Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all,
Six of the best with a 6.0...
I blame it on a share of a small french stick which was still warm when it waved to me in Sainsbury's yesterday!
I was yum... 🙂

Blessings Snowwy
 
05:49 BS 6.2 🙂 I’ve definitely turned a corner in regards to the tingles & they’re on their way out: just as well as having the heater on at a higher temperature was giving me a headache; now gradually turning the heating back down as the tingles are receding & I’m getting longer intervals without any!🙂 A nice hot soak in the bath gives me the longest relief of 3/4 hours but, I can’t justify more than 1 a day; have a huge 5ft long, wide & shallow bath that I can just about reach with my toes at full stretch when lying in it that takes a lot of hot water & a long time for the immersion heater to fill!o_O My nephews, all strapping lads of 5ft 10 plus have always been envious of the long bath in my parent’s house as they could stretch out in it when staying over; I was envious of the much wider corner bath, with a recessed seat in it, they had in my brother’s house as I find this one a bit too long for me; the grass is always greener on the other side!🙄:D The best bath I’ve ever come across was in a hotel room in Vienna that was short & wide with one end of it shallower that the other end so I could half sit/lie in it with my feet at the deeper end! That week I spent in Vienna I had a bath twice a day, in the morning & going to bed, I loved using using that bath SO much! 😛:D🙄😉


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

The end of the tingles is in sight! :D😛😉
 
It’s a 6 on the nose for me this morning. Not that I took the sample from my nose as that would be so painful! Could you imagine jabbing your nose with the lancing device each time you wanted to test?! lol

So how is everyone?

@KARNAK Ted what smart bulbs do you use? I’ve got Hue ones that I request Alexa to operate. She often ignores me or just point blank misunderstand me of course.
 
Morning

Well mum managed to get a jar of almond butter at Lidl for me yesterday, hoping it’s nice seen as it’s only £1.69 a jar

3.9 so 3 glucose tabs, an hour later before breakfast still 3.9 🙄 2 glucose tabs and bolus, can't be bothered with this :(
xx
 
Morning all, 7.1 today. Going to look at a chest of drawers today for our bedroom. Otherwise no plans this weekend but no doubt will find things to do.
@Kaylz hope your numbers are a bit better soon, take care.
Have a nice weekend xx
 
@SueEK thanks me too, can't be doing with this, no earthly idea what's going on or why its going on! :( also glad to see you know what furniture your going to view, I'm not saying your thick but do you know how many times I see people going on about stuff in their draws! Winds me right up and its not even youngsters that I see it from! I don't understand it myself, hope you find something you like 🙂 xx
 
3.4 for me this morning but reversed to 4.3 in the 2 mins between putting my feet on the floor and sitting down at the computer in the next room. I ate a dried apricot anyway to help it. No insulin on board since 2.5 units Fiasp at 2pm (ie no evening bolus or evening Levemir) and went to bed late on 7.6. I even set my alarm and woke at 5am to check my levels. I will confess I toyed with getting up then because I was 5.2. Should probably have had a jelly baby then and did consider it but really not good for my teeth having to have all this sugary stuff during the night, so I didn't.
I am guessing it was the late trip up to feed the horses which brought my levels down. A mile up hill hauling a large bag of haylage and a bucket of feed gets the lungs working and the muscles burning and I was battling a strong wind last night. I ate a plate of salad and a chunk of cheese (Cornish Blue...Yum!) when I came back though... really loving my salads at the moment, dressed with balsamic or white wine vinegar. Got a real taste for sourness!
 
Bathtub envy @Lanny hahaha, that’s a new one on me. :D

Morning folks. 10.5 here, eek. 😱 Some basal testing needed, boo hoo.

Looks like the rain is taking a break this morning...hope we can sneak out for an hour’s walk before it starts up again.
 
Morning all. Budge up @ColinUK and @Snowwy on that 6 step, I’m joining you. Very wet and miserable this morning, thought it was much earlier than it was when I got out of bed as it was so dark. Nothing exciting today ( as per), just laundry. Oh for the halcyon days of a nice restaurant lunch or a weekend away at the drop of a hat. To be fair, I never did that on a regular basis but at least I had the choice. :( Have as good a day as you can.🙂
 
Couldn't get on here earlier. 😡
But my reading was 5.5 back then. 🙂

I too had problems earlier Dez

Lol, yes sadly I have had a fall out with my brother over a chest of drawers, can’t believe it. Our bedroom is the only room where we have old/antique furniture, most of it my mums. My uncle left me a beautiful chest of drawers 4 years ago but I had nowhere to put it so my brother took it, he said he would pay me for it if I didnt want it but never did. I asked if I could have it back and I won’t repeat the conversation. He simply refuses to give it back, told me I would have to pay for the van he hired to move the furniture and fuel etc. Literally he took everything that wasn’t nailed down, I’m so angry and upset about how he is behaving, he didn’t even try to have a chat with me about it. To avoid further upset I have been hunting on Marketplace for one and hope this one will be ok. I can’t bring myself to talk to him at the moment.
Im glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better and hope you don’t get any more lows. Look after yourself xx

Very sad @SueEK but don't let it wind you up too much
 
Morning all. 6.0 for me today and a whole night in target.
@Kaylz i had almond butter from aldi, it was really nice and lower carb than peanut. I hope your levels pick up.
@SueEK i hope you sort things out at some point. My brother doesn't speak any more, absolutely no reason why, he just stopped. Families eh?
 
7.4. Been rudely awoken by the ‘builders’ in the plot next door shifting a mega pile of soil. A bang every 2 minutes from the digger as it drops load into dumper truck then beep beep beep from little dumper truck as it reverses to new spot ......... it’s a huge pile ! Repeat beeping and banging every 2/3 minutes and they started before 8am. Have a good day

At a weekend!!! Bother
 
4.1 this morning on Libre with a wobbly reddish line through the night. Not worried as this sensor has been reading low and as expected BG 4.4.

Windy rainy day with no specific plans. Managed to get out for a walk every day during the week so plan to do that today as well.

Have a good weekend.
