Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone.
I was 6.9 this morning! Going into a night shift tonight so I adjust my long acting so my morning reading is higher to accommodate the night to come!
I laughed when I read about the house special reading, my sort of sense of humour!
I have found the forum to be a great help, I have a friend who is also type 1 but I haven’t been able to chat to anyone else with it so this has been great for info especially as I have had limited face to face contact with professionals.
have a good day everyone

Hi Sara and welcome to the thread.
Hope you can contribute to the House Specials leader board because we need some more girlies to give Dez, Colin and Martin some competition. @Hazel used to be the queen of HS but she hasn't been posting as much recently and the lads are taking advantage and stealing all the glory!
Hope you have a smooth nightshift.... busy is sometimes better than quiet from experience.... but not too busy!
 
Dropping in after a bit of a break, trying to get myself, and a new phone sorted ready for my pump start with the 780 next Monday. Counting the days, and wading through the handbook!!
Missed the morning chit chat (or afternoon for me on those lazier days).

4.8 this morning. Off for a socially distance Pilates class this morning (only 5 of us in a big spaces and then helping DUK out with Speaker Training Day in the afternoon.

Good to ‘meet’ you @SaraKaya
Well done on the HS @MeeTooTeeTwo

Have a good day all
 
A 5.6 for me at 05:58 on another dull and dreary West Berks morning but at least there was no ice to scrape off the car today for the school run.

Good news on the weight front as my BMI has now dropped below 29. Onwards and hopefully downwards! 🙂
 
Bit of a late one today, I was on the go since 5:00, moving some of our machines from Germany to the UK today... I had a disappointing 10.8 this morning, under estimated my carbs last night so my own fault.
Have a great day all
 
@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats AGAIN, it’s getting boring now!!
@SaraKaya - welcome.
@rebrascora , my thoughts are with you {HUGS}
No reading today - busy. So busy that I got to work at 6.55 and realised I had forgotten my EMIS card which meant I could not get into my system aargh, had to drive home, get it and go back and I’ve had to leave an hour early. Too busy thinking about my hospital phone call today, over an hour supposedly 😳 goodness knows what we are going to talk about for more than an hour! Waiting for the call now.
Have a good day all x
 
2.8 at 7.00 am. Only just up to and sticking at 4.4. Feel rubbish Don’t want to over do it and go the other way. Will have a couple of plain biscuits. So close to the end of term yet so far.
Hope everyone has a good rest of the day.
 
@Lanny, hope you feel better soon.
@rebrascora, so sorry to heat your news, big hugs {{ X }} to you.
@SueEK , hope your phone call goes ok.
@Bexlee, only 7 more get ups. Its been such a long term
 
@SueEK @freesia @Bloden
Thank you all for the hugs and support. Feeling pretty emotional today but I've just decided to have a party for one tonight and play some upbeat 70s and 80s music and sing and dance my heart out. That should be good therapy!

That’s just the sort of thing I would do, dance, have a few drinks and ball my eyes out and then start afresh the next day. Sometimes it has to be done and I’ll dance along with you 🙂
 
Aww Barbara, hope that you enjoy your dancing tonight. Sounds like yesterday was rubbish.
I was so depressed this morning I forgot to post. A 9 for me. Tomorrow I will be seeing the diabetes nurse at the hospital. For various reasons I have not got a libre, and that was one of the things I came on here to find out about. I am such a worrier that I was afraid that I would be even more neurotic with one. Still not sure

80s mobile disco - oh yeah! When I lived near Madrid in the nineties, me n the girls from work used to go to a bar that only played British 80s pop...so bad, it was good (especially after a couple of big Spanish g n t’s). Enjoy! 😎

3.1 this morning for me and I have a hypo headache to prove it.

Decided not to take my levels up high last night before bed and paid for it. Didn't get my muck shifted yesterday as I hypoed just before I needed to drive up to the yard to load up and then the heavens opened, so I had much less physical activity than usual and thought I might even need a unit of evening basal but decided against that (thank goodness) and just went to bed in range for a change (rather than taking it up to 12) and hope for a straight line. Half expected to wake up high!. Did a finger prick check when I first woke up hypo. Libre said 2.9 but finger prick was 3.9 so just had one jelly baby thinking that would sort it since there was only the tail end of morning Levemir on board and it was 5.15am but woke up again on 2.8, so had the other 2... will I ever learn!. Dawn P is now taking me up towards 8 Yippee!... who doesn't love a roller coaster ride!

Well, i wake up this morning as a newly single woman. My partner and I decided to call time on our relationship after 10.5 years. Very sad but we were no longer pulling in the same direction together and we will hopefully still remain friends. I won't deny I had a few tears last night but we ended on amicable terms which is important.
Onwards and upwards as they say!

@Lanny
Hope you are feeling a bit less snotty soon. Streaming head colds are horrid. Unfortunately I think I may have one brewing although goodness knows where I could have caught it. I agree that exercise definitely helps prevent it from settling into the lungs. So pleased you are managing to continue with that.

@MeeTooTeeTwo
Not another one Dez.... Have you no shame! Seriously, congratulations though!

@eggyg
So relieved that I didn't jinx you! Another great fasting reading.... Can you come and sort my levels out??

Sorry about your relationship woes. Sometimes these things come to a natural end and it’s for the best for everyone concerned. Take care.
