Group 7-day waking average?

11:39 BS 7.8. Going in the right direction again!🙂 Yesterday’s plan went rather well! Deliberately didn’t test after meals but, pre lunch was BS 5.6 & pre dinner was BS 6.2. AND taste is almost back to normal: manged a few paprika pringles with my glass of elderflower presse toast at midnight!🙂

Sticking with the same plan today & see how it goes?🙄 I have a bit of a delicate head today, no, no, I’m tee total, remember?😉 I slept with the window open because my nose felt a bit stuffy & I didn’t want to go back on cetrizine! I couldn’t sleep & the fresh air helped so, was watching on youtube The Kirov Ballet performing Sleeping Beauty & fell asleep about half way through around 4am? Closed the window when I woke up cold! Will have breakfast & watch the rest of it later!🙂

Happy New Year everybody & I’m glad to see the cold virues being kicked off, those snotty so & so’s! @Madeline, glad to see your numbers coming down &, hopefully, you’ll be out of hospital soon! @eggyg, glad to hear you’re feeling better & sorry to hear of your cancelled party!

Have a wonderful day everyone filled with sunshine inside & out!:D😛 2019, here we boldly go!🙂
 
Started the year on a 7.2 which isn’t bad after the little ‘snackettes’ out last night. I was 7.2 after those too so stayed steady overnight.
Spent NYE in the company of a newly diagnosed type2 friend who is at the ‘daren’t eat anything’ stage, sticking to low fat as advised, been told she doesn’t need to test even though she’d like to, taking her dietary advice from the percentage labels on the front of packaging and straight onto statins! 🙄

From the medical advice she’s received, I’ve no idea what’s left for her to eat. Oh, apart from the low fat yoghurts that have been commended! We had a little chat about that.

 
Good morning, and happy New Year to all🙂

I woke (eventually) on 10.3, the overnight line rising to this from around 7 at the 6 o’clock wee. Could be the cold, I suppose, very snotty and coughing this morning.

I’ll be unable to go to the footie this afternoon, the lift repair man came yesterday to stick “do not use” labels on the lift. Lazy b*****d.

I’m going to spend the morning revising the Grumpy 101 module in my magistrate training handbook.😡

Anyway, last night I watched the Scottish Hogmanay on BBC Scotland (channel 977 on Sky). Everybody having a fun time, and singing Auld Lang Syne with the correct pronunciation. Few English people understand the words, particularly the later verses, but it’s a song about lost love, though not sad, a happy reminiscence🙂

Have a good day, have a good 2019, and best of luck with the medical shortages, something else that the Brexiteers forgot to mention. 🙄
 
Morning all. 10.0 here and a horrible cold ☹️. Reached 18.8 before lunch so temp basal is on and long walk this afternoon I hope will help.
 
I meant to post this last night but........!

Happy New Year to you all. Wishing you a healthier year ahead with much happiness ~ joy ~ success in all that you do ~ and much wealth in more ways than one.

Ooops almost forgot....it was 8.5 late this morning which is nothing to frown upon considering the feast and prosecco last night🙄:D

Love & best wishes

Hello all, hope you've had a nice new years' day. I was up to 9 this morning, bit disappointing, but I'm putting it down to constant snacking last night, particularly onions. 🙄 All Atkins foods, just too much of it.
 
Yawn stretch. Good morning folks. It’s 7.6 for me this morning, I expected higher as I seem to have scoffed 3 macaroons at bedtime 😱
 
Morning all
8.7 for me but awake really early and had a coffee, so perhaps not as high as that before.

Working up to taking decorations down today, bah humbug !
 
Good morning folks🙂

I woke up (earlier then I intended) with a score of 6.5. Fair enough.

The reason I woke up was coughing, after this cold, and a bit wheezy, so in addition to the morning diet of Americano and CBD oil, add Ventolin. Oh well, all is peaceful now.🙄 Don’t think I’d pass an Olympic dope test, mind😎

I’m hoping the lift is repaired today, need some supplies and some fresh air. Yesterday, of course, I missed the rare event of a Blackburn Rovers win against West Brom. On New Years Day, of course, it’s a question of which side comes blinking into the daylight in decent fettle, to say nothing of the supporters.:confused:

Have a good day everyone, it’ll soon be spring. Though who decided to make January such a long month?:D
 
6.5 this cold and frosty morning and another 7 days before the next dose of steroids. Wondering how many weeks it would take before I could reduce insulin to 0 ... ah can but dream.

Have a good day everyone and hope the colds, lurgy and bugs stay away xx
 
Good morning all, white and frosty here, chilly. Have run out of strips, they're on their way from ebay asap with any luck. Have a good day y'all. 😎

Not taking the decorations down till Epiphany but it does seem a long time to go...I'm holding out till Jesus gets his prezzies. 😉
 
6.8 when I tested at 1am, 5am and 7.15am but Libre either said I was 4.2 or in the 2's. Thank goodness I double-check with my finger pricker. Very happy that it was a stable 6.8 🙂
 
A waking 6.2 and glad the festivities are now over with the glittery tat boxed up and only the remnants of a half a box of mince pies and the soft centres left!

Time for a proper shop today for proper food and I hope all the sales seekers have returned to work.

Next week all the medical appointments start in earnest 🙄
 
Good morning 9.0 on a bright sunny day, down to 7.3 now 🙂, digestive biscuits at midnight probably didn`t help. Had a nice £800 windfall to start the New year 🙂, very nice. Lurgy seems to be hanging around for a few of you, hopefully it will not last too long.

Have a good day and a great 2019 at least until Brexit arrives.
 
10:47 BS 9.3.:( Woke with a massive headache! Actually woke a few times during the night with a headache buy, WHY didn’t I think to test? Just went back to sleep!😱😳 Don’t feel like eating now so, had 6 units Novorapid & half an oatcake! Headache is beginning to recede! Did I go low in the night & wake with the hanover headache?🙄 Time to test after as well as before meals again. BUT, taste is back to normal & I’ll defrost & eat the lamb casserole I couldn’t eat when things were tasting SO intense!🙂

Good morning everyone!🙂 Sorry I can’t work up any more enthusiasm with a pounding headache!:confused:

Ugh, poor you, hope you feel better soon, not much you can do except wait for normality to reappear!

Thanks Robin, only just checking in here again lol, the lurgy has gone again but seen as my grandad has it back I don't know how long I'm free of it :(, levels are still high but as I have to wait 3 days between Tresiba adjustments it'll just take time, would've been due to up another unit a 2 nights ago but wasn't willing to risk it with the new years meal dose etc as it isn't 'normal' circumstances and at least doing it now things are back to normal I'll get a better idea of it's effect xx
 
Good morning
