Group 7-day waking average?

Robin said:
Morning all, 5.4 here. Back on finger stabbing until next Monday. Why Monday? Yesterday, a whole year after I first asked my surgery nurse to refer me, I was finally approved for the Libre, and I get to attend a webinar training session next week. Abbot are sending a free starter sensor, and then I get it on prescription for the usual trial 6 months.

Ooh fab news.
 
@Robin that's great news! Although after 6 months all my consultant said was he wasn't going to ever take my Libre off me lol and I haven't heard of many that have had them stopped after the first 6 months but have seen a few xx

I’m assuming they’d only stop it if I wasn’t using it, or wasn’t using it properly.
 
A 7.6 from me today
yesterday my 9 year old granddaughter was sent home from school with a temperature and had a COVID test last evening and we are waiting on the result, she seems happy and chirpy enough so we are hoping for the best.

Way-hey-yippee-woo-hoo!!!!! Dancing round the room emoji. :D

Morning all.🙂 4.9 here.

There’s an amazing sunrise this morning. We’re a bit late today. Normally we’d be walking on the beach already, enjoying the spectacle. Must get out of bed when the alarm goes off tomorrow!

I hope things get back to normal ASAP @SueEK...you deserve a medal and a holiday.🙂
 
Well I'm sitting at work doing absolutely nothing. Our system has crashed, apparently nationwide, and there's nothing we can do. All surgeries and hospitals etc that use EMIS are going to be stuck so hope no-one has an appointment where they use EMIS. Off to make a coffee then!!
 
I woke this morning at 4:30 to my pump going mad with a17.2 reading so I manually bloused 10 units and went back to sleep, woke at 7:30 with a 5.7, no reason for the crazy 17.2 I ate 56g of carbs last night and bloused correctly for it.
im not freaking about the high reading sometimes c*%p like this happens with this disease with no explanation, pump and cannula all seem fine, just thought I’d share to show people how mixed up diabetes is
Have a great day everyone!!
 
5.6 for me this morning. 🙂
Have a good day.

We had the most amazing sunrise yesterday. I jumped up, grabbed my camera and ran up to the top of the garden, climbed on the wall, I still had my PJs and slippers on, and took this photo. A minute later and I’d have missed it.

Oh WOW! @eggyg 😛😎😉 Loved the tale of daring do, in pursuit of the photo too! Would LOVE to make a jigsaw of that scene. Jigsaw World, the iOS app I have on the iPad, has that new feature now & you can create your own jigsaws from your photos!😎😛🙂
 
A 6.3 for me this morning at 05:51. It was a gorgeous sunrise today although the cloud has steadily built since I got home

You’re quite welcome to copy it.
 
Missed posting yesterday and late today but 5.6 for both days
 
Thanks @eggyg 🙂 Made the jigsaw with 130 pieces, can choose how hard to make it with the number of pieces & 126 to about 136 is not too hard while still challenging, & completed it in about 20 minutes: not my usual of 10 to 15 minutes as the colours are quite hard to distinguish; lovely little challenge!😎😛:D😉

Here it is completed! :-

It’s lovely. Sometimes the best photos are grab shots, with no time to think about camera settings or the moment would be gone. I have a few like that.

I always have it set on auto just incase as I’m usually looking for birds so like to just point and shoot! I am really pleased with the photo, I didn’t notice until I’d downloaded it that I’d caught the reflection on the roof of my neighbours old outhouse.
 
4.2 for me this morning but that was assisted by 3 Hypo Heros for a 2.8 through the night. I shot myself 2 units of Levemir last night as didn't have as much exercise yesterday and I was running at the high end of my range for most of the day.... bad move!

@Robin Absolutely delighted that you have at last got your Libre prescribed! YES!

@SueEK Really sorry to hear that you are struggling so much at work. You can understand people getting frustrated and impatient but being caught in the middle where, however hard you work isn't going to improve things much, must be soul destroying. Will keep your situation in mind if I ever have to ring the docs to chase something up. Really feeling for you!

I know what you mean! My avatar photo was taken on my phone in May 2010, not even a smartphone with only a 2 megapixel camera, completely blind as I couldn’t see the screen at all in the bright sunshine when the Cherry Blossoms that year were spectacular: not long after that a late frost killed off the buds that were about to bloom & the trees still haven’t fully recovered in the years following; I just pointed the phone & clicked! The tree, by sheer luck, more or less ended up in the centre of the frame! o_O:D😎😛
 
Gorgeous photo eggyg
