Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all 😉
Today it's a 4.3 😎
 
Morning all, 8.3 for me today. Christmas is now in full swing at work!
 
Good morning 🙂

6.5 for me this morning, another chilly one here as well but hey ho I'm in the house all day keeping a watchful eye on Bubbles every move, just to see if he goes to the toilet and can do anything today, fingers crossed but he's back to the vet at 5:10 tonight anyway 🙄

Hope you all have a far more exciting day ahead! :D
xx
 
Morning all you regulars on here. I'm still around and testing pre and post evening meal levels.
You won't believe it, but I've had 5.2 before dinner three days running.
I know that doesn't count. (Shakes fist at the enigmatic DF!) 🙄

Still my 7 day average is 4.9 before 6.3 after. So I must be doing something right.🙂

Onwards and downwards as we say.

Have a good day everyone.
Dez
 
Good morning -- a distinctly chilly one here and the rainy season is due to start in about 2 weeks. 4.9 for me.
Good morning Michael 🙂 Great number, let's have more like that please 😉 Very chilly here, my Libre was 'too low to show' (or too cold to behold' :D) after this morning's run 😱 🙂
 
Good morning peeps🙂

I woke up on 7.2, after a washing line on the trace last night, so DP included. No worries, all in range. An extra unit in the brekkie bolus. Big deal.🙄

I was woken at some uncivilised hour (8.15) by an automatic phone call from ParcelForce, who told me my parcel arrives today. That’s my replacement sensor which I phoned about on Monday, so for the second time Abbot’s 5-7 working days delivery time becomes 4. The phone call was otherwise incomprehensible, telling me what the tracking number was instead of enunciating the digits, it was read as a number, “Three million....”:confused: Not that I care. When I was a lad, it was always “Allow 28 days for delivery” when you ordered your X- Ray Specs from a comic.🙂

It’s a cloudy day here, with heavy rain predicted this evening, so it doesn’t matter. Not that I need to go out, so it’s a choice between killing dragons in Skyrim or villains in The Witcher 3. Life turns on such choices:D

That’s after I’ve depressed myself reading the papers, of course.😳

Have a good day, everyone🙂
 
Those are good numbers, Dez. And without meds. Diet and exercise is obviously paying off.

Martin
Thanks, Martin. It's actually paid off better than I'd expected. I've lost a bit more weight than I wanted.
So, at the moment I'm tinkering with upping my carbs a bit without affecting my levels too much.🙂

Just as a follow up to today's message, I got another call from ParcelForce saying they couldn't deliver because nobody was in.

Lie. I've been in all day.

The call said someone had left a note.

Lie.

If you could be bothered to trawl through older posts, this is the second time this has happened to me with Pacelforce, the only delivery firm in the UK who cant find me. Last time, I was told that it was and agency member of staff with a non-updated mapping device. In fact, no delivery vehicle has been anywhere near apart from the postman. I wouldn't care, but they didn't phone me to ask how to get here, they've got my number. Anyway, as ParcelForce don't allow you to ring them, I phoned the eternally helpful Abbott, who dutifully recorded my experience with ParcelFarce, and they are chasing things up from their side.

Anyway, I'm off to degrump with the 4.55 from Lingfield and half a pomegranate.
 
Never had a pomegranate, remember my school friend having one back in the day, she was there ages with a pin so I think of them as something exotic. 🙂 Mind you, I didn't eat a strawberry till I was 16 or steak neither and bacon and eggs was something the grown-ups, ie Dad, had as a treat. No wonder I have food issues. Weren't allowed Weetabix neither "because they use up all the milk." How times have changed, food is so cheap now and there's such a variety, you can have anything!

7.8 @ 10.17am as had a lie-in. Watched Dexter etc during the night then went back to bed.
 
@mikeyB I’ve had issues with delivery drivers this week too. Order from Amazon, received an email telling me I needed to give more of an address as they couldn’t locate. Bare in mind the household has had a lot of amazon deliveries over the last 2 years so I was scratching my head a bit. Rang them and asked the question why is it a problem now? Got a phone call at 715pm from local depot apologising and said they would be sending someone out. The poor driver rocked up at 10pm that night, it transpires the am driver couldn’t be arsed to google my address I should add we do live in the middle of nowhere but still no excuse
 
Morning all. Woken to a 4.9. Yay for bedtime insulin.

Early dating scan this morning and petrified they are going to give me bad news. Just a bundle of nerves.
 
Morning from sunny Tuscany, cool though but better than the rain we had yesterday. Had to blow off the cobwebs my jacket had gathered sitting in the car this last two and a half weeks! Anyways, back to business, 8.4! Pasta again yesterday! Steak ( on the BBQ) and salad tonight. So should be able to give you better results tomorrow. We were planning on doing lots of walking on this leg of our tour as we are surrounded but the Chianti hills but I have been bitten so badly by mosquitos I can’t risk it. Really fed up with it all now. Every single day there’s a new bite. This happens to me every time we’re away and I always end up on antibiotics when I get home but I’m nowhere near getting home so am self medicating with doubling my prophylactic penicillin. That and cortisone cream the local pharmacist gave me. Wondering about getting some antihistamines as well. Any thoughts? @mikeyB. Ciao for now. Have a fab Friday. 🙂
