Group 7-day waking average?

Morning score 5.8, its been a bad week and a half despite getting back my HbA1c score of 37.
Almost full body rash and fever from 'a virus' says the doc and now so much joint pain I can hardly walk. :(
 
Morning all, 7.1 for me today, not happy about that but hey ho, must be that chocolate off the tree! Off on my next 52 mile round trip to the hospital today but shouldn’t be a wasted journey like last time, this time I checked with the secretary that I’m definitely being seen by the consultant. Hope to get some answers today re upcoming op, wait time, recovery time etc. Have printed my questions out, 2 copies so hope he will give me a few minutes to get the answers.
Hope all those with poorly feet and mega bruises have a restful day. @KARNAK hope all is going well for you. Enjoy your day and don’t forget to vote (for what it’s worth!).

Sorry to hear this @karloc hope it goes away really soon x
 
Thanks 🙂. It's a bit sad when the pain from pushing the pain killers out of the blister pack is enough to make you swear out loud 😱. Almost time to start the pestering the doctor for an appointment.
 
Good morning people.

Ooops that wasn't meant to be a full image!!!

I seem to have fallen off the wagon since I became ill. Well not seem to ~ I have.
My meter chucked out an 8.7 on this damp dark voting day.
3.0mmol higher than my normal waking. I tested 9.8 @ 03:0am!
Going for a chest xray later today. My GP has concerns that I have COPD but I can't be tested until 6wks after I've finished the steroids & antibiotics. O happy days!!

Hope everyone who is poorly sick feels better soon.
Take care and stay warm.

Have just tested again and my bg is now 7.2 phew! So it's coming down slowly. Right now its coffee time methinks!

Oh dear karloc that doesn't sound very nice at all. I hope the rash and joint pain disappear as quickly they came and you feel better very soon ((((Hugs)))) Keep us posted won't you.

Congrats to @Kaylz & @Northerner for your house specials. 🙂
You just beat me by 0.1, mine was 5.1 🙂

It's bin day again and I'm sure there's something else I've gotta do. 😉

Morning all. Perishing here but no snow. 8.2 @ 8.34am have a good day all.
 
Good morning voters🙂

I woke on 5.3 - close, but no cigar:confused:

I’m not usually out of bed at this ungodly hour, but I’ve got to get ready for a trip to Liverpool for a neuro appointment. Should be fun - Liverpool is my second favourite city. Doubt that the consultant is a Scouser, mind.🙄

Right - must get going. Vote with your conscience, and mind your way to the polling station, don’t trip over any homeless folk.

While I have my adventure, have a good day everyone.🙂
 
Congrats to those who got HS. Mine is down slightly at 6.9, so out of the 7s, but been up most of the night with a stomach issues, not sure if it was something I ate at last night's Christmas Party, a stomach bug as daughter as seems to be doing the rounds or just the Metformin taking a dislike to my dinner at Christmas Party.
 
At first I thought it was spam or a phishing attempt.
But all day yesterday I kept getting e-mails from Argos telling me My Click & Collect orders were ready to collect, quoting real order numbers and collection codes from my recent orders. I had already collected all of them a few weeks ago.

But I guess it was just poor old Argos's IT system groaning under the stress of increased Xmas activity. Once or twice I was tempted to hightail it on down there to collect my ill-deserved gains, but I'm much too honest to do that sort of thing (and much too scared that I might get caught!!) 🙄

Speaking of being scared, it's also a triskaidekaphobe's nightmare day today.😱

Another phobia that came up in a recent crossword, aichmophobia (fear of sharp objects) - not the sort of thing we'd want in our line of work.😛
Have a safe day everyone.

Morning all, 7.6 for me today. Hair cut and colour day today. No idea what colour I'm going yet.
 
Morning, woke to 5.6 after good nights sleep, out last night and sank few pints of Guinness, could have had few more but held back, couldn't have done that in younger years.

Disastrous night for Corbyn & Labour party, didn't expect anything else, pleased he's stepping down, time for rethink in hierarchy of party.
