Group 7-day waking average?

Bonjour. 5.5 for me.
 
I’m up with the early birds today. 6.4. It’s dark! Couldn’t sleep so cut my losses and got up. Will read my book instead. Forecast really good today, sunshine all day although not particularly hot, 16 degrees but I’m fine with that. This time last year I was in Giverny staying in a gîte just 10 minutes walk from Monet’s Gardens! Ahh! Happy days. Have a great day. 🙂
 
Morning

4.3 waking so couple of glucose chews produed a 4.8 before breakfast

Have a nice day folks
xx
 
Morning all,
A 6.2 this morning for me.
Well a surprise phone call yesterday from NHS Brighton rebooking my Diabetes eye check!
Glad I am still in the system.
Not only that, the appointment is not half way across the county, no, its 10 mins walk from my house! Result 🙂
Blessings Snowwy

It's on the way up 5 mins later 4.6.

Morning all. A hugely disappointing morning reading of 9.7 and libre showing its been 15 all night despite a low carb tea, no snacks or alcohol and a 7 before bed. It always seems to go up between midnight and 1am and stay high until morning. Being busy at work levels are good all day so it doesn't seem to be the bolus. If i miss meals levels hold good so just can't understand this, i feel exhausted and emotional every morning atm snd my time in target is getting less. Feelinh very low with D atm.
Looking outside, looks to be a bright sunny day albeit cooler. Have a good day folks x
 
@freesia don't worry/stress about it as we know that does nothing for the old levels either, we all have times where things just don't make sense at all (me lately) and things just click back into place, it could just be the change in routine etc, I hope you feel better soon and I'm always here if you need a chat xx
 
Morning all 6.9 for me today. Wasn’t going to go down the van today but came home from work yesterday to find the dog at the top of the stairs shaking, panting and dribbling in a right old state. The neighbours are having building work done and she is usually okish when we are with her but Wednesday morning is the only time she is on her own and what a mess she was in - so I will take her down the van where it is much quieter. Having Misty is harder than having a baby.
@HenryBennett loving your new avatar, looking good 😉
@Snowwy are you also in Brighton?
@freesia we all go through low periods, just hang on in there, D is certainly a pain in the butt but we are with you all the way x
Have a lovely day, it should be nice all round x
 
Good Morning everyone
8.2 I seem to be stuck in the 8's at the moment. Will try reducing carbs a little more (am at about 100g a day at the moment, will try 80g)
Best Wishes

Ah ok but not too far away, I’m in Portslade just outside Brighton xx
 
Good morning all🙂

I woke up on 4.8, which is fine by me. Slice of toast and lots of caffeine (coffee flavour) and that's me set up for the day.😎

I did something last evening which I haven't done for years. (No, not that. ) I made a cheese souffle, which is the ultimate low carb food - and it rose magnificently. Extra strong cheddar, and just the right amount of mustard powder. The trick for that rise is in the whipping of the egg whites; souffles don't rise usually because of over-whipping. Just do it till soft peaks start to develop. Any more, and you have stiff peaks, it won't rise. Anyway, it was delicious, all part of my vague effort to lose a bit of weight. Wasn't just me who made it, Mr Kenwood helped with the egg whipping. Life's too short to whip eggs yourself..🙄

Had a treat yesterday - the new Cormoran Strike book arrived on my Kindle with a thump. 800 pages (that's kindle pages; it's probably only 450 in the analogue world.) A new Kindle should arrive tomorrow. My current one has been hammered in lockdown, and its battery is beginning to run out of juice much sooner than expected. That''s planned obsolescence, You can't change the battery, so you can only expect 3 years or so of life. The new one should do me till I leave the planet.:D

Have a good day, gang. Get out in the sunshine and don't watch the news, you'll only make yourself miserable if you do. Or angry. If you aren't angry, you're not paying attention.

Snap! I preordered the day before release, was checking to see when it was out, & got it pretty much bang on midnight of the release date & I’ve just started it & it’s seems a very interesting cold case they’re working on! 😎:D😛😉
