Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all. 8.0 for me today, bit higher but it's because I pigged out on peaches and plums at bed-time last night. I don't usually eat fruit on Atkins, but I just felt the need. I think I was thirsty really but it was very enjoyable, my fave fruits are peaches, plums and nectarines.

Have a good day all. Torrential here so I'm staying in.
 
At last! A nice 5.5 today, after days of higher numbers - possibly because my knee has taken quite a time to recover (from falling down the stairs at our tube station), so I've not been able to exercise. That, and finishing off the leftover Christmas bits & pieces.... 😳

Yeah right, you got more chance of winning the pools :D.

Good morning another low 2.8 🙄 still winding dial down, has anyone got a pen with minus readings?o_O

Have a good day folks o_O.
 
Good morning gang 🙂

Had another nice long sleep last night, and a nice flat line overnight in the 4 to 5 range, woke up to 7.0. Just enough energy to get out of bed. Ta, liver🙂

Today is the day when the lift is supposed to be repaired. I don’t see anyone here yet, and the HA (housing association) haven’t returned my call yesterday asking for a firm update. Oh dear. They’ve got the chain of responsibility wrong - they say they are at the mercy of the lift company, but it’s actually t’other way about.

So, a multi phone call day today. Line in the sand time. First off, I think I’ll email my MP. That’s Nigel Evans, who is diametrically opposite to me politically, and probably a bit busy, but he’s actually quite a good constituency MP.

Kick off time is midday, with another call to HA. All else comes after that. In between times, I’ll either watch dummies being thrown across the Commons chamber, or the snooker. Prob the snooker, it’s more exciting.

Have a good day everyone.🙂

Like I said Ted, listen to the docs. If their advice is to limit activity, get a carry out. If it’s to exercise within your limits, fair enough.

A pint or two and a blether is important, but not if it goes against orthopaedic advice. If it doesn’t, more power to your elbow🙂
 
By the way, Bloden, if it’s a new oven and it won’t switch on, you’ve probably activated a safety lock. These can usually be switched off by a prolonged press of the on switch. Mind you, if it is a new oven you should have got a self cleaning oven like I did. Keeps the cleaner’s bill down.😉
 
Update on lift: part will arrive on Friday. It’s coming from Greece.

Should have guessed, the thing only bloody works in the summer.😡

Heed what you say Mike, back up to fracture clinic tomorrow so sensible head on today. A bit of Greek music and maybe a dash of Metaxa, Ouzo, Retsina plus VAT will calm the nerves if any left in my foot, cup of tea is doing ok :D.

What a hassle. The poxy Fred Trump-wannabe who developed my building somehow got a cheap second-hand lift from Sweden to install in it. This would shut down whenever the temp got to 36C; not ideal behaviour for an Oz summer. Eventually under various legal & bodily threats the developer had somebody give it a brain transplant.

Oh heck Mike. It really isn’t good enough.
 
Good morning folks. Had a restless night and been up a while. Only just tested , 9.0 😱 with a slanted down arrow , which with this sensor means I’m a smidgen under 10 if I bodged a finger, which I will do later on.

Hope you all have a good day with good numbers.
 
05:42 BS 4.9.🙂😱:confused: STILL need to dial Levemir back?🙄 Or am I too afraid of these much lower waking numbers? NEVER been so low before!😱

Yesterday was a day of reductions, basal & bolus. Started the day on BS 5.0 & ended on 5.5!🙂 Dialled back midnight Levemir to 14 units at midnight & will dial it back to 30 units at midday. Will dial back Novorapid to 10 units today & see how the day goes!🙄

It's the annual chore of filing income tax returns before the deadline at the end of Jan. again!:( And it's NOT something I enjoy!😱 At least this time I'm not so afraid of going hypo when leaving the house as I was this time last year!:confused: I'm low but, stable, BS wise!🙄🙂

Have a good day everyone & try NOT to get too stressed out if you're filing your tax returns, like me!😉

Morning all you early risers. A, bit high for me, 7.4 today. Went to bed on an unexplainable 8.5- 9.3, no naughty treats after tea. Was 4.3 at 6 o’clock was having curry, rice and 1 chapati. 60 grams of carbs, and a meal I know like the back of my hand. Normally would dial up 6 units for that, but went for a 1/15 ratio as didn't want to be too low before bed. At 10.30 was 9.3, washed hands again, used another finger, 8.5! Hmmmm....ah well, another day of babysitting again, I am exhausted. Roll on tomorrow for a rest. Have a fab day, hope it’s not too icy where you are, our cold start hasn’t materialised. Shame, I love a crisp frosty morning.🙂
