Group 7-day waking average?

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.

If you are happy in them you wear them. I am a granny who runs in bright lycra.
 
I was 4.6 when I got up this morning.

Shocking black ice on roads, and pavements, been a long time since it was that bad

Be safe people
 
Good morning 11.3🙄 2 units of NR correction dose down to 4.6.🙂 Been AWOL for a few days catching up on paperwork I think I need a secretary, suns shining outside temperature13.C on the gauge.😎 I`ll catch up with yesterday and Mondays posts and reply accordingly, I see @eggyg and @Northerner are still struggling:( rest and a bit of self indulgence needed.😉

Got to go to the club today:(:D Wednesday meet up with friends.

Have a good day folks stay safe.🙂
 
Well, I am very happy with a 4.4 this morning but really would like a bit more consistency as I seem to be 8-10 a lot of the time or too low. How do you guys get regular 5s and 6s? I feel like a complete novice chucking darts at a board and praying that I just hit anything whereas most of you guys are clustering your arrows around the treble 20 (or HS), even if you don't hit it every time..... I guess practice makes perfect.

it all depends on what you go to bed on, plus I seem to remember you may have gone to bed less than 4 hours after your last injection (correct me if I'm wrong though!), a lot of us tend not to do that as if we wait until its out of our system to see whether we need to take carbs on board so we don't drop in the night or wake close to the edge xx
 
Yes, I know part of the problem is my erratic lifestyle and eating habits and particularly eating late at night. I really need to make a concerted effort to get into a routine. I have been like this for the past 35 years as a result of working rotating shifts so it might be even more difficult to break than my sugar and carb habit..... but I have conquered that, so maybe this is the next step that I really need to focus on.
 
@rebrascora I lived an even worse lifestyle, not eating breakfast, going out to start a job for 9am, quite often not having dinner even though I didn't finish until 6, getting home for about half 6, having a meal (sometimes I didn't bother) then I'd either go out to the pub and eat crisps and whatever food was served at halftime of darts or sit at home drinking and eating crisps/chocolate etc, I turned life around as soon as I was diagnosed, starting eating 3 proper meals a day with at least 4 hours between, went from drinking a lot every night to alcohol free in less than 2 months and I'd been drinking since before I was legal age, so changing is very doable and if it leads to better control then great, diabetes likes routine more than anything so it really would work in your favour xx
 
Good morning folks, I woke up feeling yucky so I knew my BGs were high before I tested .
I decided to bodge my finger instead of a scan , it showed a horrible and un-accountable 10.8. The 2 units correction should bring that down a bit.

I hope you all have a good day.

Drink, biscuit or French royalty?
 
good Morning all , well it is cold here today . My reading is 6.8 this morning
 
Good morning 🙂

4.7 here, plumber arrived yesterday afternoon and quickly established there was a problem with the trap so replaced that (dont ask me I dont have a clue lol) and then gave it a plunge as it keeps getting choked no matter how much drain stuff we put down it, other flats have been getting their new bathrooms though so might not be long until we get ours, that's if the OT ever decides to visit! 🙄

Cold and frosty here today so I'm going to wrap up warm and cuddle up on the sofa as having a bit of a down time just now

@Ljc I hope you feel better soon!

Have a nice cosy day folks
Xx

It’s the MAMIL’s ‘front bottom’ that always catches my eye, even tho I’m trying to look everywhere but.🙄

Morning all.🙂 5.8 here.😛

We’re going window shopping this morning...no, we’re not shopaholics trying to save money - we need new windows!:D
 
Morning all, 7.2 here. Overdid the painting at my son’s on Tuesday while I was waiting for his sofa, so paid for it yesterday with uncomfortable ribs. Swelling seems to have gone down a bit this morning. My OH and Mr.eggy need to form a husband’s self-help group, @eggyg! How to keep their injured wives from overdoing it!
