Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all.🙂 4.2 here.😛

Got my Welsh group cínio nadolig (Xmas lunch) today. Hopefully, I won’t have run out of basic Welsh before the starters arrive (I suspect a lot of English’ll be spoken) - softly, softly, catchy mwnci! 🙄
 
Morning all, 6.2 here. Had our exercise class Xmas lunch yesterday. Indulged in a brie, bacon and cranberry panini, and a coffee with one of the café's home made shortbreads. All guilt-free, we'd done the class first to work up an appetite.
Thank you for keeping us posted about Ted @KARNAK, Baz, we are all thinking about him.
 
Good morning 🙂

Well I got seen early at the job centre yesterday so managed to pop along to Savers and get some bits I was needing (cotton wool pads, lens wipes and Vaseline body lotion) then the day went to pot, smashed my thumb off the fridge shelf so have a bad bit at the top of my nail now, then after tea I flung myself on the floor between my bed and wall as Bruce managed to let Bubbles out the living room so I had to launch myself to catch him before he got under my bed, jarred my wrist pretty badly 🙄

Anyways 6.1 at 6am, 5.7 45 minutes later, took a biscuit on board for a 6.0 as I'd been out, I have no idea what is going on after the shocking 9 pre tea on Monday and a correction taking me to low 5's, I was is the 5's pre tea last night so reduced my bolus by half a unit! will see how things unfold over a few days and might need to put my basal down a bit, Bruce is making me feel guilty/bad about my control at the moment though with coming through to the kitchen when I'm bedtime snacking and giving it the "your at it again, how many this time" I try not to need a snack but it doesn't seem to register with him that diabetes really can have a mind of its own! :(

Have a nice day folks
xx

If. diabetes was controlled by insulin to lower BG, and a pill to raise it, nobody would ever dream of remarking on it if they saw you taking a pill. But because it’s sweet food we treat a low with, it seems to open itself up to comment.
 
Morning all on this still dark morning. A 6.4 for me today. It’s a Christmas miracle as I was 11.1 at bedtime, 10.30, last night. I had a day of carb after carb after carb. That’s what happens when I get stir crazy and fed up. Unfortunately, I paid for it at 2am with a really poorly tummy and a sprint ( well fastish walk, which is all I can muster at the moment) to the loo. I felt really ill. Feel fine so far this morning. I was supposed to be getting my haircut and was looking forward to getting out of the house but Mr Eggy doesn’t think it’s a good idea with all that’s going on. I’ve got until 10 o’clock to get my act together and persuade him I’m absolutely fine(ish)! Have a great day all. Thanks Baz @KARNAK for keeping us up to date. Send Ted my regards. 🙂

I'd suggest telling him to go and stuff his head up a dead bear's bum, these Muggles know nothing about the frustration of having to eat something whether you want to or not! 😱 😉

Hope you're not too sore from your injuries and heal quickly {{{HUGS}}}
 
“Sprat-weather” This interesting word came up in a crossword the other day.
The dark days of November and December, so called from that being the most favourable season for catching sprats.
It may also be related to Sprat Day - 9th November - the opening of the London sprat-selling season.

Oh and 6.2 on the dial this morning.

Have a great day!

your way with words really does make me laugh! :D its not our fault our levels just sometimes don't play ball we want them to! Thanks, Bubbles is quite full on at the moment so becoming very stressful to look after especially when I'm on my own and needing to inject as I'm always anxious he's going to fly across the room and knock into me while I've got the needle in, my old cat sensed he not be near me and stayed still the whole time I was injecting, his at times vicious nature is becoming a bit of a problem too and he certainly has a touch of feral about him so really don't know what to do :( xx

I am sorry @Northerner and @Kaylz but that has just made me burst out laughing.
Kaylz, send him round to me I’ll soon sort him out for you, I promise to return him unharmed except for a bit of temporary deafness due to some loud noses ( me shouting) down his lugholes :D

Oh please don't apologise, it made me do exactly the same, seems @Northerner has a bit of a dark streak after all! 😱:D
I'll send him round when he gets in from work lol
Thanks seems we're mostly all accident prone at the moment 🙄 i think when it becomes really icy outside we'd all be safer locking ourselves in and meeting on here haha xx

5.5 for me this morning.

+7, yet I find it colder, but it is dreich, damp dismal, horrible.

Getting my last back tooth pulled this afternoon not, understandably,looking forward to it

New dentist (the guy I saw for years, retired) so do not know if he will understand my phobia about dentists.
Fingers crossed

Morning all. Glorious sunshine in Sale. 🙂 7.7 @ 5.29am not bad considering scotch pie dinner last night, too huge, plus the SlimFast is really sweet. I wish I could find a liquid milk diet that wasn't sweet?!
 
Slimfast isnt good for diabetes ~ have you tried Buttermilk @Ditto? Apparently it's good for the liver.

If you go on line and search for 'Foods to help shrink the liver' you'll find a load of websites quoting foods & drinks.
Chin up.

I googled the best liquid diet for liver and it came up with SlimFast! You could have knocked me down with a feather, so I dunno. :D
