Group 7-day waking average?

Its a 5.0 here at 6am. Weight down too at 66.2Kg.BMI 24.92.

Updating my App this morning to reference foods and recipes differently. Sounds easy but its full of pitfalls. Its a challenge and I find it fascinating. It will probably take me a few hours. Got nothing else to do, no one to see, nowhere to go. Mind you, in this cold weather I'm not that bothered.

I have an appointment with the diabetic nurse on 23rd. I hope to get a new HbA1c test done.
 
6.1 this morning at 6.15 am
bit of a relief as was 10.1 before i went to sleep yesterday
I had to many handfuls of savoury snacks, following a very heathy fish dinner yesterday evening
 
8.2 this morning.
Went for a glorious walk round the fields that are around us and found some fantastic treasure- an old bucket handle, a glass bottle and an old enamel tin. Carried it all for the other 3 miles of the walk to join all our other treasure in the garden!
Walking later today as waiting for Morrisons delivery.
Good vibes being sent to you all x

Morning all, 5.5 here, normal service resumed. I went high and stayed high all yesterday, then crashed into hypoland mid afternoon, shot up to the teens after evening meal, I know it was a risotto, but I have them regularly and they’re usually Ok, (I make them meat and veg heavy and light on the rice). I've never seen such a steep line up from 4 to 14, despite 5 units of Novorapid on board, and I was still 10 at bedtime. Decided on an extra unit of overnight levemir, rather than a correction dose, and my trace stilll swooshed downwards about midnight, then crawled along the bottom for a few hours, and then rose to a decent figure. Don’t know what brought that on! Hoping for calmer waters today.
 
I don’t know how Italian diabetics cope @Robin LOL - pizza, pasta, risotto, there’ll all off-limits for me (although I do indulge ev now n then, yum). :D

Morning folks, ooo it’s chilly. 4.1 here.😛

The wind was biting on the beach yesterday. I hope it’s not the same today.

Fingers crossed @Lanny that your great nephew and niece are out of hospital today.

Wow, I love the fox @Snowwy!🙂
 
Morning

Well Bruce wasn’t a happy chappy last night, stood at the bus stop for over an hour with 2 no show buses, poor thing was bloody frozen! If I were him I would have just phoned his dad for a lift but hey ho, personally think he's bonkers for attempting to go in today as the buses are late just now in the area and no guarantee they won't be called off later as the day progresses, one of the women that works in the office that stays in the same town as us phoned in yesterday saying she wasn't going in and she drives!

Anyway 7.7 for me this morning, leg really quite tender and stiff after doing my Sayana Press injection this time, ah well never mind, its only every 13 weeks!
xx
 
8.2 to start the day for me, which is a bit disappointing but reasonably consistent with yesterday's 7.0 I may up my evening Levemir by another half unit unless I get out for a long walk today.

@SB2015 We now probably have enough snow to make a snowman after an overnight fall of a further inch. Some of my chickens are not impressed (the bantam Pekins particularly) and don't want to walk on the scary white stuff. To be fair they only have little legs and they are feathered so the snow balls up on them. Just as well they have a covered run, so don't have to go outside. Looks like I have a broody hen in my main flock. She was spread out like a pancake in the nest last night with 8 eggs underneath her. I haven't had a broody this early in the year before, it's usually June, so I'm very surprised. I might have some chicks in 3 weeks if she sticks at it.... not counting my chicks before they hatch though! She hasn't been broody before so not sure if she will make a good, reliable mother hen.

Vaccination day for me today. I am already getting excited about a trip out and what I should wear! Really fancied getting dressed up smart since I have spent the last year in jodhs or jeans or running bottoms but snow is putting a block on heels and since I don't know how long I will have to wait, maybe a ski suit might be more appropriate!
 
Morning all. 5.7 on this -4.5 morning! Temperature not expected to rise much above freezing today, but sunshine is forecast. Will definitely need my coat today @ColinUK! Already breakfasted, abluted and birds fed, again. We’re going out early for a long walk, 12 miles or there abouts. Just trying to decide how to keep my insulin and metre from freezing. Think I’ll need to put them in my trouser pockets! Have a wonderful Wednesday and stay warm and stay safe. 🙂
 
4.2 after good run on treadmill last night and a nice sleep.
 
Woke up with an almighty sure throat and blocked nose. Yup I’ve got a cold.
Not quite sure how as I live alone, always wear a mask when I’m outside etc but just goes to show how pesky these viruses are... and to go with the cold I’ve got a 7.2
 
Good morning all - 6.9 this morning. Much happier today, so back to some exercise this afternoon, sooooo looking forward to that.

Have a great day everyone 🙂
 
A 6.1 for me at 06:14 this morning. Freezing cold in West Berkshire (like everywhere else in the UK I expect) this morning but the sun is breaking through some scattered cloud. The ice was so thick on the chicken's water trough this morning I couldn't break it. Had to come back, get the kettle and melt the ice.

My son didn't want to get up this morning. I think he is getting tired but he finished for half term on Friday. They have to recreate the dance routine from Reach for the Stars, if you remember Steps, on Thursday after school as a fun challenge and then on Friday, following on from the Toad-in-the-Hole cookery challenge they are cooking their own Chicken Kiev tea. Should be a fun end to the half term.

Reach for the Stars) isn’t Steps!
It’s S Club 7!!!

And there I was thinking you were educated and cultured.

 
You're right @ColinUK I have tried to blot it out of my memory!

No idea how you could confuse them with Steps.
Honestly the vocal ability of Steps far surpasses that of the SClubbers. Apart from S Club Juniors of course!

 
S Club Juniors!
