Group 7-day waking average?

5.7 after 5's most of yesterday apart from a post breakfast spike of 9.0. Hey eggyg, one of the best things I have found with carb watching is that decent sausages have hardly any carbs.... yummy!!

You’re correct and I always have the best sausage in the world. Cumberland! All meat, yummy. Must admit I am stuffed now, after not having much appetite all week I think I have overindulged! It’ll keep me going until tea time though. 🙂
 
BS 7.8 with DP! Sigh!:( I’d be happy with that as my waking BS. But, pain takes its toll! My waking BS has been going up & down, snakes & ladders, with the shoulder pain!🙄 Get well soon, @eggyg 😉
I’m assuming and hoping it’s risen! Pain does take its toll, I feel for you @Lanny.
 
Good morning folks. Stay safe everyone.
It was 5.4 when I woke up earlier.
My new avatar is an old pic I found of Smokey my African grey that was stolen many years ago , he was 12 years old when the bs stole him, I’d had him since he was around a year old. He could be a little so and so at times , he ruled the roost and kept my two cats on their toes especially when they were having their grub , he used to waddle out , the very sight of him Approaching used to scare them off and they’d sit well away keeping a beady eye on him tails and paws well tucked in till he had had his fill.

drool , imo nothing beats a good Cumberland sausage or two especially when accompanied by some nice crispy smoked back bacon and a gently fried or poached egg and a mug of coffee, DROOL.
 
Ah,cumberland sausage. I was told that when, in the early19th century, Whitehaven was one of the busiest ports in Britain exporting wool, coal and iron ore from Cumbria, the merchants needed to find things to bring in in what would be otherwise empty ships. They hit on spices - high value, low volume - which could be imported and distributed across the country for minimal cost and maximum profit. So the highly spiced Cumberland sausage was developed around this trade, not for gastronomic reasons, but because you could hide some really dodgy meat in them. These days, a lot of the sausages that are sold as Cumbrian sausages are too bland and don't deserve to carry the name.

Good morning all. 9.1 for me, but overtreated a hypo before bed. Not a good food day yesterday as my timing at lunch time was muddled and tea time was strange. Bought 2 Cadbury Easter eggs to put in knitted chickens. One started winking at me with the “eat me” bubble above it. How good was
I, it’s still on table waiting it’s chicken

Have a nice day all

Aw, that must have been heartbreaking :( From speaking to @ukjohn about his Rosie, I know just how much character and intelligence these birds have {{{HUGS}}} I hope Karma has paid the thieves a visit and he made their lives intolerable 😱 😉
 
6.8 this morning. Yesterday I managed to stay in the 6s and 7s all day so hoping I can do the same today.
 
Good morning folks🙂

Didn’t have time to report yesterday, but that was a morning 6.8, so back to normal.

Anyway, had a lie in yesterday, then after a shave and shower went up the nearby restaurant with daughter and grandson. They went in the car, I went up in the wheelchair. Great grub. Slight disaster, though. I was indulging in a chilli prawn pizza, which was the best pizza I’ve had outside Naples. Wafer thin. Followed by a slice of delicious custard tart with a quenelle of plum sorbet.

Because of the slowness of everything, I currently bolus straight after eating, so pulling the pen out of my pocket, I tried to dial up a hefty whack to cover that indulgence. The disaster was there wasn’t enough left in the pen:confused:

So most of yesterday, apart from watching cricket and football, was chasing high BGs. Still, it’s only one day, so I’m not bothered, it’s just a pain in the arse. Did get back in range, and woke up on 8.2 having been in range all night. A final gift from a fully loaded liver:D

Lesson learned - always check your ammunition before going over the top🙂

Have a good day everyone - I’m doing nothing but watching footie, and eating sensibly🙂

I learnt THAT lesson last year on New Year’s Day pub lunch with a sister & BIL: ate a HUGE lunch & not enough insulin left in the pen!🙄

Bastards! Grrrr....

Dunno what I was this morning, too high no doubt. I just can't get a handle on this D lark. :(
 
06:26 BS 9.8.:( Up a bit from yesterday! The storm actually cleared away quite early in the morning & was gone by lunchtime! Then, lovely bright sunshine. Last night was very cold again, though! NOW which is better stormy weather that's a bit warmer or, dry cloud free nights that are cold?🙄 In terms of my pain management they're about the same!:( HOW I long for nice warmer weather! Sighing emoji!

Loved watching James Jordan finally, & firmly I think, top Wes on Dancing On Ice last night with 2 perfect scores of 40 performances!😛:D😎 I'm putting my money on James winning the final next week!🙄 Death In Paradise is over, for another year, & Dancing On Ice will be over next week: what'll I watch then?🙄

The long awaited, & delayed for a year for the author to finish writing his last book in the series, final season of Game of Thrones starts in April!🙂 It'll be on Sky Atlantic, I DON'T have sat TV, but, can watch on Now TV on the internet!😛 Aww!:D that TV show has done wonders for the NI tourist industry with coach loads visiting The Causeway Coast & doing GOT tours of filming locations!😱 I feel a bit sorry for the long suffering fans of the book series, though, as the author took SO long to write each book: serveral years so, fans had to refresh their memories by re-reading the last book when the new book came out!😱 I love watching each episode once, for the spectacle, but, even WATCHING the TV episodes more than once is a bit tedious!🙄 Winter is FINALLY here!😱🙄

Goodness, I'm VERY loquacious this morning!😱 I better wish you all a WONDERFUL day & leave you all in peace to have my breakfast: whew, has she finished gabbing yet?😉

I came to GOT late, so I bought all the books to date and read them, then bought a box set of all the available series (don't have Sky). Really enjoyed it all, although I have now forgotten a lot of what happened as this final book has dragged on so long! 😱 🙂
