Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning. 7 early morning then 9 when I got woken by phone at 0800.
Cold here and a bit grey. Have a good day all
 
Good morning, 9.8 - over here control! 😱

Congratulations on your lovely HS @Robin always good to see those 🙂

Braving the 'High Speed' 2 carriage rattly train to go and look after my Mum for a few days. Times are definitely hard when I'm the nurse! 🙄

Have the best week you can everyone 🙂
 
6.0 this morning. My lowest waking reading so far. I didn’t have a good night. Took a very long time to settle and kept waking up. Took a long time to get back to sleep each time. Yuk!

I love GOT. I have only watched the series though. I have the first three books but they look rather dainting!! I always find something else to read first. It took me years to finish reading LoTR. I had one book with al three instalments in one. Got to around half way through The Two Towers and was exhausted. I bought a box set with each book individually a few years later and it made it much easier to motivate myself to read them. They are wonderfully written books but the descriptive language is so full on that it takes pages to describe one minutes worth of information sometimes.
 
Good morning everybody🙂

I woke on approximately 5.4. I say that, because the Libre insisted I was 3.5, and had been in a nice straight line overnight. The giveaway was a sudden drop shortly after I became unconscious. I was sleeping on my left side, pressing on the sensor.:confused: So, I turned on to my back, Tee2 fingerpick said I was 6.5. Waited 15 minutes, Libre said I was 5.4.

That’s all very boring, of course, but I thought it worthy of comment as being an example of how you can fix a “hypo” by turning on to your back. New Libre users take note. 😎

Anyway, the howling wind has blown the clouds away, so it’s lovely and sunny now. Might nip down to the village to get a few supplies. Schools are back today round here, so timing is critical to avoid all the Range Rover Evoques.:confused:

By the way, I gave up on Game of Thrones because I’m at an age now when it’s risky to commit to a huge long TV series in case I miss the end. I’m certainly not reading the books, they are just big for bigness’ sake. A touch of editing wouldn’t do any harm. If you strip all the tedious battles and scenic descriptions out of War and Peace, you get a pretty good slim book.

Right, argument started, I’m off for a shower😉

Have a good day everyone🙂
 
Sorry late today, a very normal 6.4 this morning. Had a better night coughing wise. Up showered, dressed and breakfasted quite early as expecting my new dresser to be delivered between 9-11. Mr Eggy decided to go in the shower at 8.54, 8.55 knock on the door, my new dresser! So I had to deal with them manoeuvring the thing through our 300 year old cottage, banging into light fittings and getting round tight corners. We managed and it’s splendid, been polishing it and starting to fill it up with everything I have had packed away since October when we started our kitchen renovation. That’s it all finished barring a few snagging bits and pieces. Having a break as am knackered! Have a marvellous Monday everyone. 🙂
 
Afternoon all, I was at 9.4 this morning.
 
Afternoon all. 7.7 this morning, I'm pleased with that. 🙂
 
Honestly I couldn't tell you what I was this morning as I haven't been testing :( or taking my insulin :confused:. I'm not even going to mention the number that just showed up but i'm taking accountability now with a correction does (large one) and shall post in the morning hopefully something further away from where I am now (I didn't know it went that high to be honest)
 
06:12 BS 9.3. Down a little!🙄 Another cold night! Slept a little better!🙂

Pancake day, Shrove Tuesday today! You know, to most people, now in the modern world, it’s just an excuse to make & eat pancakes. Another one of those days on the calendar whose original meaning has been forgotten, or not known at all or, distorted! Originally Shrove Tuesday is to get rid of all the remaining eggs in the house before the start of 40 days of Lent, that’s ended by Easter: hence Easter Eggs; NOT chocolate but, gaily painted empty eggshells.🙄 Now, honestly, how many people do without eggs during Lent?😱

During my college years, 1988-1992, in the city of Derry in County Londonderry in Northern Ireland, a very religiously Irish catholic community. Woe betide anyone living there calling it Londonderry as that was a name imposed by the English!😱 A lot of people REALLY did abstain from SOMETHING even if it’s not eggs during Lent. They decided beforehand what they will abstain from, for example chocolate or biscuits, & had little money banks used as penalty boxes during Lent if you slipped up & had some said chocolate etc. Any money in the Trocaire Boxes were given to their local churches after Lent at Easter!.🙄

That was the only time in my life I’ve seen people actually observe Lent! Most people, & I have to say I’m one too, just use those two days, Shrove Tuesday & Easter Sunday, as an excuse to pig out & don’t abstain at all during Lent!😳 I realised that after my college years & don’t really do Pancake Day or Easter Eggs much, even before I became a diabetic.

Plus, my late mum started our own family tradition of having a boiled egg for breakfast on our Brithday. From the Hakka farming days in the New Territories of Hong Kong when eggs were rationed as there weren’t enough, from 2 chickens to go round 7 people: at the time; mum & 6 children!🙄 Mum never really got the whole chocolate Easter Egg thing as eggs meant something else entirely to her!🙄

Just a little something to think about from a different perspective!🙄

Have a wonderful day folks!😉
 
Woke early. 7.1 for me after overcorrecting a nasty 2.2 hypo after tea. Had waited too long to eat after insulin
Long walk today, so jb’s at the ready

Have a good day all

Just put that down to experience, @Carolg 😉 It’s a learning curve & quite an adjustment to make & you’ve not been on insulin for long! I’d been bolusing after meals for the 6 years on insulin & only started pre bolus for meals last year & it took me a while to get the timing right, for me, too: that’s the thing; finding what works for YOU!🙄

Thanks Lanny. I am usually good, but cought out chattering. Only 2nd time it’s happened after meals, and both times a bit of disbelief.
 
Good morning folks.
I hope all is well with everyone asbeen busy and not had a chance to read any posts this morning .
Woke to 3.9 a walk to the loo soon sorted that out :D.

Seeing new nurse today , I hope she doesn’t start on the you need more carbs etc and a look of shock at my two 3.9s last week and 1 today. With the other nurse , V, we understood each other she knew I didn’t believe in that Eatwell plate and I knew to let her know of any probs I’d let her know and ask for help.

I really hate seeing a new nurse as I’ve had some bad experiences with a few over the years.
