Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, a more normal 7.7 for me today. Have no idea why, didn't do anything different yesterday.
 
Thanks Carol and all, BGL has been very stable today see how the night progresses. Fancy a laugh? I have a very expensive pair of suede shoes, sat in my local club and said friend sat opposite says what`s wrong with your shoes? Looking down the complete sole had departed from the shoe, so the shoe was still on my foot but the sole was making its way to the bar. The crowd was in hysterics, me another beer please🙄.
Sounds like my son’s socks. I am sure he used to try to train them to snake along the floor to laundry basket, but they resisted always
 
I like Lisa Allen she seems really down to earth. The most famous person I have seen in a public place was Gregor Fisher ( Rab C Nesbitt) in Tesco, he asked me if I knew where the red current sauce was, I was only doing my shopping I didn’t work there! He spoke quite posh funnily enough! Glad you got through the day, sort of, we have grandson’s birthday tomorrow and going to Pizza Hut, oh joy! I hate pizza! Hope you’re not too kn*****ed tomorrow! 🙂
Good morning 🙂 6.4 for me today after a largely sleepless night - woke around 2:30 and then couldn't get back to sleep. It's usually an indication that there's something major I need to change about my life, so now have to work out what it is. Would have stayed in bed but have an early eye appointment at the hospital - hope they are not looking too bleary! Wish me luck! 🙂
Good luck at hospital today
 
Good morning all. 7.6 for me today, and no hypos yesterday.
Have a good day all
 
Happy Monday friends.
I didn't sleep a darn wink again last night so about 4am I raided the food cupboard ~ just because...........and found two lonely weetabix pleading to be eaten ~ and a slice of toast with an itsy bitsy smither of chunky marmalade ~ washed down with a mug of decaf tea ~ hence a 9.0 :( for me today @ 8.15am. Confession over🙄

Hope everyone has a good week. Take care.

Aww sorry you didn't get much sleep Northie😡 Join the Zombi Club!! Once the Levothyroxine kicks in you should begin to sleep better. Well if it's a change you're needing then why not hop on a Cruise Ship and take a 6months trip round the world holiday?! :D
Good luck with your eye appointment. Keep us in the loop.

Afternoon all from a very stormy Cheshire border! Blowing a flipping gale out there.

My numbers for this week:
Mon 8.9 @ 7.27
Tue 8.3 @ 7.19
Wed 7.1 @ 6.03
Thu 7.6 @ 9.30
Fri 7.5 @ 9.08
Sat 7.6 @ 6.23
Sun 7.5 @ 6.14 🙂

Low carb is obviously the way for me to go. Have a good Sunday all. Enjoy the pictures. I liked Harold Lloyd too as well as all them others. My fave Laurel & Hardy was the missing jigsaw piece. :D
Good numbers there Ditto ~ they're gradually coming down. At this rate you'll soon be back in the 6's & 5's so keep up the good work. It's not easy but you WILL get there with patience and determination.🙂

06:58 BS 6.6.🙂 Slept a bit more yesterday & for longer so, only ate twice: chicken soup & ham sandwiches. Been eating than a lot this week as it’s quick & easy: heat tin of tesco soup & make the sandwich! Applying ice packs works a treat & swelling is kept to a minimum without any drugs, topical or ingested!🙂 BS stayed in the 6-7 range too!🙂

Will have last can of chicken soup & buttered toast for breakfast before weekly grocery delivery: more soup &, just for a change, wafer thin beef for sandwiches!😛

It’s the start of a new week & I hope you all start it as well as you can!🙂 Good morning everyone & have a great day!:D
Thank you and good morning to you too, Have you tried making your own soup Lanny? I make my own thick veggie soup with either chicken or cooked ham. Everything goes in the pot and it lasts me up to three days ~ so much tastier than tinned soup and it's filling too. Just a thought.

Good morning gang🙂 - and good luck at the hospital Northie.

Hospital appointments always cause worries, so that accounts for your sleep disturbance - high alert levels.🙄

I woke up on 5.5, which is the only thing right this morning. Had to use CBD oil to stand up - left leg wouldn’t straighten, kept springing back. Still, expected that after yesterday’s adventures. Didn’t expect that 5.5, mind🙂

Anyway, I said I’d suffer in silence, so I’ll stop moaning.

I see the EU is offering the Maybot an extension of Article 50 if she wants. That’ll have a few rich tories having hissy fits. So we can watch people who are supposed to be running the country shouting at each other for another 6 months of no government. I can’t bear the excitement.:confused:

Have a good day everyone, only another couple of days then it’s nearly the weekend🙂
 
9.2 for me today, after a bad day yesterday, that included a hot cross bun, bag of crisps and a small bag of haribos. I just could not help myself following a difficult week, my mum in law died last Monday and breaking the news to my daughter was horrendous, Sat we went round and helped my father in law sort some bits out and on Sunday I was just in a sod it all mood. Anyway Father in law has chosen Diabetes UK as the Charity that he would like donations to go to. I am just hoping this week is an improvement on last week.
 
Good morning 3.2 at this rate if I reduce dosage anymore, I`ll be injecting fresh air 🙄.

Good luck @Northerner a smile to take with you 🙂.

So sorry for your loss @Grannylorraine never an easy time. Thinking of you and your family.
Take em back Ted ~ you don't pay good money for the darn things to fall apart!😱

Afraid shop has closed down @wirralass I wonder why? 🙄.
Nice HS @khskel well judged 🙂.

Enjoy your day all.

I’ve made lots of my own soups before but, I just fancied the TASTE of a rich creamy tinned chicken soup! Of course Heinz is the best, I think, but, tesco is pretty good too at a fraction of the cost & asda’s is awful! Campbells has just never been the same since they were bought by bachelors some time ago & the recipe changed! In Hong Kong there’s a much bigger range of flavours than here as it’s VERY popular there: ultimate lazy soup that keeps in cupboards for people to stockpile for when typhoons hit in the summer; dump can in bowl, boil the kettle & add water to the consistency or flavour you like! It’s comfort food that makes me happy; like jelly or creamy mashed potatoes!😛

I’m so sorry, @Grannylorraine :( My condolences to you, your daughter & your family! Words can be SO inadequate & a simple touch conveys SO much more! So, a rare hug from me! I’m not usually a hugger! Thinking of you.

Lanny
 
Oh dear, @KARNAK, it seems you’re taking time to find what’s right for you overnight!:( Maybe try peanut butter on anything you like to keep you at a safe level overnight until you find the solution: the slight elevation in BS in the morning when you DO get it right is easily dealt with & you won’t need it anymore.🙄
 
Thanks Lanny hope you are feeling better and your control is gaining momentum. Might not be around for a few days, apparently right foot is broken, metacrapscules I think, if not bones in the foot. Got to have some form of boot , ski, sledge to make me walk better, what`s wrong with beer? Hope you have a peaceful night as everyone else, take care.
