Group 7-day waking average?

6.5 for me. Have cut down carbs and seem to be only wanting smaller meals as I social distance at home. Suits my BS fine so I am happy with that. Had 100g of rice last night, salad and a chickpea/pea/caulfilower curry. Have a good day all.
 
Morning all it’s a 7.0 today 🙂

I’m sorry to read your sad news @eggyg

My neck and shoulders aren’t appreciating my extended once a day walk! Ironwoman walking on crutches guzzles glucose- will take more Skittles with me today!

Love the idea of a solar powered pancreas @Northerner:D

Hope you’re all doing as well as possible 🙂
 
Morning all, glorious sunshine here, the garden is a tip but blooming lovely. I think I have a rose out, isn't that early? I do have tulips and the daffs are still lovely. I need to take pix. 8.0 @ 5.58am for me today.

I’m sorry, that is very sad news @eggyg

I don't know how people's are managing with children at home stuck in, I can't even imagine it. What about people's in flats? Can't even go in the garden. Terrible.

Mum's heating has packed up, never rains but it pours, so the gasman is on his way with his own hand-washing stuff apparently and we have to keep to the 2mtr rule. Good, I have social anxiety, home visits of any kind are a nightmare for me.

I don't think the younger end are getting how serious this situation is. One of mine said they were meeting a friend in the park this w/e. Beggars belief. Had to say YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED!

The Doc was just on! Jodie cheering us all up.

Well their neighbours aren't having it easy that's for sure! We have it bad all the time but even worse just now, yesterday was trying to inject when the needle almost snapped in my leg due to extreme jumping about making the furniture move and obviously I was sitting on said furniture!

It's not just the younger generation, I called my grandad this morning as he was going to see if he could get me a loaf while he was at Scotmid this morning (about 30 seconds away from his house) this was at half 8 and I assume he'd been at Scotmid just after 7 as that's when the bread delivery generally is and he was on his way down from Lidl's when I phoned, I then know he's going up the street later to put a prescription in and when Bruce was out yesterday getting shopping etc my grandad was stood at the gate the whole time and had been up the street to the optician, when I said to him he cant be doing that he shouted at me that he gets fed up sitting in the house! He doesn't believe me when I tell him they may be able to fine him soon!

Everyone stay as safe as you can, and I truly mean this, this forum has kept me sane and I love you all. When we can whether later this year or even next we should do as large meet ups as we can, I can bring @Stitch147 with me as she is only about 30 mins drive away.

At the start of this year I was genuinely hoping to start up a Calendar of Meets, like we used to have regularly every year - I've met hundreds of members personally, some on many occasions, and there is really nothing better, people never go away disappointed, especially if we can get some momentum around it 🙂 We'll have to see how things go, and where we all stand when some sort of normality returns to all our lives 🙂

Morning all, a rare excursion into the 5s with a 5.4 here. Must have been the walk yesterday. Signs of Spring, the larks were twittering away in the sunshine....and a farmer was slurrying his fields. At least it proves I haven’t lost my sense of smell!

Happy memories @Robin I wonder if that's what's happened to my toilet. 😳 :D

Good afternoon another 7.1 on another beautiful day,🙂 so busy this morning no time to get on the forum and post.:( I finally climb on board and spent so much time reading and replying to other threads forgot to post morning figures. Tried to book a delivery slot from the supermarkets😱 no chance.🙄 Lidl`s only down the road but if we go into complete quarantine a fat lot of good that will be,😡 stop moaning Ted stay cool.😎

Sad loss @eggyg thinking of you all.

