Group 7-day waking average?

I think it is helping. Over the past week it's been like someone has flicked a switch on in my brain, but I'm not sure how much that has to do with the thyroxine kicking in or the rapid approach of Spring 🙂 Probably a combination 🙂 I'm due a blood test soon to see what my levels are now 🙂

It’s funny when you suddenly become aware of an improvement. I had a positive thought about work the other day, (fleeting though it was) and could see a future instead of bleak nothingness.
 
I’M SO PLEASED for you @Carolg. 😛


Morning all.🙂 7.0 here.😛

Off to Spain tomorrow to tie up some more loose ends - it’ll be a busy week over there, but I’m sure we’ll find time for some fun, so not complaining.:D

Thanks Bloden. Good luck on your journey
 
Morning all, 7.9 here. Was 7.2 at bedtime and 5.8 at 3am, so not sure I can do anything about it, apart from bunging some bolus in as soon as I wake up, to neutralise the Dawn Effect.
 
Morning all, I'm back from my holiday. An 8.9 for me today.
@Bloden how was your pottery painting?
Only 6 and half weeks until I jet off again!

Morning all, think Monday’s stress held on until today. 7.2! Like you @Northerner the 5s are a dim and distant memory at the moment. The good news is we have had the parking charge cancelled, someone had a bit of common sense in the South Lakeside Council parking division, just need the shambles that run our local hospital car park to up their game. Been battling them since last June about a ticket I received unfairly. They have reduced the charge now but I’m still not paying, I’ve won anyways when they start doing that. Have a good day everyone, I’m going for a hair cut so of course the weather is atrocious, wet and windy, nevermind I’ve dusted off my flip flops for the weekend! 🙂

Oh lucky you, mind you the weather here may be competing with Spain this weekend! Have fun.
 
Really happy for you @Carolg thyroxine is a marvellous thing.

6.7 for me after a horrible night. Bedtime test was only 4.2 so had some toast before I went to bed, and spent the night doing the drink/pee thing. Still got a whacking headache from yesterday, and woke up to a message to say my Dad (not spoken to him for decades) has died, I hadn’t even been aware that he was diabetic but apparently so. I’d rather not have known, I do wish people would respect your wishes.

Terrible! :confused: Frankly, I felt like a right t**t, sitting there, aged 52, in a full cafe, painting a china chicken...and I haven’t finished yet, groan.😱 If hubby’d painted something too it wouldn’t have been so bad. 🙄 Moral: pottery painting is a group activity.😛

Hope you had a good holiday!😎
 
09:32 BS 8.6.🙂 Definitely headed in the right direction! Yet another stormy night but, was well patched. Oddly enough the heat patch this time wasn’t hot at all: just pleasantly warm! Maybe it was neuropathy that made it feel burning hot last time: on one side there’s a lack of feeling while on the other; extra sensitivity to heat & cold!😱🙄:confused: Slept better so, up earlier!🙂

Bright sunshine coming through my window & I woke to the lovely smell of beef casserole slow cooked overnight.😛

So, that’s all folks: breakfast is calling me!😉 Have a bright, bright, sunshiny day! As the song lyrics go!:D😎

Very sorry about your Dad Madeline but how come you don't want to know? I'd rather know if something is hereditary.

Afternoon all. My head is lifting. I thought I was doing so well, weight and tum measurement both down over three consecutive days so the low carb is working. Ran out of strips and they've just come in the post so I took it and I'm really shocked, bg a 10.0 😱

Dunno why that nurse was telling me they might take me off the register as she didn't think I was diabetic. Is she having a laugh? :(

I'm presuming it was the onions, I did have a very piggy but what I considered an Atkins breakfast. I'm kidding myself. 2 Sausages baked, 3 smaller red onions fried, 2 tomatoes fried, 2 eggs scrambled with a knob of utterly butterly in the microwave. I wasn't too full after, just felt good. No more piggy breakfasts. :( Thank goodness my head is easing off a bit, I thought I was gonna have a stroke. I'm such a hypochondriac.
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I had an “oops” night. Woke up on 9.2, all my own fault after a LO in the night, improving Maynard Basset’s profit margins. The “oops” bit was bolussing for something I didn’t eat - an ice cream after dinner, then forgot a snack before bed. Oh well, beginners error. Second childhood here we come:D

Bella the cat has to go to the Vets this afternoon. Son in law is popping down from Bowness to do that, then disappearing off again. So we’ll no doubt have to spend our time hiding medication in cat food. When we did that with our first dog, we’d find a gravy coated tablet fastidiously left in the dog bowl.🙄

Anyway, must dash. It’s beard trim day, so that comes before shaving. Residents meeting this afternoon, so must look smart and ready for action😎

Have a good day everyone, if you can’t get out, you can play MP party quitting Bingo to pass the time:D

It's much better done with friends. Even though you spend most of the time not talking to eachother! But it's also an excuse to go for lunch before or after!

Thank you lovely, I know it sounds callous but I’m just annoyed that I’ve been told when I’ve specifically said I don’t want to know.

A few years back, when Mrs B was still recovering from the brain haemorrhage, and not exactly loquacious, we got a phone call in the night to day her mother had died. I told Mrs B.

“Good” was her reply.

It’s not callous at all, it’s families. You can’t choose them.
