Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone🙂

I woke up with 7.8, after going to bed on 6.1, so I expect that’s just the liver winding up for the getting out of bed adventure.🙄

Now I’m full up with caffeine and vaped nicotine, so I’m ready to face the chill and the challenges of the day. Today the challenge is taking the rubbish down to the bin store. It is a challenge actually, when you activate the unlock gizmo, you only have ten seconds to open the door. Outwards. Tricky in a wheelchair.:D

I hope everyone who is interacting with hospital specialists have positive outcomes; remember, you can take positives out of anything. I do, keeps you cheerful🙂

Have a good day folks, and don’t worry, it’ll soon be summer so you can moan about the heat:D

Good morning all, bit nippy here in Sale. 8.1 @ 7.01am for me.

Watched an episode of Endeavour, some demonic nurse killing everybody off with insulin! 😱 'They' said that the experts didn't know why hypoglycemia causes death. Is this because the series is set in the 50s/60s, do the experts know now? Just wondered.

I think that sounds like dramatic license, way back in the 1920s hypoglycaemia was first 'discovered' when the rabbits being used in testing died when given too much insulin - until then it had been unknown 😱
 
06:23 BS 5.0. :D It seems that I’m getting up a bit layer now so, quite pleased with that reading! 🙄

It’s very gloomy here too: rain is highly likely!🙄 It’s a wee bit chilly too!

I’m in need of a hot breakfast so, beans on toast it is: it’s the closest I have to a fry up now since eggs, bacon etc. are a no no for me! Incidentally, I had a beef steak for lunch yesterday & I DID’NT like the taste of the beef fat & could barely finish it: one of the two still left in the freezer; paid for it too with a trip to the bathroom a few hours later!😱

I wish you all a Good Morning & some sunshine on the inside if the sun is hiding today on the outside!😉
 
Morning all and a 5.1 for me.

Changed split bolus ratios and timings last night and much better numbers. So much easier to do with the Libre.

The wonderful world of regression testing and system upgrades beckons once again so have a good day everyone.

Morning all, 3.9 here, oops! It’ll be all the walking I did at Badminton yesterday afternoon. Was unamused in the morning to spend 2 hours stuck in a crawling queue of traffic to get in. I expected some delay, it is a big event. Last time we queued for half an hour, so we’d allowed an hour this time. But by the time we got in we'd missed the first hour of the cross country, when all the well known riders who were entering two horses went on their first round.:(

You weren’t tempted by the crepes on the way round then? Did you predict the winner?
 
14.7 for me this cold and wet morning. Yesterday was my birthday but also chemo day so I’m currently under the duvet sipping water and trying to figure out what I can eat in order to mop up the meds and insulin.
Stay warm and dry everyone xx
 
Morning all.🙂 9.9 here...not unhappy with this figure...pancreas must’ve spluttered into action yesterday cos I kept on going low all evening...ever tried to speak Welsh on an empty brain, hahaha?😱🙄

Hope you can shake off the lurgy asap @Flower. Under the duvet is the best place today @Tickledpinknot.
 
Good morning all 🙂

6.5 for me on this awful looking day, glad I've not got to go out today that's for sure!

Will however have to phone the health centre again to see if I will be getting a new pen as even though I told the receptionist it wasn't actually down on my repeat form she still made me use the repeat prescription automated line for it, I can tell you I'm not happy with them after yesterdays goings on! :(

Hope everyone has a nice day and keep warm my lovelies! :D xx
 
Morning on another wet miserable day, it’s quite dark! 6.6 for me, at 10.30 last night I was 4.9! Seriously over bolused for my Dauphinois potatoes. I had one and half dark chocolate digestives, Mr Eggy kindly finished the other half, 15grms carbs. Too much? Have a nice day. 🙂
 
Been up an hour, had a coffee and 6.2, not too bad me thinks

Good morning it’s a midweek 8.4 for me after a raspberry Jaffa cake before bed -purely for scientific research- the result is I prefer orange ones and my blood sugar prefers neither! 🙂

I hope things start to settle for you @Tickledpinknot 🙂

Oh dear, sorry to hear that but it did make me giggle, first laugh of the day x
 
Good morning 5.8 on another overcast and windy day.🙄 Have got feet review tomorrow so will be late onboard, hopefully no problems but right foot feels a lot warmer than left.🙂 Had Haircut yesterday No. 3 all over, felt the difference after out in the fresh air, good job I had my hat.🙂

Have a good day folks, stay warm and safe.🙂

No3 that is a summer cut for my hubby, far too cold for that at the moment.
 
Morning everyone.

Not my usual self this morning. Just had some terrible news. One of my best mates on Mull, the Rev Johnny Paton, has been found dead on a mountain he was climbing near Ullapool. Didn’t fall, was probably a heart attack. Just 60. He conducted daughter’s wedding at Duart Castle. Lovely man with a great sense of humour. His wife Cathy must be devastated, as will the whole of North Mull.

I was 8.3 this morning. Bolus error last evening I suppose.
