Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 7.4 here. A dark and gloomy morning here too. Not quite as cold, thankfully, the tulips have only just staggered back upright after keeling over in the sharp frost yesterday morning, and I was worried about the plum blossom.
 
Morning everybody. A disappointing 7.4 this morning, I ate well yesterday. No snacks and walked 7 miles! Yesterday I woke on a 5.8 and had eaten total and utter c**p the day and sat on my butt all day on buses, planes and cars! It’s a mystery! Ah well today is another day. I’ve managed a quick catch up so firstly Ted @KARNAK I thought I told you to stay upright! What you like, no wonder I’m going grey, hope you’re feeling better soon. @merrymunky just wanted to say hope you’re feeling a little better everyday, last week must have been tough. @Stitch147 have an amazballs holiday it sounds fantastic, ( do the stars and stripes thing!) @Flower big hugs. Anyone else who has had appointments whilst I’ve been away hope that everything went well. Have a good day. 🙂
 
Morning all from a very grey Hamburg.
5.3 and a lovely flat line despite indulging in that German delicacy Curry Wurst at midnight. I think it's best enjoyed after rather more than the solitary beer I had.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Hmmmm 7.9 this morning.
 
09:16 BS 8.0. Umm!o_O Ok ish! I think, now, that the slightly too high midday Levemir impacted a bit on the morning figure yesterday & yesterday’s correct midday dose means it’s a bit higher this morning, I think?:confused:🙄

Yesterday was a brightish, greyish day that rained heavily all day: huge puddles around each drain around the house collecting the rain from the roof; didn’t see but, I know there’ll be a lake right across the whole lane where the drainage is!😱

Yesterday BS was very easy on the nerves & the highest was a 9 in the evening. I hope today is more of the same despite the higher start!🙂

Today is the same bright grey but, as yet, no rain!🙄

Have a wonderful day everyone!😉
 
I'm very surprised they didn't simply send you a replacement, is your other meter a different brand? Normally they are keen to keep you using their strips :(
Hi Northerner, my bs meter same brand so I don’t know why my DSN has to contact Accu-Chek for me to receive new meter. Thankfully I remember my carb ratios and correction dose ratios so I can work out manually how much insulin I need to take. Can’t wait until next Wednesday when I receive my new insulin pump & meter .
 
Good morning 8.3 after using 6 lancets trying to get blood out my fingers,😡 not easy using one hand. Phoned the DSN who is leaving a different meter for me at the hospital, we`ll see how it goes.🙂

Have a great time @Stitch147.🙂

Sorry @eggyg I knew I would get told off when you got back.:( Hope you enjoyed your holiday.🙂

Hope you all have a good day folks.🙂
 
Afternoon all. 7.8 this morning. I always wonder though how high it shot up and then came back down? It's all the peaks and troughs that cause the trouble. I need to get on a liquid diet and eschew food altogether I think.
 
Morning all, an 8.7 for me today.
 
Morning all.🙂 9.0 here...oops, 2 Thornton’s dark chocolates before bed were 2 chocs too many!🙄

I hope we get some sneaky sunshine later. I want to carry on razing our garden-jungle to the ground.😛
 
Morning all. 6.6 for me and just beginning to come round - was really rough when I woke up an hour or more ago. Went to bed on a 4.4 and a couple of oat biscuts and cheese. Goodness knows what went on in the night.
 
I hope you are all right and just taking a bit of a break. @mikeyB.
 
Good morning folks . It’s another sunny morning here and only the gentlest of breezes, which is rather nice.
Woke to 4.4 on the Libre which has been a real gud un and sadly about to expire in an hour.

Hope you all have a food day
