Group 7-day waking average?

Kaylz said:
you constantly wake up hypo and don't even feel it much, alcohol can be a huge factor in causing lows when you are sleeping, you are very irresponsible at looking after yourself and wont do a damn thing to change it yet get a lot of sympathy, its honestly getting unbelievable and you need to buck up and do something about it before you end up dead because of it, yes blunt but that's exactly how my consultant put it to me when I lost my hypo awareness even though I was doing everything right

I dont know anyones background so this is just a general post.. in my humble opinion alcohol is not a good thing for a diabetic. As the alcohol is leaving your system you will more often than not wake to a low. I know im quite a new member but i have seen enough posts to come to that opinion plus it used to happen to me before i kicked the drink to the kerb.
I know this wont be the same for everyone and i guess it depends how much you have the evening before.
 
Luv Clue. :D

I've not been measuring, my tunnel vision thing means I only want to be in the garden. Really daft as the garden starts to look good while I'm going to rack and rooney! Will start tomorrow... famous last words.
 
05:14 BS 7.1 🙂 Yay! That’s going in the right direction!:D

Only ate twice yesterday & usual half oatcake, half the dose preventing DP! Just as well as, get ready for the shocker, I put on 2 more kilos: that’s me at 84 kilos now when my weight has been a steady 79 kilos before lockdown; it had gone up to 82 kilos before I got ill a couple of weeks ago & I’ve mentioned before that I eat like a pig when ill unless I have a fever! I’m now a very apposite heavy pig: born 1971 in a Year of the Pig!😱

Ah well, something to work on once I have enough breath to do some exercise: the 70 steps to & from the kitchen & the 50 to & from the bathroom can still be a bit winding; but, a definite improvement over what it was!o_O Slightly less extreme emoji than this one,😱! :D🙄😉

An early Good Morning to you all & lovely bright Sunshine on the Inside & Outside for all of you!😉😎😛:D

Oh! Almost forgot: asda shopping is coming today 13:00 to 15:00 & I need it; eating like a pig this week & I’m low on food!😳😱:D🙄😉

So close... 5.3 this morning.

Dead headed some flowers on the balcony yesterday so that pot is looking much neater and will come back with gusto when the next set of buds open up. And watched Bake Off Processionals last night without having a patisserie themed dream!

Going to head out soon(ish) for a walk around the park and treat myself to a coffee from the newly reopened, family run, Italian cafe where you’re as likely to be gently insulted as you are to be given decent coffee!
Meeting up with a friend later to sign some documents which need to be witnessed and I’m sure we’ll have a socially distanced coffee and stroll.

It’s the first time since being born that I’ve not seen my folks on their wedding anniversary. They’ll have to make do with the card and flowers I’ve sent them. I was tempted to all the florist to make a sculpture of me from them but I’m not quite sure my budget would run to that level of extravagance so a hand tied bouquet will suffice.
I did request that it’s delivered between 7-7:30am because I know it’ll wake them up and I’m cruel like that lol Love ’em really!
 
Morning all,
@ColinUK as you say, so close, Enjoy the coffee!
6.1 for me today, a bit of jetwashing today but shouldn't take long.
Not so warm today I believe.
Out for the run first.

What are you running through that you’ll need jet washing afterwards though? 🙂

Crikey! 😱 The diabetes fairy was VERY nice to you!:D I wish I could eat that & wake up on a decent reading!😎 Your pancreas must have panicked, worked all night pumping out insulin to counter that 11.1 while you were sleeping?🙄😱 Or, it might have been the walk after dinner?🙄 Either way: NICE!😛😉
 
Morning

Well what a change in weather yesterday, dull, cool and numerous rain showers, was a welcome change to the sweltering heat for me, much prefer it cooler!

Bruce brought bread up for me last night and I had to request some spreadable butter too, thought I had enough to do me until Saturday when he’d be at Lidl’s but when I was making my sandwich for dinner realised there was no chance that was going to happen!

Anyways its a 4.8 for me this morning, spent pre meals in the 5's yesterday so something to keep an eye on, I don't like being too low after losing my hypo awareness before but I don't want to be too lax either but with a 5.8 before bed and 2 digestive biscuits something is certainly going on! Good job they only cost 31p a pack but will need Bruce's mum to pick me up some more as I'm going through them like goodness knows what!

Anyways stay safe my lovelies and have a nice day if you can
xx
 
Morning all, and it’s raining! Thank goodness. A 7.3 for me. I didn’t bolus enough for my potato wedges obviously but I’d had a 7 mile walk in the blistering heat yesterday and a glass of Sancerre with my tea so thought I’d be a bit cautious. It’ll probably catch me by surprise later. Car going to garage soon to get a new glass roof, wonder what courtesy car we’ll get? Usually we would collect the grandkids and take them out ( our car is a two seater) but alas that’s not to be, no social distancing in a car. Maybe we should have requested a bus! Have a good day. 🙂
 
Morning all, another HS here, I’m beginning to like this sensor. Unusually for me, it started off a bit sluggish, but seemed to perk up after a couple of days. Dull here, but no rain yet. It had better start soon, lawn has gone brown and crispy.

Congratulations @Robin on the House Special. :D
My reading this morning is 5.0. 🙂
Dull and drizzly here as well so far today. :(

(Have) A SLY TREAT and spread only love and kindness.
