Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning it's an on the edge 3.9, biscuit please!

It's a beautiful morning and such a contrast to have chirpy birds and sunny blue skies up against a devastating global pandemic :(

Hoping you had a better night @Ditto 🙂

Time to toss a coin and see if I go for a walk clockwise or anti clockwise avoiding the couple who asked me yesterday if my broken leg hurt and I said " It's ok I'm on drugs" their faces when they thought I was the local addict 😱

Hope you're all doing ok 🙂
 
I don’t know anything about sleep apnoea but might it be that?

I'm afraid it's just sheer piggery and a kind of acid reflux. I was 'good' yesterday and slept like a log or until Mum needed the commode at any rate.

Over 9 this morning but I was up not long after 3 so I'm not counting it or it was them noodles I had for tea. Have a lovely day all and thank yous for your kind words. 🙂
 
Well, I went to bed on 6.1. Gave myself 7 units of basal instead of 8 but was convinced I would wake up high. Horrible bad dreams kept waking me up between 3 and 4am and felt a bit hot and sweaty but eventually I decided I had better get up and test and I was 3.3. Had a ginger shortbread and waited until I was 4.7 and went back to bed. Got up this morning feeling groggy and I was 3.7. Didn't want to over treat with DP about to kick in so just had one Dextrose tablet and that together with DP brought me up to 6.4.
I think my hypos were due to the amount of digging I did in the garden yesterday and not enough adjustment of basal and also not having any dinner two nights in a row.... I quite like the idea of just having one proper meal a day mid afternoon with a snack like a boiled egg in the morning and some veggie sticks and dip and a chunk of cheese at night but my basal has previously been dealing with any protein in my evening meal as well as liver output so I guess that needs to be factored in.
Taken my normal 16 units of daytime basal so will be interesting to see how I get on this afternoon but the mid afternoon meal seems to fit in well with the peak of my Levemir, so I can manage with minimal bolus... only used 2 units of Fiasp yesterday which is a record for me.

@Baz. Very well done with your House Special. Seems like you are doing rather well in general with your readings of late.

@ColinUK Good to hear that you are well enough to get out and about for what sounds like a lovely walk.

@Michael12421 Well done getting your name on the roll call for a mask even if you are last. Hopefully you will climb to the top of the list soon. I found a couple of quite good DIY ones that I bought to muck out the chicken, so one of those is now hanging from the rear view mirror in the car with some gloves for when I go shopping. My thoughts are that it is exposed to sun and dry heat in there for 2 weeks before I need it again so that should be enough time for any virus that might possibly (but unlikely to) get on it to die before reuse.
 
Hahaha @Flower - you so druggy, oops, I mean funny.😛 We’ve been doing our morning walk the wrong way round too. It’s like a different walk!

Glad to hear you slept better @Ditto.

6.0 this morning.

I hope you had a better night @Ditto.
Congratulations on your HS @Baz.

That pesky ‘unprecedented ‘ is in virtually every report on anything @Bloden and @MeeTooTeeTwo CV, oil prices, .... They should try to do a whole news report without using that word.

The wisteria is just starting to come out but I think it is complaining about the lack of rain a little.
It now holds the pergola up having been there for over 20 years so I am sure it will survive.

thanks @SB2015

Morning all on yet another glorious morning. Been up since 5.30, a terrible 7.4 today, and I went to bed on a very reasonable 6.6. Went out for a spot of birdwatching at 6 o’clock, primarily to try and get a snap of the sand martins which have just returned to the river bank. They’re fast little blighters! Got back just before 7, a 5.5, much better, but I had had 7 units of bolus and nothing to eat! Nothing exciting in store for me today, Mr Eggy stripping the front door. He’s getting desperate for a project now, so just had a ratch in his shed, saw what he had and made a job to fit it! Have a safe day. 🙂 Oh and congrats @Baz. on the HS.

Thanks @eggyg
 
Morning all,
@Baz. Congrats on HS yesterday!
Today 6.3 on waking, could have been last nights noodles but was 5.4 in eve so maybe slow release effect?

Logic does not prevail with BG...

Well good morning all, today's reading is 5.6 after finishing the day yesterday on 5.2 , hope everyone has a good day today and play safe today
 
4.9 this morning. 🙂

Yesterday we mentioned all those hackneyed words, phrases and acronyms that have been done to death during this present time. 😱
It used to be all Payment Protection Insurance now it's PPE.
Up and coming phrase to look out for "Donning and doffing" - the recommended way to put on and take off your PPE.

Stay safe and well (and if you have it, don and doff your PPE correctly).

Morning

Ordered my prescription online on Sunday at 2:19pm, got a text yesterday at 10:54am saying it was ready for collection, not bad at all, think Bruce is going for them tomorrow as his wasnt ready until after 4pm as he didnt put it in until late monday morning

Anyways 4.0 at 6am so 2 glucose chews and 5.5 at 6:50 before breakfast

Stay safe and have a nice day
Xx
 
Morning all, 7.0 here, I blame OH, I woke up suddenly out of a deep sleep at 4am when he hit the coffee mugs on his bedside table with a flailing arm. (oops, my secret is out, I can’t get out of bed without a cup of tea first thing, and we have a kettle and mugs permanently in the bedroom)

I love donning and doffing, good old fashioned words. I’m going to use this everyday from now on!
 
Morning all, a very respectable 6.2. Had a wee lie in as didn’t get to bed until after 1am! Mr Eggy and I had a night out....in the garden, under the stars! None of which were shooting. TBF, I did fall asleep on the lounger, I was all cosy wrapped up in my duvet. Apparently whilst I was snoring my head off ( that’s not true I’m certain) there were a couple, then it got cloudy so I was nudged awake and we went to bed. It’s yet another glorious morning and after I’ve doffed my PJs and donned my day time uniform, leggings and a tee shirt, I’m going to feed my birds and then sit and watch them. Have a safe day.🙂
