Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, a rather surprising 5.7 for me. 11.4 for after shenanigans with evening bolus timings.

I'm not complaining it's just strange that if I go to bed on a reasonable level I wake to a reasonable level but on the odd occasion I go to bed wide of the mark everything is usually fine by the morning.

Have a good day everyone.
Happens to me on occasion too, which is why I never correct if a bit high before bed 🙂
 
View attachment 10213 Hello there.🙂 3.9 here.😛

Well, it’s Gwennie’s 4th birthday today but she doesn’t know cos she’s a dog. ‘Gwenu’ (sounds like Gwennie) means ‘to smile’ in Welsh, which is something she makes us do a lot.

Good doggie! Chewing on a birthday pomegranate? Is she vegan? 🙂
 
Good morning all🙂

Fell asleep in the recliner last night. Well, that’s what they are for, for us crumblies. Two consecutive busy days is my excuse. Who cares anyway? 🙄

Anyway, woke on 8.2, which is what I vaguely remember I was before I fell asleep, so it’ll do for now. 🙄

Now for a day relaxing..😉

By the way, that’s no pomegranate. Anything that crunchy and turning brown must be a quince. Do I get the prize? :D
 
It’s a great big cooking apple.🙂

For Gwen, apples are a game and a snack rolled into one. First of all, she chucks it down our steps and chases it. Then, if no-one sees fit to join in the game, she sits down and eats it.🙄
 
Morning all on this rather mild day. Clickity, click 6.6 in the BG bingo, that’s what it feels like sometimes, totally random numbers plucked out of a spinning drum! Feeling quite deaf in my left ear today, hoping it’s not going to turn into an infection as I have a luncheon appointment tomorrow with some of my oldest friends ( literally and metaphorically) and am looking forward to the craic and a couple of lemonades! Have a splendid Sunday.🙂
 
Having a paced day. Tidying up after concentrating on doing stuff with son. Shattered last night and a bit better today but looking forward to order in my house of horrors, and back to just me with cat yowling all the way home

Hope you feel better tomorrow. I have nurse phoning, so going to really ask serious questions.

Looking forward to strictly results tonight then again early night
 
Good evening 8.6 this morning, no brekky no lunch just 2 cups of tea. 14.4 at 1300hrs 11.8 at 1500hrs, not a piece of food entered my mouth. Had flu jab yesterday, spent most of the early hours sat on the loo so putting it down to that, maybe. Other than that went to a jazz session this afternoon free munchies but not for me :(.

Hope you all had a pleasant day.
 
Happy Monday everyone. Looks like first up today. Ear aching and splitting headache so have upped my prophylactic Penicillin dose to try and knock any threatening infection on the head. I don’t do being ill! Despite feeling a bit ropey BG a reasonable 6.7. Feeling hungry so going by the old adage “ feed a cold, starve a fever” it looks like I will survive! Have a great day whatever you chose/have to do. 🙂

Hope you recover quickly @eggyg 🙂

Good morning 🙂 6.9 for me today 🙂
 
Good morning y’all🙂

I woke with 5.5, after a two JB snack in the night discovering a 3.5 when I got up the decant the bladder. Neat🙄

I had a fantastic night. Went to bed at 11ish and woke up at 8.50. (Apart from the wee). Feel fully refreshed after the exertions Friday and Saturday. Today the exertions are just phone calls.

By the way, I ordered a new Sky controller from Amazon on Friday night. It arrived yesterday, in a cardboard box 20x14x4 inches. Lots of packing. Ok, it’s all recyclable, but a padded envelope would have done it. Anyway, it’s nice having a controller without jam on it.:confused:

Don’t ask:D
 
Morning all.

5.4 for me which I’m happy with. Less happy with the 6 hypos I’ve had in 5 days - anyone else finding they need to reduce their ratios now it’s colder?! (I’m normally the other way around)

I ordered an OS map the other day - it arrived in a cardboard envelope that was too big to fit through my letterbox, which is a standard size - the map would have easily fitted through 🙄

My levels have been all over the place over the past couple of weeks and I've gone from 40 units a day to just 25 yesterday, with some nasty hypos (we're talking 50g jobs 😱) because I wasn't reducing the doses significantly enough! 🙄
