Group 7-day waking average?

5.5 here today. Cardiac rehab centre today.
 
Morning all,
6.0 today.
A clear sky atm perhaps a little exercise soon.
DB eye check done yesterday, those drops sting a bit and thanks Mike @everydayupsanddowns for reminding me to take sunglasses, it was bright out there on the walk back even without being sunny. 😎

Blessings Snowwy
 
05:57 BS 6.1 🙂

I’ve been in target & pretty stable for a few days now &, with my tesco shopping later today, I’m going to be embarking on some new food experiments thanks to the very kind suggestions for carb free, or very low carbs, meals: voyage of discovery in which I’ll start with no boluses for baselines; lots of testing to determine if and/or how much/if any bolus is needed?🙄

Already tried my version, what I had at the time, of @Kaylz ‘s stuffed mozzarella chicken breast wrapped with parma ham last week with gruyere & it was delicious: only raised my BS a tiny bit over 4 hours with half bolus dose as I served it with sauté potatoes!:D Ordered lots of low carb veggies:- beansprouts, tender stem broccoli, broccoli rice & never tried before cauliflower rice; almost phased out & finished the carby veggies & only half a bag of sauté potatoes left! I’m boldly going where I’ve never gone before food wise: a la Star Trek; love Discovery as it continues to surprise me!🙄:D

Will have a cheese & mushroom omelette for breakfast & tesco delivery is the usual 13:00 to 14:00 with maybe the new chicken satay wrap for lunch: 2nd attempt to get that new wrap; sold out before my delivery the last time!🙄

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

I’ll be conducting food experiments & oh what fun awaits?🙄:D😉
 
Morning

Well Bruce's first day back went ok, we spoke last night about living together again, the way you get a flat is changing next month, you now bid on the house you want, we've decided as single people and couples will now be allowed to bid on 2 bedroom properties we will take that route rather than possibly have to move twice, will find out more when it launches on 2nd November

Here's a pic of the slippers, very cosy indeed and so comfortable! Feels great to have hard soled slippers again! LOL

and that's what we're having tonight! LOL xx
 
So, have I got this right? We're now subject to a new three-tier system, whilst continuing to adhere to the rule of six, must leave the pub by ten PM and continue to wash our hands for 20 seconds. Too many numbers to compute. 🙄

Anyways, 5.1 for me this morning. 🙂

Morning everyone. 7.8 with a downward trend for me. Not bad considering i didn't feel well last night, dizzy, aching and headache.. when i went to bed it was 9.6 with an upward trend so was a bit worried about what it would be overnight but went no higher than 11 according to libre graph.
@HenryBennett , good luck today
@Kaylz, love the slippers, they look comfy and warm. Fingers crossed you and Bruce get to move in together soon.
I've got to do a first aid course today. Whatever you are doing, have a good one.

They so are! They have secret support as well, my feet already feel better having hard soles again! And thanks, I'm pretty sure there will be teething problems with the new system but the site goes live on November 2nd and then properties will start being listed on the 16th, the day after my birthday, maybe that will bring us some luck? Although I highly doubt it lol xx
 
Morning all, 5.7 here after a bedtime correction when I discovered I was 14.2! I was in the middle of talking through a problem on the phone with one of my adult children while I was doing my insulin and serving the meal, and remember half thinking, oops, I’m not sure I got the needle in far enough. I obviously didn’t!

Good luck with your ‘house hunt’ @Kaylz. 🙂 I hope you get somewhere with nice quiet neighbours!

Thanks, I'd prefer we had no neighbours but hey ho lol, Bruce's current place is great for that as even though there's flats on either side they are ground floor whereas Bruce has a set of stairs inside before getting to the rooms so you can't hear the neighbours much but it just isn't suitable, after his fall he's a bit wary of the stairs himself and although I haven't for a while I can have the tendancy to sleep walk, partner that with him with his epilepsy and my possibly hypo crossing from the bedroom to the rest of the house via the top of the stairs isn't ideal! lol xx
 
Morning all. A nice surprising 6.5 today as was 9.4 at bedtime but resisted doing a correction. Rain again today. Yesterday was a washout too, only walked one mile! Going to Port Isaac today. We really love it there, hoping to have a short walk on the cliffs and down into the village for a nice lunch.
We are so relieved that Lancashire has escaped tier three and our daughter’s wedding can go ahead as planned on Saturday. After the weekend the government can please their selves what they do, we’re going into our own mini lockdown again! 🙂
 
Deja vu for me this morning with a repeat of yesterday's 6.6

Very cold on the school run.
 
It’s been a long time since I’ve had one of these but today I’ve got a 5.2!

OMG you two need a padded cell LOL!😉😛:D
 
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
Sound advice from a generation who knew what they were talking about.

Well, today I thumbed my nose up at that advice and had a lovely lie in until oooh let me see (checks notes), 10 minutes ago.
My laziness was rewarded with an 8.0 after going to sleep on a 6.4.
That'll teach me.

Tried to get a refill of 200 glucose strips on prescription and got a blunt unsigned email saying "You were given 100 on 30th Sept". No idea who at the health centre responded. Sent a terse response back and now waiting to see if they'll back down. Not sure what they expect me to use when I run out.

You should be entitled to around 200 per month, they don't really advise on post meal testing etc so they don't factor that in, strips are quite expensive, what meter are you using? xx
