Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, glorious here. 🙂 7.8 @ 6.35am going down already, started low carb yesterday.

Lol at the news, Channel 4 I think, they said just for a change from the virus here are some Ospreys but they'd cleared off! :D A nice shot of the nest though.

Haha! Yes, I saw that (or rather, I didn't!) :D
 
Thanks everyone. I was out of the way a bit doing Easter displays for our entrance lobby.
 
@ColinUK Good to see you are getting stable good readings. I hope that means you are also feeling much better

@Michael12421 Concerned that you haven't logged a reading this morning Michael. Please let us know that you are OK.
I was horrified to read that you lost 3 teeth the other day. That is really awful, Hope they are still not causing you pain and your wounds and bruises are healing.
Really wish you had continued with those higher readings for a week more. I think you would be much safer aiming to keep them in low double figures even for a couple of weeks after such nasty episodes as you have had. Please take care of yourself and your four legged friends in these difficult times.
 
@Robin and @Northerner Congrats to you both for hitting the target this morning. Well done!
 
Morning All, Well its a 5.4 for me this morning and that's even after having a little bit of an easter egg last night so I'm happy with that hope everyone has a good day and stay safe and well
 
I really don’t know why my BGs appear to be so consistently high at the moment ( for me that is) a 7 for me this morning. I don’t feel ill, haven’t over indulged in carbs, going to bed on a reasonable number. Last night was 6.5, pretty perfect I would think. The only thing I can think of is I have been so hot the last few nights and feel like I have tossed and turned all night, therefore not feeling rested at all when I get up. Could that be it does anyone think? I’m reluctant to up my basal just yet. I know they aren’t massive numbers but I feel like I’m playing catch up all day. Sometimes it’s just unfathomable. Groundhog Day again, only excitement is clapping at 8 o’clock tonight. MUST. REMEMBER. TO. NOT. PUT. PJs. ON. TOO. EARLY!
 
Morning all, lovely day here. 6.3 this morning. @eggyg I find if I have a restless night my bg is quite a bit higher and certainly if I am a little stressed, I don’t understand the reasoning behind it but diabetes is a fickle foe.
I am going to do my full weeks shop today, am going to the early session for nhs staff at Sainsbury’s which I haven’t done before so will see how it goes and hope I can get all I need this time. Am going to water jet the back patio today so that should be fun. Will definitely be out again tonight clapping for our front line staff, God bless them for all they are doing. Stay safe everyone xx
 
Morning

Another afternoon of sorting things yesterday, 6.6 at bedtime and did not want a repeat of yesterday morning so had a digestive which left me with a 5.6 this morning

Mums still refusing to open the living room window even a crack saying "its oor cald oot there" but its nae, opened one in my room (colder side of the house) and was still sweating in my bed, have no idea what her problem is 🙄
Xx
 
Morning all. An early rise today.
4.8 and another flat line overnight for me.

Pilates and coffee ‘with’ a friend afterwards.
I think after that the garden will win over sewing/weaving.
Save that for the weekend when it is going to cool down.

Morning Kaylz. I love s bit of fresh air in the house whatever the temperature outside.
 
Good morning. Yesterday was a sad day for me as my friend David was cremated. I could not of course go to the UK I just put up a photo of the crematorium, poured a glass of whisky and sat in quiet contemplation. I also was a tad ill and yesterdays reading was 27. I did not eat all day and kept testing and taking corrective doses. Woke to a 14 this morning.
 
5.1 this morning for me. 🙂
Yesterday I got the results of my colonoscopy on March 10th, "All polyps removed were benign, Follow up check in 3 years." Only one thing to worry about now. 😱
Our NHS people are heroes and I'll certainly be clapping for them again tonight.

I would imagine it's partly due to underlying stress from not being able to escape the situation - certainly I have been feeling that, even though I'm fairly relaxed about the whole isolation business. Also, even if you've been going for your walk each day, you will have been far less active overall recently. I keep telling myself to take a complete 'news holiday' for at least a day or two, but have failed so far in that endeavour! 🙄
 
@SB2015 if the situation at the moment was different I'd be asking if I could come and stay with you! I don't know how she manages to sit in here without any windows open as I suffer EVERY day!

Oh for those that read the stainless steel kettle gave up on us, she finally bought a new one from Curry's online last night as I was refusing to pay for yet another appliance, its already been despatched apparently so that's not too bad, I can definitely taste the plastic in my cuppy using the plastic kettle

Got a text from the range this morning telling me the order I placed on the 29th March had finally been despatched, I'd like to see them achieve this though, seems they are travelling back in time!

5.7 for me this morning - not really deserved as I have been over-eating on the carbs for a couple of days.

Lovely day today as I look out at the garden coming to life with lots of spring colour. - and some entertainment going on as well, watching my husband chasing the squirrels away - they just hide and wait until he comes inside then come back again.
