Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone, 6.5 today, have been better with my food choices. Didn’t do the toy room yesterday, decided to repaint the utility room instead, needs another coat today. Granddaughter’s 6th birthday today so are going to take her presents up, stand on the patio and watch her open them in their conservatory, looking forward to that even if we can’t give her a birthday kiss and cuddle. Doggy is a bit better today, still limping but is actually putting her paw down and taking weight through it, dogs are so resilient aren’t they. Thankfully we have a large bottle of metacam pain killer here as the vet wanted £43 for a telephone consultation 😳. So today looks like it will be busy and if I have time our neighbours have arranged street dancing at 11am, hmm not sure about that.
Hope your day is sunny and stay safe xx
 
Oh dear it looks like I spoke too soon also. Just read in the newspaper that whilst I can now go out my dogs cannot. What on earth have dogs to do with the spread of the virus? Need to get information from the local police but they don't work weekends. Crazy.
 
5.7 this morning - not sure is is deserved, as I'm still on a bit of a carb binge, but lots of exercise might be balancing it out a bit.
Looks like a sunny day again today, do may be a bit more gardening and replace the stuff that the slugs devastated.

Hope today brings some cheer!
Oh, nearly forgot 6.2 this morning which is interesting as I went to bed on a 5.2!

08:12 BS 7.2. Umm! Not as bad as thought it COULD be but, also a tad disappointed it’s not any lower! So, so emoji! Is it this one? :confused:

Yesterday REALLY didn’t go according to plan at all: sometimes plans just go out the window! My tesco shop arrived about 15:10 & I had sat down to 2 chicken & prawn sandwiches I’d made with a glass of coke. I HAVE been drinking it for some time now since the sugar tax, making it difficult to avoid artificial sweeteners in a lot of drinks, for a bit of a change from fruit juice: even juice can be difficult to get without sweeteners in it as the tendency is that manufacturers dilute the concentrated juice more & add in the sweeteners; sneakily lowering the sugar to avoid the tax! I just always add an extra 2 units to the dose when I drink it with a meal. I DID tell my hospital team dietician about that some time ago & she said not ideal but, ok as long as you factor that in so, it dosen’t adversely affect BS. So, I bunged in 22 units of Novorapid, ate & then more less fell asleep afterwards. In my sleep, which was quite deep, I felt my heart racing & the blood pounding in my ears & did think that I could be hypo but, didn’t wake & slept on for hours semi aware of my racing heart! I eventually woke up, & upon checking my Timesulin cap, just over 6 hours after insulin went in. VERY groggily tested 21:01 BS 6.8. I felt ROUGH with my heart still racing & the blood pounding in my ears! It took another hour or so before that all calmed down back to normal. Which was when I realised I’d forgotten to inject the reduced dose & should have been 18 units instead of the 22! Now I’ve had problems in the past before about getting tired & dosing off after eating but, I’ve never slept through what I’m, somewhere deep in my sub conscious, aware of a hypo! I’m not completely certain it was one but, it felt like one & also felt like an after hypo hangover for the next few hours until midnight Levemir BS 10.8. So, I bunged in the same dose of 20 units & went back to bed. I suspected BS would be higher as it usually is after a hypo.

I’ll have breakfast now & do the batch cooking later: a day later than planned as I slept a LOT yesterday I now realise!😱

It’s another greyish day today & I wish you all sunshine on the inside regardless of if it’s there or not on the outside!😉😎
 
Morning all it’s another 4.0. Time to charge up the battery in my meter just in case it’s got stuck!

Just about dry after a getting caught in a mad hailstorm yesterday, everywhere was white over including me and it was like walking on ice marbles- quite a challenge on crutches! I swore out loud at all the cars zooming past throwing puddles of freezing water over my cast. Might give walking a miss today. Calm thoughts🙂

Hope you’re all doing ok today.

