Group 7-day waking average?

Congratulations on your House Special @HenryBennett 🙂😎😉

07:52 BS 4.6🙂 It’s not often I wake in the 4’s & it seems low to me: when diagnosed 20 years ago my given targets were 5 to 10 mmol & I always thought of 5, for over 10 years, was hitting the floor; only in Feb. 2015 after my Health Centre’s practice nurse referred me back to the hospital after rising Hba1c for quite a while despite decent BS readings, did I learn that hypos are now below 4 instead 5! But, I feel perfectly fine & I’ve slowly gotten used to thinking of 4 as the threshold now!🙄 Learnt that quite a few things had changed in the decade I was under my GP’s care instead of the hospital’s after a year of diagnosis!o_O

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
Morning all. A very nice 5.9 after the best night’s sleep in nearly three weeks. No more holidays or weddings to plan for, just a normal boring day. The only thing I have to worry about is how many carbs are in a piece of wedding cake!
Here’s a couple of photos for those who asked. We made it into the local paper, it was doing an article on Blackpool about the first day of being in tier 3 and shot this before the girls went into the Wedding Chapel. That’s our three daughters and three granddaughters. 🙂

A 5.5 for me this morning 🙂 My first ever waking 5 and only my third one ever. Hopefully things are moving in the right direction
 
@SB2015 Your comment that porridge is a no no could also be my problem. I have increased both my insulin’s, half at a time, so I’m now on 3x what I needed this time last year but still my oats/milk/few berries sends me up as high as 16/17. Can I ask what you eat for breakfast?
I’m in a different situation to last year - now over 22lb heavier and far less mobile. I try to work on my weight but with scores of 3 something I need glucose and or carbs
This morning was also odd in that I woke at 10.4, not in my usual green zone

What! OMG! I can’t find it online, I’ve subscribed to it and looked on their FB page. Can you point me in the right direction please.

I can’t find it on their website. It's in the printed edition, and the online subscriber download edition which is where I got the screen shot from. I could send you the cutting from the paper if you PM me your address.

Thanks, Mr Eggy off to the newsagents as we speak. If we haven’t any luck I’ll take you up on your offer of the cutting. Thanks.

Was Mr Eggy successful? If not, I can also post you a paper copy if you want. Half page, decent photo!

I would guess that if it was in the Telegraph it may well have been in other papers as well.

Glad you had such a good day, you must be so relieved now.

I'd just have an extra anniversary, it might be simpler!!!
 
Well the DF has been with me all day today. Woke to an 8.0 which wasn't too bad. Split dose for breakfast which usually keeps it under control until lunchtime. Not so today, went up to 13 and was still 11 by lunch!! Had a correction with lunch but 3 hours later back to 13. I've corrected again and its 8.6 and dropping now. What a day so far 🙄

Thanks for the offer. We have six copies. Cleared out the local newsagents!
 
My driving license was returned last week then a letter arrived today detailing the precautions required to comply with DVLA regulations.
“Always have a blood testing kit in the car in addition to wearing a Sensor
Maximum of 2 hours driving without a break (I’d do that anyway)
More frequent testing after physical activity or altered meal
Personal identification in case of an accident
Etc, etc”
Much of it is common sense but I hadn’t appreciated all the details.
I have only driven once in the last two years so it’s confidence I need and lots of practice
