Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all,
Some of us very jolly today, others not so...
Well a 6.1 this morning having spent yesterday in the fives.
Managed an Aldi trip which was productive and managed to fill a small trolley!

Today we are off to encourage a friend in her garden and take her some much needed self raising flour! I know, such a rare item apparently.
Anyway we are going to have a SD picnic with all kinds of goodies and hopefully cheer her up as she has been 11 weeks without a complete kitchen due to lockdown... Should be finished next week.

Blessings Snowwy
 
08:32 BS 7.6 That’s what I get for lying in! 🙄 I felt extra tired & needed more sleep!

I felt up to playing all 18 holes at once in the golf, again virtual for those in doubt, in the opening round: VERY consistent this tourney with -12 for each set of 9: 3 done now; -12 for 9 holes in Q1 & -24 for my opening round of 18 holes! Even got a HIO on a par 3 on the back 9 last night: had intended to play front 9 & stopped; ate a light supper & decided to finish it a day early by playing the back 9 as well!🙄:D😛😎😉 So, it was after 03:00 before I went to bed! But, was in 7th when I finished & even dropping, can only drop as people finish over today, I think I’ll make it through: famous last words; I hope not?🙄😳o_O I’ll finish posting, have breakfast before I record my tourney HIO, post it onto my youtube channel & post it on here for you lovely, indulging, kind, supporting folks to have a look at later!😉:D😛😎🙄😉

A later than usual from me, Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉

PS:- @ColinUK it dosen’t really matter about promotion in the early stages of the game: in fact the higher you go, the harder it gets in tournaments; it may take you some time to even qualify but, I highly recommend playing them as it well worth the loss in coins & it IS a big loss, at first! You learn SO much by playing tournaments: learning to play under pressure, seeing what the best players do & how they play; if you join a clan you’ll get extra chests bonuses anyway & you’ll get put in with higher division opponents during tournaments as you go up: always the highest you’ve achieved even if you drop back down later: learnt that the hard way; best to only go up if your equipment is ready After all the clubs have been upgraded another level or two to lessen the chances of your better opponents, in higher division, will beat your pants off with better clubs than you! It’s a case of “Patience, Grasshopper”, as said in the old tv show “Kung Fu”! 🙄

PPS:- Didn’t that first HIO feel GREAT! 😉😛😎:D😉

We have lettuce coming out of our ears! Why do we grow so much? Strawberries are going red now, enough for a small portion. @Robin our broad beans were the same after the rain started last Wednesday. Shooting up like mad!

We have a small couple of patches to grow stuff, and we are getting a small bowl of strawberries every other day at present. The broad beans and runners are quite a bit behind, but looking forward to them being ready, although I suspect we will need some new recipes once they get going.
 
Good morning 6.2 rained overnight and very grey but dry.🙄 Got a confession folks😳 my downstairs neighbour made a sponge topped with apricots,😱 she asked if I wanted some? I said I better not, then she took the foil off of it and in the words of ABBA Give me, Give me, Give me and a small bowl of proper Debum (Devon) cream.o_O:D Still got some left bolused because I had it with dinner 15u of NR still only 6.0 2hrs later.:D

Went hypo in the night woke up this morning with JB`s stuck to the hairs on chest which consequently stuck to the duvet cover, pigs ear trying to get out of bed for a wee.😡:D

Safe journey @SueEK and good luck. {{{HUGS}}}

Good advert for Curry`s @Kaylz give `em what for. 😉

Take care folks hope your weather isn`t too bad where you are but stay safe.🙂
 
Well it was a 3.8 for me today. Put my basal back up to 8 units last night and it was obviously a little too much. Just got my Novopen Echo for my Levemir on Wed however I still have at least a week's worth of Levemir in the disposable pen before I start using it. I am hoping that half unit option is going to come in useful .... I am currently alternating between 7 and 8 units at night and either being too high or too low.
I didn't treat my minor hypo this morning as DP was kicking in and seemed pointless eating carbs only to inject more insulin, so I just jabbed 2 units for DP (bearing in mind NR takes over an hour to get going in the morning for me) and got on with cooking my mushroom, onion, spinach and mozzarella 2 egg omelette with salad and cheese coleslaw and my cup of coffee with cream.... I like to live well! Thought I had managed my levels really well as it rose steadily up to 6 throughout the morning but just checked now and I am at a disappointing 9.7! :( I assume that is the protein from the eggs and cheese kicking in.
Had an email to say my Libre starter kit will be delivered this afternoon.... excited and nervous. Might take me a day or two to get fully genned up on what I need to do and then psych myself up to apply it. Just worried in case I bungle it when they are so expensive, but I am guessing that is a normal concern.
Got a letter from the hospital yesterday with a blood sample envelope and labels saying that my circumstances have been reviewed and I will be getting a telephone appointment with my consultant in approx. 5 months time (so November ish). I was due to have an appointment this month which was cancelled but don't really feel I would have a lot to benefit from an appointment right now anyway. I have to have the blood test done at my GP surgery 2 weeks before the appointment and I will receive notification of the appointment date and time in due course. I wonder if this means I will be self funding my Libre until then or if that will be dealt with separately since the consultant has already sanctioned it. Anyway, one step at a time and first is receipt of it this afternoon. Will be out in the garden watching out for the delivery..... fingers crossed I am more successful than Kaylz with her washing machine!
 
