Group 7-day waking average?

Good evening all 🙂

Bit late reporting this morning’s 5.4.
Got up in the middle of the night by my reckoning. At 7.30 ready for the plumber coming at 8.00. Still, the shower was repaired by 8.30, so after a double shot espresso, showered and dressed, and went down into the village with my Blackburn Rovers mask on.

First stop was The Wine Shop, where the kind folk let me go in a ahead of the queue in stead of wobbling on my crutches. Left with a bottle of Campari, a litre of Chase Marmalade Vodka, and I got them to select four big and bouncy reds for under a tenner. Then forgot I had to take my my mask off for facial recognition for Apple Pay to work. Oh well, what the hell. Got it working.

Next stop Spar, for spuds and some treats, then off to the chemist for my prescription, then popped into the local shop to pay for my newspaper delivery, then home.

I was knackered. I’m now typing this lying down after two Tramadol because everything ached. All because the offspring are all locked up because of Covid. It’s almost nine months since I last did that trip around the village, nine months for my legs to get worse. And now, as I’ve discovered, BG of 2.9. Ate JB’s and fell asleep forv2 hours.

Anybody would think I was old...
 
I overslept as pinched Mum's drugs so could get to sleep, gave up on the insomnia gone 3, so no time to take bg before dashing out to shop with family. Was glad anyways, no doubt too high. We're watching Elf. 🙂

Our area, Sale, was on the news showing all the shoppers and interviewing some, numbers around here have gone up. Scary. :(
 
A very early good morning. Already been up an hour! BGs were 4.1! Just taken them again, 5.2! Of course I’m not claiming it as a HS.:( All four grandkids are coming to Grandma and Gaga’s House of Informal and Unpaid Childcare this morning, and staying over, as both our eldest daughters are working today and tomorrow. TBF the two eldest don’t need childcare but we’re having a Christmas party. This was organised before Boris’ 11th hour U-turn, so we’re choosing to ignore it, we’re only seeing them fleetingly on Christmas morning to exchange gifts and we haven’t seen the three eldest since October. I don’t think we’ll be the only ones bending the rules ever so slightly, it’s called the Cummings Effect! Sorry, must dash, I’ve a party to organise! Two more sleeps! Have a great day.🙂
 
4.4 this morning for me. 🙂

Stay safe and well everybody.

5.9 this morning ☹️
I shouldn’t have had those three chocolates last night.
 
Morning all 8.1 for me today after a very long day yesterday. All in all a 16 hour round trip and my hubby is a star. He sat in the car on a trading estate on his own for 11 hours without one word of complaint, as the delay in the hospital dragged on and on. All went fine, consultant and his side kick were lovely, in fact all the staff were, Covid restrictions were fierce. Met a couple of women with a very similar problem as myself, one from Southend and another from Staffordshire. Long story short without details he would like to operate early January, he came out from theatre to an email cancelling all mesh operations during the new Covid rules, not sure why and can’t remember exactly what he said. Surprisingly, for me, they tested my bg every two hours. Feel absolutely fine, just a bit tired and sore. Have middle grandson this afternoon but my son is taking him out before work to the park to ‘run the energy off him’ but he is a Duracell bunny.
Sorry for the longish post and thanks for your kind words.
Have a good day all xx
 
Morning all,
Heinz Special at 5.7 this morning.
Having grandson this morning for a couple of hours whilst parents get some peace and other essentials...
No doubt he will be asking about presents, he is far too sharp and goes round the house looking o_O
Might manage a run beforehand

Blessings Snowwy
 
Good morning 🙂 6.7 for me this morning, on a fingerprick 🙂 Sensor finished at 6pm last night and I decided to wait until the morning to replace it - oh my, they are so addictive! 😱 I felt completely in the dark about my blood sugar levels throughout the evening and when I woke in the night! 😱
 
@SueEK glad it went well yesterday.

And look at you all with little ones to exhaust today! I hope you all enjoy the day and that they don’t tire you out first!

Early Christmas present for myself today. I changed my lancet! Woot! Woot!

The resultant reading was 5.4
 
Morning all, 5.6 here. Had my pneumococcal jab yesterday morning, whisked in and out of the surgery with my feet barely touching the floor, handed the PIL, with the advice 'you can read that if you really want to scare yourself witless...or you could use it as a firelighter...' I love our surgery nurse!
 
Another 7.8 today, shopping all done looking forward to tomorrow, our Christmas celebration is Christmas Eve here in Germany so finish work at 12:00 roast beef in the oven at 16:00 for a long slow roast dinner at 20:00 and pressies at 22:00
Drunk as a lord by 22:15 lol
Have a festive great day everyone

Sure does - congratulations x
 
@Paulbreen sounds good but I'd be missing out, I'm crawling into bed at 22:00! LOL xx
 
@Michael12421 I'm keeping you company again!! 8.3 for me this morning. Not desperately unhappy about that as better than hypo but I might try some adjustment tonight... less cheese at bedtime maybe!! ... but I do enjoy it!

Apart from a tiny, tiny dip into the red last night (3.8), I managed to stay in range the past 24 hours....it's a while since I managed to achieve that.

@SueEK That sounds like a really long day and your husband is a hero! (Where did you and Elaine find these great guys??) So pleased it went well... apart from the postponement of your op.... at least I am guessing it is a postponement? Can't see Covid restrictions being lifted much by next month.
Was it useful talking to the other two women? Hope so.

@Bloden Wow! Well done again! A hat trick on Christmas eve would be amazing. I would be very happy with a present like that! More basking in HS glory for you today!

@Paulbreen Froliches Weinachten! Hope you have a lovely evening.
