Group 7-day waking average?

That’s an interesting birthday combo @Northerner! Super-sweet meets blowtorch, hehehe...happy birthday (belated as usual).😛:D😛

Morning all.🙂 6.3 here.😛

Bloden’s got a boyfriend! Met him on our walk yesterday...he’s called Baggins and is a dapper 14 years old. She’s “only” 9 so I guess he’s her sugar-doggy.🙄 (Sugar daddy? LOL?)
 
Morning all from a crisp, chilly but beautiful Cumbria. Yes, we are home, and after a very long day, 14 hours to get home from Bruges, and definitely not good food choices, I’m happy to report a 6.6. Maybe I need more KFC in my life! That really is a joke, if I never saw another piece of greasy, bread crumbed chicken again, it would be too soon! :( Had a decent sleep in my own bed, got up at 7.30 as I was so excited to start the washing! 😉Had a walk up the garden, it looks so beautiful in it’s autumnal colours. We’ve had a great time but home is where the heart is. Have a super Saturday everyone. 🙂
 
Good morning all 🙂 and the scores on the doors are ... 4.8 😉.
 
OHHHH congratulations @Bloden what breed is he? Make sure sugar doggy treats you well! :D xx
 
Whilst I was at the surgery on Monday getting my flu jab, I also had an interim blood test.
Got the results yesterday afternoon and I’m very pleased to say HbA1c was 31.
Low carbs has really worked for me. And as an added bonus the doc is reducing the dosage of 2 of my meds
– lansoprazole for GORD and propranolol for anxiety/hypertension.
Hopefully, I can soon stop the lansoprazole as my digestion problems have almost disappeared since going low carb.
I regularly check my BP and it averages around 123/71.
My super-duper FitBit watch tells me that my resting heart rate is 62 which is excellent for an old wrinkly of my age.

So, yours truly is feeling really proud of himself!! :D

Oh and a lovely bang in the middle 5.5 this morning. 🙂

Have a great day everyone!!

Good morning 🙂 5.3 for me today, which I'm pleased with as I was 9.4 before bed, after a large bowl of Jamaica Ginger Cake and custard for my birthday tea (and chicken vindaloo! 😱 ) 🙂

Good morning again :D.
Was 6.3 when I woke up again. Got the treatment right I thought till I saw my graph. I slept through a double dive into the low twos :(.
The good news is, no hypo hangover 🙂.
I m now contemplating what to do about breakfast bolus. I never new diabetes could have such fun :D

It's very hot and spicy - I was sweating with a runny nose after eating it! 😱 🙂 A Madras would be hot and spicy, but not as intense, it depends on your preferences - I have always liked curries that blow my socks off 😱 :D

Ohhh sounds right up my street!!! when we had kebabs we used to love it if they left the seeds in the chilli sauce as was spicier, I pick jalapenos out the jar and stuff them down my throat lol, definitely have to see if my dad can get some! When I was little and just reaching solids my mum had a chicken curry and apparently I stood in front of her with my mouth open, she gave me a wee drop and as she was putting it towards me said I wouldn't like it but I scoffed it and wanted more lol, love my heat and spicy lol xx
 
@Kaylz You sound just like me. 🙂 I love jalapenos and also the really hot lime pickles. 😱 I bought some Scotch Bonnet chillies the other day. They'll be going into a hot chilli later today!!
