Group 7-day waking average?

I have eaten 3 chocolate digestive biscuits and am waiting for them to kick in. Strange, I only had an egg mayonnaise sandwich last night but it was quite a substantial one and I didn't inject a great deal of NR. It was sultry yesterday and very thundery and was not at all hungry, I never have much of an appetite anyway.

Morning all. I’m up at the crack again. A disappointing 7 which I’m putting down to DP as I went to bed on a very nice 6.5. Another glorious day. Staying home today as after my first venture to the shops on Tuesday I’ve come down with a cold! How the heck did that happen? Never set foot in a shop since 18th March and steered clear of humans, except Mr Eggy of course, so a bit concerning as if I can catch a cold so quickly what else could I catch? Could my immune system be even more compromised because I haven’t been seeing/ mixing with people? Back to the semi shielding I think.
@Lanny oh dear. I can’t believe you weren’t tested for Covid 19 the first time you were in hospital. Shocking in my opinion. What is the point of all this supposed capacity for testing if you can’t even get one after admittance to hospital with respiratory problems.😱 I hope you recover soon.
Have a good day folks, and don’t forget tonight is “ last clapping” night. Which I think is the right thing to do.🙂
 
Have just realised, forgotten yesterday, I have an asda order today from 14:00 to 16:00. Just tried to ring customer service but, they’re not open til 07:00: need to tell the delivery person no contact at all; leave all the shopping on my front steps & ring doorbell as I don’t want to endanger anyone else! I didn’t call or tell any of my family yesterday since the franticness & worry I caused them on 15/05/20: will do it as gently as I can later today & STRESS I’m not bad enough to be in hospital!
 
morning All,

Today's reading for me was a 7.0 so not good for me today
 
To be fair The Causeway Hospital isn’t a CV centre & only a small hospital with just 2 wards upstairs: only 2 floors; ground floor is all outpatients, a day procedure unit, a gynae ward & A&E. I was there in May 2017 & know how small it is! The nearest CV centres to me are 16 miles away at Ballymena, also a small hospital not much bigger or Antrim, the county hospital, 40 miles away! I understand the close call the A&E doctor had to make about me on 15/05/20 & in fairness he treated me with antibiotics on the safe side after my x-rays!
 
VERY happy to report a 5.6 this morning. I sneakily ticked my prescription for strips and the dr gave me some, hurrah. I used them this morning and big smile on my face 🙂 I also noticed that the ones I have been using are out of date. Anyway work is definitely getting busier, people at last seem to be getting in touch with their GPs for routine things, well done peoples. Street party Monday was great, lovely weather, lots of neighbours joining in, dancing and singing, wonderful.
Will catch up with posts later, just off to Sainsbury’s. Stay safe x
 
Tested just before bed last night at a 5.5 and woke this morning to a 6.1

I say “woke” but that implies I had sleep. Nothing fun or exciting to report but was awake at 1am, 2am, 3.30am and then from about 4:15 onwards. Zero idea why.
 
Just got asda delivery sorted but, it did take quite a long time: going over details 2/3 times: hard to tell from 0800 number where CS is located; have a feeling it isn’t local! But, delivery person will get the note before my order slot! I will add that note myself to my other online orders just today’s was urgent!
 
10.0 when I woke up
Terrible day yesterday, hormonal hot flushes all day, woke up late so injections were late, consequently breakfast was late, just messed with my mojo! When I got up this morning realised my humalog was nearly empty, so maybe should have changed it yesterday, so thinking of writing yesterday off, hoping for a better day to day
 
Morning all,
A 5.5 this morning after some wild readings between hands yesterday!
@Lanny still going through the wars it seems along with others.
Braving Aldi this morning...

What do we think of this Test Track and Trace which starts today?

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning

Well after 3 months of trying to shift the laptop that mum stupidly bought without checking if it was suitable for her, it finally sold yesterday, woop woop!

Bruce’s mum also managed to get me some Antibacterial wipes from Aldi when she was through there yesterday! Maybe I’ll win the Thunderball on Saturday too! (I can dream eh?)

Anyways its a 6.4 for me this morning

@Michael12421 I'll say this only once more as others have told you on numerous occasions, you are putting yourself in more danger by having 3 chocolate digestives to treat a hypo in the 2's, a biscuit wouldn't be so bad if you were above 3.5 but biscuits aren't the fastest acting carb and definitely less so with the fat of the chocolate, you really need to rethink everything, sorry for the bluntness but its almost as if you don't want to put the work in and just continue to get sympathy when your levels are swinging from one extreme to the next

So that's enough from me but my patience is non existent for those that wont help themselves, stay safe folks and try and enjoy your day
xx
 
I’m not sure how many folks are champing at the bit to download the app @Snowwy - is that launching today?

10.2 at 5.45am for me, then 4.8 at 7am. Hey ho.

I agree that you need something much faster acting than biscuits or chocolate if you are so low @Michael12420 - the longer you spend in the 2s the more your brain accepts it as ‘normal’ and the less you will feel it - which will allow you to think it’s not a big deal... but you are really close to the edge of confusion and collapse at those levels :(

The app won’t be released for “a couple of weeks” according to gov.uk
