Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A 7.1 today after correcting a humongous 10.4 before bed! I very, very rarely do corrections and am always a bit scared. I was down to a lovely 6 at 2am but the DP must have hit whilst I was sleeping. The weather is promising to be great all weekend, got all four grandchildren today, out for dinner this evening at friends. A lazyish day tomorrow then all the grandchildren are descending for a sleepover on Sunday and, touch wood, we are having a BBQ. Monday will be spent, after getting shot of the little darlings, mostly lying down with a wet flannel! Have a great day and bank holiday weekend everyone. 🙂

5.6 for me this lovely Berkshire morning.

Looking forward to the bank holiday weekend as we always spend it in Cornwall, as it's the annual Smite World Championships weekend in Saint Neot. Made the quarter finals one year. Weather forecast looks good, too.

Hopefully the weather in Leeds is better today. Bit stop/start with the cricket yesterday because of rain and bad light.

Pray tell, what is the Annual Smite World Championships? The mind boggles! I first thought it said smile! :D
 
Good morning it’s an 8.0.

I had a frightening hypo yesterday afternoon , my cgm showed below 2.2 for about an hour and I was in the twilight zone, felt like a rag doll when I came to later. Utterly freaked out by diabetes and can’t understand why I dropped so fast. Thank goodness I’d eaten some shortbread just before so eventually it brought my bg up.

Glad you managed a fun day out @SueEK , sounds hard work!

Have a stable bg day please! 🙂
 
Still up in the sixes - 6.4 this luverly sunny morning! :D
 
Good morning. It’s looking like some of us are going to have a few more days of summer.
Started to feel really really tired yesterday morning and not well , no idea what it is as no other symptoms.didn’t want to eat which is very unusual for me, that explains my increase need for insulin for the last few days. The good news is , the extra half unit of Insulatard held me pretty steady till dinner time even though I was in the eights. , feeling hungry I had dinner around 6, gave myself an extra unit of bolus , and my BGs held a party 🙄:D. Woke to a rather surprising 4.9 , maybe the bouncers waded in to sort out the unruly party goers :D.
I am still feeling tired and a bit off colour but my tum wants it’s brekkie so toast and peanut butter with a large mug of coffee here I come.

Hope you have a much better day today @Flower {{{HUGS}}}
 
7.0 this morning, using a 'new' meter I'm not used to off my sister with out of date strips, there's loads of them so I'm thinking just use them up. Wonder if they go 'off' as they're 2017.

Not a bad reading seeing as how I had pudding chips peas and gravy for tea last night at 6 and then finished off Mum's leftover chips. I'm on this crazy diet where I have SlimFast for breakfast and lunch then an evening meal of anything I fancy. I have to go for more blood tests soon and thought the SlimFast might shrink my liver a bit. Fat chance. I can't eat normally as I never have in my life and don't know how to do it.

Have a good Friday all. 🙂
 
A wapping 6.9 this morning, and feeling really tearful, maybe because of the high numbers or is the tearfulness causing the high numbers, who knows. Feeling very unsettled at work, which doesn't help, the building I am working in is being closed and staff moved to other buildings, the building I am being moved to is not a problem as it is not any further from my home, but most people have now moved out and there are only about 200 of us left to move to the smaller building, it is a weird feeling atm as a once full and vibrant building now feels sad, whats more we know we have to be moved by the end of Sept but have still not got a final moving date. I am on leave in Sept, so I am getting all my stuff ready before I go, just have this really sad feeling that I will leave this building to go on holiday and then back to the new building. Silly I know but after nearly 16 years it is making me feel sad.
 
Morning all, a 6.7 for me today and a steady line overnight again. Another full day at the steam fair and one of my favourite bands on tonight. Should be good.
 
Hi guys & girls, a 4.2 today 3.2 by the time I got to the hospital, DSN wasn`t happy nor was the specialist, looks like I am going too get a libre, don`t know for certain but bones crossed.😛 Looks like a few of us have a few problems sleep well tonight my friends, take care.

I've used out of date strips and compared them with 'in date' strips and they have been fine, although mine are Freestyle Optium strips that are individually foil-wrapped so more protected. I'd suggest getting some new strips then doing some comparisons to see if the old ones match up in accuracy - they're unlikely to be exactly the same, but if they're close enough then waste not, want not! 🙂

I have experienced that feeling a few times when you have to move from familiar surroundings, and possibly lose some familiar faces to other buildings, it can be emotional. Hopefully, it won't take too long to get used to the new place {{{HUGS}}}

Thanks Alan, I haven’t zoned out/ lost time for a few years now and it’s really shaken me. Aiming for 7-10 today to be on the safer side. Here’s hoping. 🙄🙂

Hope you succeeded, and had a good night 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 4.5 for me this morning, after a bottom-skimming flatfish overnight 🙂 I've noticed, using the libre, that my levels fall quite quickly as soon as I fall asleep, mirroring the quick rise when I wake 😱 For this reason I no longer have concerns about going to bed a bit on the high side as I know it will soon come down without a correction 🙂 Bright and sunny here - and probably everywhere, I'm guessing! 🙂 Looks like the celestial beings in control have overlooked the fact that this is a Bank Holiday weekend! 😱 🙂
