Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone🙂

I woke on 3.2, but no panic, that was just a gentle drop overnight. I know why it happened, excess exercise yesterday that caused multiple overnight leg cramps. That’s the cause, but the happy result is two chocolate digestives with my morning double espresso🙂

I see the poo is hitting the fan as the Supreme Court has judged that BoJo’s prorogation of Parliament was illegal, because his intent was to stop parliament doing its job. Essentially, he misled the Queen. Off with his head, I say.:D

We live in interesting times. But as that crazy band Pete Brown and Piblokto sang, “Things May Come and Things May Go, But The Art School Dance Goes On Forever.”

Have a good day in the rain, folks. Keep on dancing🙂

Fun times ahead 🙂
I believe it was unlawful rather than illegal - I believe that distinction makes some sort of difference. I suspect all the lawyers won really 🙂
Now lets see parliament act on something!

I have been tempted to try and crash my BG just to get that sugary treat. I know I'm bad 😛

Read and just do something just for yourself.
Enjoy your day off.

Sadly a 15.2! I visited friends last night and had a small treat with coffee - it tasted very sweet but I must have underestimated the carbs (deli brought with no labelling). My BG was high at bed time so I took 4 extra units which had worked before but not this time. Just coffee for breakfast and a recheck iin a few minutes. ☹️

I hope that the levels have dropped now.
 
Good morning 🙂 6.2 for me today 🙂 Hope it's a bit drier today! It's the cycling World Championships here in Harrogate this week and the cyclists all got a proper Yorkshire soaking yesterday. Men's elite Time Trials today, so will pop down the road to cheer them on 🙂

Remembering @AlisonM today, on what would have been her 62nd birthday

Morning all and 6.1 to bed and 6.1 this morning.

Two new sensors arrived yesterday but I'm holding off starting a new one until next week as my review is on the 29th of October so I can have an unbroken run until then.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning Folks,

Reporting a reading of 8.7 this morning

The rain has stopped and it’s golf club tonight to sign on for Saturday’s competition
 
Morning all, 6.8 on this dull autumn day.

A late post having had an early appointment for cortisone injection in my hip.
Whilst there they did the flu jab too.

Levels started at 6.3 before breakfast after a mountain range on the Libre overnight.
Now using increases in basal and Bolus to tackle the impact of cortisone.
Two rest days to come

Feel for you mate, not nice. After mine ran temp basal increase at 60% and did few corrections as well, just for few days but effects can last a lot longer from previous experience.
 
Morning all. 😎

The score today is .............................................................. 4.5 :D
 
Good morning folks

2nd day in a row I’ve woken with a thumping headache, never mind at least I don’t have to go out today, also feeling pretty down with all the spots that keep coming up on my face, any tips on how to get rid of them are very welcome!

Still waiting on Roche getting back to me about activating the warranty and registering the replacement meter, was so much better and easier when you could just do it online! If they don’t get back to me today I’ll be sending another contact form!

Anyways it’s a 5.4 for me this morning and I even had light while testing this morning lol good job as it's dull and raining here again

Have a nice day folks
xx

Ran a TBR of 170% after my cortisone injection, and managed a nice flappy fish overnight and woke at 4.8. Reduced it to 160% today, and managed to walk down stairs, holding on, but stepping normally. Feeling like it is starting to work already.

More rest today and then back to gentle activity.

Bit grey this morning and looks like we might get another soaking but a sunny 4.7 on the meter, and despite the DN running last night's XPERT Course dismissing finger prick testing as irrelevant I shall continue with it.

Good grief! What other gems have they got up their XPERT sleeves? Get some earplugs @Anitram.🙄

Morning all.🙂 It’s hypo headquarters here this morning...o_O best lower my basal tonite.:D
 
Good morning all🙂

I woke up on 5.0 this morning, after a steady downward line (went to bed on 8.2). Levemir triumph. No excitement or alarms. That’s how I like things.🙂

Had an interesting afternoon yesterday. Daughter works from home two days a week, but yesterday her work laptop failed. So I got a phone call asking me if she could use my computer to work. So my man cave was turned into a branch office of Savills. I should send them a bill.

She went down to London last week for work. On the tube, she was wearing her “Baby on Board” badge, and the good folk of London were almost falling over themselves to offer their seat. On the train back north it was busy, and, still wearing the badge had to stand for two hours. She didn’t get a seat until some guy got off at Warrington and he advised her to grab a seat for the last 30 minutes or so to Preston. What a gent. Aye, right:confused:

She’s got a glucose tolerance test on Friday, because apparently she has a first degree relative with T1. She did say the baby was slightly large for its age, and she’s been getting thirsty and peeing all night, and not gaining weight. I suspect the GTT might score a hit. Don’t think she’ll be borrowing my computer, she’ll be nicking my Libre sensors:D

She’s not that bothered, actually. Taking her cue from me, I suppose. Naturally, the concern is for the baby.

Anyway, have have a good day, folks. It’s a rather cloudy and grey here after yesterday’s drench, so I’m just entertaining myself watching BBC Parliament. Watching a government squirm is hilarious.🙂
