Group 7-day waking average?

I suffer from “ bad” shoulders and have tried EVERYTHING! Heat, cold, heat and then cold, acupuncture, TENS machine, deep tissue massage, Chinese wood oil, I smelt like a Christmas tree! Osteopath and Tramodol. But the only thing that helped was the cortisone injection my consultant gave me, it was incredibly painful and I nearly passed out but after two days the relief was just amazing. I hope you find the same relief because I know how incredibly painful and debilitating it can be. Good luck.

I had cortisol injection years ago in shoulder. It was a bit sore, but later it felt like I had had a wrist block, which was painful wearing off. Never had a lot of bother since, thank goodness

Thanks Alan although the DSN thinks its lower than She would like.🙄

It may not be as accurate as she thinks, as the results can be affected by anaemia - might be worth pointing this out to her. Usually when they say that it's because they are concerned it is low due to too many hypos, and find it hard to accept someone might actually be managing their levels well 🙄
 
@KARNAK , I was just about to say the same as Northener re anaemia affecting Hb1ac levels.
 
Good morning folks. A pre comfort break too close to the knuckle 4.2 With a slanted down arrow a few minutes ago , and a 3.9 on the finger just now , oh how I love :( Coke or juice at this time in the morning. I would rather have a nice mug of coffee.
Hope you all h@ve a good day
 
05:20 BS 5.9.🙂 Haven’t been in the 5’s in some time! It was nice to have a night that wasn’t stormy & my shoulder wasn’t too bad! It still really hurt to put my hair up though, yesterday & I forced myself to do some extra physio exercises, despite the pain, as I don’t want to lose any further movement! REALLY hurt at the time & I was grunting in pain: the Williams’ sisters playing tennis!😱 But, the resulting lack of pain, after the initial pain of course, was VERY worth it! I’ll just have to grit my teeth & do more exercises when I’m stiffer. Incidentally pain REALLY does raise blood sugars! I tested just before exercises & BS was 8.8. Tested just after & BS was 12.7, nearly an increase of 4mmol.🙄

Resulted in a pretty good night of sleep & a good score just in the the 5’s I haven’t had in some time!:D

It’s still dark outside so, can’t tell what kind of day it will be yet! But, I’m feeling sunny on the inside!:D Sometimes it amazes me “What a difference a day makes, 24 little hours”, as sung by The Temptations!🙄

Have a wonderful, easy, lazy Sunday everyone!😉

Oh, that’s not a nice way to wake up! You could try putting in sugar in your coffee. A few times when I was out of coke, before getting a stash of jelly babies I now have, I put 2 teaspoons of sugar in a cup of tea. I find that 1 teaspoon is not enough for hypos!
 
7.3 this morning for me.
 
Good morning. 8.1 for me. Foggy this morning after a lovely day yesterday.
 
Morning. A 6.4 today. Also foggy here first thing, clearing up now and looks set to be a glorious Spring day. Won’t be doing much as we have both started with a cold, those pesky grandchildren! They’re banned! Have a great day and hope the sun is shinning where you are. 🙂
 
Good morning folks🙂

Bit misty this morning, but bright sunshine now. Woke on 4.8 today. That’s a Libre reading, so I'm claiming a virtual HS.:D

Late reporting because of (a) a lie in and (b) watching Match of the Day on the iPad. Two important reasons for sure. I’m turning being a slob into an art form. Im also trying to avoid interacting with son in law, who is a Burnley supporter, so I’ve turned the phone to silent, hate being gloated at. As well as ending sentences with a preposition🙄

Right, I’m off for a shave and shower, then it’s lunch on the balcony again. Fancy a lump of Brie with well buttered Ryvita today. Slow carbs for a slow me🙂

Anyway, have a good day everyone. Go get a Vit D fix🙂
 
Good afternoon been waiting for my piece of string internet to reconnect all morning- an 8.8 to kick off this sunny Sunday now the mist has disappeared.

I'm in the optimistically named 'Fastershire' area waiting for a better internet connection .... due to be improved by the end of 2019 - we'll see! I'll miss that little buffering sign one day 😉

Have a lovely day all 🙂
 
Afternoon all. I'm never going to see 5s again. Getting nicely down though when I fell off the wagon. 8.8 this morning, 9.08 yesterday. :(
