Group 7-day waking average?

6.3 for me this morning. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

Morning

Notifications from bank, far more came out on Friday than what went in 😳 so nothing at all left lol, ah well, things needed paying and spec wipes needed ordering 🙄

5.7 for me this morning and there's a nip in the air, can't shut my bedroom window properly though as just gets far too stuffy (like the living room most days 🙄) to be honest I just want to crawl back to bed and stay there!

Have a nice day folks
xx
 
Morning all, 4.8 here. Monday already! That means the supermarket run before breakfast while it’s quiet. (well, after a protein bar on the hoof. Nothing counts as proper breakfast unless it is accompanied by a large steaming mug of tea.)
 
A shocking 7.1 for me but I’m almost certain I never had my Levemir last night. It was too late to check on my thingy at the end of my pen as I’d already dialled up this morning’s dose. What a numpty, can’t remember the last time I did that. I also didn’t put away the leftovers from last night’s tea. Obviously my brain wasn’t working last night. I read solid for over 3 hours whilst Mr Eggy was watching Braveheart.....again! The story was whirring around my mind when I went to bed, will get it finished before breakfast, then I can get on with my exciting day! 😛
@Snowwy very envious of your trip to Venice today, on my bucket list. Enjoy. Everyone else have a fab day even if, like me, you won’t be anywhere near a gondola!🙂
A funny story about a gondola... we were actually in one once when my wifes mobile rang ( she rarely gets calls), it was our son standing on our front doorstep back home wanting to borrow a saw but had forgotten his keys! She explained to him we were on a gondola in Venice to which he replied "you're on a what in a where?" So that's what we called gondolas now! Blessings 😎
 
A first for me. 100% in target over 24 hours in Libre!!

We had gone for a walk in the hills, eaten cake before we went, meal including cottage pie, strawberries and two chocolates. A recipe for hypos and hypers!!
Prebolusing, soaking up glucose whilst walking.
For once it all worked.
 
Good Morning everyone
8.3 for me this morning. Umm birthday things seem to hang around lol.
First proper weekly shop for me at Aldi, Son actually letting me loose :D
 
Morning all, 8.2 for me today.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂

I woke up at seven on 5.6, but rewaking at 9.00 that became 4.7, but a nice straight drift down. One more unit to be taken off evening Levemir tonight. Good excuse for a dark chocolate digestive with the morning caffeine fix, mind..🙂

I'm off for a CT scan with contrast on Wednesday, mainly just to see what my degenerate pancreas is doing currently. Not a lot, I hope. Chronic pancreatitis increases your chance of getting pancreatic cancer by a couple of percentage points, but the absolute risk is still small. The first thing that slightly bothers me is that I'm only 5 days into the current LIbre sensor. Abbott says remove it, because it's never been assessed with X-Rays, so they can't guarantee it will still work. It's not an MRI, which could cause the sensor to set on fire, so I'm going to leave it on than let Abbott know if it starts telling porkies.As X-Rays are only a couple of points up from UV light, my guess is that the sensor will be unaffected. I'll let you know what happens.

It'll be interesting if I get the same effect from the contrast medium that I had the last time. It gave me a hot bum, specifically perianal. Very odd, I almost burst out laughing. The big problem will be keeping my legs still and straight. I'll have to give myself a fix of CBD oil and hope. Otherwise might have to be strapped down, which would very uncomfortable. I'd confess to anything:D

Anyway, have a good day gang, I've got to watch the end of this fascinating Test Match from sunny Manchester. I know some of you will think 'fascinating Test Match' is an oxymoron, but if you do, you've got no soul:D
 
Good day 4.1 on BBQ weather.🙂

Didn`t make it onto the main forum yesterday 4.9 in the morning and so the story begins.:D
Spent all evening talking with a dear friend of mine online and finished our conversation
went to the loo before bedtime sit down job.😱 Done the biz and boxers around my ankles
got the right side up to knees blue left foot wasn`t having any of it, so I thought I know I'll,
stand up and do it, see Grammar school boy thinks on his feet.o_O🙂

Never did get them up until too late, went hopping across the bathroom on right leg with blue lefty
firmly stuck in boxer shorts. Too late couldn`t stop, head tucked in very comfortably to the stud wall,:D
anyone know a good plasterer? true story.🙂 Again.

Take care folks off to a barbie no skin left on my head have to use some of the chickens,:D stay safe folks.🙂
 
Morning all,
Well two days in a row and 5.6 again!
Looks beautiful out there and shaping up for an early morning run in an hour.
Today on our 'virtual cruise' week two we are docked in ... Venice!
Oh how I love this place with THE best sailaway views in the world! Been a few few times but never disappoints there is so much to see and do. A gondola ride... of course, marvelling at the beautiful buildings, absolutely and then finding a back street cafe for a bite to eat, wonderful! What about a boat trip to the island of Murano to the famous glass factory or St Mark's Basilica, the Doge's Palace or watching them make Carnival masks? Temp today at midday will be a lovely 27 degrees so whatever you decide, a day will not be long enough!

Amazing, only been once. Would love to go back

You watch Strictly Mike and I’ll watch the cricket! 😉
 
Morning...ooopps no sorry AFTERNOON everyone (where's the morning gone?). Woke to an 8.9, cleaned windows in and out, up and down, still only 6.7. Have a good day everyone x

Not an oxymoron in this house. I’m off out into the sunshine to cut the grass with TMS plugged firmly into my ears. There are certainly worse ways to spend an afternoon 🙂
 
And a 5.7 today
 
Morning all,
Well after the 'virtual' joys of Venice yesterday a 6.1 this morning!
Must have been all that 'virtual pasta' 😎
Today we have sailed back down the Adriatic on our virtual cruise (which is rapidly coming to and end) and we are in the town of Split in Croatia.
Never been here but my research tells me that it will be 31 degrees at midday which is plenty warm enough!
From what I understand it seems like a place that time forgot...
I has been used over the years for many Hollywood film sets but the places are real and folk actually live there!
There are lots of beautiful buildings to see, a wonderful town square which typifies the area and even a national park.
Sounds like an exploring day for me!
Seeing my sister later who should have been on the 'real' cruise with us!
Ho hum... we are going to swap virtual photos later.

Blessings Snowwy
