Group 7-day waking average?

Ditto said:
Morning all. 7.5 @ 5.58am after my first day back to low carb yesterday. Thank you for excellent words of advice. I'm just gonna copy you lot and hope for the best. 🙂

I need black out curtains and blinds, that early morning sun really does wake you up, not that we've seen a lot of it this year.

I need to transplant roses today and eat sensibly today, have a good Sunday all.

Good on you Ditto, I confess I have enjoyed your honesty in your posts but also want what is best for you so good luck with the low carbing, it is bxxxxy hard at times though isn’t it? Take care x
 
Morning all, an 8.3 for me today.
 
07:09 BS 4.9. But, I’m ok & I’m not worried! 🙂 Still in bed & I know, from yesterday, it’ll probably have risen by the time I DO get out of bed!

Yesterday’s rain stopped, eventually, & it was a warm ish, grey, overcast & humid day! I sat in the conservatory for a bit but, it was too warm without the doors open & I didn’t want any more grass in the house: still a bit itchy; the lawn looks a bit naked! I’d gotten used to the country meadow look: long grasses with purply tips & wild flowers! Now all that’s gone & it looks a bit naked but, nice & neat.

Quite late today & a bit of a squeeze time wise! Golf tournament around 8am, all limbered up for that, followed by an early lunch. Before heading off early to orthopaedics around 13:30 to see specialist about the neck.

Still not 100% made up my mind about surgery but, will get the full lowdown, what’s what, risks versus benefits etc. etc. As my GP, from the beginning, doesn’t recommend it & my physiotherapist and I think my shoulder may have compensated for my neck when I turned around too fast!

So, off to brekkie & I’ll wish you all a later than usual, for me, Good Morning & a Wonderful Day at the start of a new week! 😉

Good luck with the appointment - and the golf! 🙂
 
Thanks @Northerner 😉

Don’t worry, forgot to test, but, up & zipping apple juice while breakfast is in the oven for 30 minutes: frozen cod fillet wrapped in foil so, it’s ends up like steamed & microwaved steamed veges! 😛

Will consider reducing Midnight Levemir as my after meals levels are fine, despite the Novorapid reductions & are still a wee bit on the high side, 10’s breakfast & 9’s the rest. I WILL do that tonight at Midnight! Lunchtime Levemir isn’t a problem as it’s just the last 3 mornings that have been in the 4’s. 🙄
 
Morning folks! 🙂

5.3 at 6:05, 4.9 at 6:55, sensor change in a few hours thank goodness as it's starting to play up a bit, lets see how this update fairs on accuracy within the 1st day lol

Absolutely horrible here today, bucketing it down but I've got no plans to go out so not bothering me too much lol

Hope you all have a lovely day! :D

Morning all, 4.9 here, snap, @Lanny. Last couple of hours on my Libre sensor, it’s been a good one. I need to fire up the old laptop and try and update the reader now.

it's relatively easy and only takes a couple of minutes so you should be fine 🙂 I assume you probably have proper internet rather than a dongle like me so it may be even quicker for you 🙂

Have been up since 7 but busy with little ones. Mr Eggy on the school run, I’ve just fed baby and dressed her. Is it bedtime yet? 7.1 this morning, was 5 at bedtime, plain choccie digestive but hey ho that’s how it goes. At 7.30 we had an almighty crack of thunder followed by marble sized hailstones, it rained so hard it came into my bathroom through a window just on the latch, much mopping up ensued. Then it stopped as quickly as it started. Might venture out to soft play if rain stays away as we will have to walk. 2 adults + baby + sports car = Shanks pony! Have a, hopefully, not too wet day. 🙂

Your morning readings have come down a lot! @Robin 😛:D🙂😎

I increased my overnight Levemir by 0.5 and reduced my daytime by 1.0 and it seems to have evened out the overnight dip and rise a bit. Last night was a bit atypical, helped by riding a more stubborn nag yesterday so expended more energy, and having a glass of red wine in the evening.
 
4.7 this morning after a very successful run of concerts in Glasgow
Completely shattered, will take a couple of days to fully unwind
Sadly that is it for this year
 
Good morning, gang🙂

Still rumbling along. Got out of bed (eventually) on 7.0, but that includes a bump of DP on top of a reasonably straight line overnight, so that’s fine.🙂

Had a busy day yesterday. Family arrived yesterday afternoon, and son-in-law helped set up my PC on my new computer desk in the man cave. All neat and tidy, no dangling wires. Didn’t work. Wouldn’t boot up at all. Oh well, a phone call to the local IT whizzkids should fix that. Good excuse to get a high end graphics card while they are at it.🙄 Even now, nothing in the PC now was in the casing when I bought it. That’s the benefit of a PC over a laptop, it’s a bit like a house where you install a new bathroom or kitchen.🙂

Anyway, woke up to find an alert on my phone from the Met Office. Yellow warning for thunder and lightning. Sheesh. In the good old days, things like that just happened. Nanny State, I’m not a trawler in the North Sea.:confused:

Have a good day, everyone, and don’t stand under any trees if it starts raining heavily:D
 
Good afternoon everyone. 4.1 with a slanted up arrow n my lying Libre, it’s getting stroppy in its old age lol, I was probably around 6 or 7.
haven’t been posting on or reading this thread for a while, so I hope all is well with everyone and any appointments went well.

I’ve just received some good news I will soon be giving this a good home
and a good workout lol.
