Group 7-day waking average?

I've done that - it really hurts! 😱

This is only the 2nd time in almost 3 years and it really does! Bruce was looking at me like you inject at least 4 times a day, you prick your finger etc yet you moan at that lol xx
 
08:13 BS 7.8. Not surprised, really, I’m feeling scratchy in my throat! Hope I’m not coming down with something! 🙄

I reduced my Midnight Levemir so, maybe that’s it? I reduced my dinner dose last night but, was still only 5.4 2 hours & 4 minutes after so, had 2 digestives before going to bed. So, maybe 1 biscuit too much? I’ll never know? 🙄

New regime of adding in shoulder exercises begins today so, more testing! But, I kind of know what to expect? New exercises at the start of a new week all doses go up as it’s hard work. Then, doses come down over the week as it gets easier! It’s happened every time now with physio! 🙄

I REALLY can get used to sleeping through the night with no shoulder pain at all! 😛🙂:D

I think, hopefully, it’s hayfever & the inhalers & allergy pill, I do now after posting, will help with that. My eyes are red & streaming intermittently all the time now! 😱🙄

A bit later than usual, Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
Morning all. A Len Goodman this morning SEVEN! A quite nice morning, sun is shining. Out for lunch with three of my oldest girlfriends, in every way! @Bloden yes great excitement about the airport opening, it’s had two setbacks. They only fly to Dublin, Belfast and Southend! I’ve been to Dublin, can’t think of any reason to fly to Southend, so Belfast it’ll have to be. I do fancy it to be fair. The are calling it Carlisle The Lake District Airport, fair enough but if you want to go to the south lakes it’ll be a good couple of hours drive away. Hopefully it will be successful and they can add to their routes. I would love it if I could fly to the far Scottish Highlands and Islands. Shetland, Orkneys, Lewis etc. 🙂
 
Good morning 10.4, guess what I forgot to take last night?😳 5.1 at the moment.🙂 Lovely day washing all done and dried so a free day from now on, maybe.😎

Congratulations on HS @Carolg.🙂

Have a great day folks.🙂
 
5.9 for me this morning, think I have a urine infection now, so that might be why it is so high.

@Carolg congrats on your HS.

At least I am back at work now, ready for the call from HR as I have now had 4 periods of sickness this year, so not good. But I couldn't go in while being sick and I honestly felt to unwell to work from home. Annoying really as 2 of these periods of sickness are only 1 day, one was a migraine, but I understand they have their policies and procedures to follow.
 
Good morning everyone🙂

6.2 for me today, which is a nice start. I was runnng a bit high yesterday for some reason - and a bit grumpy. Not like me at all. Anyway, you can do anything with insulin, so I’m back normal again.:D

As I predicted, England disposed of New Zealand without any great worries. Mind you, NZ were thinking up some fairly novel ways to get out. It’s W.Indies v Afghanistan today, a dead rubber, but at least it’s better than watching b****y tennis.🙄

Apparently my bookcase will arrive today, if they can remember to stick it on the van. This is Panther Logistics, who I’ve never had dealings with before. Not a good name for a Logistics company, the panther is a nocturnal secretive hunter, not often seen in the wild. Hermes are a c**p company, but at least Hermes was a Greek God. He was god of trade, thieves, sportsmen. German company, Hermes.

Anyway, it’s a lovely day, I’ll be trundling into the village again today for emergency supplies of Tomato Juice. Lots of Lycopenes.😎

Have a good day, folks. It’s nearly the weekend apparently, so definitely start winding down🙂

By the way, Eggy, there’ll never be flights from Carlisle to the Islands, flights there are a subsidised lifeline service for stuff like hospital appointments and shopping on the mainland, and criminals escaping from Jimmy Perez.😎

Remember that, as someone with diabetes, they have to take account that you may be more prone to infections and illnesses can hit you harder, you are protected in this by the law 🙂
 
GrannyLorraine. Policies and procedures are essential to the running of any organisation. They should, however, be applied with understanding and compassion, and a touch of humour doesn't go amiss either.

Cats and olives, eh? That might help explain why my olive and feta salads are so exciting for the kitties.

Some cats like catnip and some don't. If they do, then apparently they go mad for olives - but not to eat them.

Oh man! I was only going to see Jimmy and maybe Sandy but not Tosh, she pulls funny faces and needs acting lessons! :D
 
A nice 6.0 for me this morning. Was feeling in a positive state of mind so decided to experiment with breakfast and try porridge. I pre bolussed 3 units 30 mins in advance, had my porridge and checked half an hour after food and an hour and a quarter after insulin and got a 6.2. Checked again an hour later and things still looking great at 6.4. Headed off out to my stable yard after having spent most of the morning doing housework so that I could easily monitor my progress. An hour later (3.25hrs after I took the NR) my legs went wobbly and I had dropped to 3.8. 3 jelly beans brought me back up to 5.5, but I still felt wobbly so I went next door to the village shop and bought a small apple and had half of it.....first apple I have had for months and it was gorgeous! Came up to 6.9 with that and felt well enough to head home. Checked an hour later and I'd dropped to 5.5 again which as far as I am concerned, now gives me the green light to have the other half of that apple! Going to really savour every bite whilst working in the garden!

Interestingly, Barbara, the only apple I’ve found that has any effect on my BG is a Red Delicious. All the rest- Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Rosa, and the others produce only a tiny lift in my Libre trace. So now Red Delcious live in my fridge for a go-to boost. Even then, there’s nothing like a Jelly baby for those cross eyed moments:D
 
This is fun!!
Today - 5.1

Had my first ever appointment, to have the pedal pushers perused, poked, probed and prodded by the podiatrist yesterday. When it was all over, "Well how do I stand?" quipped I hoping to raise at least a chuckle. Nothing doing. "You'd be surprised how often I hear that" was the reply"

I walked away happy in the knowledge that I'd been given a "minimum risk" assessment.

Here's a picture what I drew on the back of a fag packet. whilst passing the time in her waiting room.
Only kidding folks I DON'T SMOKE. It was on the back page of an ancient copy of Cosmopolitan.

Morning all, a slightly more acceptable 6.5 today although I note Patty is still plaguing me with odd numbers after that decimal point 😉. Still double figures after the evening meal but only just this time so Patty may be emerging from her wobble. Did realise yesterday that my Tresiba was probably significantly over the 28 days point and it’s been warm so I’ve switched the cartridge to see if that works it all out.
 
7.9 for me this morning.slept for 9 hours last night wow, in a few weeks I will grow whiskers and go into hibernation !
