Group 7-day waking average?

Few days of excruciating headaches and weird vision signalled the Oncologists Christmas Eve prediction that my brain tumours are kicking off again. Reached for the steroids as ibuprofen and paracetamol had no effect and I am not often reduced to tears by the pain. So my day started on 10.6 (goodbye single figures) and finished on 25.6 (hello Humalog)
Had interesting appointment with lovely diabetic Dr this afternoon which ended in me telling him how I batch cook healthy meals from scratch using my slow cooker after he admitted to putting M&S meals in the microwave after work. Role reversal sprang to mind, especially as he didn’t really have any advice for managing my diabetes any better. At least he was taking an holistic view, not just trying to get my BG to 5!
Hope you get your accommodation issues resolved quickly @mikeyB
Good night folks xx
 
Hello all. 8.5 for me today.
Have a good day all

Mike I hope they get that lift sorted out once and for all this time.
 
Good morning . I hope you all have a good day.
I am all sensored up again 🙂 I sure missed all that additional info and my fingers are absolutely delighted :D
Woke to 7.1 :( on the knuckle, Libre stated 5.7 I hope it gets it act together today.
 
Morning all. 6.5 here. Last day of my Libre sensor, it’s been another good'un. Even if the Christmas week trace did look a bit like the Himalayas!

Goodness, Mike, I hope there aren’t any more chapters in the Man versus Lift saga.
 
08:09 BS 6.5. Yay!🙂 That’s more like it. Only got 2 more hours of sleep after coming back from GP yesterday but, apart from the initial headache upon waking I felt much better & it seems that I am indeed winning the battle at last. Even while awake during the rest of yesterday I was getting better with less pain & my face getting less numb! By the time I went to bed I felt so much better that I hoped I wouldn’t wake with a headache! But, not yet, it seems! Still woke with a headache but, with a much better figure & it’s receding as I stit in bed posting this! I’m definitely on the downslope of the mountain & the rest of the way is downhill! I won’t count myself completely off this mountain of struggle until I can wake up without a headache! But, I’m getting there!🙂

GOOD morning everyone & have a GREAT day!:D
 
Good morning 3.6 two Gluco Tabs 5.1 now 🙂.

Congratulations on HS @Flower 🙂, good luck with foot clinic.

Ahh @mikeyB local M.P. comes to mind, just a thought.

Take care everyone its a lovely day here, hope it is were you are 🙂.
 
Good morning pals 🙂

I woke with 5.9, after a decent flat line overnight. Mind you, I felt so knackered after the stairs episode yesterday I couldn’t be bothered to eat, so collateral damage was a fast. Nothing wrong with that, mind, nice basal check.🙂

Still haven’t had a reply from the housing association, but I’m not expecting much, to be honest. It seems they just won’t admit that it’s a bum lift. If they had specified an Otis or Schindler when the place was built, there wouldn’t be any problem. They just don’t break down.

I don’t know if the local MP will be any use, Karnak, It’s Nigel Evans, who is an ineffectual creep. I’ll discuss further action with my brother, who is a solicitor. The local press is much more effective shaming tool, so the threat of that might focus their minds.:confused:

I like a good argument😎

Anyway, have a good day everyone, I’m going to have one:D
 
So there I was, talking to the agent (who was on site for the weekly fire alarm test), discussing how frequently the lift broke down. She said she’d ring me after my trip into the village.

Never made it - couldn’t get out because the lift had broken down. She had just been trying it out, and she came upstairs to tell me it was broken again. She spotted me by the lift, in a darkening cloud of curses.

The HA, to their credit, are getting the chief engineer from the lift company to come and give an explanation, and will not let him escape until it’s all fixed. Don’t worry, I’m not holding my breath.

Mind you, if Mrs B runs out of gin, I can’t be held responsible for any injury or death.
 
01:29 BS 7.8. Ok ish since I went to bed on 7.3 at 20:37. Midnight alarm woke me up & it didnt hurt at all that I slipped back into sleep without noticing & next thing I know it was just past 01:00. So, sat up & had my Levemir & REALLY noticed! HEY! 😱 No pain! Quick check in bathroom mirror, face normal, felt both sides of my face & they feel equal! At last!:D Even just before bed last night, just after a hot bath, a bit too hot maybe, I was sweating profusedly on both sides of my face but, could only feel the coolness on the right: very odd sensation!🙄 Had to feel the left side just to check it WAS sweating!😱o_O

I can’t get back to sleep now & will finish off the other ham sandwich I couldn’t finish for dinner last night: made two & only ate one!🙂

May go back to sleep later but, in the meantime, while I’m awake:-

I wish you all a VERY early GOOD morning & a WONDERFUL day!:D😉

It’s been a hard mountain to climb but, I climbed up to the peak, went over it & came back down the other side!:(:confused:😱🙄o_O🙂😉:D😎
 
Lanny I am so pleased to hear you are recovering.
 
Good morning folks
Woke to a close to the knuckle 4.2 today. However after a wee and putting away some washing up I am now sitting at 6.8 with an upward slanting arrow and as you can imagine a steep incline on the graph 🙄
I’ll soon be fixing that though

Hope you all have a good day

Thank you and you too. Well done Lanny, you did it🙂 You're on the right road now to hopefully a full recovery. Good luck

Morning all and 5.3 for me.

I know I am lucky to have a reasonably interesting and reasonably paid job but these full length working weeks seem endless sometimes.

Have a good day everyone.
