Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all.🙂

Bit late reporting, been reading the Washington Post. Something you might have missed, because it’s not related to Brexit, is that 1.5 million people have evacuated the Carolinas before Hurricane Florence hits. Yup, 1.5 million. The Post, needless to say, writes that Trump is complicit - rolling back Obama’s climate change legislation, denying human induced climate change. And it is - it’s hitting further north, and the rain will be heavier (up to 25 inches) because the sea in the Gulf of Mexico is warmer. Big rain, says the illiterate Trump.

Anyway, after what could called a straight line overnight, woke up with 4.2. Nearly right, but a good job in the great scheme of things, I suppose. And no DP, despite taking 3 minutes to straighten out my legs. Three curse job, this morning. :D

Have a good day, everyone, it’s almost the weekend🙂

I’ve been following the Hurricane Florence situation Mike and it’s a potentially catastrophic one.

Shame Trump has diverted $10 million from the disaster aid budget and ploughed it into the coffers for detention of what he views as undesirables 🙄

Hopefully he'll be out in 2020 if not before. I'm not sure if Stormy Daniels has announced her climate change policy yet, but it's got to be better than Trump's & I assume she'll win in a landslide, even if she's a write-in. https://twitter.com/stormydaniels
 
12:00 BS 8.3. It’s lovely & bright outside withe the sun shining & some white puffy clouds. Good morning everyone!🙂
 
Welcome to the day, D-wranglers! Another 4.6 this morning & the dreaded DP still MIA.

This fibre caper really does seem to be working. I've started carrying around a little container of chia seeds in my pocket & adding them to food when I'm out, God help me. Easier on the innards than bran & don't have a constant smell in my nostrils like I've been working double shifts in a wheat silo.
 
Morning all, a 9.3 for me today.
 
Morning all, 7.0 here, 5.7 at 3am, so a half unit increase in my evening dose of basal seems to have notched it down a bit.

Confession time. I've fallen back into a dangerous cycle of not taking my insulin and not testing my blood sugars because I know that they will be bad. I have just forced myself to test and got 31.8 :(. I did go for an appointment with a health psychologist last week and they have decided that I am suitable for a course with a psychologist which will hopefully be starting shortly. Not surprisingly I am not feeling very well today and have resolved to spend the day getting those numbers lower again. I know what I need to do I just get so down about all of it and end up shutting off from it all. At the moment all I want to do is crawl into bed and pretend none of it is happening.

Emma, I'm so sorry to hear that you have been having problems :( We're all here for you, please get those numbers down and have a much better day today {{{{HUGS}}}}
 
Morning all and 5.7 for me.

Went to Cartwright Hall in Bradford yesterday where they are having a small but very good exibition on Bagpuss, The Clangers, Ivor the engine etc. The Hockney gallery was good as well.

Fence and she'd painting today weather permitting.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Oo, ouch, @Emma Lowery, that’s high. You must be feeling rotten. :( As Northie says, don’t be a stranger...let us know how you’re doing.

Morning all.🙂 4.9 here.😛

Blue sky...watch out beach, here we come!😎
 
@Emma Lowery . I am sorry to hear this . I can’t even begin to imagine how hard it must be for you right now.
{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

Good morning folks.
At 03 30 I realised the sleeper train had been cancelled, it would have been wonderful if they’d put out an announcement but you know what British rail is like :D . As the snack bar ny fridge and cupboards 😱 was open
I stacked up on some snacks 😱 walnuts, bacon flavoured corn snacks came into the picture but I am amazed that a rum baba that I’d bought for my dad seems to have disappeared too 😱😱😱.
The night train did eventually arrive around 07 00 I managed to get on. I’ve just woke up feeling tom and dick with no idea why 🙄.

Good morning 🙂 5.1 today which I'll happily live with.

@Emma Lowery I'm so sorry you are having such a tough time :(. Diabetes can become a vicious circle but if we can help at all please ask. I've been through a couple of periods of my life when I struggled with injecting and high levels. It is so hard to know where to start but anything you can do to get back on track- such as testing and knowing where you are- is a step in the right direction. I hope things start to improve for you 🙂
 
Morning everyone🙂

Great start to the day. Not. Double deflation on wheelchair tyres. Oh well, nothing on the shopping list today. Good excuse for a slobby day.🙄

Woke with a score of 6.5, once the reader had got over its hissy fit, telling me to test again in 10 minutes. Once it was working again, it alleged I’d been low all night and magically went higher on waking. Aye, right. I must have been sleeping on the sensor. I’ll have to finesse positioning next week.:confused:

Have a good day everyone🙂
 
Bakers Bun 6.1 this morn. Loving this cooler weather, came home smelling like flowers instead of a sewage plant in the heatwave.
 
Very late reporting! 17:09 BS 7.5. Trying reduced dose of 16 units Novorapid, did exercises & about to eat & a bath afterwards.

I woke up half propped up on my right side yesterday morning with my arm VERY numb. Sat up & the right side of my neck was KILLING me! Hadmy Levemir only & exercises before going back to bed! VERY tired; like I hadn’t slept at all!

So, my sleeping pattern is off now as I didn’t sleep till after my midday Levemir earlier. BS was 9.6 before sleeping so, the Levemir did its thing & I woke with my BS a smidge lower than yesterday evening when I got up 2 hours later, after 19:00.

I’m SO hungry & off to eat now! Will catch up later!

Hope you’re all having a GOOD day!🙂
 
Morning! Rebounded from lows, 5.5 this morning. I blame eating too much yesterday.
 
Good morning. Scored 6.2 this morning.
