Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, ooh so old and icy looking here but no snow of course, we rarely get snow which is good as have to drop a card to my nephew for his birthday. 7.8 today. Going to make some mince pies this morning for hubby to finish up the mincemeat. Jarred mincemeat and rolled pastry and they are still rubbish but my husband is used to my cooking so just eats them, don’t know how I can go wrong but I do, every time.
Have a good Sunday x
 
4.1 for me this morning but Foot on the Floor hasn't kicked in so I am now hypo. Arrgh!
I had a rough day yesterday despite my great start, with levels heading north at lunchtime before I ate anything and not wanting to come down. I was having a bit of an anxiety attack so probably stress related which became worse when 2 stacked doses of insulin didn't stop me going higher, but a third dose of another 2 units brought it under control by 6.20pm. Then I had to sit and watch the vertical downward arrow with declining numbers and a snack in front of me which I was desperate to eat but in the end didn't need as I levelled out mid 7s. Did evening stables and came down to 5. Had a tiny amount of relatively low carb food (2 little feta stuffed peppadews and the remaining thin slice of haggis) and was back up into double figures (10.6 with an upward sloping arrow) before I knew it, so another correction went in (1.5 units) before bed and my evening Levemir of 5 units and I awoke to 4.1 when my alarm went off so I will take that as an overnight success!
Must get out for some proper exercise today as my mental health is definitely struggling as well as my diabetes management. Of course the more anxious I feel, the less motivated I am to get out and exercise, but I must break through that. At least I can start my day without the usual 45min wait for my Fiasp to kick in before breakfast.... Straight down the hatch this morning, preceded by a "Hypo Hero".... I could get used to that... but i doubt my diabetes will let me!
 
Morning all, 5.2 here, second one in a week! That was after a correction dose before bed, when I discovered that you really should take some extra insulin if you suddenly decide to have another slice of raspberry tart after your evening meal.
 
A very respectable 5.7 this morning and a very nice flat line all night so very happy this morning.
Download data and sensor change day today so looking forward to see my TIR for the last week.
Have a great day everyone!!

No rain, snow nor ice today, so off for a tramp in the woods.

4.3 this cold and frosty morning.

Congrats on the HS @Robin @khskel and @Gwynn
@Maca44 i have only once managed to get up earlier than these early birds.
@Lanny DIP is excellent and different each series with the personalities.

@rebrascora sorry to hear of the level of stress for you at present. It really messes up BG levels.
Even though we know the exercise will help us it is difficult to get the motivation to look after ourselves at times. At least stick your head out and take a few breaths of the cool air. Look after yourself.

Have a good day, stay cosy.
 
Morning all. A 3.8 when i first woke, quick JB, then another doze. Breakfast level was 4.8.
Congratulations @Robin, @Gwynn and @khskel on your HS.
Its freezing out there today so if you have to go out, take care.
 
Morning all. A nice round 6 after a curry! It seems Saturday night is curry night. Monkfish Madras for us, a Rick Stein recipe, which even though I say so myself is better than Rick’s. I had it in his restaurant in Padstow in 2016, although I don’t think he cooked it himself. All our lovely snow is gone and we’ve woken to wetness! Congrats on a plethora of HSs @Robin @Gwynn and @khskel. Have a smashing Sunday whatever the weather. 🙂
 
13.5 today, disappointed but not surprised. Feeling off-colour all night, suspect non-diabetes issue.:(

Up from 11.4 before bed, but did have 10 chips and a finger of fruit cake at dinner. And reduced LA yeterday.
Last few days were so good, though did drop from 4.7 (08:00) to 3.1 at 10:00 yesterday. Lying in bed listening to radio is such hard exercise.
Have had a cappuccino at the beach so feeling a bit better.🙂 BS 7.1 but going up, so may suffer for that pleasure. All a bit erratic.
Sorry to go on, just feels better to have a good rant. Thanks for being here.

Just seen @rebrascora good graph so I'm not showing mine for today
 
Good afternoon 5.8, was AWOL yesterday kitchen needed sorting out so I did it. Suffering with bad
Neuropathy in legs and feet, who said you can`t get electric shocks, lower legs have gone red and
toes so painful but hey ho there`s worse off than me, knowing me when I pop my clogs I`ll come
back as a duck called Aromatic, or Peking, or Hoisin,😱 :D no its not the three musketeers.

Congratulations on HS`s @Gwynn @Robin @khskel very nice.🙂
@rebrascora too for yesterday.🙂

Happy birthday for yesterday @Robin hope you had a great day.🙂

Nice to see you`re home @Jade and recovering, let us know how you are doing when you can.🙂 xx

Take care stay safe folks, be careful if going out.🙂
 
Evening all. 8.2 @ 9.43am. How am I not in the double figures? I dunno! When I feel ill tho' I never associate it with the D. I'm crazy. After tinned peaches in syrup and custard tonight I felt deathly. That's it now I tell myself and ever since I've just wanted to eat. I have a serious problem. :(

I have sorted out a milkman for my son who's finding it difficult in lockdown. I feel quite accomplished. Anything 'net makes you want to tear your hair out.

Re teachers. We know exactly what you're doing. And couldn't do it. It's definitely a vocation. It is the last job I would ever want to do. How you do it I will never know especially in this day and age. Kudos and then some.
 
Well done sorting a milkman out for your son can`t sort a milk lady out for me can you?

Remember Benny Hills song Ernie well I was the bread man Ted and I always remember
that stale pork pie hit him in the eye and Ernie bit the dust.:( Well Sue married me Ted
because a woman`s needs are many fold (TART) and we lived together for 13 years and
she joined a religious sect, that was the end of that.:D

Think I done Ernie a favour taking her on wonder if I`m entitled to part of his estate? I took
Ernie`s horse on Trigger and now I`m the Lone Ranger, as I said to Tonto one day when we
where being attacked by Commanche Indians, I think were in trouble here and he said what
trouble white man.😱 Old ones are always the best.

Don`t knock yourself out Ditto Jan we all no the score and you do try and a lot of the time
your readings are under 10 so no big deal.

Totally agree with you Re Teachers they have a difficult job and do it well, also the TA too.

Take care folks sleep well.
 
Morning all,
6.2 this morning!
Not frosty!
Heading for a run in an hour!
Blessings Snowwy
