Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks
A horrible 8.3 this morning all my own fault too :( I had a few to many
delicious Lebkuchen

06:11 BS 7.6. Umm!:( Possibly something to do with an after dinner hypo last night? Haven’t had a hypo in a while.🙄

Decided to have a seafood curry & rice & had WAY too much bolus. Knew I was hypoing 80 minutes later & tested. Before dinner 13:39 BS 7.7, after 15:06 BS 3.8, it felt lower by the way my heart was racing! Frist chance to try out jelly babies that all you lot use! Thanks to someone, sorry can’t remember who at this precise moment, posting about the berry mix bags without the green, orange & yellow jelly babies that I don’t like! The black, red & pink are ok but, sickeningly sweet, especially when hypo, but, it means that I won’t be eating them & only using them for hypos.🙄

In which case, as I’ve learnt, my brain changes the taste of things anyway. It was actually easier to use jelly babies as I juat had 2, followed by 3 or 4 nice biscuits: drinking fizzy coke can bloat me & be problematic for very low prolonged hypos!🙄

Actually, TBH I lost count of how many biscuits & REALLY had to use my will power to stop! My heart was racing that fast, the blood pounding in my ears & my brain screaming at me to EAT! Tested after the 4 hour mark to see what the damage was after all those biscuits: 17:51 BS 6.4. Wow! Was surprised it wasn’t higher & went to bed! Hadn’t had a hypo in a while & I was exhausted! Oh! Just remembered! Midnight Levemir was an hour late: alarm woke me but, was very groggy & next thing I knew it was 1am before I sat up in bed to inject!😳

A VERY cold day & night as it started snowing at lunchtime & it continued. But, the ground was still very wet from the previous few days of stormy, wet weather. So, it wasn’t until the evening that the snow laid on the ground! Not a very thick layer on the ground but, much more drifts of snow on the hedges, trees & rooftops. Absolutely HAD to turn the electric heater on in my bedroom as, even under many layers, the duvet & hot water bottle the air was so cold it set off my asthma! It’s a problem I have now with asthma making a comeback, since childhood, when the air temperature drops below a certain point it dosen’t matter how wrapped up & warm my body is, the cold air I breathe in sets off an asthma attack. Needs must! I can worry about adding more to the electrics bill & paying it off later!:(

Crikey!😳I’m very loquacious again this morning!😉 Must get on to bolus & have some breakfast! Wrap up warm folks & I wish you all some bright sunshine to keep you warm on the inside!:D😎

I like reading “ gruesome” but not so keen on watching! Have watched Homes under the Hammer, where’s Lucy? Wanted: Down Under and now onto Caught Red Handed! What a load of c**p but haven’t the energy or inclination to turn over. I’m not good at doing nothing.:(

Better watch out eggyg ..you might get sucked in to geremy Kyle lol
 
7.8 for me. Creeping up a bit. Dentist at 0930 and car and road white yuk.
Stay warm and safe everyone
 
Morning all. 4.7 here. Had one of those weird Schrodingers hypos at bedtime yesterday where you test, find out you’re 3.7, treat it, and then start to get hypo symptoms. Must have tested just as i started to drift below cut off level.
 
Morning all. Hope you’re not all snowed in. Up early as I have a hair appointment. A 6.7 today. Back, hip, thigh etc etc feeling a lot better, going to attempt to drive myself into town. It’s only 15 minutes. It’s the sitting in the hairdresser chair for 2 solid hours I’m more concerned about! Cumbria hasn’t faired too well on the snow front, daughter number 1 has loads and kids schools closed, us lot in the city have frost! We’re in a valley you see. Have a great day all, and @KARNAK try and behave yourself today! 🙂
 
7.6 for me too. No snow here, it’s rained overnight for which I am very grateful as the boiler decided to die yesterday and I’m struggling to find someone to sort out - needs new control panel according to the error message.

Oh No!:( Hope it gets sorted out for you soon! At least it's not the weekend, when getting workmen in to fix things can be difficult & expensive: Sod's Law saying that's when things tend to go wrong; at the most difficult time!🙄😱

I hope you have a hot water bottle &, failing that, drinking hot tea, or other hot drink, will warm you from the inside. Then wrapping up warm will help to keep that internal heat in!🙄
 
Morning all.🙂 7.2 here.😛

Just back from dropping grrrls off at kennels - of course the kennels are in the middle of nowhere down country lanes...managed to skid on ice just the once...phew! 🙄

Keep safe ev1. The pavements look LETHAL.😱🙂
 
Morning all. An 8.0 for me today. Work up with a chesty cough. Glad I'm not in work today.
 
Good morning team 🙂

Woke this morning with 8.2, probably due to an overenthusiatic correction of of a 2.4 in the middle of the night. Never mind🙂

Light dusting of snow this morning, but shouldn’t stop me popping up to the local shop to pay the paper bill. I’ll use the big scooter, electric wheelchairs are too light. And nobody ever grits the pavements. Not to worry, it’s only winter.

Anyway, in what is probably the most futile gesture ever, Mrs May will go off to Brussels to renegotiate the Backstop. The EU say this is non negotiable, and anyway, she’s already signed the agreement. This is setting up a scenario where all the Brexiteers can blame the EU for the ensuing chaos. And they will.🙄

Talking of futile gestures, I’m off for a shave and shower to smarten myself up.:confused:

Have a good day everyone, and do take care.🙂
 
Good morning 3.0 at 0500, two Gluco tabs three jelly babies back up to 6.7.🙂 No snow or ice about but maybe tomorrow because I have to go to Torbay Hospital.:(

Oh heck.
Hopefully you are your fully recovered now, though I guess you must have some spectacular bruising. I trust the carpet cleaner can shift the stain.

Thanks @Ljc, nice shiner split nose bruises all over but carpet can be cleaned.:D

Sorry about your boiler @Madeline what a bummer.:(

Keep warm & safe everyone.🙂

Good morning folks. I behaved myself last night 🙂Woke to 5.3

Hope you all have a good day. Wrap up warm
 
It’s a cold one folks, -6 showing on my outside temperature gauge. 6.8 for me this morning. I’m nothing if not consistent! Stay warm everyone, and safe. 🙂