Morning all.
5.7 for me today.

Stay safe and well.

Couldn't sleep, so thought I'd get in early with my 4.1, however @Michael12421 beat me to it! Every now and again I have a night where I don't sleep, very annoying. We got three chickens yesterday and I think I must have been worried about how they are getting on - will check soon. View attachment 14467

I’d love chickens, but I’d likely be anxious too, plus my garden is too small really. All this lockdown business has made me hanker for the “good life” but I fear I’d be more Margo than I’d like to admit. I’d love those 70s dresses though so not all bad
 
Morning all,
Snap! @MeeTooTeeTwo 5.7 also!
@stephknits great looking chicken, came complete with 'lockdown' haircut I see, very in vogue!

Have a blessed Saturday everyone,
Snowwy
 
Morning All, today's reading for me was 6.6 making my weekly average 6.2
 
Sometimes diabetes throws up odd BG readings for absolutely no reason whatsoever... didn’t break any diet rules yesterday and this morning my meter reported a whopping (for me) 7.1

Only the plus side I’ve finally slipped under 15st - the scales showed 14st 13lbs! Hopefully the next stone will be easier still 🙂
 
Morning

I’m glad I’m on a contract sim and have minutes in my package that’s for sure, yesterday it was the DWP, had my annual verification form last month which I posted back 2 weeks ago, yesterday I received another along with a letter saying they had written to me and I hadn’t bothered to respond! Called them up as this has happened before but the women said they had in fact received it yesterday and just to throw the one I got yesterday away

Realised late on yesterday I’d forgotten to take my BP tablet on Thursday night so best get back on track with them!

Bruce going to Lidl today, not much I’m needing, prawns, mozzarella and a loaf of bread! Then his mum is picking stuff up from Tesco on Sunday for me, wonder if everything I need will be obtained this weekend

Anyway enough rambling (sorry cant help it as rather lonely) its a 5.3 today

Stay safe and have a nice day
xx
 
Morning good peeps. :D 3.4 here on the Libre. Spent yesterday chasing my tail BG-wise, so looking fwd to my basal reduction kicking in.🙂

Those are great figures @Baz. and @ColinUK!😛

Sunshine! A gentle attack on what’s left of the invasive bamboo this morning - its roots have rearranged next door’s patio so got to get it all out. 🙂

Morning!!! OMG! I am so excited, no, I haven’t won the Euro Millions, it’s much more exciting than that, drum roll please.......5.2! :DI attach photo evidence, mostly for me TBF! It must be down to my homegrown new potatoes and infamous crustless Quiche Elaine. Whatever the reason I’m chuffed to bits, only the second one since I started posting on this thread. Little things and all that......
Loving the fluffy chicken @stephknits. Well done @ColinUK it’s a nice feeling getting into the next stone range. Have a super Saturday everyone, it’s absolutely pelting down here. :(

08:11 BS 8.7! 😱 Pooh! Couldn’t tell you why?🙄 Went to bed on 6.1, bunged in my usual Levemir 24 units at midnight, didn’t test though & went right back to sleep!:confused: That one IS confused!

But, on a brighter note, if a bit eeky, I made it to the golf final weekend round: talk about famous last words; just about squeezes through in 43rd. as the cutline fell to -24, my score, & one person with that score actually didn’t make it being pushed out to 52nd!😱 & Wiping brow in relief emoji! It seems that -24 was a VERY popular score, the scores this tourney are VERY low, there were a lot of ties as well as I’m in a final weekend round of 111 in 97th: pretty near the bottom & not far I can drop; no hurry to start then & will eat breakfast first!o_O🙄

I surprised myself yesterday after watching the new episode of “How’s Your Head Hun”, Michelle films it (her husband) on Tuesday but, it’s not on BBC iPlayer until Friday, I all of a sudden decided to give Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK a go by watching at least 1 episode: comedy not really being my thing; drag being one of the worse as it’s so mean & camp! But, to my UTTER surprise I wasn’t COMPLETELY turned off by it & it even got me a bit interested so, I thought I’ll watch one more: I ended up caught up in the competition, watched 6 episodes with the drag queens knocked down from 10 to 4; have to finish it now & see who wins!😱 THAT means extremely surprised on my part! I STILL think drag ISN’T my“cup of tea”, being really mean, camp & everything I thought, some of it going completely over my head, my own judgement often off kilter with the judges but, it turned out to be QUITE interesting: opened my eyes a bit to the real people behind the dressing up that have been bullied, made to feel marginalised from an early age & they’re actually brave to do what they do! Soohh! I’m actually truly surprised by something & learnt to be that little bit more understanding & tolerant of what I never thought I would!😱🙄🙂

Oops!😳 Didn’t know I was going to say all that!🙄

A very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
