Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

8.9 on waking at 5:25 falling itself to 5.4 at 6:37 🙄

@Snowwy the whole of Scotland is in the same position, means Bruce's mum and dad can travel to spend Christmas day with one daughter but can't then follow on to visit the other on Boxing day like they were hoping to

@MeeTooTeeTwo mines is at 1C, certainly is nippy lol

Well in exactly a week my watch commander will be FIL is retiring from the fire service after 42 years, such a shame they can't give him a big bash to mark it xx
 
4.3 for me and I got myself an over night "flatfish" My first as far as I have ever noticed...pretty sure I would notice something that epic!
I gotta Flatfish.jpg
I know the reader shows 4.2 but this was 20 mins after I got up so still stable and no FOTF yet.
Apologies for blurry photo but for some reason my eyes made it look like that this morning and camera just obligingly followed suit. Couldn't possibly be the gin, cheese and mince pie (that is the singular looking at you @ColinUK) that I indulged in last night
Maybe this is the diet my diabetes needs to be stable and manageable.
No evening basal on board again.
 
@rebrascora it’s all my fault I know!

6.9 this morning for me. And a pesky cold.

About to make fathead dough for the first time as I’m using that to make sausage rolls for tomorrow snackage.

Going to finish all the prep for tomorrow today and wait in for an Amazon delivery... it’s a fountain!

Not for the balcony but for the cat 🙂
 
5.3 here, my wife is on the covid mend the weather is sunny and crisp on the south coast so I'm feeling alot like christmas, well sort of.

As long as it's not a chocolate fountain, that would be naughty.
 
@Maca44 So pleased to hear your good lady is recovering. Better health is the best Christmas present you can get, especially in the current times.
 
Happy Christmas Eve to you all. My bg’s all over the place. 10.2 before tea yesterday, dropping quickly to 6.4, this morning an unheard of 5.1 on the left, re-tested on the right 5.7, also unheard of for me. Just had a text from son asking me to have grandson again but just for an hour whilst he goes to the gym before Sussex goes into Tier 4.
@rebrascora yes it was good to talk to the other women although their problem is slightly different to mine but none of us had actually spoken to anyone else with it so we felt an immediate bond. One of them is in the process of trying to sue the manufacture of the mesh and it’s in the hands of solicitors, I don’t wish to go down that road, certainly not as yet but it was interesting.
Wishing you all a good day and hope you are as organised as it is possible to be in these strange times x

So glad to hear your wife is improving, great news x
 
5.5 here. After an initial diagnosis of type 1 they back tracked and said they were not sure if I was diabetic at all. No insulin now but I still carefully control my diet and check my BG twice a day. Its been stable for a while now, ever since I reduced and then came off the insulin.

Best Christmas present I could ever get, to feel well. And I have lost 15Kg of excess weight, no wonder I can now walk more easily now.

Looking forward to tomorrow where I will see my daughter and her daughter, but only over the gate as she wants to be cautious.

I hope you all have a great Christmas and thank you for all of your help through my confusions.
 
Well, we have snow this morning now.... just started coming down in big flakes on top of frost so it is lying, so we have a white dusting... How Chrstmasy is that! Anyone else got some white stuff?
 
6.5 for me this morning. Nothing planned apart from picking up my prescription, cooking the ham and making a chocolate cheesecake while waiting for my lovely hubby to come home from work so we can relax and start our very different Christmas.
@rebrascora theres no snow here but it looks bright and cold out
 
Morning a 6.3 for me! No white stuff in the West Country just the wet stuff!
Happy Christmas to everyone, the information I have picked up from everyone on here has made what was going to be difficult journey on my own so much more bearable!
I understand the liver dump now and I now have a little more flexibility in my diet now I can calculate some correction doses! In fact I am eating so much better than I have ever done and the full fat advice is bang on as my bg levels are steady pre and post meals when I incorporate fat in my meals.
my weight has remained stable from diagnosis as well so the initial 3 stone loss has stay off which has been a bonus!
My thoughts are with everyone who can’t be with their loved ones this Christmas and I hope you can all be in touch with them over the next few days in some shape or form!
In the words of Dave Allen ( for the over 50’s only) may your God be with you!

A 5.3 this morning. A beautiful sunny cold day, but hearing of snow from friends further north.
Looking forward to a walk on the hills.
