Group 7-day waking average?

Fiddley Dee
Six point three

The only disadvantage I’ve found with successfully managing my weight was that my faithful old Levi’s kept slipping down my new svelte waistline.
So off I go for a new pair. Could I find anything suitable?
Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs!

It was all slim-fit this or ultra-thin tapered that. Even if I could manage to shoehorn myself into them, I wouldn’t be seen dead in them! I’d look like Max Wall.
For those of you too young to remember him on Sunday Night at the London Palladium, here’s a pic.

What ever happened to good old “dad jeans” with their loose seat and ample pockets to hold your mobile phone, bunch of keys and your bag of Werther's Originals?
I was happy though – I now fit into an M size T-shirt, after years of having to wear L to accommodate the belly fat.
Have a great sunny Sunday, everyone!!

Good morning all. 7.8 @ 6.21am. 🙂 Baking day today, I must not lick the bowls, agh killer. Have a good Sunday all.
 
07:01 BS 9.2. Oops!😳 Clearly reduced dinner dose last night & reduced Midnight Levemir was too little! I ate late & it was only 1 hour 14 minutes after eating when midnight alarm went off: too early to test after eating. Then, did my exercises before going to bed. Ah, well! Some more Novorapid with breakfast will soon take care of that! My! What a rollercoaster of waking BS readings these last few days have been: 8.0, 4.5 & 9.2; unpredictable effects from physio! :confused:o_O🙄:D

An early ish Good Morning to you all & have a lazy, easy Sunday!😉
 
Morning folks 🙂

6.8 for me this morning, little higher than I'm used to lately but it's fine as I did reduce every bolus yesterday to be on the safe side with excitement etc and was in range all day so judged it pretty well

Hope you all have a fantastic day! :D

Morning all, 6.5 here.Managed not to hypo overnight after a session of garden taming at daughter's new house yesterday. Hypo at the time was managed successfully with an application of tea and cake at the local farm shop.

Woke up to grey skies this morning and still no sign of the sun but got a 5.3 to brighten things up for me.

Lovely hot day beside the sea in Shanklin yesterday. Ice cream sellers doing a roaring trade but I was strong and walked on by, with my favourite rum & raisin sticking two fingers up at me from behind the counter.

I lived in Southampton for nearly 20 years and only visited the island once! 😱 They often say when things are on your doorstep you don't take advantage of them!
 
Good morning, it’s a 5.1 🙂

Bad hypo day yesterday after an afternoon of glucose guzzling furniture moving and cleaning. Two hypos in the day and a stubborn hypo overnight after depleting my glycogen supplies. I’m sure I’ll get this diabetes sorted one day- I’m nearly there....🙄

Enjoy your Sunday🙂

:( Those unaccustomed activities can really hit the BGs 😱 Hence, whey I always hypo when gardening 😱 😉 :D

Hope you have a relaxing and entirely stable day {{{HUGS}}}
 
Morning. Another glorious day up here. Had a lie in until 9am! Had a very unsettled night, hot and uncomfortable, damn you menopause! Just devoured a full English, that’s it now until 6ish though. 12 year granddaughter stayed over last night and wanted to watch the first Harry Potter film, this may upset some folks, but I really don’t get it at all, I really tried and watched the first hour then went back to my book. She’s planning on binge watching a few more today, at least it’ll keep her off her iPhone but I won’t be joining her, I’m washing my hair! Have a super Sunday. 🙂
 
Good morning 6.8 on a cloudy but warm day,🙂 hope its a better day after yesterdays excursion into hypo land.😳 I see a few of you ended up there so take it easy today.🙄

Have a good day folks.🙂
 
Well, I didn't quite get my hat trick of consecutive 5's.... it was a 6.1 this morning but I'm still very happy with that. Went with coffee and cream and the remains of my antipasti platter for breakfast again and went up to 6.9 which is fine but some work in the garden brought that down again to 6.4 and heading back out there although it is baking again here this afternoon, so will be doing short spells. I need to do some work with some of my bees too. I've kept my diet really, really low carb the last few days and didn't need any N/R the day before yesterday and just 3 units yesterday, so much less risk of a hypo which is great, especially when the heat seems to increase the risk. I treated myself to a few glasses of port last night and a banana with Greek yoghurt and cream and a little beef mince with green beans and a couple of small jersey royals and those 3 bolus units kept me below 10 so I am really happy about that.

@Anitram Snap! Rum and raisin is my favourite ice cream too although I haven't had any for years.... it seems to have gone out of favour around here and been replaced with all these trendy new flavours. There is a Jersey farm a couple of miles away who make and sell their own but I haven't been since diagnosis for obvious reasons.
 
Better start to the day at 6.3

Drove up to Lockerbie, lovely town and whilst there visited the garden of remembrance, very moving when you see all those names on the memorial, so many lives tragically cut short by a wicked act of terrorism, and for what.
 
5.7!!
I was rudely awakened in the early hours of this morning by the eerie sound of Robert Plant performing an out of tune version of "Dazed and Confused" in the shower whilst being attacked with an electric cattle prod.
When I regained full consciousness and went to investigate, it turned out to be a couple of local tom cats engaged in a territorial dispute.
"Oh these hot summer nights!", thought I.
Returning to bed, I recalled the lyrics of "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth" by Meat Loaf.
To lull myself back to sleep I started to mentally recite the song's lyrics. "On a hot summer's night, would you offer your throat to the wolf with the red roses? Will he offer me his mouth? etc etc "
So far - so good.
The mental image conjured up by Meat's line "Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water" was just too awful to contemplate . . .
. . . . . I screamed and sat bold upright. AAAGGGGHHHH!

Have a great day

Dez
