Group 7-day waking average?

[eggyg]

Morning all. A reasonable 6.4 on this lovely morning. Was a grand drying day yesterday for my 3 duvet covers, 8 pillow cases and 6 sheets and today is looking the same but no washing today thank you very much! Off to opticians early doors for my 6 monthly re check after my shock test in December, where it was discovered I had retinal bleeds, cataracts and the start of macular degeneration. I know they won’t be better but I’ll be happy with stable. Fingers crossed for me please. Have a terrific Tuesday and hopefully it won’t rain too much for you. 🙂

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you 🙂 I had a similar appointment last year - went in for retinopathy check and came out with glaucoma and cataracts as well! 😱 🙄 Stable is good 🙂

5.7 for me this morning after an evening of pure naughtiness. I was feeling low yesterday for some reason, kept wanting to cry at work (no issues with my work, just kept feeling tearful), get home to watch my hubby eating his chocolates he got for Fathers day, I felt very deprived at this moment, doesn't usually bother me watching hubby and son eat things I can't. Hubby then had a huge chunk of Tiger bread, I go to get my my sunflower seeds out of the cupboard to find I have to move 2 packets of chocolate biscuits and a box of Ritz crackers out of the way first. The ice-cream man comes round, hubby immediately says to son, want an ice-cream (again doesn't usually bother me), to which I shouted out, no one is having an ice-cream if I can't have one (just like a toddler throwing a tantrum), anyway hubby let me have a small size 99, then I ate 2 of his chocolate biscuits and 4 squares of my 75% cocoa cooking chocolate in protest. Not sure who I was protesting against as the only one it will affect is my bg levels and my weight loss. I have logged all this in my food diary together with how I was feeling. I was surprised I only went up from 5.3 to 6.4 (I had only tested post dinner about 30 mins before eating the ice-cream/protest binge).

Still feeling tearful today, have to have a blood test that is light sensitive (whatever that means), no idea which of the things to be tested it is, anyway don't feel quite so deprived today, but guessing the feeling deprived is linked into the feeling tearful.

Sorry didn't mean to write an essay.

I think this is part of the normal ups and downs Lorraine - I feel like this too from time to time, although I don't have so many 'in your face' forbidden fruits to deal with. It's good to hear that your body coped well with the extra carbs, it's possible that your body was actually signalling that your levels have been a little low just lately - not always easy to discern from a few fingerpricks. I hope that you feel much stronger soon 🙂

Good morning gang🙂

Getting a lot of dead straight lines overnight, so that’s the Levemir sorted. Woke up on 8.2, due partly to last night’s curry taking a sluggish path through my gut, and me not giving myself quite enough correction before bed. How very tedious.🙄

Tremendous cricket game yesterday. Bangladesh best West Indies. Chased down 322 with nearly six overs to spare. England play Afghanistan today at Old Trafford. Don’t think there’ll be an upset there, though.😎

Anyway, thought I’d mention a book I’m reading at the moment. Sunfall, by Jim Al Khalili (one of TV’s go to scientists). It is science fiction, but a horribly believable extinction threat, nothing to do with global warming, just solid science. One way we all might get extincted that had never occurred to me. You don’t have to read it, I’m certain it will be optioned for film or TV rights.

So, I’m all set up with an eye watering strength Americano heading for a good day slobbing around, puffing on my e-Pipe. I’m sure all you can think of healthier things to do, so do it🙂

Thanks for the recommendation Mike, he's one of my favourite science presenters (although not quite as attractive as Alice Roberts 😉)

Late on parade this morning, following a very late night and a late meal

So, 6.5 this morning

I love watching his science programmes on BBC 3 or 4, nowadays!🙂

Morning all 6.3 this morning 🙂 Wishing all a great day

I grew aubergines outdoors last year as well as in the poly tunnel but doubt we will have such a fantastic summer that they would so well this year.... certainly not looking like it at the moment! Poly tunnels are pretty cheap and easy to build if you fancied going that route and work amazingly well.

ha ha I have thought about making my entire garden into a pollytunnel but opted for a greenhouse at the bottom of garden instead.
Wow did you have many aubergines on last years crop rebrascora? I got one only, I love the flowers on the aubergine plant though 🙂

@mikeyB I am growing all in a green house at the moment. I have a courgette plant wanting to be planted out soon, but its just not warm enough for it at the moment. not sure if that is going to make it either, its been in and out of the greenhouse trying to harden off for weeks now.

Well, just got call from GP & some good & some not quite so good news! The low fat diet I’ve been on since end of March/start of April has only made a little dent on the overall Cholesterol from 7.55 in March to 7.2 but, the triglycerides have gone down from 4.25 to 3.00. GP, different from my named GP that referred me, asked about any word from gastrointestinal team & said best keep off the statins until I’m seen by them! And still need to keep an eye on things with 6-8 weeks blood tests!

Now will eat lunch & have Levemir & meds after waiting for call! 🙂

Sorry to hear it was not totally good news, it is difficult when dealing when more than just the diabetes. Hope you get the call soon.

I was warned it’s a long waiting list for the gastrointestinal team at the hospital! 🙄

@mikeyB I am growing all in a green house at the moment. I have a courgette plant wanting to be planted out soon, but its just not warm enough for it at the moment. not sure if that is going to make it either, its been in and out of the greenhouse trying to harden off for weeks now.

I got quite a few from the poly tunnel ones but I planted the outdoor ones in the same bed as my courgettes and I really didn't leave enough space and the courgettes turned into triffids and crowded them out but I still got a couple of aubergines on the outdoor plants. They would have done a lot better in a more spacious open spot, but there seemed like loads of room when I first planted them out and I got masses of courgettes and of course the odd obligatory marrow that somehow hid when I was harvesting. It's funny how, no matter how thorough you are harvesting courgettes there are always at least a couple that you miss and turn into monsters!

Anyway, I scored a 7.7 this morning which considering I had less than 3hrs sleep and was anxious about taking one of my horses for a lesson down in Yorkshire, was a pretty reasonable reading.
