Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, a 9.3 for me today. Sore ribs after laying on my front for about 5 hours while being tattooed yesterday, but so worth it.

Pic please!
 
Good morning. Hope you all have a good day.
Applied and activated a new sensor straight yesterday, my own fault as I forgot to get one prepped earlier any way it was a right little fibber for several hours showing early 3s when I was in high 5s but a few hours laying on it seems to be sorting it out.

Woke to 7.7 on fingerpick which supprised me because of what had I needed to eat and drink in the early hours, a good couple of slugs of juice, 2 small cans of coke ugh not nice at that time of night which budged my 3.1 to 3.2 by which time I was totally fed up with it also the hypo hunger had set in so I quelled both with two slices of bread with peanut butter and coffee with two spoons of sugar, with all that high carb I fully expected to be in Double figures.
Have reduced basal by half a unit this morning.

Good morning friends🙂

I woke up at 7.30 with. 3.9, so ate a jelly baby to aim for a house special when the alarm went off at 8.30. Just missed, 5.4. :(

Still, no visits from DF last night, steady straight line gently sloping down.

Nice sunny morning here in Lancashireland, but the heating is on. I’m used to subtropical Mull.🙄
 
Good morning I`ve been absent for a few days, lots going on but BS all over the place. Seem to have it under control now a 6.3 at 7am down to HS at 09.00, weather is sun& rain 19.C.

Have a good day all.
 
08:24 BS 7.7. Just sat down after a busy morning! Had 22 units Novorapid, exercises & breakfast! Then, pepared a lamb curry that’s in the slow cooker for dinner tonight!😛 After breakfast 09:44 BS 7.8.🙂

Cold is more or less gone but, have an ear infection, right ear again, & treating with tea tree oil. If necessary, will get antibiotics from GP but, currently playing it by ear!😱:D

Very wet & miserable here!:( Really enjoyed Strictly last night!😛:D Looking forward to Vanity Fair on ITV & Bodygaurd on BBC later tonight!🙂

Have a good day everyone & may you be SUNNY on the inside: won’t matter what the weather is on the outside!:D😎🙂

I hope things are settling down for you now Ted 🙂
 
Sorry I’m late, keep forgetting to do first thing, too busy on Face Ache at breakfast. Woke to 7.2 today, I think the cooler weather has something to do with my higher than usual readings. Lovely morning in Eggyland, sunny but bloomin’ cold. Going to make chicken soup for lunch and a ratatouille to go with my slow roasted pork done in my Crock Pot as my oven is broken. I’m having to be super inventive about meals as no oven OR grill! We actually did have a fry up for breakfast today as opposed to an oven/ grill up, first time for many a year. Was kinda nice, don’t tell anyone please! 🙄
 
16.7 before bed. Been later my hair down and not being to bothered what I eat. Back on the diabetic horse rodeo from tomorrow. I suppose this is my version on the 5:2.

I hope you don’t have to wait too much longer till your oven can be fixed.

Their is nowt wrong about getting the frying pan out, mine is used quite often .
I used to love my old griddle, till a certain person who lives here , (my dad ) decided to get rid of it for me 😱 it was a lovely cast iron one too.
 
Morning all! 5.6 today, higher than it's been for a while, after a bold experiment with rice last night.

Then I remembered I planned to get my blood sucked this morning for 6 mths post-DX review later this week & had to scurry off for that. Was hoping to astonish lab, surgery, their professional associates, their family & friends with a 4 point something FBG but that ain't gonna happen this time. Oh well.

My prototype Diabetotron v0.6 cranks out an HbA1C prediction of 5.8% / 40, plus or minus a bit. Will find out how deluded it is on Thursday.
 
05:01 BS 7.8. 22 units Novorapid, exercises & had breakfast!

Yesterday was a much better day & I’m more or less over my cold! The ear is doing ok with tea tree oil & is improving slowly with no signs of going out of control, yet! Got my doses a bit wrong yesterday as I wasn’t that hungry & over bolused for the lamb curry that I only ate half a serving of. Forced myself to eat ice cream an hour later to avoid a hypo: first time I DIDN’T enjoy it!😱 Will be lowering doses now from today!

Only had 22 units this morning as I ate the other half serving of lamb curry this morning with some reheated mash potato! Will see when I test, in about 40 minutes, how that turns out?🙄

Physio assessment after lunch at 2pm today after my physiotherapist’s return from annual leave! I’ve come a long way with my daily physio since the last time O saw her!🙂

Have a good day all & carry that sunshine on the inside!🙂:D😎
 
Morning folks. I have remembered to post today! 6.3, more like my usual thank goodness. Just waiting the customary 20 minutes after bolusing before I can eat my brekkie. Starving! Off to the fells today, hoping to bag a Wainwright or two. 🙂
