Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all you snotty and ex snotty folks (that’s me)🙂

Well, I had a grotty night. For some reason my left hip decided to stick it’s oar in, so every time I rolled over in bed I got a nice shot of pain. I got it subdued with two Trammies and three drops of magic oil.

Then, a challenge. Had another waking at 6.30, so checked. BG. 5.0. Now this is a click and bleed reading. So am I going up or coming down? I ate a jelly baby.

So, to the point. Got out of bed on a score of 4.4. Good game:D

Still, at least according to the Lords of Misrule ParcelForce my sensors arrive today, then I can get back to basal fettling, for even more fun on the Diabetes Front line.🙂

By the way, got a text from daughter. Grandson Tom, 3 and 3/4, can now swim half a width with no flotation aids. Well, I was impressed.😛
I’m impressed too, well done Tom. 🙂 Whilst we’re talking about proud grandparent moments, our just turned 10 month old Sadie took her first steps on Saturday! Don’t know why I’m so pleased, she’s on her way as we speak, and there will be no stopping her. 10 month old + walking = 2 x very exhausted grandparents! 😱

Jeeze Carol , they’ve surely got to help you now. You must be feeling really awful
{{{{{{hug}}}}}}
 
Good morning, it's a 4.2 here 🙂

Had a worrying dream that insulin was in short supply- I hope it's not prophetic . I asked on the forum for a slogan for my placard I was taking to Parliament. The one I used was 'I-Need-S-U-L-I-N NOW'. Times must have been hard or we were all suffering from high blood sugar brain fog 😱

Have a pleasant Friday all 🙂
 
Morning all, 9.5 for me today. Wish me luck for today, I have a job interview for a temporary Christmas job.
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I woke in the chair at 9.00 this morning. With a BG of 4.8, so that’s fair enough. Well, if you have a rise and recline chair, and you recline to watch Newsnight...

By the way, yesterday’s parcel from Abbott was a new reader, not the sensors. What woke me up this morning was an automated call from Parcelfarce telling me the package will arrive this morning before 11. Better had do, I’ve only got three strips left.🙄

Then at least it’ll stop me phone reminding me to replace the sensor in three hours:D
 
Good morning 7.9 and a day of fasting after last nights figure. Went to bed late 0200 hrs tested BGL and a fine figure of 22.1😱. My neighbour made me a bowl of stew and I tucked into that after doing my night time injection about 7 pm. I knew something was up Tingly Toes turned to painful feet and legs :(, injected another 10 units of insulin. Hopefully all will stay calm during the day 🙂.

Good luck with the interview Stitch.

Have a good day everyone.
