Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 5.3 on the Richter Scale.🙂 Out again today back to mates house for dinner, save me a job doing one handed grub.😎

Dear @merrymunky I do hope you get the help you need, take care and {{{Hugs}}}.

Enjoy the gig @khskel.🙂

Have a good day folks.🙂
 
Back from the urgent primary care unit at the hospital. As suspected I have a nice water infection. Never had one before that I can remember. So I’ve been walking around with this thing since at least last Sunday. There was some blood in my urine then but I was monitoring it for the day and it vanished, so I thought it would clear up on its own. The last week has been up and down but yesterday it came back with such a vengeance. The pain in my abdomen was really unpleasant. It felt rather like the contractions I experienced delivering Lumi in November, just in a slightly different location, with surges of pain right across the abdomen and on the right side particularly. Not sure where the pain went to this morning but glad it has gone. I just have that unbearable desperate urge for the loo constantly whether I need it or not and the inevitable burning when I do. Add to that tiredness with no sleep last night.

I was going to ask...since I know stress etc affects levels...is it possible that being poorly can increase levels? I woke up high today. My post breakfast reading was 8.9 and it’s pushed my seven day average up to 7.6 again after being 7.3 for the last fortnight. Not happy.

Pleased to hear that you have been seen. Yes the infection could have caused high levels, mine were in the high teens with my last urine infection.

Guten Morgen 4,6 für mich.

Currently on the S Bahn to the airport which is a shame as it's a glorious day here.

Did my good deed for the day and managed to help a little old lady get the right ticket from the machine.

It was a cracking gig last night especially as I hadn't played sax for more than ten years. Added bonus BS levels survived the experience.

Have a good day everyone.

The pain sounds like renal colic, which is horrific - if you get it again, specifically mention it, you might have a kidney stone brewing <voice of bitter experience> Hot water bottles help to some degree, as do codeine based painkillers.

Poor lamb ((((hugs))))
 
So glad you were seen @merrymunky, hopefully things will improve, a smile for you and hubby.🙂🙂
 
@merrymunky. It’s good to hear that you now know what ails you. I hope the Antibiotics that I presume you have been prescribed work quickly and that you feel much better soon.

Yes stress and illness of any kind often raise our BGs also Antibiotics can send our BGs up or down depending on which ones .

Morning all, 5.7 here. Got my eye screening this morning, for once it’s forecast to be dull and rainy, I'm sure it’s been bright and sunny for the last 12 years of screening!

Are you sure it's today and they haven't changed it after consulting the Met Office? 😱 🙂 Hope all goes well 🙂
 
Good morning on this dull Monday. A Len Goodman for me today...SEVEN!!!! The last free day before three days of grandchildren entertaining, we are even having all four staying over on Wednesday night! 😱 So off for a “ big” shop this morning, they never stop eating! Have a good day all. 🙂

The antibiotics seem to have kicked in quickly. I still had a nice headache all day but by last night, after only two tablets the main problem seemed to be easing. I’ve had a lovely long sleep and woken up on a 6.8 so more normal in that respect too.

I still don’t have much of an appetite so grazed rather than ate meals yesterday. My reading was 5.9 before ‘tea’ last night. Only my third ever reading in the 5s! Odd.

Thank you. Definitely on the mend.

Need to go shopping for some decent groceries today. Breakfast was 2 thin slices of Quorn deli and 2 satsumas. Went up to 9.3 on those alone! My meter average is all over the place at the moment.
 
Good morning 10.3o_O, figures were high all day yesterday.:( Hospital phoned this morning have to go to fracture clinic tomorrow morning for X-Ray.🙄

So glad you are feeling better @merrymunky🙂.Your figures will be a bit up and down while you are unwell, I`m taking more insulin since I broke my wrist.

Good luck with Eye Screening @Robin.🙂

Stay safe folks.🙂
