Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning.
It's too dark to see what is happening out there but the dog came back in from the garden dry so a good sign.
8.3 for me today.
Thinking of you and sending many thanks if you are heading off to work today. X
What a great way to get the weather forecast LOL.
 
Good morning all

Bedtime reading 5.1
Waking reading 5.2

@ColinUK what app is that?
 
Morning

Another crappy 11.8 here, will try upping the Tresiba again tonight if I can, Echo only goes up to 30U and I've taken 28U the last 3 nights and with a 2U air shot I don't know if there's 31U left in the cartridge! 🙄

Really don't have a clue what's going on but it's really getting me down! If it's cause my contraceptive injection is due then I've got another week of this to go! :(
xx
 
4.9 this morning. Weight still moving slowly downwards as planned. Now 67.6Kg. I feel good too.
 
:D Morning good peeps.😛 7.1 here...a gentle drop overnight, so things are improving.

Yes, do tell @ColinUK - which app do you use?

I love your weather forecasting method @Iwillgetthere LOL - send the dog out into the dark and see what state it comes back in.😎:D
 
Didn't know that about the Echo having a max dose of 30 units. You can always give yourself a second jab if you need to go over of course. Not ideal but I always do it when I haven't got enough insulin in the cartridge for my appropriate dose.
 
Morning all. A nice round 6 today. Had a very carb heavy tea and was 8.9 at bedtime, so quite happy with that. No plans today, might just wing it. Have a Happy Monday and stay safe. 🙂
 
I’m a 6.2 today and a flat line all night which was a surprise as I had a roast potatoes treat for dinner last night, must have got the Bolus spot on. Have a great day folks!!

May be easy for you but I don't have the time to change the cartridge at 10pm at night with the amount of hand washing it would involve for me because of my OCD unfortunately so if there isn't 31U in the cartridge it will just be 28U dose and increase tomorrow night when I have time tomorrow to wash my hands as much as I need to to feel comfortable, I'm not in a good place at the moment and this is just adding to it when I could really do without it, I have the Novo Pen 5 at Bruce's but he's to bring things for my mum tonight so unfortunately I'll have to wait (again) xx
 
Morning everyone. Last day of sensor and it shows 6.9. Also last day of isolating!!!! Roll on tomorrow. In between working i shall go for a walk.
Have a good day all.
 
Morning all. 6.1 today with yesterday being 5.8 as I toddled off to bed.

The app I’m using is just the basic MySugr one and the stats for the week are in the routine email they send out each Sunday evening.

Work today, for the first time really in a couple of weeks what with Dad having his heart scare, then Peluche and then the ridiculousness about the laptop and work not being able to provide what I asked for. (I said it needed to be a laptop. They turned up with a desktop and a two screen set up on a mounting arm etc so I put my foot down and said no. Being shift work however, by doing that I had to play hard ball so did myself out of work and money.
They’ve now promised a laptop but it may take six weeks apparently so I’ll be doing what I can do from home on my ancient machine and the old systems for a while.
Still, it’s good to be getting back to work. I’ve genuinely missed it.

On a brighter note, and as I’ve ticked into the next age bracket on most surveys and PLEASE TICK YOUR AGE RANGE type questions, I’ve got a date.

We met online of course and we’ve spoken a fair amount. He’s ridiculously fit (as in he’s actually a fitness model ffs) and seems to appreciate my jokes. We’re going to go for a walk through Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens later if the weather holds.

Just catching up after a busy weekend. @ColinUK A belated Happy Birthday for Saturday. @MAC2020 congrats on the HS.

A 5.4 for me at 06:55 this morning. Dull, grey and misty in West Berks this morning although it is dry.

Friday finished with a cookery challenge organised on Teams by the school. My son started at 17:30 and by 18:45 had cooked his own tea of toad-in-the-hole, mash, buttered savoy cabbage and onion gravy. Obviously a bit carby so I made the wife and I a spinach and paneer curry later in the evening.

Saturday started with a 6.2 at 07:10. Blitzed the house and the washing racking up 8,926 steps. I finished at 16:45 and couldn't face the exercise bike so had a shower and then cooked the wife chicken breast stuffed with stilton wrapped in bacon with asparagus, tender stem broccoli and a stilton and creme fraiche sauce and a bottle of pinot noir for our traditional Saturday night candle light supper.

Sunday I managed a 5.8 at 07:28. After a lazy morning I prepped the veg for dinner and did ten miles on the exercise bike before cooking roast loin of pork, sprouts, and cabbage for our sit down family Sunday dinner.

Peloton tells me that I worked out for 1,148 minutes in January over 27 days and cycled a total of 204.5 miles. Onwards into February
 
Thanks all on the HS. Didn't know what I was being congratulated for until @rebrascora explained so thanks Barbara, and thanks everyone for your comments and encouragement. Still bemused as to what I'd eaten or done yesterday to deserve HS but happily received. ☺️

I'm aiming for another milestone achievement this week...
