Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂 it’s a 5.0 today.

Off to the foot clinic where I’m a frequent flyer to find out what’s going on. Deep breath , don’t walk into any sneaky hospital sign posts! 🙄

Have a good day if you possibly can 🙂
Hope all goes well today Flower
 
Good morning folks 🙂

7.0 for me today, might need to try another unit of Tresiba BUT I'll wait till the end of the week as have noticed I'm always a tad higher the week leading up to my contraceptive injection being due and got the nurse for that tomorrow, fingers crossed the self administering one will be back to being available in 12 weeks when it's due again 🙄

Went out with £30 last night and came home with none left lol, £22 just at Tesco but stocked up on protein bars and almond milk while they are on offer and bagged a big box of milk tray for half price of £3 for my mum's birthday next month so that's everything bought for that :D bought 2 bags 4 life as well only 55p each and will be storing Christmas presents in them, talking of that just spent £46 on stuff for Bruce's Christmas on Sports Direct, hate the £4.99 delivery charge!

Anyways hope you all have a lovely day, I'm away to wrap up and try and get warm 🙂
xx
 
Morning all, 7.3 for me today. Latest sensor finished this morning, going to put the new one on later ready for taking part in the Thames path challenge on Saturday.
@Flower good luck at foot clinic. X
 
Hello everyone, a marked drop in temperature, I think porridge is called for.

4.8 this morning

Enjoy your day
 
Thank you for your nice messages Ted and Flower any anyone else that I may have missed. I did manage to escape to the pub Saturday lunchtime and spent three hours chatting to my longest serving friend. Then on Sunday Mark whizzed me round the garden centre and Waitrose in the wheelchairs that they've got. Now back in my prison cell until the fracture clinic on Friday. 7.3 this morning which subsequently dipped into the 4's. Got a weak lower left arm this morning which is probably caused by one of my silent migraines. Going back to my bed to carry on reading Cold Comfort Farm and have a snooze - I seem to be doing lots of snoozing since I broke my foot.

Good luck today Flower. I will be thinking of you x
 
Good morning. The sun is shining brightly here 🙂.
Hope you all have a good day .

Woke to 8.9 :(finger prick. Added a correction to my breakfast bolus. Thanks to info from my Libre I can see I need more basal so I upped it half a unit to 7.5. I wonder when my body will realise I am well now or perhaps it like the smell of my insulins :D
I have nursie tomorrow so I’ll see what she says.

They have started a new thing here, instead of seeing the nurse for his COPD meds review dad is going to see a Pharmacist today. In time the Pharmacists are going to do several more clinics that would normally be done by the nursing staff.
 
6.7 for me this morning, no idea why it was this high, anyway managed a longest run yesterday at just under 14km.
Impressive Lorraine, in fact very impressive x
 
Good morning all🙂

Went to bed on 7.2, woke up after a perfect Levemir decline to wake on 5.4, after 8 hours undisturbed sleep. Textbook stuff, even if I say so myself.🙄

While feeling sorry for myself yesterday, forgot say that on Saturday we did something we haven’t done for 6 years - went into Blackburn to do some shopping and go to to SpecSavers. All very wheelchair friendly, and for sure it looks a lot more shiny than it used to. Busy, too. Lots of folk of every colour all rubbing along nicely together, all with Blackburn accents, all spending money. Didn’t see any empty shops. I did notice on the way in that the takeaway food shop that offered “Halal Pizza” has turned into something else, which is a shame because it was the finest example of cultural mashup, the story of the UK for millennia. Bit like the Chicken Tikka Pie on offer at the Rovers.:D

Anyway, a lazy day for me, as long as I’m within reach of a phone for the odd argument. And shouting at the television news.:confused: It’s great being retired:D

Have a good day, or at least the best you can. Curry for us tonight, a bolus nightmare.🙂
 
Hi, I’m here! Lost the plot today, totally forgot to check in. Probably because I was peed off with a 8.4! Definitely DP as I was on a very reasonable 7.1 pre bedtime. Still haven’t fitted my Libre sensor, might save it until my hols. Haven’t ordered anymore will just finger prick for now. Have the four grandkids for a sleepover tonight, they’re back at school on Wednesday and as we’re going on holiday on the 15th for up to 6 weeks it’ll be the last time for quite a while. Yeah!! I love them really! 😉
 
Good day 9.8 this morning although didn't get up till late and no Basal last night.😳 Not doing so well today folks, so will stop posting for a while, please take care all of you.🙂

Look after yourself Ted x
 
Oops! Forgot to add my number earlier! 🙄 5.1 this morning 🙂 I had a dip to 3.6 in the night, which is perfectly OK as I don't use basal insulin, so 3.6 is an acceptable, if lowish, level, but the Libre doesn't allow me to set my lower BG limit lower than 3.9 so it designates 3.6 as a hypo 🙄 There again, a 3.6 during the day would be a hypo, so I'd want to know about it! 🙂
