Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 🙂

VERY chilly here this morning and my only fleece PJ top didn't get washed last night so I'm pretty cold as don't really have anything else suitable :( ah well it's Libre change day so I'll get another coffee shortly and then jump in a lovely hot shower lol

5.5 for me this morning and still no sign of this stuffy nose disappearing :(

Have a lovely day folks! :D
xx
 
Morning all and either a 5.0 or a 5.3. First one was an "oh sod it" I'm not at work to day reading. Either way all's good.

Evening timings seem to have gone awry again. Not so much delay required, experimentation required.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning. A very pleasant 6.5. A rather non descript day, weather wise. Nothing interesting to report, except it’s only three more sleeps until we’re off on our Grand Tour! 😱 House/garden bottomed, clothes laid out ready to pack, passport dusted off, fridge almost empty. My work here is done, get me to the continent! Have a fabulous day everyone whatever it throws at you. 🙂
 
Reporting a 5.7 today. Haven't fully woken up yet - yawn! 😛
 
9.6 for me this morning. Drizzly day.have a nice day all
 
Morning all, having a lovely break in Wiltshire, weather not brilliant but hasn’t dampened our spirits. Did yoga for the first time yesterday, harder than it looks haha. Did rifle shooting, archery and table tennis and saw a brilliant Neil Diamond tribute. Going to Devizes today for a mooch about.
8.3 on waking, 2 hrs after full English brekkie, still 8.3. Starting back on Metformin tomorrow, c’est la vie!!
@eggyg hope you have a wonderful time, sounds very exciting.
Have a good day and stay well. Sue xx
 
Good morning all🙂

Had another odd day yesterday, lots of low BGs, which is annoying because I have to keep doing blood tests. Anyway, went to bed on a Libre 4.1 with a rising arrow (7.7 BG) and woke up on 8.2 (BG 7.9). The only plus is that’s a straight line, but I shouldn’t have had that last choccie digestive.:confused:

Still, nobody’s perfect.🙂

I’m a bit disappointed in Amazon. I changed my payment method a month ago on the main site, because my Visa card had expired. My books arrived late on my Kindle because an email told me to fix my Amazon Kindle payment. Well, fair enough I suppose, but then asked me if I wanted to use Visa card ending in 4743 expiry 08/22. Of course I do, you morons😡 Then I get an email telling me my Amazon Prime subscription had expired and I needed to change my payment method. Guess what? Yes, I was asked if wanted to use Visa Card ending in 4743....

Amazon need to get some joined up thinking. Still love then though, if you ever ring then up their customer service is ace. Do wish they’d pay proper tax, mind.

So, as soon as I read the last 200 pages of the thousand in the Wheel of Time book 4, it’ll be Atwood, King and Harris. Can’t read two consecutive dystopias while living in one:D

Have a good day folks, the final ashes test starts today for more England humiliation (they can’t win without Jimmy Anderson, Burnley’s finest) so I’ll be fairly quiet for a few days. Honest:D
 
4.9 this morning and the sun is just beginning to break out.

Struggling (did I say struggling?) over the last few days to get a reading above 6 no matter when I test. Very different to what I have come to consider to be normal. Dunno what is going on, but if I could bottle it I reckon could join the ranks of the snake oil salesmen, make loads of money by conning others and incur the wrath of everybody on here! Seriously though, the only thing that has changed, apart from the bug that is just clearing my system, is that my weight has just hit 68kg whereas as the start of this adventure it was around 73kg. Maybe there is something in this weight thing and there being a personal threshold.
 
Good afternoon. I did get up early honest.
6.8 on the Libre (would be around 1.0 higher on a ginger bodge ) all due to a pre bed slice of cheese and onion quiche crust an all , it was delicious so I went back for a bit more 😱
 
Just as a follow up to today's post, I got a letter from the Eye Screening folk telling me there was no sign of any diabetic eye disease. So, another trip to Clitheroe hospital in 12 months.

Must have been doing something right for the last 23 years. Or it just might be genes. My mum did 50 years as a diabetic with no eye problems. Who knows?

Good to hear 🙂 I managed about 3 years, despite excellent control - curse those genes! 🙄
 
I must get back to testing but it's such a struggle to get any blood out. I must have really sticky ucky blood. :(

Mum's been hauled away into hospital after another fall. She's having physio but no sign of the small heart attack they thought she'd had. I need to get my life in order, 3 proper meals a day and regular bg measuring, despite it being too little too late. Hope you're all having a good day.

Hi Ditto, I don’t think it’s ever too late is it. Everybody’s life is different and some things are harder for some than others. Some seem to cope really well with their diabetes, diet etc and others not so much. Same as lots of other things in life, for example I’m a smoker, down to 5 roll ups a day but CANNOT seem to get lower. I have friends and family who have given up easily, some have struggled and others including me who battle every day with guilt knowing I should have managed to quit by now but haven’t. Just keep at it I suppose no matter what our situation is.
I love your honesty in your posts and wish I could help you more but as with my addiction it has to come from ourselves, at least we can support you virtually.
I hope your mum recovers very soon and the physio helps her.
Luv luv xx
