Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, well it's a 6.1 for me today
 
Morning all. A very surprising 6.3 as I went to bed on a inexplicable 11.2! ( Stress maybe?) I held my nerve and didn’t have a correction. So what’s the craic for today then? I will mostly be giving myself a shake. Don’t forget Be A Lert! 😉
 
Morning

Bruce dropped my jewellers scales off yesterday so when I can eventually afford stuff hand cream and bottles will be getting bought and I can finally get back to mixing some e-liquid (hopefully)

6.7 for me this morning and realised last night I was shorter on digestive biscuits than I thought so Bruce is going to pop up with a couple of packets this afternoon for me as his mum gets them when she's at Tesco for me

Anyways plans for today? Well I've to do the usual everyday things but also remember to do my contraceptive injection and take note of when it will next be due (13 weeks time)

Stay safe my lovelies
xx
 
5.7 this morning! And I’m off for a lovely long walk.
Chat later all x

Good morning 🙂 The same happened to me @eggyg - I was 11.4 before bed and resisted a correction as I have been getting a big overnight drop lately (the Libre is telling me I am having brief hypos, although I don't believe that since I don't have any basal - probably I'm dropping to about 3.5, but I can only set my Libre to a minimum 3.9). Anyway, woke this morning to a 4.5, with a big cliff dive shortly after laying my head on the pillow 🙄

Got an ASDA delivery last night, so I'm now well stocked up on milk...and Burgen bread! 🙂 First time I've been able to get any since the 18th of March 😱 🙂

Stay safe everyone 🙂

Morning all,
Well an unexpected (but hoped for) 5.2 Happy Sausage for me this morning!
We have an Iceland delivery today... exciting!
Noticed some construction workers quick off the mark yesterday at a previously abandoned site, I am sure they are glad to be back. Hope and pray my son-in-law get something soon!

Have a blessed day,
Snowwy (with frost outside)

Morning happy campers

5.9 this morning

I cannot believe the mixed muddled messages from BoJo. Although I am not a fan of Sturgeon's politics, she has has at least, been clear on what we have to do. Good luck everyone, be safe
 
Morning all. Hope everyone is well.
5.9 today.
Have a good day.
 
Good morning 5.3 with a naughty hypo an hour later (2.2), I`ll have to reduce my Basal had 3 hypos yesterday.😡 Sadly we lost 2 residents over the weekend husband and wife, they were taken into a care home a fortnight ago we haven`t been told the reason of their death but they were in their 90`s.:( On a lighter note the beach opens tomorrow I don`t personally agree with it as the hoards will be all over the place.😡

Congratulations on HS @Snowwy.🙂

Off to Lidl`s soon before the rabble arrives, take care folks stay safe.🙂
 
Well, I had a really bad day yesterday. Struggled desperately with anxiety and didn't eat anything proper until last night when I had some turkey curry that I had made which contained lots of veggies but no rice or anything carby with it. Was 6.1 before eating so gave myself 3 units to cover protein. Still hungry afterwards so had some leftover salmon wellington (25g carbs for pastry) with more veggies so had another 2.5 units. 4.6 at bedtime so ate a 10g carbs biscuit. Woke up at 3am feeling unwell and I was 13.4. Gave myself 3 units of Fiasp but couldn't get back to sleep try as I might. Got up after an hour and pottered on in the kitchen. Was still 10.0 at 6.30am so I shot myself another 2 units. Then I baked some fruit scones for my partner and when they came out of the oven at 7.50am I decided to stuff the low carb diet, shot myself another 4 units and lashed one with butter and guzzled it. I had barely waited 10 mins between injection and eating when I normally need to wait 45mins on a morning so fully expected my reading to soar and then drop but an hour later I was 5.4. Set out for my walk and just dropped to 3.5 as I was approaching home. A couple of dried apricots sorted that and I have levelled out after a bit of gardening in the mid 4s.
I guess my reading for today will have to be that big fat embarrassing 10 but after a possible 13.4 it doesn't seem quite so bad. Sometimes this whole diabetes thing just doesn't make any sense, but at least I am back on an even keel for now..... and I really enjoyed that fruit scone for breakfast.

A 5.2 Holy Smokes for me this morning too!
What gets my goat lately @MeeTooTeeTwo is when people retrieve their recycling containers from the street, but leave any rubbish that’s spilled out for...well...someone else to pick up. They obviously have servants to clear up for them, but they’re furloughed cos of the pandemic. Grrr...😱😡
 
05:09 BS 7.3 🙂 Ah! The same as yesterday! Snap!:D

My breathing is almost back to normal this morning even though my nose is still a bit bunged!:confused: A half, so, so smile!

The birdies aren’t singing yet: I got up before them this morning!🙄

An early Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

PS:- definitely getting stir crazy now & may risk a venture out of the house for a wee gander down the lane later today since I’m breathing a bit easier?🙂🙄 &o_O I’m calling that,o_O, the “stir crazy” emoji!:D😉

PPS:- Just about to sign off when, hark, I hear the birdies are stirring & starting their little birdie chorus! :D😛😎😉
 
Good morning 🙂 6.7 for me today 🙂 Very chilly again! 😱 Two years ago at this time of year there was heatwave going on which lasted for weeks - remember that? 😱 It was just after I had moved here to Harrogate, and I began to assume that it was always like that here. I have been disabused of that notion on the following two years! 😱 🙂
 
In my best Victor Meldrew voice, "I don't believe it!!"
Another 5.2 :D

Be a lert if you can.
