Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks!

6.1 for me this morning 🙂

Well we lost telly for a good while last night, pouring with rain, thunder & lightening but it still didn't cool down any 🙄 beautiful sunshine again this morning too and sweltering when I got up at 6

Hope you all have a lovely day! :D

Oh Michael, you do worry me with those waking lows! 😱 I hope you are manage to stay out of the heat and perhaps reducing your basal insulin during this hot spell! Take care 🙂

4.7 for me this morning. Off for my Sunday morning run and then a coffee with my running friends to discuss training plans and apps for our half marathon which is a first one for us all.

Enjoy your run! 🙂 I've just been for mine - was hot by the time I got back, but quite breezy here and cloudy, so not too bad 🙂 Exciting times for you all!
 
Morning all.🙂 4.4 / 4.2 on Libre / finger today.😛

Had a lovely walk on the Pembrokeshire coast path yesterday - luckily, it was overcast with a cool breeze. 😎:D

That's a pretty accurate sensor! 🙂 I go for my 'training course' on Wednesday to see if I'm allowed to have sensors on prescription 🙂 Perhaps I'll find out I was doing it all wrong when I was using them before! 😱 🙂
 
Morning all, 8.4 here, after a rather larger snack of cheese than I was intending last night (the knife slipped, honest!)
32 degrees at the beer festival yesterday, it’s a good job they’d laid on plenty of liquid refreshment! I cowered under an umbrella most of the time, but have a strange shaped small patch of sunburn on my foot where I missed with the suncream.
 
Good morning. 7.7 for me. Woke up to bright, breezy and dry day. Last night aged house alarm started wailing after a power cut. Eventually phoned a company who came in and the battery was split. He will give me a price to have a new system. Och well never mind. Have a good day all. I’m off to clean out food cupboards as did fridge and freezer yesterday

Have a lovely day all
 
Morning all. A very respectable 6.4 today. Had a hot, muggy and rainy day yesterday, bit brighter today but breezy. Off to see Jools Holland tonight, always a good show. It coincidentally is the second anniversary of our retirement today so something to celebrate. @Northerner enjoy your last day of being a wage slave, it’s the best thing we ever did. Live everyday as if it’s your last. We do! 🙂
 
5.4 today so it looks like the diabetes fairy has gone to plague somebody else. Cool, blustery and some black cloud round here. Not really had all this sweltering weather that people have been going on about over the last few days although the veg patch is beginning come to life at last so things must have got a bit warmer.

And Notherner, have a good retirement - I've retired twice so far. You have given your successor something to live up to. This really is a remarkably well run forum.
 
11:20 BS 8.2. Well, it’s to be expected after lying in bed since 9am trying to get more sleep! So, it took me a very long time to sleep last night as it was so sticky & hot! Then, it started to rain in the early hours & it was cooler: just had a wee shower hitting the windows that's just stopped now as I write this! 🙄 Is there a sweat dripping, sticky emoji? :D

I got my 20 minutes, JUST, in the sun yesterday soaking up my vitamin D, as @mikeyB would say: in the conservatory; boiling hot in there even with all doors open! 20 minutes was all I could take! 😱

So, here I am getting up, eventually, VERY late to wish you all a Good Morning, not much left of it, & a Wonderful Day. 😉

I’m off to make & eat brunch: stomach rumbles can’t be ignored anymore; definitely not going to get any more sleep with the giant eruptions of rumbles from my stomach! 😱:D🙄
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I had a terrible night. Expensive, too. Just after midnight, while watching Glastonbury, I got up for a call of nature, and tripped on the way. I was wearing a t shirt, but the cuff of my elbow crutch slid up my arm and ripped my sensor clean off. Ok, these things happen. Fitted a new sensor, fired it up with the reader and my phone. An hour later, my watch gave me an alert that the sensor was ready. So tested. But there was no sensor. No sign of it anywhere. It wasn’t where I’d applied it, for sure, and I’d religiously gone through the skin cleaning and drying, and post application pressure to make sure there were no air pockets. It was still applied ten minutes before the 60 minutes were up, because I checked. Couldn’t find it anywhere, in my clothing, on the chair, on the floor.:confused:😡

So, with a week to go on my original sensor, that’s about £72 down the pan. Fitted a new sensor, which is working perfectly.🙄

Guess who is phoning Abbott first thing tomorrow?:D I know I’ll get a replacement, but it it is a pest.

Anyway, I woke up at 10.45 on 5.0, after an in range line overnight, so that cheered me up. I’m easily pleased🙂

Have a good day, folks, I will. England are playing India today - a big game.

And remember, blips are just blips. It’s a quantum world, so I’ve just added Schroedingers sensor. :D
 
Wow! @Hazel How do you do it??? Congratulations again. Keep them coming. It gives us all hope that finite control is possible.

I made a mistake last night. Not sure what I was thinking yesterday but I bought a lamb shank in mint gravy and it must have been full of sugar and didn't realise until I was cooking it and read the label. I bought masses of other food yesterday and rejected many more items where the carb content was too high, so really don't know how this got through. Anyway it was 30g carbs plus 2 small jersey royal potatoes and cauli and broccoli, so I gave myself an additional unit to the 4 that I prebolussed by half an hour and still went into double figures before bed. I've been doing so well keeping myself in single figures the past few days with my regular testing experiment and early pre-bolussing, I am really cross that I blew it because I didn't check the label on this one item.... It was a lovely treat though.... lamb and mint is a real favourite. Yum!

Anyway, as a result I was still a bit on the high side this morning at 7.9 and gave myself a couple of units of NR despite having just yoghurt and raspberries for breakfast. Managed to come down to 5.7 but since wandered back up to 7.6. Heading out for a short run since there is a cooling breeze today and I didn't run yesterday.
 
Gee it was lay horizontal for me yesterday, but woke this morning with 6.3, I can't remember what happened last night after my head hit the pillow zzzzzz :D woke early this morning though, soo much cooler thank goodness although the sun has come out again and its steaming again. sure does make it difficult to do stuff.

I am thinking the heat and humidity of yesterday raised my BG. I sure hope I can keep mine in the 5s and 6s.
