Group 7-day waking average?

@freesia I know of someone that's removing their 3 children from their schools today apparently so they'll b ok for Christmas, don't see the point myself if they've been attending up until now though

Happy Birthday to your eldest daughter 🙂 xx
 
Morning all, 5.4 here on my free Libre sensor courtesy of Abbott. They sent one out ahead of yesterday’s webinar, which I managed to attend on OH's laptop. Now I’ve got to wait for the hospital to send over the prescription, and then the fun starts trying to get it on the system at my GP surgery!
 
4.3 and Happy December all 🙂
 
Woke up today day 3 of my new plan.

BG of 8.9

Slightly up on yesterday but 6 points down on Sunday !
 
The heating came on and I took a long and leisurely shower instead of a short and sharp quick one. So, that's the heating and Missy taken care of. Won't have any luck in getting a new mobile battery because it is not considered an essential journey to leave the village.
 
Morning all. 5.5 today, lowered basal last night and this morning again. Actually managed to get through to GP yesterday and a real life doctor rang me back within 20 minutes. I must be special. He wants me to run my BGs a bit high for the moment, hence the reduction, and sent a prescription for Lopermide, very conservative dose, to try and stop the little bit of food I’m eating from going right through me. Had my first solid food yesterday. A slice of Warburtons small toastie with the crusts cut off. It took ages to eat it but I got there in the end. Each day as it comes. Have a good day.🙂
 
@Michael12421 I'm so jealous! I haven't had a shower since Thursday and feel like a total mink! :( could you not order a battery online? xx

Can't help with the photos but as a suggestion set up a google photos account - it will back up all your photos to the cloud and it's free!
 
I started December with a 4.9 at 07:29 this morning. Two 4s in a row!

Very cold in West Berks this morning. Frost on the ground when I walked across the garden to let the chickens out. My son is off school today so got a bit of a lay in.

I could only order a battery online if I can read the model number and serial number on the existing battery but I can't because the words/numbers are in the tiniest script.

Do you have anyway to take a picture of it and zoom in? No magnifying glass? I'd suggest ordering one of those too as would be especially handy for you when you need to see carb content etc xx
 
5.4 for me this morning which is a relief because I had a weird night last night.
Injected 4units for dinner at 7pm which I thought was a very generous bolus and fully expected to need half a biscuit or something before bed. Dinner was belly pork with cauliflower cheese, mushrooms, aubergine and 3 small pieces of sweet potato. Reading was 6.8 so nicely in range. Gave bolus 20 mins and then ate but levels were already starting to rise a bit rather than fall. Didn't think much of it until bed time when I checked and I was a whopping 16.2 with an upward sloping arrow. Checked my Fiasp pen and I definitely gave myself the 4 unit bolus, so where did that come from!! I haven't had a reading over 15 for almost a year. I then had to stick 4 correction units in and set my alarm for 2 hourly intervals through the night. No evening basal insulin again and amazingly I was beautifully in the 5s this morning.... just weird! Has to be a basal issue but then my levels continued to fall this morning after the Fiasp activity ended which you would think wouldn't happen if it was a basal problem.

@MeeTooTeeTwo Congratulations Dez on yet another House Special!! You guys are just making it look so easy!

7.2 for me today. Teams meeting today has been cancelled, hurray 🙂
@Kaylz hope all goes well today x
@eggyg maybe you need a referral to a dietician to help you with your new way of life, hope you’re ok x
Feel very sorry for anybody working in the shops that are going into administration, hope that’s none of our members :confused:
Have a good day all xx

It’s a thought. As I’m quite food savvy I’m hoping I can adapt most of my favourite meals into bowel obstruction friendly. If I’m struggling I will definitely seek professional help. X

Oh exciting. Worth persevering with.

If I take the battery out then I have no power to photograph it. I broke my magnifying glass 6 months ago and have not been able to find another here.

One of three things is likely to have happened.
1. They were deleted (and too big to go into recycle bin) or shift deleted (so wont go into recycle), in which case if you have no backup they will be gone. It maybe be possible to recover then but complex.
2. They folder was accidently dragged into another folder, this happens alot and the folder will just move with no warning boxes. Searching for the folder can help you find it if this is the case.
3. The folder they are in was accidently renamed.

If you know or can work out some file names of one of the photos searching accross the whole hard drive might help you find them if they are still there.

Good luck
 
5.3 for me today.

@Michael12421 - what mobile is it? Maybe somebody on here has got the same one and can look for you. Also a search of replacement battery for [your phone] might well turn something up.

@Ditto, karloc beat me to it. Good chance your photos are there somewhere if you can find them. Need to be a bit tech savvy to do it. If it is beyond you, and if there are any photos you really want to find, then the options are to find a 10 year old a bit more clued up than Freya or bob into a computer shop.

There is the alternative of finding a wrinkly like me or a sub wrinkly like karloc who no doubt grew up looking for lost files in the days before all this touch screen and apps and everything automated stuff was invented.
