Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all on this damp day. Well it is the weekend what do we expect. A nice, round 6 for me, that’s after a 1 unit correction before bed as I was a big fat 10! I’m totally blaming Mr Eggy, I had cooked a nice low carb monkfish Mediterranean stew and he bought a crusty multigrain cob to go with it. I had eaten a slice before I’d even dished it out! Delicious! The bread and the stew that is.
I’m doing nothing today. I can’t wait! Have a stupendous Saturday whatever you decide to do. 🙂
 
5.1 this morning. 🙂
Just 0.1 short of the magic number. :(
I don't think I've ever had 5.3? o_O

Stay safe everyone.

6.0 for me this morning, in spite of the indulgence in a mini choc-ice last night.

Not so many carb deviations this week as I didn't have my usual couple of days at my daughter's 'house of carbs'.
I have been 'banished' from going there as they live in an area where the dreaded virus is being busy, and the boy's school has been closed. My daughter has heard all the news reports that diabetics are particularly at risk and won't be persuaded otherwise. I will miss seeing them all and it is difficult to see how long this will go on for.

Some sunshine today I think, so a chance to start getting the garden sorted out.
Have a good weekend everyone.
 
7.4 this morning, not surprised as had a McDonalds last night as we were running late. Periodontal appt was yuk. Can’t bore you with the details as I told him I didn’t want to know them but do know I need two surgical procedures both with sedation something to do with bone grafts etc. Am awaiting a quote. Will definitely need a tooth extracting, no sedation for that. Am so fed up with it and the thought of it. I really look after my teeth and it’s all genetic, my brother has no teeth left, but it doesn’t make me feel any better.
Well done on the HS @Kaylz . Enjoy your weekend all x

Diabetes is listed as one of the health issues that places people at greater risk but when you consider that at one end of the spectrum are those in remission and at the other end those on insulin, and others in between, on a variety of oral meds, it seems a bit like a generalisation. Does a 71-year-old T2 like me have the same risk as a 30-something T1, for example.

Anyway, goes without saying that we all need to do what's necessary to stay safe but I'm finding that all the hand washing is making my hands very dry so am having to use moisturiser on them.

I imagine that it would be more difficult for some Type 2s, as the main problem is that illness can cause your levels to climb high. For people on insulin it's possible to inject extra insulin to help control things, so you have a tool to help - most oral meds wouldn't help :(
 
Congrats :D on the house special @Kaylz. I’m going to shout snap - a 5.2 from me too TWICE in a week! Won’t happen again for a while I suppose.

Looking forward to the rugby later but I’m afraid I’m for the white win @Anitram much to my Welsh brother-in-laws disgust. Hope it’s a good game.

Only one more week and the F1 is back - yay. Well if you count free practice only 5 days .

Have a great day everyone.
 
Good morning 7.2 gradually coming down with Basal adjustments. 🙂 Two more cases of Coronavirus in the area and two more Dr`s surgery closed and two schools closed. Great day yesterday sun wise but back to normal today,🙄 went to Podiatrist yesterday and she gave me a prescription for Flexitol with 10% Urea cream.🙂

Congratulations on HS @Kaylz & @Bexlee & @ColinUK.:D

Rugby today here`s to a England win, sorry @Anitram.😳

Have a good day folks stay well and safe, take care.🙂

A bit damp and windy outside,

Take care, Blessings Snowwy
 
Good morning

Starting to brighten up nicely hopefully it warms up too, was cold and dull most of yesterday with rain thrown in late afternoon, it then started blowing a gale in the evening but the neighbours were still out the front drinking till late on 😡

Have a nice relaxing Sunday my lovelies
Xx
 
6.3 this morning. Which isn’t a surprise as I ate a veggie English, pizza, then McD’s and Tunnocks Tea Cakes 🙂
