Group 7-day waking average?

Good for you for not succumbing to all those lovely baked goodies ~ good self discipline there
I wish! I had a meat and potato pie, a bean and sausage pasty, a tuna mayo brown sarnie, 1 pkt Walkers crisps and followed that little lot with a plain KitKat and a plain Bounty, with two bottles of water. Later when I came home I then had a traditional Cornish Pasty with other stuff and another for breakfast the following morning. There's a reason I'm diabetic, I'm a food addict. 😱

I've stopped now as the strips have come. Phew. I've got to get my Paul McKenna CD going again...
 
A while ago, now lost in the mists of time, on the forum it was decided that a waking number of 5.2 was neither too low nor too high, but just right (in fact, bog standard average!) and it's stuck ever since.
Thanks for asking vince, I also wondered
 
Thanks Amigo ~ I don't envy you the root canal milarky, its buddy painful ~ not surprised your levels are high atm. My root canal treatment was done in a 40min appt. I'm trying to ignore my high levels because I know what's causing them so once my bruised ribs & shoulder injury recover ~ and after teeth extractions ~ I'm hoping my levels will become more stable again. Good luck with your next root canal treatment🙂
I am lucky, my dentist will not let me feel pain. Gave me a gentle rebuke during a really difficult extraction, as I didn’t tell her I could feel something. Root canal was absolutely pain free. She even uses “bubble gum” gel to numb gums before injection. A perfect star
 
It’s taking a total of 5 appointments WL because of my immune compromised status. In the meantime I’ve had a front tooth missing since the beginning of Oct, continuing discomfort and am sick of being in dentist chairs!

And I wonder why my bg’s have jumped! 😡

Hope yours stabilise soon hun.
Good luck with your treatments

Oh the procedure didn’t hurt Carol. She’s careful to the point of obsession as I bleed more easily with low platelets and infect easily too. It’s been afterwards. This open cavity is still very inflamed despite being covered. I’ve been given prophylactic antibiotics but they’re hard on the tum! :(
I actually feel sorry for my dentist because I’m a tricky patient and I’m not a dental wimp...honest!

Good NIght / Good Morning All
I recorded 4.8 at 5.36 am today
Sweet dream all and have a ball tomorrow everyone.
 
Good morning 🙂 5.6 Libre/6.1 blood test - happy enough with that, and a nice overnight flatfish 🙂

Morning all.🙂 4.1 here. It looks like my poor flatfish suddenly flipped over and died at around 3am, LOL.🙄

Aw, I really feel for you, @Amigo, and with everything else you have to put up with - a gentle ((hug)) from me.
 
Good morning. 6.3 meter 4.8 Libre
Have a lovely day everyone.
 
Morning all. A 6.4 for me today. After 5 days of finger pricking ( about as much as I can take 🙂), I've just activated a new libre so back onto that shortly.🙂

Oh, I’m so glad to hear this, but not about your pain and after effects. I am a bit of a dental wimp, I wouldn’t be a dentist for love nor money.good luck with rest of treatment
