Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning my lovelies! 🙂 Been struggling with this heat seen as my mums just fine so refuses to open a window :(

5.5 blood vs 5.1 scan, seems like since I attached the sensor my levels want to behave now! lol

I hope everyone has a lovely weekend whatever they are doing! :D xx
 
Morning all!

After the struggles I had yesterday with no basal, I’ll take a healthy 6.6 this morning, still within range and a fairly straight line on my Libre over night.

Out to enjoy the sunshine today, hope you all have a great weekend!
 
5.9 for me. Ditched the carbs, Interestingly, ditching them has not sent me hypo with the Gliclazide, I think we can all draw our own (it doesn’t work) conclusions from that. Back to VLC for me, the-world’s-biggest-chicken-but-not quite-a-turkey is now defrosting on the draining board.
 
Good morning folks.
Not a waking reading as I didn’t apply a new sensor yesterday and my old trusty one expired during the night , I just couldn’t be bothered to jab my finger when I opened my eyes earlier .4.9 on the finger. Have just applied a new sensor.
I hope you all have a good day and are able to take advantage of this lovely weather.
 
Morning all. A round 7.0 for me. The sun is shining, it’s a beautiful but busy day ahead I think.

My husband and I are going away for the weekend. He’s working till 6pm but I’m collecting him then heading off to our destination. A little village just outside Weston Super Mare. We are back Tuesday. I’ll still be active here. But before we go I have to get myself ready, pack the car, do some grocery shopping for our trip, drop my house key at my mums so she can pop in to feed the gecko while we are away and make sure our bins are put out, nip to tk maxx to make a return then drive to my hubby’s workplace.

We are staying in an air BnB. A beautiful flat this time rather than our usual secluded cottage but it’s somewhere to rest our weary bodies after long days of walking round nature reserves and towns!

Have a lovely day all.

5.8 is a very good number Lorraine, especially after missing your meds and that feast (well, in diabetes terms!) 🙂

I only ate the cheesy breadsticks with lots of lovely salad and 1/2 a wrap, I was being so good at resisting everything until the cheesy breadsticks entered the house, if only she hadn't remembered until she got home lol. Strange that I can resist cake and biscuits etc but not cheesy breadsticks they are so yummy.

Enjoy your weekend away, nice part of the country to be visiting.
 
Scary 5.1 this morning. Just dealt with symptoms as District Nurse arrived, trying to look OK and in control, can’t face hospital again, it’s full of people who enjoy the drama but don’t have too much wrong with them. They would not cope with what most of you deal with on a daily basis.
Hope you’re all enjoying your long weekend and have a great holiday @merrymunky xx

I hate hospital too, the competitive illing and constant demands drive me insane. And the visitors. Grrrrrr.

Apparently it drives the Doctors insane too ... “can you take me off the nebuliser, I need to go and have a fag” got almost as good a reaction as “I had to take the drugs and alcohol cos all my friends were”.
Hope we can all stay home and get on with life xx
 
I will never understand people with lung disease smoking, ever. It baffles me as much as the fact that loads of the nurses and HCPs up on the respiratory ward smoke too. It’s like watching diabetics mainlining Pick n Mix.
 
Good afternoon all, hope you’re all enjoying this fantastic weather 🙂. 3.4 for me this morning when I woke up. I managed to raise my bs to 6.8 before breakfast. Since I’ve recently been upgraded to Insight pump & cannula is small plastic tubing instead of needle, My delivery of insulin is much better. I think I need to carry out basal testing over the next few days.
 
03:54 BS 7.2. Umm!🙄 JUST about OK after indulging a bit yesterday with some Lindor mint & strawberry truffles: very nice combo!😛😳

Went to bed quite early yesterday so, up before the birdies this Easter Sunday morning!🙄 Yesterday was another beautiful day. The Cherry blossoms are NEARLY in full bloom so, will maybe check them out again later today or tomorrow. Last night was JUST a touch chillier though, because of the lack of cloud cover: cloud at night CAN be useful for keeping in the heat sometimes!🙄

A VERY early Good Morning to you all & fingers crossed for those of you indulging this Easter Sunday! Diabetes Fiary please be kind!🙄😛:D

7.8 for me today, after wine yesterday, that then led to eating a cupcake, slice of cake and then 3 pieces of the rocky road, all the things I had avoided the day before and can usually avoid, I only had the one glass of wine, then all reason went out the door. Oh well I feel rubbish this morning and won't have this type of temptation in the house again until grandsons birthday in July. More entertaining today, but that is a roast lamb meal done in the slow cooker. Although I was good for the whole of yesterday's BBQ, it was after we had cleared up and everyone gone home I thought I deserved a glass of wine, that led to the slippery slope of temptation. Any way up and going out running in about 15 minutes. Have a nice day everyone.

Soak your white handkerchief in water before knotting it and putting it on yer head, @Northerner.🙄😉

Morning all.🙂 8.1 here...didn’t need that pre-bed JB after all.🙄

Pembrokeshire is RAMMED! I can’t remember the last time I saw so many people enjoying themselves - the queue for the seafront chippy was out the door and round the corner at 6pm yesterday. Enjoy the weather, folks!:D
 
Morning all. Happy Easter!

A nice 6.3 for me which is brilliant considering the carb fest that was my tea last night. Sandwich, hot cross buns and crisps!! Oops.
