Group 7-day waking average?

She is very active on Twitter too.
while I do have a Twitter account I don't think I've used it since Scotland's favourite weatherman Sean Batty was in my town switching the Christmas lights on and that was back in 2013 😱 xx
 
4.8 this morning. 🙂
Managed to get a home delivery slot from Sainsbo's for today. :D
It'll be interesting to see how much of the order arrives. 🙄

Stay safe everyone.

Meant to add I don't know how other couriers are handling deliveries but Royal Mail have adopted a no touch policy for delivering parcels, they will knock on the door, step away until you answer and sign the pad for you, just in case you guys didn't know xx
 
5.4 this morning, Not good but I am pleased that I am not the only one who has become anxious, and @eggyg agree it is the middle of the night when my anxieties seem to get me, I picked the wrong time to come off my antidepressants, I might have to start them again and then wean off again. I am sitting here now with my chest hurting, feeling dizzy due to anxiety. Thankfully we are now working from home.

I can tell you the food distribution centres are working overtime to supply the shops, no food shortages, just morons who have panic bought. I know this because my hubby works in a food distribution warehouse, and is being asked to work 12 hr shifts instead of 8 hrs shifts to keep the shops stocked. Tesco my daughter works at have had to stop opening 24hrs to be able to restock without staff being attacked. In a worst case senario, I can see food n the distribution centre, food in the stock room of supermarkets, but no staff prepared to work in store customer facing for fear of being attack. And before any asks hubby is not able to bring food home, so we are still in the same position as everyone else, in fact they have stepped up security of staff leaving at the end of shifts.

So in essence we don't have a shortage of stuff we have a shortage of common sense.

There are some very active Diabetic Communities on there.
 
5.4 this morning - best result I have had in a while.
Can't think that I did anything different except that we ran out of milk, so I drank herbal teas.
Not sure that I can sustain that one though, as I do really love my 'cuppas'. Maybe I'll try and reduce them a bit though.
 
Morning all, 10.4 which I'll happily take. I had one of the worst hypos I've had for years yesterday not helped by my sensor reading 2 mmol too high - that makes a world of difference when I was 2 not 4. Feeling like a washed out rag doll. Lovely to see a beautiful morning 🙂

Morning all, a 9.1 for me today.
I'm back in the UK, but only just!!! Lanzarote was on lock down from yesterday. We wasn't allowed to leave our hotel during the day, unless going to the airport. They're trying to get as many tourists off the island. I got to attempt to go shopping today!!
Glad you're safely home Stitch, I did think about you when all the flights were being cancelled. Phew 🙂

Great HS work Amanda 🙂

Sorry to hear about your nasty hypo Flower. Hope you bounce back today.
 
Thanks Mike 🙂It really frightened me I can’t remember all of it. Ah well, new day, new sensor, off I go. 🙂

Ugh! Those ones are awful. They used to really shake me up for a few days :(

Thankfully I’ve not had one like that for a while, but they are really rotten when they happen. Any idea what caused it?
 
@Flower you and Ted don't do hypo's by half, you either plod along nicely or really go for it, think we'll have to set a club together where we all just look after each other lol, cant say I've had any as bad as that but I'd certainly be able to help, take it easy today my lovely! xx

I may dig out my log in details if I can find them and have a look at some point xx
 
Any idea what caused it?
I was moving furniture with my leg in a cast (very energy sapping and very stupid!) and did a lot of hobbling around the house having a Spring clean. I did run a temporary basal rate but my bg fell like a stone. I don't have hypo awareness so didn't know I was that low, just felt drunk/tired so checked and I was 2.0 with active insulin still floating around. 😱

Thanks @Kaylz 🙂 going for a gentle walk in the sun avoiding people and door handles etc 🙂
 
Good morning reduced overnight Basal by 3 units 😳 10.8, NR adjustment plus daytime Basal 5.8.🙂 Glorious morning 17.C outside on the wall stat 23.C in the apartment,😎 apartment management team have been disinfecting the whole area including the lifts and every door to each apartment, things are a changing.🙄

Congratulations on HS @AJLang & @Anitram.🙂

Take care Flower hypo`s not nice when they really hit you 2 is very naughty as we both know {{{HUGS}.

@Flower you and Ted don't do hypo's by half, you either plod along nicely or really go for it,
Thanks @Kaylz I bet you want to know the secret now?:D

Great to see you back home and safe stitch.🙂

Enjoy the sun folks hope you have a great day, take care. 🙂
 
G'day cobbers. 8.0 @ 5.56am self-inflicted after rubbish food yesterday. Chugged home from the flat today leaning on my Sholley which I can hardly walk without. This has to stop. I need to get as fit as I can, why am I making myself suffer just because I want to pig out. 50 years of pigging out, what's wrong with me? Agh. Actually it's more like 56 years but let's not split hairs. I used to rush home from primary school to get my blue beaker, make milky tea with three sugars and two toasts, enjoyed before starting to clean up. Comfort food from ten, I was doomed from the off. Poor me poor me pour me a drink except don't my liver's knackered. :D

It is often difficult to change a lifetime of habits.
 
Mum's just been given a box of Roses for her birthday, I intended diving in at the first opportunity but now I won't. I'm being ridiculous. I need to make sure I come on here first, reading the forum does help.
