Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone🙂

I woke up this morning on 5.6. Well, that was first wake up. Second wake up after body said you’re going nowhere I was 8.0. Lovely washing line overnight, mind. Morning Levemir will normalise that.

I’m being educated at the moment. I’m reading Bill Bryson’s new book, The Human Body - A User’s Guide. It’s absolutely superb. An overview (and underview) of how everything works, what everything does, and why it does it, and all done in Bill Bryson’s typical style, very entertaining, and often awe stricken at just how our bodies do to keep alive. For example, 1 cubic mm of our frontal cortex can hold enough data equivalent to every movie that’s ever been made, including trailers. Can’t recommend it enough - Myths busted, shocking accounts of old, and not so old brain surgery. Prefrontal Lobotomy with an ice pick? That was the 1960s and 70s. Only in America.:confused:

Anyway, have a good day, you can all relax - looks like Brexit at Halloween is not happening unless Monomaniac Johnson decides to break the law.🙂
 
A new Bill Bryson, fab, that'll cheer me up a bit. 🙂

7.6 this morning I think. Can't be bothered to check though, wasn't even going to take it, I don't want to do anything apart from weed the garden.

On my reading list! 🙂 Sounds like a good book to complement 'The Incredible Unlikeliness of Being' by Alice Roberts - also excellent 🙂
 
Thanks for that Northie, have put my name down at the library but have had to buy the Bill Bryson as there were 19 reservations in front of me and I'm impatient. 🙂

I just find him unfunny and intensely irritating. Haynes manual for me as sits nicely along the Spitfire (aeroplane)and Vauxhall Cresta ones!
 
Hello folks

Been up all night following a burst of sorts from the flat upstairs, water everywhere. The bathroom and hall ceilings down.
Hall wallpaper hanging off walls, water coming through light fittings. God alone know what the floors will be like, the hall carpet is spongy.

Oh, 6.9

Really sorry to hear that. Get in a water extractor if you have not already. Water penetrates everything!
 
Good morning. Strange day yesterday, I was feeling a little uncomfortable in the morning, a strange pain from my right shoulder that increased as the day went on downwards, it was like trapped wind, but in the wrong place. My pre-dinner reading was 8 and the food was prepared and on the counter ready to be cooked but I was too unwell to eat. I just had a biscuit as I wanted to take a painkiller and didn't want to take it on an empty stomach. Went to bed just having my basal shot but woke at 3 am wringing wet. Had another biscuit and went back to sleep. Got up at 6 to a reading of 5. Feel a bit better now.
 
Morning all, its a 4.6 today.😉
 
Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.1 this morning

Cold this morning but I enjoy a morning chill on our doggy walk
 
Morning all. A shocking 8.7 today, it’s bad for my BGs eating late like the Italians. Up and out early today as going on the ferry up to Bellagio. Yesterday the heavens opened, we still went out of course, we’re English we’re used to the rain. Had a lovely walk along the lake before it got too bad, visited the Villa Olmo, which was beautiful and it was free to visit. Didn’t get on the funicular as the top was shrouded in mist and murk. Hopefully fit it in today as we’re off on our travels again tomorrow. Had a great day everyone. 🙂

Michael, I don’t want to concern you but a pain in the shoulder which radiates downwards may and I reiterate, may be a sign of a heart attack. Especially when you mentioned the trapped wind feeling, feeling unwell and the sweating. It could of course just be a trapped nerve but I would maybe try and speak to your GP for some reassurance ( for me as well as yourself). My husband has had a few heart attacks so I do have some experience with the symptoms. I am not a medical professional but a concerned friend.

Oh no Hazel how awful for you. I hope you can get back to a semblance of normality soon and everything replaced / repaired soon
(((HUG)))
 
Good morning folks. 7.2 on the Libre, that’ll be too many cashew nuts.

Hope you all have a good day.
