Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 8.5 here. Totally failed to bolus correctly last night, for a meal that included all sorts of slow release stuff, puff pastry, meat, green lentils to name but a few! ended up topping up with a biscuit mid evening, and doing a correction (and not a big enough one) at bedtime.
Good luck with the test, @Bloden !

Morning lovelies, 7.9 for me.

A question, if I normally have breakfast when I take my meds at 7am, what do I do about this waking up horribly early thing? Meds have to be taken then, with food, as they have to be taken 12 hours apart and a certain time before bedtime. Breakfast when I wake, then small protein laden snack with meds?

I am guessing that like me you often need your breakfast soon after getting up , in your case I would have a protein snack to take your meds.

Morning all.🙂 8.8 here...and that’s after a correction dose at 5a.m....who knows?!🙄

Final day of Welsh course. It’s been bendigedig! We’re having such a laugh we don’t realise we’re learning, hahaha. Test this morning. Prize: Easter egg / wy Pasg. Wish me luck!😛

Good luck.
 
Morning all. 7.1 for me today. Actually not too displeased with that as I decided to sort of have a ‘day off’ from being diabetic yesterday.

I had a pamper evening at my house with some close friends. It was gifted to me. I bought nibbles such as Pringles, cheese twists etc but also made carrot and pepper sticks to dip in houmous. I stuck largely to the veggies and dip but I did dip in to the Pringles a little bit on and off.

The evening was very good for the soul though and I went to sleep feeling quite content which doesn’t happen much these days. Grateful for lovely friends.

Have a great day all. My day is not going to be a lot of fun. We moved in January and last week discovered the built in wardrobe was full of mould. On my clothes, bags etc. People coming today to start sorting it. Shame because the house is beautiful but we think a leaky gutter outside may have caused it. Hopefully it will be fixed and the walls sealed to prevent it happening again.
 
A 7.5 this morning. Obviously I didn’t have a dodgy Levemir cartridge, just a dodgy pancreas! Might up basal by half tonight and see. A very still and mild morning but very dull, can’t see the mountains from my bedroom at all today. Supposed to brighten up later though. Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone. 🙂

Morning all and a splendidly dull 5.6 for me.

Today's battle is going to be seeing if I can find out what's happening with my Creon prescription.

Have a good day everyone.

Oh dear! I hope it gets sorted, I really couldn’t survive without my Creon ( or at least leave the house!).
 
Good morning folks🙂

I scored 3.8 this morning. All due to the curry problem, so I was a bit like Robin doing a late correction, which was out by a unit. Not bothered, that’s in DP range for Mr Liver to sort out. Apart from anything else, that’s a Libre score, and I can’t be arsed to do a bleed. Policy schedule, you see - this a is a slob day. :D

Bright day today, high cloud and we’re promised 20 degrees today, so it’ll be lunch on the balcony soaking up the rays, and getting stocked up on Vitamin D.🙂

Last night I watched a couple of David Attenborough’s new series on Netflix. I can see why the Beeb didn’t pick this one up, it’s quietly fierce, and deeply worrying. He doesn’t pull any punches, but the photography is beautiful. We are killing the planet and our government is doing nothing. Too many people are doing nothing. We won’t be going out with a bang, more a starving whimper. :confused:

Anyway, after that cheery thought, I’ll wish you a good day. Go down fighting:D
 
Good morning all, 13.2 for me this morning :(. As the words of a song once said “Things can only get better “ :D. Enjoy the rest of your day everyone 🙂
 
Good morning 8.8 on a very grey day,:( hopefully we will see some of that sun & heat that we have been promised.🙄 Off to Lidl`s today, just had a new one built that makes 3 within a 5 mile radius of me.🙂

Good luck @Bloden.🙂

Take care folks, enjoy your day.🙂

Totally agree about Our Planet. I love how it shows some of the success stories...then hits you with the horror and reality of what is happening to our planet!
 
Afternoon guys 🙂
was a finger prick 6.1 and 5.7 scan for me this morning
beautiful day here but rather than getting out for a nice walk with Bruce while he's off, he's winding me up sitting falling asleep :( xx
 
05:05 BS 5.3. 🙂

Yesterday was a lovely day of sunshine after 4 days of stormy weather!:D

The birds have just started singing outside my window & hopefully today will be sunshiny too!😉

An early good morning to you all!🙂

Tomorrow is Good Friday & the start of the Easter Weekend!😉

Easter of 2017 was one of the last times I had my sister staying with me & we roasted chicken for Easter Sunday lunch before she returned to Manchester. She was already feeling a bit poorly & I advised her to see her GP on returning home, not knowing she did & got her Cancer diagnosis shortly after in Sept. 2017. She didn't tell us until the following year when she was reaching the end of her life! She saw & experienced how hard hit our family were by mum's passing from Cancer in 2015. :( We snapped some pics in my kitchen & looking back at them is bittersweet. I'll be thinking of her this Easter weekend! :(🙄🙂
 
Morning folks.🙂 4.3 here.😛

I didn’t win the cwningen siocled (chocolate bunny) yesterday, boo hoo...🙄...must work harder!🙂 Had a fab three days, tho. Haven’t laughed so much in ages.:D

Good luck catching that creon (it is a fish, isnit?) @khskel.

Thinking of you this weekend @Lanny.
 
Hi everyone, 17.6 this morning thanks to industrial quantities of steroids to get me upright and functioning again.
Cancer has spread to my liver now so I have the Breast cancer full monty of secondaries in liver, lung, bones and brain.
Tough few weeks but back on my perch and grateful to be able to enjoy this lovely weather.
Hope you all have exciting things planned xx
