Group 7-day waking average?

27/11/20 23:30 BS 4.5. Oops! A mite bit even lower despite basal reductions but, felt fine! I went to bed early pretty pooped out after my 5 minutes which I JUST about managed in 1 go! 😱 Had a cuppa soup of beef & tomato, not very often I have those but, they were on club card price too, for some quick ish carbs to bring me back up before cooking breakfast. I also had another wedge of cake as it was past midnight therefore, officially my Birthday by the time I’d finished breakfast! It’s only been a day but, it’s gone even drier: NOT a tesco little cake if I have cake next year then; it’s meant to be the finest & may go back to the asda Belgian chocolate one! I’ll chuck the other 2 wedges as it’ll be horribly even drier! It’s just about time to test for after eating, so, a pause to test live! 03:07 BS 11.0. Umm! Under bolused a bit but, was conservative given the 4.5, ate first to avoid going hypo & reduced midnight basal by another -2 as well; all adds up to being too cautious so, I’m ok ish with that! 🙄🙂:D

An extremely early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
A much better 5.3 this morning. Have a good weekend even if, like us in NI, you’re back into lockdown ☹️
 
Morning all,
Another 6.1 for me today...
Went a bit festive yesterday and bought a Christmas tree in a pot.
We are having the tree outside this year so we can see it through the patio windows. We have battery operated remote controlled lights which no doubt will annoy the sparrows when they come to the bird baths.
Something different this year and no needles to clear up indoors.

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning

Finally got the housing application thing finished a couple of days ago, things have been a bit manic for me with stresses and worries etc and as proof of ID I needed either my national insurance card, birth certificate or passport, I don’t own a current passport, I wasn’t sure where my national insurance card was and we’ve been pretty busy with mum working extra this week that I didn’t want to trouble her for my birth certificate, it suddenly came to me on Wednesday when I was eating tea where my national insurance card was so looked it out and got a pic of it and uploaded it, would’ve been so much easier if they’d accepted a bank statement for me like they would accept for the main applicant! Grrr lol

Yesterday was an absolute disaster, bathroom lads are supposed to finish at half 1 on Friday’s, around 4pm they left here cause there was water going downstairs every time they switched it back on, toilet wasn’t even fitted until just before 4, back on Monday

Didn’t have the energy to bother with doing peanut butter for todays breakfast after all that as had a thumping headache, not sure if it was stress, the noise, dehydration or a mix of all 3 but anyway it’s 2 squares of dark chocolate in my porridge today instead

Anyways its a 5.7 this cold Scottish morning

Hope you can have a less stressful day today.
 
A borderline 3.7 this morning and a flat line around 4.5 to 5.2 overnight, I think a little basal tweak to the pump is needed for the 5:00 - 6:00 - 7:00 and 7:00-8:00 times from 2.2 down to 2.0, that pesky dawn phenomenon is so slippery but I’m getting a grip of it with the new Fisal insulin
 
Couldn't get on to the site again this morning. 😡
My reading back then was 4.5. 🙂
It's nippy out today, so winter draws on.

Morning all, couldn't get on the forum earlier. 7.5 here. Dawn back with a vengeance. I was 8.4 at bedtime, and 5.2 at 2am, when I happened to wake up to go to the loo. Too early to claim that as a morning reading!

@Lanny Happy birthday!

And to celebrate I’ve clocked up an 8.6 today. Felt really rough yesterday with a sore throat and headache so I treated myself to a mince pie (or two) so it’s partially self inflicted. I’m sure it’ll tumble back down as I’m now back on the shakes and salads until I’ve used up the stock of them taking up space in my kitchen.

Spoke with mum and dad and brother and sister in law yesterday about bubbles and Christmas etc and everyone is thinking that it’s not worth the bother for one day when hopefully it’ll be better in the spring.

There folks are 78 and 80 and have pretty much self isolated continuously throughout, my sister in law has Chron’s quite badly and is also generally cautious. Her parents are late 80s and both are on the high risk end of things. I’d also have to take public transport to get to the folks (or walk and I’m not doing that in December!) so it’s highly unlikely that we will be gathering at all.

What about the rest of you, are you able to bubble in company?
 
Good morning everyone. 6.7 for me this morning after a lie in. Its horrible here this morning, raining and dark.
@Lanny, Happy Birthday!
@Kaylz, glad you got your housing application finished. Fingers crossed it won't be long before you and Bruce can move in together. Also hope the bathroom is finished Monday
Have a good weekend everyone, despite lockdown and tiers x

We've decided to all stay at our homes this year. Parents are 82 and 87, older daughter and son in law both at work albeit with covid precautions and younger daughter working in Europe atm and would have to isolate to come back. OH at work and with me in a school, we thought its not worth it. We decided to all stay in our homes and video call christmas morning and night. Its safer. When younger daughter comes home in March(?), hopefully we will all be able to get together and have a christmas dinner then. I just don't think its safe to all suddenly mix, it would undo all the lockdown effort.
 
@Lanny Birthday wishes and hugs to you. Hope you have a good day xx
No reading this morning, got blood but it wouldn’t register. Dried hands thoroughly but still couldn’t get a reading. I reckon I would have had an HS 😉
Carpet down, decs up and tree up later. Tree lighting in our street tonight, we are all turning our lights on at 5.30 and will be wandering up and down the road with glass in hand and fixed smile on my face. Not feeling it at the mo.
have a good weekend all xx
 
Morning all.5.6 after a really good night’s sleep, albeit with a couple of loo breaks. Still a bit washed out which is hardly surprising as I’m struggling to get more than 500 calories into me a day. Just had a nice lemon yoghurt for breakfast, full of sugar but aren’t they all? Unfortunately had a couple of really painful twinges yesterday, not out of the woods yet. I’m going to get dressed today and at least try and look normalish! Will instruct Mr Eggy in the making of my chicken soup with lots of cream, that’ll be for lunch, still trying to decide what to have this evening. Eggs?
Happy birthday @Lanny, big one next year. @Bloden I’m not feeling very positive this morning so I won’t try any bottling, maybe tomorrow! 😉
Have a great day, it’s lovely and frosty here, perfect walking weather. :confused:

Our immediate family, ie daughters and their hubbies and our grandchildren is four households and 12 people so no big gathering for us. We are all staying at home for our own dinners but will visit each other, either Christmas Eve or the day, itself to open presents. That’s the half plan at the moment. Apart from the Christmas I spent in hospital,( we had Christmas on 16th December that year) we have never not seen our children on Christmas Day and the girls love coming to us on Christmas morning for a mass present opening. It lasts hours usually, may have to speed it up this year! We’ll have other Christmas Days. It’s just another day in the grand scheme of things.
