Group 7-day waking average?

Got a 6.0 this morning. I blame the winds. Not sure how the two are linked, but I'm blaming them anyway.

Well they say metaformin can cause it 😉 haha!
 
Congratulations @Robin and @Anitram for your HSs! Wow!
I haven't tested as I have some sore fingers and having a rest from it - although maybe I should have tested as Mr G and I went for a late Brunch and I had a few tastes from his plate (hash brown)<<< mourning a favourite... 🙄 and I ordered some baked beans as a treat thinking I would get a few and ended up with a plateful! However, I was good enough to order an omelette and was stuffed and stopped eating rather than polishing the plate!
I had a false hypo but think that could have been the treat of cream in my coffee?! It may have been worth recording the damage.

Very windy here, fallen trees and our chimney's having fun. Got caught out in the lashing, horizontal rain and crossing one road home arrived looking as if I had just stepped out of the ocean fully clothed... so house full of wet clothes now.

Did a test just now and 5.1 so not a waking BG but any damage done this AM seems to undone itself. That dash through the rain may have helped! 😉

Stay safe.

I know it's a long time coming Sue but it will happen one morning/day/evening so don't give up. Stay hydrated and keep the carbs to the minimum one evening and you WILL wake up to the elusive House Special.

Well 'That Was The Weekend That Was!!!':(

Good morning peoples. Hope everyone weathered the horrendous Storm Ciara and not come to any harm or suffered any loss or damage. For those of you who have livestock and pets I trust that they are safe too. I imagine they were very frightened. The gales are still very strong in this neck of the woods and it thrashed it down all night. I'll venture outside very cautiously later to check the roof hasn't been ripped off!

So I went to bed on a 5.5 and woke to a surprising 6.6 ~ I'll say no more!

Please stay safe my friends and take care if you have to venture out. ~ and wrap up warm.

Good morning

A digestive biscuit induced

No idea if theres much damage outside, too pitch black to see a thing but there wasnt when I was out last night

@Neens I wouldn't see a reason for the cream in a coffee to cause a false hypo as there are less carbs and more fat than you get in milk hence why many use it instead of milk

Anyways have a good day, I'm off to wrap up on the sofa and hope this thumper of a headache shifts

Congratulations @Kaylz! 🙂
 
Good morning 🙂 5.9 for me today 🙂 Goodness it was wild last night, the wind was so strong it was actually quite scary - certainly the worst I have heard since I moved up here, and I live on top of a hill in North Yorkshire, so it's frequently quite breezy 😱 The wind was literally howling and roaring, the house was practically shaking and it felt like the windows might get blown out 😱 One advantage of living at the very top of the hill though is no flooding - I hope that everyone has escaped the worst of it. My home town in the Calder Valley is flooded, I wonder if BJ will bother coming to visit now that he doesn't have to?

Have a safe, warm, dry day everyone 🙂
 
Morning all, 4.9 here. Survived the trip to riding yesterday, got within half a mile of the stables and discovered a tree across the road. Detour would be 10 miles and make us late. But then, Community spirit at its best, a farmer turned up in a JCB and pushed the tree mainly off the road, everyone got out of their cars and collected up the broken bits of branches and threw them onto the verge, ten minutes later we were all on our way.
Congrats on the HS, @Kaylz!
 
4.6 for me (same as yesterday). 🙂
I must be doing something right. :D
A much calmer morning here but Met warnings of snow and ice. Brrrrrr 😱

Keep safe everybody.

Aye we’ve had it rough Baz, haven’t we? But us Cumbrians are tough as old boots we’ll get through it, AGAIN!
 
6.2 this morning.
Storm was really harsh, garden fence flattened and bird feeders all blown down, but sunshine after the storm now.
 
Morning all. A very, nice and unusual ( for me) 5.9. It must have been the walk through Storm Ciara yesterday afternoon. Blimey it was a bit breezy and a tad wet, little old Carlisle suffered again, but after threats of evacuation last night, it appears the water has receded. Thank goodness, like @Northerner we live on a hill but very close to a river. Whilst out yesterday we had a walk down as we knew it had burst its banks. Wow! It was pretty bad. The worst is over now for us, I hope everyone else is ok.
