Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all Libre says lo after being in the red all night with intermittent gaps in readings. Fingerprick is a more reasonable 5.4.

Post cat feeding 4.2/4.9 may just have been sleeping on it. We shall see.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, 7.7 for me today.
 
12.5 this morning - why when I ate less carbs, did more exercise and took same steroids?

@mikeyB hope you get everything under control, I can’t quite get my head around the impact a few slices of pizza can have. Saying that some friends brought us in a fish n chip supper as we have no kitchen and, lovely as it was to eat, I found it a disastrous BG combination with steroids.

Happy Sunday peeps xx
 
5.9 this morning, but I tried some of my chocolate butter cream last night probably tried a bit too much, but no where near as much as before diagnosis, but aster I had tried it thought how sweet it was and how I couldn't eat loads of that now.

Have a nice Sunday everyone. I am hoping my surprise afternoon tea for my mum and dad works out to plan, but that depends on a ferry and the roads between Dover and Romford not being closed.
 
Morning all, 4.9 here. Another day, another botanic garden planned. The one yesterday was on a hillside, today’s project is described as Himalayan! Best take crampons. Oh, and it’s raining, but you can’t expect there to be lush subtropical gardens in the West of Scotland without the necessary climate.

Happy Sunday all, a wonderful 5.3 this morning and a day with friends planned. :D

Clearly praying to the diabetes gods pays off at times!
 
Good morning, gang🙂

All back to normal this morning. 5.6 on waking, straight line overnight from a 7.1 going to bed. That’s how it’s supposed to work, I suppose. Can’t get those exact same fingerprick levels, though. 5.5 according to that. I may well preserve the current sensor in aspic.:D

I was transported to the garden centre yesterday afternoon to get a few plants to stick in the boxes I got to hang from the balcony rail, so I’ll be potting those up this afternoon. I can do that sitting down. I thought I wouldn’t be able to get the plants - the garden centre is on a slight slope, so there are steps up from the entrance level. The very minute I arrived, the wheelchair lift stopped working - two of the garden centre workers were desperately ringing the service people. Not a problem, I just had to go out, get up the gentle slope outside and re enter. So that was the DFs cousin, the Disabilty Fairy. 😱

The Disabilty Fairy followed me home. When we reassembled my new wheelchair, the display wasn’t working. The wheelchair itself worked just fine, but no display. Working on the theory that somewhere in the machine was a mini computer, I did what everyone would do. A hard reboot. Unlocked the battery and lifted it out (it’s very light. Lithium). Plugged it back in, locked it in, and everything worked again. Not one of the Disability Fairy’s best efforts, I have to say.🙄

So that’s the three things. When you have one of those days, things always come in threes. So I know that things will go just fine for a while. Churchill knew that - Dunkirk, the Blitz, the Battle of Britain, and that’s why he could make those stirring speeches.

Anyway, with that uplifting thought, I hope everyone has a good day. If it’s not, have a good mither, knowing that it will get better. Always does🙂
 
Good morning 5.I🙂 congratulations on HS @Hazel🙂. Great to hear from you @Lanny had us worried for a while,🙄 a bit of hit and miss yesterday up to 13.8 for no apparent reason back down to 4.8 just before Liverpool Tottenham match. Glad things have settled down @mikeyB lifts whould have `em?🙄

Hope your day gets better @Kaylz, Bruce needs a kick up the bum, arse, ass whatever suits.😎

Second day of air show, stayed on balcony all day yesterday topped up the sun tan as the song goes and I`m feeling bum bum red/glad all over baby bum bum red/glad all over.:D

Just had a down pour steam coming off of the ground.😎 stay safe folks enjoy your day.🙂
 
Good morning all. 6.5 here today. It’s the last day of half term so I am planning to enjoy a lazy day before the chaos of work begins again tomorrow.

Hope you are all well. Happy Sunday!
 
Lazy day or mark the last few papers???!!! (Not needed until Thursday) Mmmm it’s 29.9 degrees in sunny Norfolk. Think lazy day may win out.

7.1 this morning. Lovely straight line all night on the libre which is reading almost spot on AND absolutely no itching, redness or mark left with the last 2 but now I seem to be rising for no reason - the heat maybe?

Hope everyone is having a good day.
 
Today 7.1 before food this morning. 6.5 before lunch. I managed to plant runner beans and some more leafy greens before the rains. Its turned cooler so time for hot bath I think. 🙂
