Group 7-day waking average?

Morrisons have some good ones. I drooled over them yesterday but they had fruit in and I was not sure about that if it was ok or not so I bought 1 ton of Stilton lol.
Very difficult walking around there, all that wonderful festive food, I could have gone into a serious, manic depression and cried right there and then in the store :(

I was like that the first year Vince but it’s amazing how these really sweet things we once loved seem a bit sickly one we stop having them. I’ve opened a box of chocolates and have had one out of it since Christmas Eve.
Berries are your best bet but your levels are so low, I’d experiment with introducing very small amounts of the things you like just to stop you feeling deprived. Depends on your will-power though...6 honeycomb biscuits at once are out! Lol 😱

I thought I had thrown then all out to be honest Amigo and told a friend to take them but yesterday, when I was moving the kitchen stuff around, I opened the biscuit barrel and SHOCK HORROR 😱 it is full of the damn things.
Orange Club, Rocky Caramel. McVities Gold.
I closed it very, very quickly. Would break my heart to throw them out lol
Like loosing a long loved friend.
So, my strategy is I have my appointment on Jan 2nd for a review and on the 3rd with my GP
I don't want to experiment until after those so I can show them my BG level record, food diary and my meter which calculates averages for 7,14, 30, and 90 days as evidence and request a Hba1c test then I will try maybe one. Seriously though I have developed and sort of Carb Paranoia.
 
I’ve not done too well, but could have been much worse. Really high last night so trying today. Thought sisters etc were maybe all having a meet up, so bought things I shouldn’t eat, but that’s a good excuse. It’s all made me a bit fed up but at least I have done some exercise just now. Made shortbread before Xmas, gave a lot away, and cannily made it in small bits. At least if I have 2 bits it’s damage limitation grrr.off now for a shower and a visit to friend for a wee while
 
A Very Good Morning to One and All.

Extremely cold here again last night. Heating is on at 21C and left on.
Had a video conference call with Kunshan at 3.30 am, 11.30 am their time, so tested, got up at 3.15 and made coffee before answered call, stayed up. I have never been able to go back to bed once up.
Have another call scheduled at 7.00 am.
Therefore, I class 3.15 am as my wake up reading.
Had to fire a young engineer yesterday for cheating. That boils my blood, I detest dishonesty in any shape or form intensely that so out he went, feet didn't touch the floor. Idiot! Had only been with us a few weeks.
No rest for the wicked.

Accu-Chek say 5.5
At 3.15 am

Have a good day everyone.
Kippers for breakfast this morning methinks.

Good morning all and 5.6 but getting very high numbers after eating, think the illness is affecting my liver so it's pumping extra glucose out, does that happen to you?
I will try and speak to my DSN but unlikely I will success.
Another resting day for me, wish we had snow but just rain. Enjoy your day.

I hope that you start feeling better soon and that your levels start sorting themselves out. Must admit that I haven't had this particular issue happening to me - but I did have to put my basal up to 35 in November for a few weeks and have then had to start bringing it down to 30 - so I'm wondering if my changes for both you and me are because of viruses taking longer than normal to leave our systems.
 
Good morning everyone. I hope everyone who’s ill is starting to feel better now
Have a good day folks
Woke to 5,3 .
I check a new sensor once or twice a day for a few days today’s results are 4.4 meter Libre says 4.7 🙂
 
Morning all, its a 9.1 for me today. Sitting in the office (by myself) having brekkie, i'll have to bring my new camera in to work one day as the sun rises are lovely from where I sit. Its gonna be another quiet one here today, picked up a couple of bits in the sales yesterday.
 
Good morning folks! 🙂 Quite chilly here today
Thought after the call my mum got yesterday about having to go back to the surgery for a fasting test she may look in to changing the way she eats, but no stuffed her face with her white crusty cheese topped roll and then reached for the chocolate
Got a few charms ordered last night and a small pair of hoop earrings so I will be waiting for a lot of stuff lol
Anyways was a 5.9 for me this morning
Hope you all have a great day whatever you are doing!! :D xx

Freezing here last night, couldn’t even put on cosy pj,s in case police visited about my damaged wing mirror(they didn’t, and phoned at eight this morning.like you Vince, I hate dishonesty and lies.not a nice time for you to have to take a stand, but hopefully a learning curve for him. Hope you get a rest
 
Good morning. 9.1 for me this morning. Lazy morning for me but plan for a bit of a wee walk after breakfast. Nothing like a holiday to make you not want to move. Stay well everyone

I doubt it Carolg..He is Chinese and dishonesty for many of them is a way of life unfortunately. Experts at taking advantage but he is not my problem now he is his own problem.
 
That is not a racist comment by the way Carolg, just a simple fact. What are moral values or virtues to us in the UK for example in many other countries and cultures are not.

I didn’t think it was Vince, just sad that people are like that. The local “lovies” here have taken to kicking wing mirrors off cars, it’s like they can’t see anyone else having anything they haven’t got, or maybe I am judgemental.£160 to get it fixed, (and hope they don’t do it again) and probably no chance of an apology, and cost of policing as well. And a knock on my door by the local bobby at some time. Oh well, roll on new year

A false sense of entitlement in many unfortunately.
