Group 7-day waking average?

Yep, my manager came up to me and one other member of staff who is type 1 and told us we shouldn't be in work and to go home, potentially for 12 weeks!!! They are going to let us know if anything changes.
I suppose that's what you get for working at a classier establishment, well done to the management for such a generous and thoughtful decision 🙂
 
Hi there
I won’t list my post hypo (or post false-hypo) reading this morning as it’s way too high and will raise your average too much but I’ll try again tomorrow
Hehe! :D This thread has been running for almost 9 years and has nearly 57,000 posts in it, I gave up calculating the average years ago! :D Ought to have changed the title of the thread, but everyone is familiar with it now, and new people soon realise its purpose, which is mainly to check in with each other and chat about how we are doing, what we have planned etc. 🙂

(the average, I came to realise after a few months, is about 5.8 mmol/l 🙂 I doubt it will have changed much 🙂
 
Morning all. 🙂 4.2 here.:D

Went to our little Tesco yesterday. Posters up everywhere about social distancing. Ev1 respecting advice at the till. I went over to the self-service till. Next thing, a young woman appears at the till next to mine and actually shoves me...wot? Some people are just...I dunno...stupid / away with the fairies / oblivious?

Stay safe folks.🙂
That's absolutely despicable. I saw reports of an elderly lady being trampled upon and having items snatched from her shopping basket. 😡

Good grief, where was that? Really is despicable. :(

7.5 @ 5.33am gorgeous this morning, have the blind halfway down as the sun is so strong.

Still can't get a slot at Iceland, it gives you the option of clicking as an ol' bid or a poorly person but then there's only 4 days given and they aren't available unless I'm doing it wrong. :( It's the only shop I'm registered for. Got to go out whatever Boris says.

Same here re Tesco nowt till after 12 April - trying sainsbury's next...

Keep safe distance ditto.
 
It's getting bad here now, I was 9.1 this morning and have just been told that dog walking is now prohibited. The dogs will not get any exercise and neither will I unless I have to go to the shops or pharmacy.

Sorry to hear that but better to be safe than sorry.
 
Good morning folks. 7.0 with a very uneven line.

I nearly passed out with shock, around 1 this morning, I saw a couple of delivery slots for Weds on Iceland’s site, so I nabbed one.
 
Morning, up at the crack again. It’s all very discombobulating at the moment isn’t it? Another 6.7 for me. The birds are singing, somethings never change. Had a very long walk yesterday, over 8 miles but I would imagine we won’t be doing that again for a while. I’m fine with that, we’re literally over the road from a river, so can do a circular walk, it’s usually devoid of human life, will take half an hour or so, that’ll be our daily exercise plus the gardening. With any luck it’ll be all over sooner rather than later. Take care everyone. 🙂
 
Morning

Bruce is off today but the company are having a meeting to see if they can find a loophole that allows them to stay open, I do hope they aren't successful, Bruce still going to have to come to mines for tea as he has no means of getting hot food at his, hes here everyday so it's not going to make a difference, grandad will still be for tea too, hes literally a minute up the road, he better take all this in and stop standing at the gate though!

Hopefully replacement sensor will come today, got some e liquid supplies arriving too

Anyways 6.5 today

Stay sane folks
Xx
 
Morning All, today's reading is 6.7 for me , hope everyone stays safe and well
 
Morning all, 6.6 here. Expecting the plumber this morning, to fix the heating (it’s not broken, just needs a tweak). Assume plumbers are allowed to carry on working, we can’t have the elderly dying of hypothermia instead of Covid.

Some plumbers are only dealing with emergencies which are blocked toilets, no hot water, leaking taps and burst pipes, not sure if that's how my FIL is going to run things now, so as yours isn't actually broken if they are running that way then I'd expect a call, council have stopped all house repairs unless an absolute emergency up here as well xx
 
6.1 this morning 🙂
I ran out of deodorant yesterday. 😡
I don't think that's classed as essential shopping. 😛
Mind you, if I have to stay indoors for a while, people will have no choice about keeping their distance from me! 😱

Stay safe and well.

I woke up at 7am with a lovely 5.2 by 8.30 it was 12.7 and still climbing! I’ve changed my pump stuff and shoved in five units of bolus!