Didn’t want to post too much this morning as I am always anxious on scan day but I had my final growth scan today. 36+4 weeks pregnant and my baby girl is looking great. Estimated weight is around 7lb 2oz so a good healthy weight but not too giant thank goodness. She’s head down at last and induction is booked for 12th May. Eeeek.

Today’s photoshoot:

Thanks for the update @merrymunky
Very exciting.
 
Snap @Robin. 4.3 and a nice line over night.

Yesterday discovered that more of my summer clothes have been subject to wardrobe shrinkage!
Glad Diabetes has no memory, but perhaps I need to stay away from the treats a bit more.
My misdemeanours have been rather more frequent than yours @rebrascora .
Your halo just got a bit tarnished for one day. Today is another day.
 
I am very late, didn’t get up until 10! Been awake on and off since 4 though. I was beyond tired. Anyhoo, a very nice 5.9. I was a naughty girl and went to bed on 5.6 as I really didn’t want to eat anything. Mr Eggy wasn’t happy but I overruled him and I’m still here. Don’t forget folks, it’s not big and it’s not clever to go to bed too low. 😉
 
Hi All.

@Lanny good to see you posting again
@Michael12421 pleased you’re allowed to venture out a little bit more.

Had a rough week. High numbers for me (up in 12/13’s) no idea why. Don’t feel as if I’m coming down with something. We wondered if it was new box of insulin as the high numbers started shortly after starting new pen in new box so got another box yesterday and a little better. So 7.8 when I woke and 8.7 10 min later as I’ve got up.

Pleased it’s the weekend. Despite some of the general public’s belief of teachers are sitting round doing nothing and hey lets have everyone in school in August setting school work and helping the children and supporting them with the troubles they still have in their lives and helping / supporting their parents dealing with uncooperative teenagers via computer and phone is harder than people could ever know )unless you’re a fellow teacher 🙂) ..... but it is rewarding. It’d be nicer to actually see them though.

Have a good day. I have a Patricia Cornwell book to read.
 
Reporting a 5.0 this morning. Had a nice lie in after a fairly decent sleep for once!
 
No halo wearing for me today I am afraid.
Woke up feeling rough and assumed I must be hypo as I increased my basal last night, which I felt was a bit risky as I had reined in my eating by yesterday afternoon. Very disappointing 7.7 when I got up and tested. Jabbed myself 2.5 units of Fiasp to cover DP and half a unit correction and went back to bed. Woke up a couple of hours later still feeling rough but down to a nice 4.8. Wonder if I am coming down with something. Anyway, I've had a boiled egg and mayonnaise for breakfast and a bowl of ham broth for lunch so fingers crossed I am back on the straight and narrow with my food.

@Michael12421 So pleased you can get out for some fresh air and a leg swing, but gutted for your friends who have to stay in. I hope that is misreporting and they can go out too. Fingers crossed you are able to get some clarification. Make sure to have hypo treatment with you because the exercise after being cooped up might have a surprising effect.

@Kaylz I know it isn't the same but we are here for you if you want to chat.
 
Actually I did take the dogs out - they were ecstatic. My only real friend - Pablo - is very persuasive and messaged to say he would meet me with his dog at the top of the street and we would go into the campo - so we did. Pablo said that if we were stopped by the police we would plead ignorance and were only doing what the newspapers said we could. In fact only one lady complained to us and Pablo brought his persuasive powers to bear. Have not been arrested yet! The local police don't work on weekends but the Guardia Civil and the Policia Nacional are always around.

Finally been told by Holland & Barrett that they've dispatched my order (nearly 4 weeks wait). 😱

Stay safe and well.

5.7 for me, savers order finally arrived yesterday and also Bruce's mum popped some hand Cream through the door too

Must remember I need to phone the health centre tomorrow, contraceptive injection is due on the 12th, mum however managed to get the self administering one so fingers crossed I have the same luck as I'm too petrified to go out

Stay safe
