Group 7-day waking average?

5.8 again this morning. The weather forecast isn’t good :(
 
Morning all. 🙂 5.2 for me.

Looks very wild out there this morning. The dogs don’t care tho, they still want their walk!

So sorry to hear your sad news @eggyg. (((Hugs))) to you and your family.:(
 
Morning

A more acceptable but still on the higher side 6.7 for me this morning

Congrats on the HS xx
 
Congratulations on your HS @Bloden 🙂

06:40 BS 7.8.

I finished watching Pole to Pole yesterday & will be moving onto watching Full Circle today!😛😎:D

I have to say that everything looks SO impressively good on the new iPhone as it’s the first Apple HDR device I have & I prefer the smaller size to hold in my hand, than the iPad mini 4, when watching films etc: even on a smaller screen the retina display is noticeably crisper, sharper & the colours definition is SO much better!😛😎:D Yep! I’m still in the new. Wow!, novel phase!😳:D😛😎😉

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
@eggyg My condolences to you and your family.
 
5.2 for me today. 🙂
Looks like its going to be raining a lot. :(
Keep safe, well and dry.

6.0 this morning but that’s probably because I had an awful night’s sleep last night. Lots and lots of stresses at the moment. But they will pass.

Just rechecked and it’s now 5.2 - not that it counts as it’s the second reading of the day but still #Woop!

Morning all,
After a disturbed night caused by men with very bright lights working on the railway line recompacting the stones under the rails, I eventually got back to sleep... o_O
A 5.7 this morning.

A question? Does anyone else get different readings from different hands?

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning all, 8 4 here, reduced basal again, to try and stop the dip into the red, so I started at 7.8 and of course I got a completely flat line for once.
Had a rush of optimism and made Christmas puddings yesterday. Oh well, they’ll keep til next year if necessary.
 
Morning. 6.7, a bit higher than of late. Thanks for all of your condolences. I spent most of yesterday in a blur to tell the truth. Still struggling to believe it. My auntie’s son lives in Italy and of course with the present circumstances it’s unlikely he’ll get home for his mum’s funeral as he’ll have to self isolate for two weeks first. I so feel for the family at this time, I feel angry and frustrated so I can’t imagine how they are. I messaged my ill cousin, she’s recovering at home, to see if any help was required ie running around, giving lifts, shopping etc but she’s said they are fine at the moment. Helpless is an understatement!
Today the forecast is dire, heavy rain and winds so I’ll be stuck indoors but going to do some baking for our grandchildren who are coming to stay at the weekend. We’re having a Halloween party. As we’re in Tier 1 ( for the moment) we are still able to mix households up to 6 so are making the most of it. I am thinking it could change very soon as the cases and deaths in our area are going up quite a lot. I’ve got Covid19 fatigue now and wish the worse was over, I know it’ll never go away but I think we all need a bit of respite from it now. Sorry for all the doom and gloom at the moment but hopefully normal Eggy service will resume soon. Have a good day.

I’ve lost count of how many Zoom funerals I’ve attended. In the first two months it was into double figures.
They’re odd but they’re still invaluable for those left behind and especially so for those overseas who can’t be with others in these extraordinary times.
One tip though would be to get everyone to mute their microphones at the very start or else it quickly becomes a barrage of noises off.
 
Morning everyone 6.3 for me. It looks grey, wet and miserable out therr today. Got to nip out this morning and pick up a few ingredients i forgot yesterday to make a chocolate cheesecake. Older daughter and son in law coming for tea tomorrow. I think we are going into tier 2 from Saturday so it will be the last time we are together indoors for a while.
 
5.3 this morning for me after another increase in overnight basal of half a unit and I have split the difference this morning and gone with 17 instead of the 18units I said I would use, as I am going shopping and don't want to risk getting caught out with a hypo whilst I am out with the car.

Congrats to @Bloden and @MeeTooTeeTwo on your House Specials. Dez you make it all look far too easy!... May have to rename it a House Normal for you.

Rain hasn't arrived here yet but won't be long!
 
Morning all. 6.9 today. Am collecting 2 of my grandchildren in an hour to go and buy pumpkins and then to cut them out. Have never ever bought or done a pumpkin in my life so I hope they are more imaginative than me. Have a pile of washing up to do first as couldn’t be bothered to do it last night. Raining cats and dogs today and apparently Brighton is possibly going into tier 2 soon as cases are rising fast, oh dear.
Congrats on the HS @MeeTooTeeTwo and @Bloden .
@eggyg our thoughts are with you x
Enjoy your day x
 
Morning all, a 6.7 this morning after a sleepless night . Couldn’t get to sleep finally checked levels and 13.8. No logical reason (apart from DF being in her rounds again), once I was back in range I slept. In spite of all the efforts of the DF I have just checked my HbA1c which is now 44. VERY PLEASED.

Thinking of you @eggyg . Take care yourselves too.

Congrats @Bloden and @MeeTooTeeTwo on HS

@Snowwy I do get different values even on the same hand but not by much.

We went down to Ikea for some new lights. All very spaced out and felt very safe. Finished by doing all the local Christmas Shopping apart from some cheeses. Job done. The susual Secret Santa with my family shelved for this year, as posting loses the secret ness and it is more the entertainment in seeing people open them rather than the gifts. So we have booked a Zoom meal together the weekend before when we usually gather here. We will all eat the dish that we normally contribute to the meal and have a toast. Not the same but I know it will be fun.

Wet and windy day. A couple of days of helping a friend, at a distance, to make a Secret Folds Book.
Keep cosy
 
Horrible day in West Berks today - got very wet doing the chickens.

Very pleased with a 5.3 this morning. Four mornings in a row with a 5 🙂
