Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A very pleasant 5.8 for me. A better morning today, supposed to be dry and warm. Got caught in the rain walking home from town yesterday, shouldn’t today hopefully, I have another appointment today, GP this time, just woman’s stuff! Oh and another one for glasses adjustment as optical assistant had called in sick yesterday so fingers crossed for today. I’m desperate, as they’re varifocals they need to be in the right position and they clearly aren’t at the moment. Have a good day. 🙂
 
Morning all, another HS! Don’t think Ive ever had one two days running before, was also 5.2 when I woke around 4.30am for a wee. Libre must be stuck! (except that last nights double figures after I'd been absent mindedly picking at the fruit bowl suggests otherwise)

Morning

7.4 for me this morning, seems that extra quarter of digestive was just a little too much! But was safer after an odd day yesterday, although I'd reduced my lunch dose by half a unit because I was sitting at 5.4 I was down to 4.7 at 3:30pm so took on a glucose chew bringing me to 5.8 an hour later at tea time, ah well, who knows, certainly not me!

Have a nice day folks
xx

Impressive, well done @Robin x
 
5.6 this morning. I was expecting lower as this is on the tail end of a 34hr fast and last night it was 5.3 before bed. Still perfectly fine though.
 
6.4 again for me. 🙂
A beautiful sunny day is forecast and so far that's correct.

Stay safe and well.

Well Morrison's order is out for delivery, confirmed by text and email, 1 item substituted so can't complain at that from 18 items, only a bottle of diluting but was quite looking forward to trying it, never mind, maybe sometime xx
 
Good morning 6.0 on a dull rainy day,:( I`m on a three day fast fluids only
got to keep an eye on my BGL`s they steadily rise during the day liver must
be dumping insulin out through lack of food.🙂

Another HS @Robin hat trick tomorrow, congratulations.🙂

Have a good day folks, take care stay safe🙂 its still out there.😡
 
Good morning everyone🙂

I woke up on 6.2 after a nice straight line overnight, so can’t complain. Been up for a couple of hours, and I’m now on the dizzy heights of 6.7.🙄:D

I note that today is 75th anniversary of the biggest war crime ever committed, the dropping of a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima. 80,000 civilians slaughtered- that’s considerably more than civilian deaths in the UK for the whole of the war. And that 80,000 doesn’t include those who died later from radiation induced illnesses. The US had been relentlessly carpet bombing of industrial and military targets, effectively crippling the Japanese war effort. So they decided to try out their new toy on Hiroshima, previously not a target for bombing, so the US were just experimenting to see what their new bomb would do. Some experiment. Take a pause today to think about those folks wandering off to work before being fried.

On a lighter note, on Tuesday I had a telephone consultation with the gastro consultant. Bit of a surprise, but I got notified of the appointment the day after. The letter had been posted 2nd class on the Monday.😡

Anyway, this was to discuss the CT scan the week before. Trouble was, she hadn’t got the report. Still, I can at least look forward to a colonoscopy to check for any new growth in the colon. Though Picolax combined with my mobility problems will be fun.:D I’ll have to blag a bedside commode from OT, we’ve only got one loo in the apartment. It’s a good day to do a basal check, prepping for a colonoscopy, so there’s always a silver lining.🙂

Have a good day folks. I will, watching the snooker on the iPad, and the cricket on the TV in the man cave. Who said men can’t multitask?
 
A war crime? I don't think so. Members of my family who were POW's were murdered by the Japanese because they considered surrendering was 'dishonourable ' and Japan had not signed the Generva Convention regarding the treatment of POW's so it was OK in their eyes to kill them whenever the fancy took them. Had the Japanese elite realized that their war was lost then there would have been no reason to use nuclear bombs on either Hiroshima or Nagasaki but they didn't. How many more thousands of Allied lives were saved by the bombings had a conventional attack on the main islands been the only way to bring an end to the war?
You are of course entitled, and I respect that, to believe it was a crime, I certainly do not.
 
Japan was considering surrendering before Hiroshima after Russia declared war against Japan. They had no means of fighting on two fronts, so they knew the game was up. Conventional bombing had already brought Japan to its knees - nuclear weapons weren’t needed.
 
I do think they just wanted to drop that bomb, boys and toys, but the Japanese were horrendous and those things will not be forgotten, just the chopping off of hands for the sake of it and taking pot shots at pow's balancing on a pole trying to use the loo and that horrendous film with Colin Firth, good grief never let me watch that again by mistake. I can't get it into my head that they are the same people as the lovely Mr 'Myagi' who does the moss at the Chelsea Flower Show, how can they be the same race!? RIP all the people gone on both sides.

Over 9 for me, still struggling because I'm pathetic.
 
With you, they carried out appalling experiments on prisoners too, tested bioweapons on them, easily rivalled the Nazis for sheer cruelty.
 
Very late today as I ran out of time this morning.
Woke at 4.2 having had a hypo in the night. If only D knew how to be consistent.
A bit of a yo-yo morning as a consequence.

Did you get into the sea @SueEK ?
Were the glasses fixed @eggyg ?
Two days running @Robni. I wait with bated breath to see your post tomorrow.

A pleasant morning of Pilates, and a Zoom choir. Back to weaving as it is wet outside today.
A good excuse.

I hope you have all had a good day.

They did not test bioweapons on prisoners. They used bioweapons in the war against China, using fleas infected with plague, and cholera. No such weapons were used against allied troops or prisoners of war. I know this because I worked in War Pensions, for a time specifically dealing with Far East Prisoner of War files. They worked allied prisoners who were frequently beaten,frequently ill and poorly fed.Many died but were never experimented on. Your post is pure invention, a complete fabrication.

They barely matched the Nazis for cruelty, who, in addition to gassing 6 million Jew, homosexuals and Romany folk , did carry out medical experiments on prisoners, and enslaved POWs, particularly Poles in conditions where many died.
 
I fail to see why it becomes irrelevant because their victims were Chinese. People are people, they experimented appallingly on people, including bio weapons. Where those people came from is irrelevant, it happened.
