Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 4.7 here. It’s looking a bit hazy over towards the far ridge. Dare i say it, we need some rain to wash the dust out of the air and restore the clear blue skies. (I know, I know, remember February Floods and be careful what you wish for)
 
5.3 this morning for me. 🙂
Bit of a dull day so far, but hey-ho you can't have everything.🙄
To those of you pottering about in the garden or taking legal/lawful exercise take care.
High pollen count in most areas https://www.netweather.tv/weather-forecasts/uk/pollen

Stay safe and well.

We need rain for our pond, it’s drying up!
 
Good morning it’s a 6.1 today.

I like the look of the Flamineggo hope it tasted good @ColinUK .

I’ll be wearing my new party clothes today to sashay around my approved walk as was booked to do a double act with my sister with slides and witty comments about her husband at his 60th party. Another time hopefully🙂

I hope you’re all doing ok🙂
 
Hi All. Lovely sunny day. Just perfect for sitting and enjoying the birds chirping and otherwise total silence. It’ll be odd if we ever get back to normal ..... think it’ll be a different world when we do..... new normals

Had one of my really awful hypos yesterday afternoon took a while to sort out plenty of jelly babies and not great in the night either more jelly babies. 4.9 currently which is ok but a bit low to function at the moment feel wobbly and shattered.

Have a lovely Easter weekend at home keep the internet busy to see family !
After a wobbly night it is no wonder you feel shattered.
Perhaps a day to enjoy the sun and rest a while, and listen to those birds.
 
Morning all and 6.4 for me.

Tackled the ivy at the side of the house yesterday. Better not do too much more as we can't get rid of the stuff at the moment.

Have a good day everyone.
Mr Eggy cleared the summer house out yesterday, it’s just a shed really but with a rattan sofa in, and put it all in the dining room! We figured we’d be using the shed, errr I mean summer house, more than the dining room at this present time!
 
Good morning folks. I have not read any posts yet, so I hope everyone is ok.

After what has been happening with my BGs the last few days , I an most surprised to report in with a HS this morning though my graph is o_O as I have the double whammy of a uti and a rather strange cold that is trying it’s hardest to become a chest infection, dad has it too (not the uti :D) and we both feel wiped out . I was trying to eat a bit of dinner last night, if I hadn’t had jabbed in the Insulin for it I would have given up because of the effort to feed myself , my arms felt like lead weightso_O, mind you I think it is because they had come out in sympathy with my legs lol
My insulin needs of both Basal and bolus have shot up too .
Dad started to feel a bit better last night so fingers crossed he’s on the mend now .
Stay safe everyone .
I am off for some much needed coffee while I get my toaster to burn a couple of slices if toast for me , I haven’t lost my appetite :D.
Take care both of you, and I hope that you start to feel better soon.
 
Good morning everyone. Spent most of the early hours in pain. Scanned at 5.15 and it was 16.6 - then realised that my pump cannula had come out. BG tested and 17.7 - after replacing cannula I injected five units of bolus. An hour later it is 19.9 with ketones. Hopefully the insulin will start kicking in soon.
That first hours is horrid after a problem. It is hard to remember the action time of this insulin when you just want those levels down. I hope they are back on track now, and that the pain has receded.

Good morning 🙂 6.1 for me today 🙂 Weather woman was claiming it was scorchingly hot glorious sunshine yesterday, but actually it was quite cool here, with hazy sunshine 🙄 Think it may be warmer today, probably too warm to do any gardening, so I'd better just sit out in the garden and read my book 🙂

Hope everyone has a good day 🙂
 
4.4 this morning.

Have woken the past few mornings to the dawn chorus. A lovely way to start the day.
Does anyone know why they do all that and then go silent for quite a while?

We will have to fill the pond this morning as it is getting low.
Tried from the water butt yesterday but that had dried up in this weather.

Have a good day one and all.

I hope your BGs and ketones are ok now .
 
Thank you everyone. After whacking in a total of 9 units (last lot at 7.15am) at 10am I’m now happily at 8.6 with no ketones 🙂 I‘m counting my lucky stars that thanks to the Libre I knew that there was a problem.
 
Good morning 6.1 on a beautiful day,🙂 been for my walk but not allowed on the beach.:( Got rid of a few more white bits yesterday afternoon sun is doing good work on my torso even my toe nails have gone red.:D

Congratulations on HS @Ljc and hope you feel better soon and dad.🙂

Take care @AJLang and @Bexlee {{{HUGS}}} for you both.🙂

I`m off for a bit more sunbathing while its available, tale care folks and stay safe.🙂

It was warmer here today, but not particularly hot. I sat outside reading, but after about an hour it clouded over and became very nippy again :( Of course, as soon as I'd given up and taken all my things back indoors the clouds cleared 🙄
