Group 7-day waking average?

Forgive me if I’ve missed any HS’s today but I’m reduced to using my phone for interweb stuff at the moment. I will replace my iPad at some point but I’m also thinking of maybe just getting an external wireless touchscreen monitor for the iPhone...
 
It's suddenly turned cold here after a few mild (but wet) days, with a strong northerly wind this morning. Chilly walk to get a newspaper, especially coming back with the wind in our faces. Nice to get back indoors, settle down with a coffee and read the paper.

Heading into town shortly to see if I can get a haircut. Hopefully no queue but not counting on it, and might head over to Next in nearby Bracknell later as I need a new winter coat. Seen one I like online but I can try it on in store.

Still down in the low 5s with a 5.2 this morning.

Martin
Congratulations, I’m surprised @ColinUK parted with a one!
 
I got a 5.2 as well. Maybe the diabetes fairy is whizzing around tweaking everybody's meters just to cheer us up. She will be back to her old tricks next week, mark my words.
 
4.5 for me this morning which I am more than happy with after 4 units of Levemir last night and a single unit correction of Fiasp at bedtime to deal with a surprising 12.9. 19 units of basal this morning seems to be keeping me much steadier today than yesterday so I'm really pleased with that too. Lets hope DF has moved on and I can get things back on track.

Congrats to all you clever people who managed to get a "Colin Special" today... @Kaylz, @Anitram, @Docb and @ColinUK. Must be something in the air. Love how you were so casual about announcing yours @Anitram.
Also congrats to @adrian1der on getting one yesterday

@Michael12421 So relieved to see you getting some steady safe numbers the last 2 mornings Michael. Really hope you can continue that trend.
 
Hey @Kaylz, a while ago you asked me about different flavour Moser Roth. I don't know whether you found out in the meantime but i was in Aldi tonight and found these. The white choc photo is blurred but i think the carbs were 13g per bar x

Morning everyone. 5.9 on waking, 4.2 before breakfast. Eeekkkk, better have some juice with breakfast to bring it up a bit or i'll be ringing work saying i'll be late because of hypo!
Its very dark this morning. I don't like working at this time of year, it feels like i see no daylight.
@Bexlee, was wondering about you this morning and up you popped on the forum. Sorry your levels aren't settling. Hope you feel better soon.
Have a good day everyone and hey...be careful out there!
Thanks @freesia they’ve been a bit better and more settled today but I’ve been powered by haribos a couple of times! I feel I don’t see daylight this time of year either. Mor long to Christmas (or a school closure - which ever comes 1st, although I don’t want that but it may be the only answer the way it’s passing around youngsters
 
Morning all. 🙂 A whopping 12.1 for me...there must’ve been a lot more fat in last night’s meal than Ithan I realised. Or the DF’s on the warpath - who’s been winding her up?😉:D

I Zoom-met my new Ffrind Siarad (Welsh conversation buddy) yesterday. I was wiped out afterwards - I’d forgotten how knackering wrestling with a foreign language can be!😱
 
Morning all
No HS for me today... Celebrating something much better.

Our 46th Wedding Anniversary today with my lovely Lin.

Out to a carvery yesterday.
Just squeezed it in before lockdown phew!
Anyhoo a 5.7 for me today 😎 and first frost outside!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning

Expert meter is being very temperamental, electronic errors, not enough sample etc so I finally called the health centre yesterday to ask about switching to the Contour Next strips, after the receptionist not knowing anything (even what to do) she finally decided to put me through to the pharmacist, she checked the system and they can in fact prescribe the Contour Next strips to Type 1’s so I’ve been allowed to swap! :D I’ll have to call the chemist and see if I can have my allowance increased at least for the first prescription as with the serial prescription I’m only getting 250 for 2 months, standard 4 tests a day for 60 days uses 240 allowing me only 10 for lows/highs etc so that’s pushing it for me, wish me luck, wasn’t an issue as had 2 spare boxes of Aviva strips in the cupboard

Going to get on to ordering a cheaper version of the Feliway for Bubbles today, Beaphar do one for a much lower price so hopefully it works just as well

Anyways its 6.5 on Contour, 7.3 on Expert with Contour being closer to Libre scan
Xx
 
4.7 for me this morning.
Happy Wedding Anniversary @Snowwy 🙂

Morning all. After a hypo just before bed and an overnight rebound, i woke to a 6.6. Will take that.
@Snowwy, happy anniversary
@Bexlee, happy your levels are getting better. I know what you mean though, this is only the third day back and i'm exhausted! Have a good day.
 
Morning all. 6.4 for me after measuring 4.9 at 11 last night. A slice of toasted Hovis and peanut butter seems to have sorted it. It’s dry this morning so walking into town for an emergency haircut, wasn’t due until next week but my fabulous hairdresser called me on Sunday and squeezed me in. Just a dry trim though. Going to get some birthday cards as we have a couple during lockdown and might even buy my Christmas cards whilst I’m at it! Have a good Lockdown Eve. 🙂
Happy anniversary Mr and Mrs @Snowwy.
