Group 7-day waking average?

A 6.4 at 6am, went back to bed as felt rotten, Mr Eggy brought me a bit of toast at 7am, which I struggled with, BGs 7.2. Got appointment at docs at 9.45, this is more than a cold. Have a good day everyone.
Hope the doc can sort you out with something @eggyg, get well soon! 🙂 Very frustrating when the weather is so beautiful :(

The reason this cold has affected you badly is probably because it’s a foreigner, if it started after your recent expedition south. Otherwise, because you build up immunity to local cold viruses, which stick to your home area, that immunity is running down. It only lasts around 5 years. It’s nowt to do with diabetes, even if it does play bouncy bouncy with your BGs.

Hope the doc can bring you some relief. Sounds like you’ve got a secondary bacterial infection, so antibiotics might mend thing. Fingers crossed🙂
 
Good morning folks🙂

Last warm day today. Nice and sunny. I woke up on 8.0, as usual after a straight line in range, so back to normal.

Nearly got creamed yesterday going round the roundabout in the village. Due to a person of the female persuasion not looking at my indicators as I did a U turn to get to the front of the co-op. First emergency stop on the chariot. First curses of the day, but no trouser change needed. :confused:

Lots of cyclists about. I greeted one group with a shout of “Go electric, it’s the future” which elecited cries of “Cheat, cheat”. I love Lancashire folk:D

Right, I’m off for a shave and shower, turn human and have a final lunch on the balcony till June.😎

Have a good day everyone. Every day is a good day if you are upright and breathing, it’s a great way to start the day🙂

Back from docs, chest clear thank goodness, she reckons the pain I’m getting is just from coughing so much. I’m a bit paranoid after having pleurisy twice. She said there are some pretty bad viruses going around at the moment and can last up to 14 days! So paracetamol, plenty of fluids and rest was the prescription.
 
Good morning 7.1 on another fine day.🙂 Just got back from Docs no extra tablets🙂 but another referral to the hospital.🙄

Get well soon @eggyg🙂 I`m glad the Doc put your mind at rest but it don`t stop you feeling c**p.:(

Dentist then at 4 pm.

Good luck with Dentist @Carolg.🙄

Enjoy the sunshine while you can but enjoy life as best as you can.🙂
 
7.2 this morning. Better than yesterday.have woken up with a thumping headache though.
 
A 7.4 for me on this cooler cloudier morning. Back to normal today ( the weather that is), had a reasonable sleep, not too much coughing , I also have a splitting headache @merrymunky, think it’s because I’m sleeping propped up with three pillows which isn’t doing my neck any good, resulting in the headache! Can’t catch a break! I’m hoping for improvement in how I generally feel today, fingers crossed. Have a wonderful day. 🙂

Good news Eggyg. Take care and rest as well
 
Good morning 🙂 6.3 for me today, after a 10.5 last night (errant plain chocolate Bounty 😱) - good job I didn't do a correction 😱 🙂

Hope all goes well today @Carolg 🙂
Thanks Northerner. Bit apprehensive about OH telephone consultation,so will read over questions my manager has asked.. dentist then will be a dawdle
 
Morning all. 5.8 for me today. Had a bouncing headache yesterday. Wonder if it is a bit of a virus going around, or not drinking enough

:D:D:D Ohhh! That’s the way to do it, is it? Have an errant dark chocolate bounty with a BS of 10.5 before bed & wake with a BS of 6.3!🙄😛😎

Got it: the diabetes fairy MUST have been frustrated!😉
 
08:17 BS 8.1. Very cold last night & my whole body was aching & creaking. So, gave in & had the heater set to 19c the whole night! AND, like magic, my knees & fingers stopped creaking: rheumatic, arthritic pain can’t handle cold temperatures. Slept like a baby after I warmed up!🙂

Ground frost this morning as I picked up my post!🙄

Armpit is more or less healed & did a few arm stretches in bed: discovered I can do the same stretches in the bathtub by sliding further down the bed & digging in my backside into the mattress as I lift the arm towards the headboard; it’s much harder as I lying straighter & flatter!😱

No more gabbing! I’m off to brekkie now!😉 Have a wonderful day everyone!:D
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I woke up on 3.8, but as that didn’t come accompanied by a downward arrow, it was a good excuse for choccie digestives with the morning extra strength Americano.🙄

Anyway, it’s great today, the weather is back to normal, so it’s back into pullover and gloves when I pop down into the village for a few supplies. The only pity is there’s no excuse for wearing the cool mirrored RayBans that I wear to prove that I’m a complete d***head poser.:D

So, what shall we worry about today? Brexit? Climate change? Trump and Kim posturing? No, none of them. Worry about India and Pakistan throwing bombs at each other in Kashmir. If that goes tits up, these are nuclear armed countries. First to blink could slaughter millions. First World War started with one man shooting a prince and his missus, before historical alliances came into play. So worry about Armageddon. :confused:

Or don’t worry. I never worry about anything I can’t do anything about.🙂

Erm...have a good day, folks🙂
