Group 7-day waking average?

4.8 for me this morning after I stopped taking my steroid inhaler yesterday, but I left it a little to long between bolus and breakfast and dropped to 3.5 before I got food going. Now up to 8.7 and feeling decidedly washed out, but then I have mucked out 4 horses and shifted a load of manure and got lots more to do before the storm arrives. Hope everyone stays safe. I am leaving all my indoor jobs for tomorrow, so I have plenty to keep me occupied out of the weather.... will be playing loud music to drown out the howling wind and lashing rain and try to keep my spirits up.... Did I mention I hate storms!

@Anitram and @AJLang Congratulations to your both on your House Specials..... I have decided I am going to have one soon as I am feeling a bit left out with everyone else getting them recently.... one for my birthday would be nice.
 
Good morning 10.3 kept high purposefully overnight back down to 6.1 now.🙂 Thankyou for all your kind words about my little flying trick in the bank,😳 got trouble wearing glasses and I can`t pick my nose with my little finger.:(:D Didn`t get onboard yesterday in fact didn`t switch on the computer, mind you the landline never stopped ringing.😡

Great call Amanda on HS congratulations.🙂

@Anitram sneaked that one in while I`m writing, congratulations on HS.🙂

Also @zoombapup for yesterday.🙂

Take care folks the clouds are moving in at a fast rate from the West, hopefully Dartmoor will take the brunt of it, stay safe folks enjoy Saturday.🙂
 
Hello campers, sorry not been around for a wee while, had a rotten head cold, elevated numbers - glad to say, on the mend.

Yesterday was 4.9
Today was 4.7

Glad to be back among you

Wrap up warm, as is reported to be a stormy weekend

Eating out can be tricky, but every once in a while will not harm too much and making low carb choices should eventually become easier as you get more experienced, your body gets used to not wanting carbs and hopefully restaurants and pubs start catering more for the low carb trend.... hate to be part of a trend but will be happy to take advantage of it and there is definitely a growing wave of interest in it.
Hope you enjoyed your meal? What did you have.... was it desperately naughty??
 
Hi Barbara

Loved it...3 course Chinese and had a few drinks in the local before hand..

I'll be good this weekend...Carb counting going fine looks like 1:1 ratio for insulin to carb portion CP

What type of food do you like?

Dave
 
@Dave Caldwell
Chinese is lovely but very difficult to bolus for and I hate the hangover feeling you get the next day.

My tastes are still changing as I develop my low carb high fat way of eating. Fortunately I have always liked fatty meat and lamb and duck are particular favourites and a nice fatty rib eye steak done in the oven in lamb fat with mushrooms or slow roasted belly pork or bacon/ham/gammon and good quality sausages. I love veggies cooked in butter and/or cheese or olive oil. I am trying to wean myself off my lifelong love of home grown potatoes. Also trying to improve my interest in fish..... I've never been keen on it. Cheese is my great love and has dramatically developed since I gave up on sweet stuff... I have become addicted to blue cheese in all it's forms since diagnosis. I enjoy Indian food and wish I had more confidence in cooking it myself and knowing how to use spices properly. Our local Indian takeaway closed and I haven't had Indian food since diagnosis last year.:(

🙂 LOL I will as soon as I'm better from this bug. I'm just concentrating on keeping going and trying to see to Mum and me. We're both badly. Brother is here helping us. Coughing up blood now! It's a bad 'un. I'll go and order some strips asap.
 
Hi all. Been lurking but not posted for a while. Been struggling with things a little bit. Anyway a happy 5.1 this morning

pleased to see @KARNAK is doing a lot better which is good to see.

@Kaylz hope you’re feeling better about things soon, sounds like you’ve had a stressful few days - hope Bruce is recovering.

@eggyg watch the grape juice!

Hope those who enjoy Rugby are enjoying the day

thanks hun, I've been an emotional wreck since last Sunday but feel I'm starting to perk up a bit, thanks he's doing much better, went back to work Wednesday and Thursday but was off yesterday due to annual gas safety check for his flat, he's still a bit sore but that's not uncommon or unexpected, great to see you posting again 🙂 xx
 
Please take care and stay safe during this storm.
Its pitch black here in East Kent, it’s raining, I can hear gusts of wind and the house is creaking away and can hear the odd thump on the outside doors and the (so called ) double glazed patio doors are trying to whistle a tune :D

Good morning . I have not read any posts yet, I will catch up later .

I woke to 5.5 with a lovely flatfish and a drippy nose .
Oh well it’s time for me to do some blood letting to see how my new sensor is behaving and a jab so I can have some breakfast soon.
 
6.1 on this windy day on the Brighton coast. Hubby still snoring, don’t know how he does it. He slept through the hurricane of ‘87 so shouldn’t be surprised. People’s security lights going on and off, bit like a fun fair here. Definitely a day for staying inside. Will make a nice comforting stew today I think.
Our local pub has closed with staff putting themselves in isolation due to contact with the latest Coronavirus victim, along with the local school having a child in isolation. well that’s nice 😉 😉
Stay safe everyone x
 
Good morning (not that its that good as been awake since 3am and no idea why but I'm exhausted already)

5.5 for me, was bad here last night but think weve got the calm before the storm at the moment, hoping my dad can get through this evening though seen as we cancelled last week, realised I missed out on the Aldi's pillows in the special buys that I was going to be getting last weekend too :(

Stay safe and warm everyone
Xx
