Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 6.4 here. I have my diabetic eye screening later this morning. Not really looking forward to it!
Take your sunglasses with you as it’s bound to be bright sunshine when you come out.
I hope all is fine.
 
Good morning all, 4.8 for me this morning. I think one is in need of breakfast :D. Enjoy the rest of your day everyone 🙂.

Try not to worry about it, it doesn't hurt but as others have said take sunglasses for afterwards, my last test in March was at 2pm and I was still wearing my sunglasses in doors when I went to bed.
 
Morning all, late signing in as it’s a busy old house this morning. I seem to have developed a horrible habit of waking very early, around 5-5.30am. It had better not be a sign of impending old age! Anyway, horribly early waking test was 7.5.

Have a good day all, may all tests go well, and everyone who’s struggling have a decent, pain free one. I am looking forward to my horrible neighbours’ reactions when they discover that my new fence is being put up along the true fence line, which means the old one, which has been thoroughly trashed and pulled out of line by their nasty ivy, will be staying put, and they can take it down themselves. They were so rude to the man putting up the last panels that he point blank refused to step onto their land to take the old one down. Tough luck, shouldn’t be so weird and rude. 😉🙂😛
 
I always wake up at that time! 😱
Have you always done so? I seem to have switched from being the proverbial owl to a highly reluctant lark. I like my bed, I don’t want to be wide awake when I could be comfortably asleep for a good few more hours!

I feel like I have wasted half the day if I'm still in bed at 6 am 🙂 I'm always knackered by early evening though! 😱
 
Evening all. 8.0 for me this morning, early as usual. 🙂 Bit of rain today, unusual nowadays.
 
05:57 BS 4.5. That's the lowest waking figure I've ever had! Shock emoji!

At last the stormy weather has passed & although the sun hasn't risen yet, there's birdsong outside my bedroom window!.🙂

An early good morning to you all & may you be sunny on the inside no matter the weather on the outside!😉 The Easter weekend is coming up at the end of the week!🙄
 
Good early morning. 7.8 for me. Off to Edinburgh looking for dress fabric for a dress for a 50th wedding re whotsit of vows. Going to be a lot of walking and chatting, plus lunch and a sleep on bus coming home lol
 
Morning all and a splendidly dull 5.6 for me.

Today's battle is going to be seeing if I can find out what's happening with my Creon prescription.

Have a good day everyone.
I hope you’ve that sorted quickly without too much hassle.
 
Good morning folks . Was only 4.8 at bedtime so had half a slice of buttered wholemeal bread and turned in. I woke up to 6.8, my graph however shows I quite quickly attained lower 9s 😡 stayed there for a long time before a slow drop . I hope to figure out this diabetes lark one day :D

Had a new washing machine installed on Monday , got them coming back today to level it up as it is well off true and a bit rocky. Some folks just don’t seem to take pride in their work anymore. I nearly laughed out loud when my 93 year old dad said he’d do it himself , I said no I’ll get them back, don’t get me wrong I have no doubts about his ability or mine for that matter to level it and lock the adjustable feet, it’s the getting back up off the floor afterwards that’s the problem for us.

Hope you all have a good day.
 
Morning lovelies, 7.9 for me.

A question, if I normally have breakfast when I take my meds at 7am, what do I do about this waking up horribly early thing? Meds have to be taken then, with food, as they have to be taken 12 hours apart and a certain time before bedtime. Breakfast when I wake, then small protein laden snack with meds?
 
Morning all.🙂 8.8 here...and that’s after a correction dose at 5a.m....who knows?!🙄

Final day of Welsh course. It’s been bendigedig! We’re having such a laugh we don’t realise we’re learning, hahaha. Test this morning. Prize: Easter egg / wy Pasg. Wish me luck!😛
