Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all and 5.3 for me.

Veggie haggis went down a treat with the neeps and carrot.

Today not much planned apart from ordering a few supplies, sensors and musical items. New sax mouthpiece to try out as well for gig next weekend.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, 6.2 here. Discovered why my bird count was so poor, @eggyg, I realised the new neighbours in the first floor flat that overlooks our garden were busy fitting a new kitchen, and had their windows open, so all the birds scarpered.

Good morning. I didn't do a corrective dose and went to be at 6.30 absolutely shattered. Just injected 15 units of Toujeo and woke up at 8.30 this morning wifh a reading of 2.4, still wheezing and sneezing.

Sounds like the Toujeo might be a bit too high then Michael :( I wonder if you're one of those people whose levels tend to drop when ill? I've encountered a few like that over the years on the forum. I hope you are feeling better very soon 🙂
 
Morning. A round 7. It’s Rabbie Burns fault! Did a daft thing yesterday, buoyed by my 11 mile walk on Wednesday we took ourselves off for a 6 mile hike to Tesco, did a bit shopping, filled my rucksack and ended up limping home. Haematoma decided to refill itself! Have now been banned by Mr Eggy from walking this week. It has gone down again and I feel fine this morning but I better had do as I’m told. Between myself, @Robin @Hazel and @SueEK we’ve a lot of aching bodies on the Forum! I’ll just pootle about for a few days and see how it goes. Have a smashing Sunday. 🙂

Fingers crossed for today. Yesterday our neighbour came out with his stepladders 15 minutes from the end of my “watch” and started a bit of home maintenance so the birds stayed away from the feeders near our back door but it didn’t disturb the ones on the feeder further up the garden thank goodness. I’m going to have another go today, see if Nutty comes and the long-tailed tits. 🙂

Ooh, Nooo! Hope it sorts itself out quickly. We do these mad things, I went out and pruned the roses on Friday, which probably set me back a couple of days, and I'm off riding in a mo! (I went last week as well, just had a walk and trot round on a safe plod, and wore my body protector, and will do the same today. Just to keep all the other muscles going).
 
Get up later and this is what happens - Snakes Alive - 5.5 🙂 I need to get up at 8 every morning. 5ams and 6-7 are no good for me.
 
5.8 this morning
 
Amazingly only a 7.2 for me today, had it been in the double figures I wouldn’t have been surprised, completely self-induced. I have just surfaced and feeling rough and shaky. Nights out with a group of 30 somethings is not good for me, I’m half dead. Managed to avoid ‘going clubbing’ I chickened out and hubby picked me up and was very happy to go to bed. Other than that had a lovely time.
@eggyg sorry to hear you have had a relapse, look after yourself. @Ditto look after yourself, we are here for you.
Happy to say all aches and pains are gone, even my knees are looking pretty normal again.
Have a nice day x

Is it birds you actually see in your garden, or birds you see from your garden? For example, I've seen two red kites flying above the garden, but there's no way they are going to actually land in it! 😱 🙂

Not forgetting my stupid foot :( Hope it recovers quickly @eggyg 🙂 I totally understand the urge to get out and the frustration of having to hold back :( I've hardly been anywhere since the end of November, and my foot doesn't actually feel any better despite trying everything that is recommended :(

They’ve got to land in your garden. We had a sparrowhawk do a flyover yesterday but it doesn’t count.

Sorry Alan, forgot you were one of the walking wounded too. It is so frustrating isn’t it? Whilst I was doing the 11 miles on Wednesday I started getting pain and limped back to the car, we were at the point of no return by then. Didn’t walk Thursday and Friday so thought I would be fine yesterday, what do I know eh? Have you tried walking poles? Or crutches? Would they take any of the pressure off? The joys of getting older, but hey, it’s better than the alternative! 😉
 
Good morning an expected high 12.3 15 units of Basal and 2 units of NR for correction, down to 5.2 at 08.30.🙂 For those who remember Baz he phoned me yesterday morning worried why I didn`t answer the phone on Friday, told him about the hypo incident which is why I didn`t respond. He told me not to cook any thing and he brought me a large bowl of stew about 3 days worth, plus other bits & pieces.🙂 Trying to keep levels higher for a few days especially overnight.

Sorry to hear about the hypo Ted, but you were in the right place for it to happen, and also maybe exercise their minds a bit when they see it happen in front of their eyes. I often get the impression that HCPs think (mostly to themselves, but it can come out in their tone) that we are just being negligent when it comes to hypos 🙄

I hope your levels have settled a bit now and you can have a few days, at least, without any repeat of those plummeting and recalcitrant levels {{{HUGS}}}

Thanks Alan I think they were shocked that it did happen in front of them, I think the DSN panicked the most but I think she got over it with a little help from me.:D Sorry your foot is still giving you grief.:(


I`ll let you know if the new figures work @rebrascora thanks for your concern.🙂

@Michael12421 I know you are not very well but that's quite a drop hope you have recovered.

Everyone who is having health issues from lumps to bumps and not feeling well {{{HUGS}}}.🙂

Stay safe folks enjoy your Sunday.🙂
 
Good morning folks, I have not read any posts on this thread yet will catch up later, so I hope al” is well with everyone.