Great idea @Grannylorraine can you pick me up too?😛

Great photo`s @Northerner we need more of it.🙂

Well the suns still showing its face and Charlie moon will be a bit late me thinks, don`t forget if you are inclined to clap for the front line workers at 20:00hrs. Take care folks at a time like this we all need each other, stay safe my friends.😉
 
An unprecedented 7.2! 😉 Don’t know where that came from. A lovely frosty morning, just been out to fill up the bird feeders and they’re here all ready. The starlings are panic eating the meal worms, they are greedy birds. Probably another day in the garden today, I’ve decided to not exercise my right to exercise today as I’m finding it too stressful. Doesn’t matter where or when you go for a walk there’s these people everywhere! They never used to walk! Do they think it’s a directive or something from the government that they HAVE to exercise? I’m assuming it’s because of the glorious weather we are having, wait til it changes then we’ll see who the fair weather walkers are!😉 Of course I’m only joking, anyone can walk anywhere they like ( as long as it’s not on my patch!). Have a freaky Friday and stay home and stay safe.🙂
 
Morning all it's a 6.3 from me this morning Hope everyone is safe and well as can be
 
Morning

Bagged a Coop wholemeal loaf yesterday, hoping to find Hovis wholemeal close to home as lower carb per slice, apparently Lidl’s in the next town is starting to see a calm so hopefully the same for our towns, insider info I got delivery days and times of bread deliveries to both Lidl and Scotmid, the early bird catches the worm and all that

Sensor was delivered yesterday although received a text not long after he’d been saying an attempt had been made and a card left telling me what to do next even though it was sat on the table! Called Tesco mobile as had an email about my contract, upgraded today, £1.50 less a month but 6GB more data so for £12 I’ll be getting 3000 minutes, 5000 texts and 12GB data and as I’d used half of my 6GB for this month she added 8GB free to see me through until my new contract starts on the 9th April

Anyways 6.4 for me this morning, have told Bruce not to come up until about 3, tensions are running high and spending too much time together we're getting under each others feet and its causing arguments (Bruce and my mum) so it cant carry on like that, he probably wont be happy but I'm not bothered I want to be able to relax more!!

Morning all, 5.8 here. Had a hiccup last night, did the air shot on my basal pen, nothing came out. Tried again..nothing. Eventually unscrewed the pen, plunger was completely retracted in the top bit of the pen. (cartridge a couple of days old, seemed to be working OK before this). Had a fiddle and released it, and it seems to be working again, phew, now is not the time to be ringing up the surgery to request a new one! (I do have a spare, which would be fine, but it doesn’t do half units). Good job I noticed, though. How many of us do the air shot on autopilot and don’t really clock if any insulin comes out?
 
Morning all,
A 6.2 for me this morning.
Going to have to venture out for food etc. Just don't know when is a good time.
After trying for a delivery slot at Tesco, Morrison, Waitrose, Asda and Iceland to no avail and Sainsbury's wont even let me register atm!
So much for staying in...
Anyway I did give the summerhouse a coat of splosh yesterday and talked to a nice man through the fence as he was walking down the railway line. The work that they have been doing for weeks is hopefully ending and trains resume on Monday. This will help key workers I am sure!
Blessings with frost Snowwy
 
Oh blimey 7,8 for me today, not happy with that. Am back at work as from Monday, Practice Manager rang yesterday, all of us ‘vulnerable’ group will be in one hub. My husband finishes work today and will only get sick pay as he is past retirement age so yet another drop in income, still would rather he was at home being safe!! Take care all, stay home xx
 
Morning all. 🙂 4.4 here.:D

Another lovely day...I’ll never get my essay done at this rate! Managed to coax some ugly stumps out of the garden yesterday to make room for a lavender patch - very satisfying. My knitting’s coming along nicely, thanks to a few YouTube tutorials. Hubby’s doing any shopping that needs doing...I may never leave the house again.

Stay well, good peeps.😛
 
Morning all and a rather surprising 5.8 for me after a day of random unexpected higher than usual readings. I think a tweak of the morning levemir may be in order.

Have a good day everyone.

The timer function on my Echo has stopped working so I was thinking about ordering a new one, but then, like you, I thought I would leave it - don't need any other items at the moment so can wait a month 🙂

I went to my local Co-op at 2:30 yesterday and thought the shelves were much sparser than the 'Times of Plenty', there were most of the things I needed 🙂 I reasoned that the early rush will have been and gone and the staff would have had a bit of calm to replenish the stocks 🙂 Good luck! 🙂
