Group 7-day waking average?

That's what I was told too - but that was 6 years ago! 😱 🙂
Don't know if I'd prefer that or not to be honest, it might just make me worry more, but I'll cross that bridge if I come to it lol xx
 
Morning folks. I woke with a score of 7.2, but I’m quite proud of that, and in the blue zone all night. Had a strange day yesterday struggling to get down from double figure BGs.:confused:

Oh, well, never mind. Just one of those days. It’s daft getting bothered about stuff like that, it’s part of the deal. Onwards and downwards - it’s a haircut day today, my last mow in Tobermory. 🙄
 
Good morning again folks.
It's a 6.7 for me today and the sun is shining. I must clean the windows!!🙄

We're needing to get the outside of ours done but its never been decent enough weather to tumble the windows! Partner that with fear that one will break again upon doing so and we will have to wait another year and a half for the council to fix it, not easy lol, we had a window cleaner but for some reason he just stopped turning up (we're not rich or lazy but needs must when you live in a middle floor flat) haha xx

They are wood and there is no access to water to use a hose or anything, we have a window vacuum from Lidl's and its a decent little thing but as I say the weather hasn't yet allowed, apparently Saturday is meant to be good though! haha xx
 
Don’t worry you’ll get there. The waking numbers are usually the last to start coming down.
Cheers Ljc while out walking yesterday kept going dizzy did a reading 6.7 had a Mars bar for some sugar was fine then

Errm I know your relatively newly diagnosed but I would say the mars bar thing was not a good idea, as your levels will have been high for a while what you experienced sounds like a 'false hypo' this is when your levels are in normal range but you don't feel right as you've been used to running higher, eating a mars bar will only push them back up and you may end up with another episode like that as they come back down again, at 6.7 there is really no need for sugar so a few nuts or a small biscuit would have solved the problem xx
 
Hi kaylz need to start taking something out with me for when this happens done well today though all healthy
 
Good Morning All

The living remember the dead relatives. I find that quite touching.

Watched the movie “Selma” last night, very moving. Truly a great man in every sense of the word.

Would be nice if UK did something like that there's a lot of cultures that have a lot of respect for the past relatives think the UK should take parts from different countries and incorporate it into there own

I agree Heath but instead they, I should say we, are getting more xenophobic and paranoid as this farcical Brexit proves.
Rapidily becoming an insigiificant, isolationist island and a global laughing stock and it both annoys and upsets me.
 
05:00 BS 8.4. A bit of a rise from yesterday but, expected as I lowered my Levemir back down, yesterday at lunchtime, to normal as I’m feeling much better: temp. increased for past week while ill. Will make breakfast now! Still dark outside & freezing!

Top of the morning to you all!

Edited to add:- as instructed by hospital DSN.
 
Morning...not the only one who couldn't sleep?...up so early not sure my waking number is that...did I actually sleep last night?...woke to a 5.9
