Group 7-day waking average?

8.2 @ 10 to 7 agh. Going up instead of down but routine out the window. Mum still in hospital, a nightmare.

It's all old (older than me) ladies on the ward and at least two of them are diabetic. A lot of them are 'confused' indicated by a blue sticker flower on their board. Mum's got one of them plus a red Canadian maple leaf for immobility. They took one ladies bg and it was over 18. The nurse said she never bothers about high readings in children or old people, she just bothers if it goes too low. Hospital food is like old-fashioned school dinners or sandwiches and soup plus puddings.

I can't wait for Mum to come home, it's bedlam sometimes.

So sorry to hear this @Ditto :( I hope your Mum is back home very soon {{{HUGS}}}
 
Bonjour. Sorry I’ve been missing in action for a couple of days, couldn’t get any decent Wi-fi. A much better 7 this morning after two mornings in the 8s! That’s what eating ( and drinking) late does for you, and staying with family! We’ve moved on to Port Vendres, which is still in France but in the Catalan region, a stones throw from Spain. My brother and sister in law are with us for a few days, the weather is so much better than where they live in the Tarn region, which was very wet. Presently sitting on the balcony of our apartment. Here until Saturday and they we are off to Provence, we haven’t booked anything yet, will get onto that today. Had a quick read of the forum and looks like I don’t have to worry too much about anyone. Au revoir until next time and take care. 🙂
 
Good morning everyone 7.7 today. I really enjoyed my first three half days at university but I’m not absolutely exhausted so lots of rest today. Next class is on Monday but plenty of reading on my Kindle to do before then.
 
Good morning campers, slept 16 hours straight through. I was completely knackered yesterday. Feeling the benefit this morning.

A house special of 5.2 woohoo
 
Morning all.🙂 A Libre-tastic 6.1 here.😛

Hope your mum’s home soon @Ditto. Take care.

Glad to hear uni’s started well @AJLang.🙂 I’m starting uni on Tues - going in this morning to sort out a library card (I’ve got a ton of reading to do and want to get busy!).:D
 
Good morning! 🙂

Roche eventually got back to me yesterday and told me in the reply to send the serial number and they would register it in their system so I did so but never got a response, never mind I’ve done my part and archived the emails so if anything goes wrong and they say they don’t have anything I’ve got proof!

7.0 for me this morning, aching all over, this sofa bed/futon thing really isn’t doing me any good but oh my beds are so expensive!

Absolutely bucketing down here this morning so after my extra long warm shower (it’s cold and sensor change day so I always have a longer warmer shower lol) it’ll be into warm fleecy stuff and chill on the sofa for me

Hope you all have a great day! :D

Good morning from a slightly damp corner of E Kent. Had one of those odd dreams that woke me up, good job it did too, else I dread to think what might have happened. We got home and I needed a wee,so I grabbed my sharps bin and........l well I’ll leave the rest to your imagination, then I woke up,phew.

Not quite a waking figure as I am sure you’ll understand 5.5 scan but sadly this sensor though it started (iPad put, It tarted off :D) very well it now reads 2 below a finger bodge .

Hope you all have a good day.

Another damp morning and a score of 4.6 😎
I may be extreme but it's in my own special way 🙂
 
Back from my holidays. 6.5 for me this morning, on holiday they ranged between 6 and 8, I was pretty good with my eating, but wondered if my Mojita caused the rise, although always requested without the sugar being added, which raised a few eyebrows. Anyway only gained 1 1/2 lbs on holiday, so now back on it big time. Got my HBA1C blood test today, so expecting a rise from the last one due to holidays, but know that I can get that back down over the next few months. I did manage to go running twice on holiday and did Aqua aerobics 10 times, plus lots of walking, so tried to stay active.
 
Good morning gang🙂

Oops. Woke up with 8.2. I know why, a slightly erroneous bolus for last night’s home made curry. I normally eat curries with poppadoms, which being made from gram flour are virtually carb free, but we’d run out, so I had half a nan bread. Never mind, a couple of units correction will fix that.🙂 I was a bit like Hazel - slept for 10 hours last night, but the longer I sleep, the stiffer I get. Not to worry, CBD oil does the trick, so it’s a wobbly legs morning.

That’s why elbow crutches were invented. Basic rule - learn, adapt, get on with living.😎

Anyway, the weather has improved to the Lancashire compromise, the sun is shining but it’s raining. Not going anywhere today, so it doesn’t matter much. I might indulge myself in the man cave by watching politicians behaving badly. I feel like the Lord High Executioner in The Mikado. “There’s none of ‘em be’d missed”:D

Have a good day, folks🙂
