Group 7-day waking average?

Good afternoon all 🙂

Like lots of folk this morning, I woke up on 6.0, which is something of a miracle. (I'm including 5.8-to 6.5 )Went stonkingly hypo before bed - 2.7. I think that may be due to the unusual physical effort of fixing the curtains (and changing a lightbulb). So after a Ryvita smeared with butter and Jam, and a Wagon Wheel, I had the sense to set the alarm for 5am to correct the correction, got that right and here I am🙂

"6.0" ish covers a multitude of sins, for sure.

All that is for any Newbies who look at this thread and wonder how we old pros seem to glide through life with perfect waking numbers.

Right, that's enough of giving away trade secrets. Again, like a lot of folk, I'm awaiting a grocery delivery. Sometime between 2.00 and 10.00. That's the trouble with us priority customers, fixed hour slots aren't included. Mind, Tesco always ring with an approximate arrival time once they've sorted the afternoon shift. All for £2. Every little helps.:D

Anyway, I think I might get a bit of fresh air this afternoon. It's nice and sunny, So I think I may wrap up warm and sit on the balcony and read the papers. Wonder if there'll be any coronavirus news today?

Stay safe, and don't forget to wash your hands after unpacking the shopping. And don't forget to tip the driver, they get paid peanuts. Or, if you're short on money, give 'em more peanuts.

Mike, the Asda give specified 1 hr slots with free delivery for us ‘shielders’. Quite often don’t have some of the products ordered however so you have to keep checking they haven’t removed essentials.
 
Not been able to get a Tesco delivery yet Mike but Sainsburys were very good.

I’m impressed that the prescription I ordered yesterday by phone from my surgery has just been dropped off by an NHS volunteer. They organised it all.
 
4.4 for me this morning. 🙂
Stay a lert everybody.

Morning all,
A 5.7 for me today...
Feeling pretty positive today on happy Friday, but for those who aren't...

well good morning gang it's a 6.0 reading for me today
 
Morning all and a 4.9 for me this morning.
 
Another 7.1 for me today. Nothing exciting planned today but have to take the car down for it’s MOT which I suddenly realised has run out - oops. Thankfully was able to get it booked in.
Have a good day everyone, stay home, stay alert, be a lert, don’t be a lert - whatever - just stay safe x
 
Morning all. 🙂 5.9 here.😛

Looking a bit grey out there.
My French cousin was back at school yesterday (she’s a primary teacher) - she said the kids had to put their hands on their heads while they moved around the school, to stop them from touching each other, poor things. They must be terrified. Let’s hope they thought it was a game.:(:D
 
Morning all. Over ten for two mornings running. I don't like that, no idea what's going on. Can exercise make it high? I'm working a lot in the garden. Have a good day all.
 
Morning

Well replacement Libre sensor finally showed up yesterday, its been sat in the local ParcelForce depot for at least 2 days mind, also received a delivery of some one shot concentrates from a friend from the mixing group I admin

Kingsmill bread wasn’t too bad and not sure whether I should just stick with it as its more readily available in town than the Hovis, we’ll see, not sure if Lidl do Kingsmill as well but shall get Bruce to check when he’s in on Saturday, would ask my mum but she moans if I ask her to pick me up a loaf as she’s enough shopping apparently, not that a loaf is that heavy! Not that when me & bruce were going out with a backpack and collecting stuff for her along with my own stuff! Anyway rant over for the day, sorry it'll be my 10th week of being stuck in with my mum come Tuesday and I don't know how much more I can take

Anyways 6.5 for me this morning, tis where it was when I went to bed with a digestive biscuit on board last night after a half unit correction with dinner that did basically nothing (was it because I dialled up the extra half unit while the needle was in my leg as I forgot when I was dialling it up before insertion lol) and then some sort of correction with tea that nudged it down nicely

Stay safe folks
xx
 
5.3 this morning, after a couple of hypos in the night.
Back to a ‘normal’ basal rate today, until it needs to change again.

A weaving day today, which just means that I will contact all those that I would normally be weaving with today. It is a good way of keeping track of what day it is! Out for a socially distanced walk with a friend this afternoon, to take her mind off a forthcoming op she has on Wednesday. Glad that we have sunshine again.

Have a good day all
 
Morning all it’s a 9.0, I had a scary 2.3 hypo that side swiped me at 10pm unfortunately my sensor had expired and I was waiting to start a new one so I didn’t see it coming. My diabetes seems to have gone a bit mad at present.

I hope things are going as well as possible out there. 🙂
 
6.8 this morning which is payback for the bread I had yesterday but it’s still OK.
