Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 5.4 on a miserable day, just cleared the fridge out of the out of date grub, most of it just my Insulin left.🙄 A few members got bumps and bruises I see due to accidents.:(

Take it easy @Hazel sorry about your accident, at least make a complaint to the bus company.

Glad you are getting there @eggyg hope you enjoyed your Mexican Bash.🙂

@SueEK & @Robin hope you are progressing, take care.🙂

Great news @merrymunky doing well.😎

Have a good day folks and good luck to all with appointments.🙂
 
Thank you for your good wishes.

Just might be a slight improvement, as when I sat down there was just an 'ouch' as opposed to bloody hell or worse.

It is what it is. Just have to go with the flow.

Thank you
 
Ow, ow, ow...poor you @Hazel.😱:confused:😳 Hope you’re better ASAP.🙂

Good morning everyone. I hope all is well with you.

Sorry I have not been around, been a tad poorly. Last Wednesday, on a bus journey home, the bus started pulling away just before I reached my seat, then did an emergency stop, I went flying, landed heavily on my back. I thought I had broken my back.

I spent 5 hours in A and E, xrays showed no broken bones, but lots of soft tissue damage, doubly incontinent (now ok). Excruciating pain, despite heavy duty pain killers. Getting in/out of a chair, bed, even the loo, has been a nightmare. So from shoulder blades to my bum, particularly below the waist, ouch!!!

There is a wee improvement, but still a ways to go. Hospital said, 4-6 weeks, oh deep joy. Something so stupid, causing so much pain and discomfort.

Anyway 5.4 this morning.

Enjoy your day folks

You poor thing. That sounds horrendous!! Buses should be made to wait until people are seated!! Hope you are not as sore today.
 
Well, a very disappointing 10.2 for me this morning which is odd because I went to bed on a nice 6.4 and I'd had a pretty much carb free meal.... good quality quarter pounder with cauliflower cheese, brussel sprouts, mushrooms and aubergines.... and it was lush! I pre bolussed 6 units (5+1 correction unit) N/R 2 hours before my breakfast so that I was down to 6.5 before I ate but was back up to 10 by 2 hours after eating. Arrgh!
Keep planning a busy day of chores outside so don't want to increase basal, but then weather scuppers plans and I end up pottering on inside and could have done with that basal increase afterall.

@KARNAK
Ted it is so great to see you getting some sensible and reasonably stable numbers. Long may that continue.

@Hazel That is shocking and technically constitutes an injury R0ad Traffic Accident even if there was no collision with another vehicle and it should have been reported to the police. ....The relevant part of the Road Traffic Act....A Road Traffic Accident is reportable when, owing to the presence of a motor vehicle (the bus in this case) on a road, an accident occurs whereby injury is caused to someone other than the driver of that vehicle (ie you a passenger).
Did they call an ambulance to the bus for you or did you somehow make your own way to A&E.
Hope you get better soon, but it sounds like you had a really nasty fall. How are your BG levels? As others who have fallen recently have seen, they usually need more insulin for a few days. Take it easy and keep us posted on your progress.

I was left to make my own way to the hospital, carrying 2 very heavy bags of shopping.

Bloods, if anything, are low, but I am closely monitoring them

Thank you for your kind words

Thank you, marginally better today
I have gone from swearing like a trooper when I get up/down from a chair, to oh God, so progress I suppose.

It could have been so much worse
 
Good morning folks. Not really a waking figure as I haven’t managed to catch the zed train as it’s running very late lol. Another 5.3 for me . My conundrum is, do I have brekkie now as I am really hungry , but that means I will probably be hungry again and want some lunch or shall I chew my fingernails to the quick.

mmmm, early breakfast here I come, two slices of wholemeal toast nicely burnt as I love burnt toast , spread with peanut butter and a big mug of coffee with cream drool. oh just remembered got to jab my tum first.

I hope all our poorly and injured folks feel much better soon .
 
Morning all. Woken to a 4.8 today. I’ve dropped my insulatard to 4 units since I’ve still been sailing close to the wind with very low 4s on 5 units this week.
Finding it much harder to get out of bed for work this week. Would love a long lie in...roll on Saturday!
 
Good morning. A very disturbed night with a raging infection because although my doctor prescribed the necessary antibiotics it is going to take 3 days for them to kick in. This more than likely accounts for the 14.4 reading this morning.
 
5.3 for me. I mean I was like 6.something all yesterday because of the stress of the hospital visit, but now I'm back down to my usual start. I reckon BG if you could monitor it continuously would be a good way of properly measuring stresses and other psychology.
 
Morning Folks

Reporting a reading of 8.9 for this morning

Chilly on Oscar walk off to the office just now
 
Morning all.🙂 5.6 here.😛

Where are the builders?!! It’d be quicker for me to go to night class, learn to plaster to a high standard, and finish the job myself.:confused:😡

Hope the antibiotics do their job ASAP @Michael12421.
 
good morning all, I've got a 7.0 reading from me this morning
 
Morning all, 7.6 here, i obv didn’t need that Lotus biccy before bed.
Managed to sleep on my side for a bit last night,( first time since doing my ribs, I’ve had to sleep propped up ever since) and got the most classic example of a compression dip on the Libre I've ever seen.
