Group 7-day waking average?

5 at 5 am. Had jab yesterday and was a bit blase about it. After all i have the flu jab every year with no side effects. Well i fell asleep in the afternoon, bs high in the evening. It snowed last night, i couldn't sleep felt cold and shivery. Feel rubbish. Well done @eggyg on your walk, i don't think i will be joining you today !
 
8.7 after a completely rubbish night with neuropathy pains. Mind you it's a balmy -2.6 here!
I 'made' frozen yogurt yesterday as I had a glut of pots of Greek. Perhaps I shall pop on my bikini and head to the lounger in the garden with my frozen dessert to cool me down!
Have a good day every one x

Good morning all - 6.0 this morning. I've knocked the Gliclazide on the head at the moment.

Had a nice surprise yesterday. Didn't realise that my tester did averages. 7 day = 5.8; 14 day = 5.9 and 30 day = 8.1. To be fair, I'm pretty happy with that :D.

Have a great day everyone 🙂
 
Morning all, so cold here I'm wearing socks and 3 layers one being my big arran jumper!

So true. I was a massive Kinks fan and I have all their singles, EPs and LPs from 1964-1971 up in our loft. These days I just put on one of their compilation CDs, although I do have a USB turntable and have transferred a couple of the LPs onto CD already.

My music collection is mostly 60s - Kinks, Beatles, Hollies, Searchers to name a few, as well as several compilations. So glad to have been a teenager in the 60s when it was all new. Became a Fleetwood Mac fan after they reformed when Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined, and after meeting my wife in 1989 I discovered The Eagles as she's a big fan. As I've got older I've become more Sade and Katie Melua and I have all of their albums.

Excellent choices. I went to Uni in 1983 so I'm more late 70s and 80s myself. Thought I had to post this one as you're an Eagles fan. I know I should have been standing 🙂

Had to be up early again today for a hospital appointment. This time a cardiac MRI as they are still trying to work out why I passed out before Christmas. Scored another reading in the sixes with a 6.3 at 06:01 I then had a thought - maybe I'm seeing sixes because I have been getting up early. After a mug of tea back in bed I re-tested at my more usual time of 06:57 and got a 5.5. Could I be seeing a DP before I wake up? Is that possible?
 
Good morning 7.6 purposely done been running low recently, temperature just touching
double figures in the bay no snow, ice or frost still in shorts.🙂

Take stay safe folks.🙂
 
5.6 this morning. Bonkers thing diabetes is. Totally unpredictable.
 
4.2 for me this morning at 7am after hypos at 3am and 5.30am treated with half a tube of Lift tabs and that was with 1 unit less Levemir than the previous night rather than increasing it which I had intended to do. Find it hard to imagine my vaccine yesterday afternoon was responsible and my levels are very erratic at the moment anyway, so not blaming it and apart from losing sleep, no big deal for me, but it was a big surprise as I really thought I had gone to bed very safe.
Had my morning Levemir and a cuppa and headed out to feed and muck out and defrost water.... Boy did that take some doing this morning, especially the water trough for the horses as feed pipe was frozen solid all the way down into the ground despite lagging. Glorious winter landscape here with blue sky and sunshine and glistening snow.
By the time I got home for breakfast, there was only one choice of menu I fancied and that was porridge and despite weighing and calculating it carefully I am now up at 12.1 and been up here for more than an hour (I was a lovely 6 before eating my porridge!) and my lunchtime bolus (rare ocasion for me to have lunch and breakfast but didn't have much for my evening meal last night so I am hungry today) is taking an age to bring me down to a sensible number so I can eat.

Bleached my pony tail last night so today is the day when I go blue.... and it is my Diaversary today (2 years) and my birthday tomorrow (57yrs) so my Lagoon Blue hair is to be a statement of me feeling younger and more carefree and just a bit frivolous! I also bought some Lilac and Turquoise but think I might just stick with the blue this first time and experiment with adding the other colours when I get a bit more experienced at dying it. Will see about getting a photo once it is sorted.

Think that is all my news. No ill effects from my vaccine (OAZ) yesterday. My arm may be very slightly sore but I have to be really pressing quite firmly to feel it and I don't feel tired apart from having been awake half the night stuffing my face with glucose tablets, so quite happy with how that is going.

Thanks for the supportive messages. I am definitely feeling a lot brighter today (will be looking brighter later too 😱 ) and it means so much that people trouble themselves to say such lovely things to help lift my spirits.

Seen them live twice, once at the old Wembley and the second time at Twickenham.

Saw the Kinks live at Swansea Top Rank back in 1970, and for my 60th my wife bought tickets to see Ray Davies in Oxford. Although he was doing a solo tour he had backing musicians and did several Kinks numbers. Have also seen the musical "Sunny Afternoon", the story of the Kinks.

Oh to be able to go and see a live show - any show - at the moment.

Very jealous. I would have loved to have seen the Eagles. Right now any live music, as you say, would be great. My all time favourite concert was Dire Straits on the Brothers in Arms tour.

I think I need another eye test. 🙂
I first read that as "Bleached my pony last night" and thought they don't do that do they? 😱🙄
