Group 7-day waking average?

mikeyB said:
Good morning all. Today’s effort is positively Kaylz like. 4.7. Spooky.

Bit on the low side too, but as it’s a Libre reading if you square it, divide by 8, take away four and divide by the date of your mum’s birthday, that reading is a 5.2 and bang in range. Hooray:D

By your calculations, happy HS mikeyB
 
Don’t worry, Flower, if you’re going out tomorrow it’ll be raining as per :D
 
Morning all, 6.5 here. Got the Sunday paper delivered, a thaw has set in, was woken up early by a huge slab of snow sliding off the roof onto the carefully shovelled drive, thus impeding paper mans progress to front door, ah well, we tried!
 
Yesterday in town was like the slush dodge with huge mounds of thick snow piled up to make a thoroughfare.
There were some pretty lethal looking icicles hanging too. I was careful not to walk under those!
 
Just been for a long walk by the sea....shouldn't have worn a jumper under my jacket, that's how great it is. Sweatsville. What a difference.
 
@Northerner and @wirralass I hope you are both better soon

It’s thawing out nicely here, still cold though.
Woke to 6.6 meter , 6.7 Libre smug lol. A few mins later I discovered the sensor was working loose So it’s now taped on where it will hopefully stay for it’s last 3 days.
 
My waking today was 10.7 😱 at 08.23am. I tested 12.0 😱 in the night!

I've had a temperature building up since before last Monday and coughing since about 23 Feb (Saw my GP Fri) but I was exceptionally feverish during last night. My temperature broke this morning thank goodness so I guess the antibiotics are doing what they're supposed to do. Still feeling rough tho with this chest infection but not coughing as often🙂

Hopefully my bgs will become more stable the next few days or so. They've had a bumpy ride fluctuating between 6.0 and 12.0 (last night) over the last ten days so I guess I was incubating the chest infection for longer than I thought. But hey ho I'm still breathing🙂

@Ljc Thank you for your kind well wishes ~ I hope it wont be too long before I'm tip-top again. x

You’ll feel rough because of the mild toxins the bacteria release as the antibiotics kill them off, but that should pass quickly, and your BGs should get back to normal. You must finish the full course of tablets even if you feel perfectly well. Consultation over😎

Get well soon, WL, all the crew prefer you tip-top.🙂

Our bodies do seem to know we’re not well long before we do. Fingers crossed it reached its height last night.
Take care don’t try doing too much too soon ok !
 
Checked BG before going out to walk to bus station 9.6 . Only took 35 minutes there and back and BG 7.7 on return. Well that’s proof in the pudding. Don’t know if it was the walking or the cold wind. Tootsies are freezing
 
Aye, it’s your body trying to maintain your temperature that burns up the glucose. Stick your tootsies in a pair of warm slippers, and sit down with a nice hot cuppa, then all will be well.🙂

Is the bus station in Leven so attractive it’s worth a visit then? I must have missed that up the road in St Andrews.:D
