Group 7-day waking average?

@Northerner Congrats, not only on your HS but what a lovely straight Libre line.

I woke up to a slightly surprising 3.8 this morning. First time I have had a low fasting reading but I had a feeling that I hadn't had quite enough carbs for my 3 units of N/R last night bearing in mind that I was 5.2 when I ate and it was almost midnight. I only had two small jersey royals and I think I had 3 the night before and these had been refrigerated and reheated which some say can reduce the carb content. I also had another banana with cream for desert which is just sheer luxury and decadence! I went to bed at 2 am on 7.0 but a bit concerned that it might go low and woke up at 3am convinced that it had, so got up and tested and I was 7.5. Went back to sleep more confident, only to find it had dropped slightly low at 3.8 by 7.45am Decided not to take any N/R this morning with breakfast again. Had a mocha and a couple of spoonfuls of blueberries and then decided to try eating a Nature Valley Protein Bar (9g carbs) in small amounts over a period of an hour or so. I still spiked to 9.2 but coming down now. Hopefully some gardening will help that.
 
Afternoon all, went swanning off this morning to meet a friend for coffee, and was too busy using my ipad to check the traffic on the motorway to remember to post my morning reading! (Which was 6.4, just for the record).
 
6.5 this A.M.

I’m ordering a new pair of trainers to replace the ones worn out by my pounding of the highways and byways in an effort to get fitter. Delivery by Hermes (or Herpes as I like to call ‘em).

Herpes too have now gone all Californian.

My delivery confirmation e-mail “Hi I’m Justin Thyme, and I’ll be your delivery driver today” It included a picture of Justin (names have been changed to protect the guilty!) – one of those not very flattering PhotoMe Booth shots. Blimey he looks like an axe-wielding homicidal maniac.

Hope it doesn’t turn out like this . . . . . .

Morning all, 7.8 for me today. Off to London later to meet up with some people I used to work with for lunch.
 
Wet here too but muggy! A 6.7 this morning. Waiting around for a: the roofer and 2: DPD. For a bit of excitement I’m popping to Asda later and for a treat I might venture into B&M, which is next door, for a tin of salmon and end up spending £42.37! Have a terrific Tuesday. 🙂
 
A glorious good morning to you all from Torbay, 9.7 will start reducing figures to more normal levels tonight.🙂 Eyes have settled down after a couple of blurry days, should be able to set up my new ACCU-CHEK* mobile.😎 Off out to lunch with the lads, I wonder were that will be.🙄

Not much to report today so have great day folks.🙂

It's more like a daily check in thread. I think it's a good thing. Always the first thread I go to.
 
5.6 for me today and experimented with bran flakes and blueberries as a breakfast option, but it has pushed me up to 11.4 despite pre-bolussing by an hour and weighing my portions very carefully and calculating the carbs using the calculator on my phone to make sure I got it right.. I am guessing I may go low later. I probably just need to accept that carbs on a morning are not a good idea for me.

I also experimented last night with a bit of baking if you can call it that. It was definitely experimental. Whisked up some eggs and stevia, added spelt flour and ground almonds and baking powder and Options hot choc powder.... (didn't have any cocoa at my partners house). Added a glug of oil, folded it all in to a nice gooey consistency, dropped it into a greased pudding bowl and nuked it for a couple of minutes ish. Came out pretty good which now gives me the problem that I didn't weigh anything so it will be hard to reproduce! The main idea was to create a lower carb sponge that I can use to make a trifle with sugar free jelly. The only fruit I had was mango, kiwi and blueberries and raspberry jelly (raspberries in the garden are not ripe yet), which unfortunately hasn't set, but I couldn't read the instructions because they were printed in tiny white writing on a mid blue background...Arrgh..... so I just guessed. Anyway, I will make a custard with eggs tonight and whip some cream for the top and see how it goes. I had the bit of leftover sponge with mango and blueberries and cream for dessert last night and apparently got away with it judging by my bedtime reading of 7.9 and then 5.6 this morning and it tasted rather good and was a nice change from rasps and yoghurt, but not as gorgeous as the banana and cream of the previous 2 nights. It will be nice to have a dessert that my partner and I can both share.
