Group 7-day waking average?

8.9 @ 6.54am but I've been eating things like Millionaire's Cheesecake so I'm not surprised. Nobody, including me, can get it into their heads that I'm diabetic! 😱
 
7.0 for me. Good morning all
 
Morning all.🙂 6.4 on the Libre.😛

Lettuce for me today - stuffed myself all weekend. That’s the problem with family get-togethers...too much fun!:D
 
Morning all, 7.2 here. Woke around 4am feeling a bit hypo, couldn’t be bothered to wake up properly and head to the bathroom with test kit, so snaffled some fruit pastilles and went back to sleep. Probably didn't need quite so many FPs. I miss my Libre! I’m between sensors.
 
Good morning! No chance to test as woken by the postman with a parcel. Made coffee and a shake, then thought ‘opps’. A 5.7, so I’m guessing a little lower earlier.

Will probably stop testing, as I can’t see much point if I’m eating exactly the same thing at the same time every day, unless any of you think that’s daft?

If you're happy that your levels have settled at a good level then I think it's quite acceptable to just do the occasional 'confidence' test to ensure you remain on track, and also when trying something new to eat or if feeling ill 🙂

A pretty routine 7.0 for me. Still can't figure out yesterday's waking 19.0.

Probably just a duff test strip, it can happen from time to time. If I get a reading that is vastly out of range of expectations I'll normally do another test (making sure hands are clean etc. in case anything on them is skewing the reading) 🙂

Will do, thank you for the advice 🙂

How are you feeling now @Flower? Still a bit bruised, I imagine {{{gentle HUGS}}}

Thanks Northerner 🙂 I feel stiff and old and making that sort of groan each time I stand up and sit down but managed not to fall over since! 🙄

I have to go to the hospital tomorrow so I'm practising walking upright today, here's hoping 🙂
 
Good morning all🙂

Bit up and down overnight, and woke up 4.6, but I’ve got another cold starting. I’ll have to stop mixing in society.:confused:

Actually that’s not true, I just have to carry on building up my immunity to all the local viruses, so I’ve just got to put up with it for a wee while while I acclimatise.🙄

Anyway, today is a day of rest, paying for yesterday’s adventure. Most of my energy will be spent ordering a couple of bags of Lavatti Rosa coffee beans from Amazon. And maybe this afternoon I might go and pick up my insulin prescription. Priorities are a sod to sort out.:D

And Flower, walking upright is overrated. Supermarkets always put the branded stuff on lower shelves, and their own brand stuff at eye level. And you can avoid dog poo if you don’t gaze straight ahead. But best of luck at the hospital, let’s hope you can get back to comfortable double crutch heaven🙂

Talking of walking upright, after the footie yesterday, leaving the ground in my wheelchair I was plagued by lads walking along texting their mates. Playing Russian Roulette with me in my wheelchair. Good sport:D

Have a good day, everyone. It’s not raining, get some fresh air if you can find any🙂

I feel like that and I haven't fallen over! 😱 😉 Hope you are feeling more limber by tomorrow 🙂
