Group 7-day waking average?

@Anitram

Martin, snap. We played Escape Room last night, five households. It felt like way more than three hours, but was probably around two. We cheated once with the hints & tips so as to avoid being up in the early hours. It was quite challenging and we’ll probably stick to Psych (check it out if you don’t know it).
 
I haven’t posted for a few days as my readings have been shocking! I was 13.1 this morning and high all over Christmas. I went for a 6 mile walk and I’m now 5.7 and Christmas is now over and I’m back on the wagon and NO More Bread (I hope)
I hope you all had a nice Christmas even though we didn’t see our loved ones in many cases But the new year promises a return to normality
 
G'morning possums. So Ted's gone now then as well? Lost some good peoples over time, what the heck is up with that? I still miss Vic and Bubbsie and them. :(
 
I am a bit worried. I have two friends here, the man is Spanish and was born in this village but the family moved to Germany in search of work when he was only 4 years old. He met and married a lady who is half German and half Turkish. They moved back here about 15 years ago and they have invited me to join them this afternoon for Stollen and coffee and probably a wee bit of alcohol and the invitation is tempting as it has been a very lonely Christmas so far. I will have to be maskless whilst eating and drinking and it is worrying. I really want to go and have someone to talk to and have a bit of socialising but!!
Decisions, decisions.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Go for it Michael. Keep your distance, no hugs or kisses. Wash and sanitise your hands whilst there and when you get home. Enjoy.
 
Morning all,
6.2 this morning.
@Michael12421 did you go out?

Blessings Snowwy
 
5.9 this morning, which is better than I’d anticipated. Back on the straight & narrow from today.
 
I hope you don't mind me adding my own comment. I was so irritated by the NHS for not diagnosing me properly and giving me so little information.

I was initially diagnosed as a type 1, then possibly LADA, then er, just confusion. They didn' t know what to think. Well, if they didn't know then I'm not sure how I was supposed to know.

But then looking back, they forced me to do my own research and take control as best I could. A blessing in disguise. This web site and the people here helped me a lot through the confusions. Very quickly things came under better control and my anxieties reduced considerably.

I am responsible for 'me' and the NHS are there supporting me where they can. Actually that makes me feel a whole lot better.

5.3 this morning. So happy with that but more important even than that, I still feel so much better heslth wise, so well, much more energy, able to balance and speak and think. (all those things had gone haywire just before Christmas).

I hope the coming year will be kinder for all.

This mirrors my experience. I’m pretty well my own doctor and feel better now than I have for many years.
 
It was a 2km walk and extremely cold. I did a reading before I left and it was 6.2. Had a biscuit and walked there with Missy - got there at 4pm. It was an extremely pleasant time. We kept our distance. Just had 2 coffees and a plate of several kinds of Stollen and some German gingerbread plus a glass of Amaretto. Nicest of all was to be able to talk to someone. We watched Chris Pine as James T Kirk in a Startrek film on the biggest screen I have ever seen in someones house. It must have been 8ft x 5ft! Marco is an electronics genius - the whole house is run by a computer. The film ran until 7pm and then Marco told me that the outside temperature was just 2 degrees and that he would drive us home. Took a reading - 6.2 again - had a biscuit and went to bed. Woke to an 8.3

Sounds like a great day, glad you enjoyed it.
 
Morning all. Thankfully no weird dreams last night (that I can remember) 🙄
Still I'm back on form with another
