Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 7.6 here. Haven’t been around much for the last couple of days as I’m trying to help daughter with her house purchase. The DF's cousin, the Conveyancing Fairy has been causing mischief and it’s all going pear shaped. Not doing a lot for my waking numbers, as I’m waking early and lying awake stressing!

Sorry to hear about your escapade in the night and your wrist, @KARNAK
 
Good morning folks . Lovely sunshine here and no breeze which is a bit of a miracle here.
Because I behaved myself last night much improved 6.7 when I woke up earlier. Sadly DP has reared it’s ugly head and I am now sitting a 8.7 which I am just about to sort out with my breakfast Novorapid.

I hope you all have a good day.
 
Morning all, a 9.2 for me today.
This time next week I'll be in Vegas (it will be just past midnight, but it's Vegas so I'll probably still be up!)
 
Good morning a 4.0 today.

@KARNAK what a frightening thing to happen, I hope you're managing alright. Thank goodness for your panic button. The waterproof cast protection is called a Limbo, there are other makes but this one works and lasts well.

Good luck today @merrymunky , I hope the visit goes well. 🙂

Fractures not mending in foot, amputation the only way out of my situation. I can't do that so a cast and hobbling is my path for now, really at a brick wall with managing this. I'm tempted to run away - when I say run I mean hobble whilst muttering to myself! :(

Morning all.🙂 A 5.7 on the Libre.😛

Good luck today @merrymunky. What age group do you teach?

Thank you, rain! Sweeping up after yesterday’s building work’ll be a lot easier - I was picturing clouds of dust coating my neighbour’s washline of whites (doesn’t she wear any other colours?!).🙄

Thank you. I’m scared! I work in a special school. I have a small class (12 pupils) of lower key stage 2 children, mostly on the autistic spectrum. I do have one year 8 boy too but in terms of ability he slots right in!

@Northerner They have been great so far. A supply teacher has been drafted in so hopefully there won’t be too much outstanding admin for me. I think it’s likely I will be back on a phased return and I may not even be teaching a class film time until September. I think it’s just about getting me back in the building and used to being around noise and chaos again as I’ve led a rather peaceful life since November. There is every chance I could have a meltdown at any given moment once I am back there working as my emotions are still raw and fragile. Who knows. I’ve put my big girl pants on ready to face today though.

I wish I could jack it all in. I’ve enjoyed doing what I want when I want. I’ve had lovely long walks. I don’t have that morning panic because I am not a morning person and struggle! If only I could stay home and earn the same wage!

Bugger. Wish it was better news for your foot flower. X
 
Go for it Merrymunky. 🙂
 
Good morning all, disappointing 13 for me. I’ve blood tests tomorrow and then Diabetic review next Friday. Not looking forward to blood test results. If this wasn’t enough I will receive my new insight pump next Wednesday . Who says Diabetics don’t live interesting lives . Have a great day everyone. I hope all goes well for you merrymunkey today .
 
Waking up the second time 10:38 BS 8.2. I did manage to drop back into sleep at some point & I’ll have lunch before I head off to the hospital to see my dietician & hopefully my DSN: couldn’t get hold of either of them yesterday!

I know from yesterday that 24 units Levemir wasn’t enough although, it meant I didn’t go low after lunch, as my readings after dinner were quite high. So, I’m cautiously going up to 26 units today since I’m up more than 2mmol before lunch than yesterday: 5.8 yesterday & 8.2 today. Will take my 1 remaining jelly baby & a bag of mini marshmallows. Silly numpty had my supermarket delivery a day earlier yesterday & forgot to get more jelly babies!

It will be a relief to get some advice.
 
Good morning, thanks for more kind words and advice.🙂 I`ll reply later, surgery rang Doc wants to see me so got to go, HS today.🙂

See you later take folks.🙂
 
Hi Ted@KARNAK, I hope all goes well for you today.
 
Hi folks seems the DF has got to grips with me, 7.1 at 13:00 just managed to test 17.8.😱 I hope everyone will forgive me for not responding individually for your kind words but right hand has turned a darker shade of blue, purple, black, etc. etc.🙄 Hope all your appointments went well, probably another painful silly night for me but hey ho still breathing, I think.:D More blood tests today, results on Friday, hope you all have a peaceful night thinking of you all, take care.🙂
 
Morning all. 🙂 A 3.8 for me, oops.

Had an appointment with the DSN at my new surgery yesterday. She was ever so posh! My A1c is still superglued at around 8% but my LDL cholesterol is almost back in range, yippee.😛

The only thing that annoyed me was her comment: “Are you sure you’re Type 1? Some people with Type 2 take insulin too, you know.” Eh?
 
Went for long walk last night and sitting up late. Hypo late so had toast and jam for speed. Dread to think what BG is this morning. Hope everyone is well as can be

GP yesterday and another fit note. Making progress though
