was intrigued to find that not only could I feel the coolness on the left side but, it actually felt a smidge colder on that side! A quick test of digging my nails into both sides of my face & it felt a smidge sharper on the left as well! It’s as if all my massaging of that side, stimulation, has made the nerves go into overdrive now that I’ve fought off the Chicken Pox virus: cause of Bells Palsy is a reoccurrence of that virus in the passage behind the ear where there’s the least amount of space between where the facial nerves pass & the skull. People with narrow shaped heads at the ears don’t have enough space for swollen tissue, from the infection, & the facial nerves are forced against the skull: between a rock & a hard place! People with wide enough head shapes across their ears when they get that vral infection in that spot there’s enough space for the tissue to swell without impinging on the nerves.🙄

Nails test this morning & the nerves have almost calmed down on the left side & they feel almost the same!🙂

It’s SO NICE to wake up headache free!😛:D

A VERY good morning to you all! There’s a smidge of lightness already & it won’t take long before Spring brings back the sun in the early mornings!🙂 Have a WONDERFUL day!:D😎
 
8.9 which is amazing as on steroids for foreseeable future.
Saw lovely Dr at diabetic clinic and have strategies for ‘what ifs’ re impending cancer treatment changes.
Was shocked when he admitted to going home to eat an M&S microwave meal so finished consultation with me suggesting slow cooker and recipes that can cook low all day. He dutifully took notes and I’ll be checking when I see him again in 3 months :D
Hope everyone has a great day xx

Geebus wept. Surely there's a breach of contract somewhere. Lawyer up! And get some local bloodhound digging into whatever tarted-up poxy slumlord runs the thing.
 
Good morning folks🙂

I woke up on 8.2, which appears to be a peak in a ripply line in the green zone overnight. No panic.🙂

The lift is still taped up this morning. Got advice from my solicitor (brother), so I sent an email last night threatening a claim for damage to health, and a return of the service charge. He says that the threat of a court case usually sharpens minds in those companies with a reputation to be demolished. I’m waiting for a phone call this morning.😎

Still, things could be worse. I could be a Burton Albion supporter. Man City best them 9-0 in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal yesterday. :confused:

There’s always the second leg to pull things round, I suppose.:D

Have a good day, everyone. I’m going to have fun, for sure🙂
