Group 7-day waking average?

Housey-housey
Yesssss 5.2 today. 🙂

Have a great day everybody.

Dez
 
Good morning everyone. Libre said LO but finger prick said 4.4. The Libre has been this inaccurate for the last two sensors. It claims that I’ve spent 16% of my time hypo whilst my finger prick says no hypos.
 
A much improved 6.1 this morning, but feel awful, total body aches, low body temperature, dizzy head, throat feels tight, so think I have some kind of lurgy, so that might account for some of the higher the last few days.

Anyway now on SRmetformin so will see how my tummy holds up.

@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats on your HS.

@Kaylz I hope things calm down for you.
 
Morning all, 8.3 for me today. Cold almost fully gone now and levels returning back to normal (for me anyway). Hoping the weather improves for my walk on Sunday. But only 4 weeks until my holiday.
 
Disappointing 9.5 from me this morning and don't really understand why. I have started using my steroid inhaler again but not sure if that can raise levels the same as oral steroids.

@MeeTooTeeTwo
Congrats Dez on your House Special
 
5.7 again. I'm definitely in the fives a lot. Is that "normal" range? I've not been 5.2 yet though, so maybe I need to meditate a bit more before testing 🙂
That is perfect to be in the 5s, wish I could be :(:(
 
Good day folks 9.8 this morning laundry all done,🙂 clouds are getting brighter.🙄 Went to the bank yesterday to sort a few things out, on the way to the exit went ass over tip, smashed nose dislocated little right finger.:D Welcome to 2020 I thought we could leave that all behind in the new year,😡 must admit I felt a bit wobbly on the way to the bank. Paramedics arrived😳 managed to stop my conk bleeding although the finger took a bit of force to straighten out, they checked my BGL`s which was in reason 10.2 I wouldn't go to the hospital didn't think my suite would be ready. Strapped the finger up I apologised to a worried staff offered to pay to clean the blood up but they said no,😎 managed to get home checked BGL`s 15.8😱 done a correction dose using the last figures the DSN gave me 1:3 units of NR usually 1:2.

It didn`t reduce it enough so back to the original equation, no grub for the rest of the day only water,:( thanks for listening folks you know I luv you all.🙂

@SueEK thanks for your kind words seems like you are going through grief yourself, hope things work out for you.xxx & {{{HUGS}}}
I see @eggyg & @Robin are feeling better.🙂

How you doing @Kaylz and Bubbles, sorry about Bruce having a turn I shan`t mention darts.🙄

Going back over posts Barbara @rebrascora I see you have had grief also, thinking of you and thankyou for your support on the forum.🙂

Oh Ted! Whatever next! Take care of yourself, and I hope you’re not feeling too bashed up.
 
5.4 this morning. Wondering what it’d take to get down into the 4’s but quite satisfied with 5.4 🙂
Colin the 4s aren't so good, they can get you in false hypos (although the ones I have had my BG has been 5.3 when tested). I just did my BGs and they are 4.8 and I feel a bit weak, I had a whole string of fasting levels at 4.9 and thought that was good and was a bit disappointed when they rose over 5. But actually I tend to be feeling fitter (well) when they are in the 5s. Of course a lot has to do with a body that was used to 17+.
I would be happy with where you're at - your levels are always looking good as far as I can see.

A 5.0 for me this morning and LOTS of frost on the car!
 
@KARNAK I do worry about you, tempted to come down and wrap you in cotton wool and take care of you!

We are ok thanks, I'm still a little stressed and Bubbles still on his meds for the urine infection but I'm sure we'll all get there in the end 🙄
xx
 
@KARNAK
Oh no, Ted! I really thought you had things cracked (didn't expect it to be literally) and you had turned a corner with your issues. Your BG readings have been so much better recently. Obviously not the cause of today's accident....but not sure if that is a good thing or not. Would be nice to think you were just eyeing up a very smart woman (or man.... depending upon your preference) and missed your step or perhaps the money your withdrew was so heavy it unbalanced you??? I am still cringing at your description of them relocating your finger.... Ouch!
I'm with @Kaylz. I think we both need a trip down to the south coast to come and molly coddle you.
Please take better care of yourself and don't worry about me. I just had a day or two of dietary weakness. The sun shone today and the sky was as blue and blue and my bees were flying and my chucks have started laying eggs again so all is right with the world .... at least until the weekend when we have a young lady called Ciara coming to visit.... Arrgh, I hate storms!

Hope you aren't too sore tomorrow but sounds like you will be.

I've been that stressed and wrapped up in other things that I didn't even know about this until tonight when SSEN text my mum in case we have power problems etc cause we're obviously on the priority list xx

Assume you meant, get well Ted, (@KARNAK ) he’s the one who face-planted yesterday!
 
Oh blimey Ted, what on earth are we going to do with you. Everyone will be shutting up shop when they see you coming.
Hope you recover very quickly, no lifting that pinkie when having your cup of tea and look after your little nose. Take care now or we will all descend on you and sort you out 🙂 x
 
This morning, 6th Feb, it was 5.6.
