Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, a 9.2 for me today.
 
Hi everyone🙂

Late reporting because I’ve been deconstructing the vacuum cleaner. Needs a new brush, which is arriving today. That’s just a two minute job - it’ll take longer getting it out of Amazon’s packaging.:confused:

Anyway, woke on 6.8, after a very uncomfortable night with legs complaining. I’m thinking of sending them back, not fit for purpose. Out of warranty, though😳

Forgot to say, the Podiatrist/chiropodist found no probs with the feet. She had a nifty ultrasound gizmo that showed my arteries are throbbing away nicely. Not NHS, of course, because she cut my toenails as well. £30 well spent. It’s nice having a pretty girl rubbing cream into your feet...😎
 
Five Dozen 6.0. 5.2 now, Shepherds pie cooking....yes, sweet potato top, it's worth visiting Mum on the way home, she knows what I like 🙂

scores on the doors Miss Ford .
Getting there. Decided I am going to cut down my testing at weekend. Wand a couple of days off. So to speak! Still hungry, despite pizza and salad. Fingers painful. But we continue the fight. .
 
Hi all. HS this morning.

Would have doubted I could get to that a few weeks ago. Now I'm wondering why it's a bit high. Pathetic, but human.
 
05:55 BS 6.7. Had a much better day yesterday as I guessed correctly the doses I needed & al readings were within target ranges! Albeit with 62 units Novorapid in total compared to 130 units of the day before!😱 The same Levemir doses are holding my levels steady as I sleep.🙂

My cold is in the process of moving from my chest to my head which isn’t usual as 9 times out of 10 it’s the other way round: head to chest!:confused: It’s getting easier to breath as my nose gets more sniffy?o_O

But, fingers crossed, won’t be so bad & no antibiotics for a chest infection?🙂

Will try a cautious 20 units Novorapid, do my exercises & have breakfast!

Have a good day all!🙂
 
Morning all and it's a 4.7 post cat fingerprint for me despite a bedtime woosh to 13.8. A cautious 2 unit correction which brought it down to 8 ISH by 02:00 where it stuck for an hour or so then a steady fall until the alarm.

Good job I find it interesting.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all , 5.9 for me this morn . I keep hovering around the high 5s low 6s and have been all this hot summer . I like to be mid 5s and have been but the heat kept me from exercising properly to keep it down so now I'm trying to get it back to mid 5s before a visit to nursy after bloods next week ! 🙄 Its hard though because I'm not the worlds most enthusiastic exerciser !!😳

Your doing well.
Ugg sore fingers, maybe you’ve got your jabber set too high try turning the dial down a notch or two.
Have a read of painless-pricks by Alan S it has some good tips there

Also if you jab along the side of a finger instead of the pad its a little less painful , hope this helps 🙂
 
Morning all.🙂 8.8 here...who knows?!🙄

Off to Bristol today to celebrate my nephew’s 21st, even tho he won’t be there, hahaha. He didn’t want a fuss, but the rest of us did! Don’t you just love a good family do? 😛
 
Morning all, my first time posting, don’t know why, I have nothing to be ashamed of! Firstly, what’s a house special and is there a prize if I get it? My BG this morning at 7am was.....6.4. I was pleased about that as I went to bed on 8.9 for some unfathomable reason. See you tomorrow, if I remember. 🙂

Morning Eggy, good to see you here. It's part of my morning routine, as vital as that first cup of tea. A House Special is 5.2, (an arbitrary decision lost in the mists of time). No prizes, but a jazzy little congratulatory picture from Northie, if he's around,
