Group 7-day waking average?

Hi all, was at 6.8 at 4am when I got up gor work today. I'm covering the girl who normally does the cash, so I've washed my hands loads today after handling all the money.
 
Morning all 🙂 it was a 4.9 at 6.30am but been out for a walk to try and keep fit 😱

@KARNAK I hope you are alright, take care, have a restful few days and remember that you're more likely to have a hypo following a nasty hypo. My legs are only just getting less wobbly today after my hypo on Sunday. Behave yourself as much as possible! 🙂😉

I hope things settle for you Amanda, diabetes is a relentless.........
Thank you Flower x
 
Did not test when I got up but got a 6.3 after I finished my breakfast. 10 mins after starting to eat, glucose was already heading into my system and getting to my fingertips, at least i assume so because not had a 6 on waking for ages.

Then off to hospital for brain scan and blood tests. Wanted so much blood for all the tests the neurologist called for, the poor doctor had to have three goes because veins kept on running out. One lot was for testing for mitochondrial disease so either the neuro is clutching at straws or thinks he is onto something. Will find out in the fulness of time.
 
6.6 today. Need to go back into work for a while as didn’t manage to get everything done yesterday. The surgery is like a ghost town, no patients allowed in unless they have been requested to by the GP/nurse, staff depleted and very strange atmosphere and yet busier than ever and the drs need us more than ever and yet I have to go and sit at home, feels so wrong.
Have a good day everyone x

It is not our Surgery but I noticed when we drove past the Surgery around the corner, that they had what appeared to be a table under a partial opened window. I wondered if the were using to to communicate and hand stuff out or receive things form patients.It is not a Dispensing Surgery so it would not be to give medications.
We were driving to go for a walk over the fields.
 
6.2 this morning. Been awake since 2am worrying about the impending lockdown in London.
 
Good morning 3.9 today. Yesterday was a bit frightening. I was in the campo walking my dogs when a young man on a motorcycle roared up to me, stopped and started to berate me, left me a bit shaken. I messaged an acquaintance of mine in the village - a fellow dog owner - and asked if there were any official rules about dog walking and she told me that I am not allowed to go far and only until the dogs have defecated and urinated. They can do that in my courtyard, it's lack of exercise that concerns me greatly.
 
good morning all well I've got a reading of 7.4 today so a little higher then normal for me in the morning
 
Morning

5.8 for me, applied for a contour next one meter the other week and that's been approved so I should have it within 28 days, also had to report a faulty sensor to Abbott, the chap I got was really nice and didnt have such a strong accent as the last customer service person I spoke to resulting in the phone call taking half the time than the last one, wouldve been less if I hadn't had to do a survey after it lol but sensor has been replaced and should be here within 5 days, I'll start my new one later today

Xx
 
Morning all
6.4 this morning.
Bit damp out, was hoping to work outside but that may be deferred...
Story of our lives at the moment.
Our church has closed currently so on-line worship this Sunday.

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning folks. :D 5.4 here.🙂

Friends in Swansea are celebrating the fact that their teenagers don’t have to do their GCSEs - apparently, it’s more stressful for mum n dad, so lots of popping corks last night!

((((Hugs)))) @KARNAK and @Flower. Hope you’re both feeling ok today.
 
Morning all 5.9 for me.

Day three of working from which so far has consisted of waiting for call backs from help desk to get my remote access sorted out.

The day will be what the day will be.
 
Morning all, 4.6 here. Should have been going to the Tutankhamun exhibition in London today, obviously it’s closed. It was supposed to be daughters Christmas present, but we didn’t go in Jan because of my broken ribs, didn’t go in Feb because of the constant storms....a lesson in catching opportunity by the forelock, I think.
 
Good morning folks . Woke to 5.0 at 04 00 with a good attempt at a flatfish , hopefully the much increased Basal has defeated the DF’s shenanigans.
for the time being lol

I hope you all h@ve a good day.
 
Morning all. A 6.8 on this crisp and frosty morning. Had a bit of lie in, wasn’t lying tossing and turning thinking about Covid 19 for a change. I’m starting to coming to terms with our enforced social distancing ( sort of). Did our final big shop yesterday, cleaned the trolly handles with baby wipes, and as we went very early, just after 7 am it was fairly quiet and, in the butchers at least, the shelves were fairly full. Got lots of meat, fish and vegetables. Had a batch cooking day yesterday which calmed me. Freezer is full and I compiled a menu right up to Sunday 19th April, which coincidentally is my 60th birthday. We’re in it for the long haul. Hope everyone else is coping. Take care and stay safe and for those in the capital, let’s hope it doesn’t come to lockdown.
