Group 7-day waking average?

Just to let you guys know I am still in the land of the living but not posting my readings as they have gone through the roof all weekend and I don't want to own them. It started Fri night when I accidentally gave myself 2 shots of basal insulin and then spent the night waking and testing and snacking. Other than that, apart from a ham roll (the first bread I have eaten for 8 weeks) and a piece of chocolate cake (also the fist cake in months) for which I bolussed on Sunday afternoon, I have been good with food but I am going through one of my intermittent phases of stress and I would guess that is the cause. Really don't know why I am stressed but it will pass when it is ready, as it always does. In the meantime I am taking it easy and hiding from the heat of the day. Hope you all are as well as you can be.

Thanks Martin. That is kind of you.
I find it helps to help others when you can't get your head straight to do anything else and also be reminded that there are lots of people in a much worse situation. I will be fine in a day or two again, I'm just trying not to dwell on the over inflated numbers that my BG meter is displaying as that has a tendency to stress me more. I am taking careful and appropriate action to try to bring them down with small corrective doses every now and then and snacking to try to kid my liver I don't need it's unhelpful input right now! Just annoyed that this will be having an impact on my next Hba1c reading. Hopefully a couple of short spells in the garden in between hiding from the sun will do some magic.

Half a night sleep. Awake till well after 2am snack so 9.1 this morning.
Had a lovely last day at work, with lots of nice pressies and best of all a huge card made by our customers we support. Brain mashed now ‍♀️

Lots of cuddles and good wishes and funny to see all the staff I interviewed when recruited over the years.
A wee bit apprehensive about no more work, but mostly happy happy

Had a lovely day today, gardening but now 2.7 so munching as I type.
 
5.5 for me!

I slept like a baby last night.
When I woke up this morning I was wearing a nappy!

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

Morning ladybirds, 6.2 for me today, funny weather here so far, a bit moist, not exactly raining more like the air is wet. I’m looking forward to my hair expanding into a large curly fluff ball the moment I step out of the door. It’s fine though I’m cool I’ll carry it with pride, at least until I get to my office which is essentially a sauna so the sweat that’ll be dripping off the end of my nose will sort that right out :D
 
I’m up at the crack today. Hot and sweaty night. A disappointing 7.2. Had a very late dinner last night. Almost 9 o’clock! At bedtime, which was 10.30, I was 7.7 but knew I still had a couple of hours insulin coursing around so had a snack, obviously too big a snack. It’s hard work this diabetes malarkey sometimes isn’t it? Rain expected today, so all you Greater Manchester folks can stop worrying about a hosepipe ban, because once the rain starts in Cumbria it doesn’t know when to stop! Have a wonderous Wednesday whatever your weather. 🙂
 
Morning all, a 7.8 for me today.
 
Good morning. 7.1 for me not a great sleep 2nd night running. Going to have to cut the coffee down. Not promising to be nice weather today, but enjoy it wherever you are.
