Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning . 4.7 with a flatfish .
 
Morning all, snap @Northerner a 6.4 for me too. Rushing to get off to work, last day for 11 days yippee. Have a good one all x
 
6.8 - Well that’s what I get for that baguette yesterday I guess. Lesson learnt.
Worth noting that I’m also bloated and feeling really rather sluggish.
 
Good morning

5.5 for me today and a nightmare free night, still not much sleep though 🙄 took the worst dizzy spell when I sat up this morning, guess that's the Joy's of the new meds, hopefully I'll get used to them soon and not have too many repeats!

Very chilly here this morning so I'm going to wrap up warm and hope the plumber turns up, phoned yesterday but coming up on the system at the council that they have 3 days to come and fix it, never mind theres water piddling out everytime we run water or empty the sink and the old soup tub is being emptied constantly as filling up 🙄

Anyways hope you all have a better/more exciting day ahead
Xx
 
Goood morning.🙂 5.6 here.😛

My poor course tutor, Dr H, is not a well man, so I’ve got a new tutor while he’s receiving treatment - best get some reading done today so that I come across as half-intelligent when I meet Dr Newbie. 🙄

Keep warm folks.:D

Reporting a reading of 7.1 for this morning

last night I put my new cycling tights on to show my wife - after she stopped rolling around the settee in fits of laughter she informed me that I am not going out in those tights - I did look like a ballet dancer gone wrong mind so maybe I will just wear them under my cycling trousers.
 
Morning all, 7.1 after treating a non existent hypo at 2am! Swiped the Libre, got 3.4 with a downward arrow, assumed I’d woken up because I was low, so treated it. This morning, there’s not a single dip into the red on the trace. I didn’t imagine it, the reading is there in the list. Can only assume it was the algorithm that tries to catch up the gap deciding I was going low, when all that was happening was maybe a little compression drop.
 
Morning all. Still rather dark up here. A very disappointing 7 for me. Ah well, today’s another day for the mysteries of the big D. After some nagging, I got early release out of walkers prison and had a quick stomp around the block yesterday. Fair to say, Mr Eggy is now saying “ I told you so”. Back to prison again! No Wednesday Wander this week. It’s ok I’m getting to the conclusion in my book so that’ll be the extent of my excitement today. That and starting to fill up my new 7 litre sharps bin! Have a great day. 🙂
 
Good morning all, I've got a reading of 7.3 this morning

Mr Eggy has MAMIL gear ( middle aged man in Lycra) both long and short, and our girls refuse to look at him when he has it on. A funny story. A few years ago when we were both wage slaves and I was still been treat as a Type 2 ( long story) and was on gliclazide, I took a turn at work and was reading in the twos. I was promptly shunted to the docs by my colleagues. The doc said I had to get someone to pick me up as I wasn’t allowed to drive home. I called Mr Eggy who panicked and cycled to docs pronto. We then walked to the car park to pick up my car and put his bike in the boot. That was when I noticed he had his MAMIL shorts on inside out AND back to front so the padded bit was on show, if you know what I mean! Moral of the story, don’t get dressed in a cupboard in your office when you’re in panic mood! :D

I've had a few occasions where it's shown a hypo by then not recorded it as such in my 'hypos per week' - I can only assume that it does indeed require a certain amount of time at low levels for it to record as such 🙂

Sorry to hear your brief escape has put you back behind the bars of walker's prison :( I ventured out to the local shop for a telly mag yesterday and am paying for it now, foot doesn't seem to be recovering at all, so frustrating :(

Hope we're both back out on the hills by the time the daffs are blooming! 🙂
 
4.9 for me this morning. SMILE (Smilies not working for some reason)
Gotta stay in again and wait for another delivery.
In short Amazon delivered a £900 phone, instead of the more modestly priced one we were expecting.
Was tempted to keep it - but only for about 2 minutes.

Have an honestly good day everyone. ;-))

5.9 This morning -so still just scrapping into the 5s thank goodness.
Sunshine here today, and in spite of the cold first daffodil just opening in a sheltered bit of the garden, Yeah! Spring is on the way.
 
6.6 this morning, along with the effects of the brand of Metformin that was my last prescription, don't have issues with all the other brands except this one in the blue box. Going to speak to the DN abut going on slow release as I am not able to go to work today, lucky I can work from home, but I can't risk the 1/2 journey, and definitely metformin not stomach upset.
