Group 7-day waking average?

3.8 Think treadmill got hammered last night.
 
5.3 this morning!!!


So happy. I rarely manage better than around six-ish first thing and usually around 7

I've reduced my exercise to 10 - 15 minutes HITT per day after doing between 40 - 90 minutes a day for about four weeks. I also went back onto natural progesterone cream yesterday but only a very tiny spot on my forehead. Not sure if either of those would have done the trick. Whatever - I'm pleased.
 
Morning all, 4.9 here. We are promised wall to wall sunshine today. Will believe it when I see it, but I’ve got so used to perpetual cloud that I did wake up in the night wondering what had triggered our security light, only to realise it was actually moonlight streaming in.
 
Morning all. :D 5.4 for me.

My body’s reminding me about the gardening I did yesterday - I’m stiff all over, but enjoyed every minute, well, except the post-workout hypo. I was keeping a close eye on things, but it still managed to sneak up on me. o_O Will I ever learn?

@eggyg I think the whole forum’ll be on tenterhooks today. I’m crossing fingers n toes too!
 
Another 6.8 for me today. Could have kicked myself yesterday as missed a WhatsApp message from work to say that if I got to the surgery in 40 minutes I could have my second jab as they had some left over. Oh well can’t be helped. Have got to take my MIL to the hospital today, she is 83 and very opinionated so that will be interesting.
@Snowwy Birthday greeting to the lady wife.
@eggyg hope all goes well for your daughter, I’m sure it will x
It is the most beautiful sunny morning here, I hope it is the same for you. Have a good day everyone x
 
Morning

Well despite 2 Lifts 3 hours after tea and 5 digestives at bedtime I woke to 6.5

Mum has a sore arm after the Pfizer vaccine yesterday but that's all to report on it so far, poor woman got put out a fire exit door and got a bit disorientated as had no idea how to get back to the bus stop from there, you'd think they could at least say or put signs on the walls or something!

The GP Hub where we had our vaccine had signs and marshals to guide all in and out.

the local hospital had absolutely nothing! it's shocking xx
 
Woken early this morning as my OH has gone off to Marshall at the local surgery for the vaccine clinic. Promised PPE, high vis and a tabard!!

Another 5.5 and a flat line again overnight. This is when the automode on my pump seems to be at its best day I am definitely sleeping better. Like you @Bloden the gardening yesterday has taken its toll but it was so lovely to be out in the sun and look at the freshly turned soil as well as the bulbs coming up. It looks like another fabulous day.

Fingers crossed for your daughter @eggyg
Welcome to the forum @Trant76 . If you haven’t done so would you be happy to introduce yourself in the Newbies thread? Great to hear more from you.

Have a good day all.
 
Disappointing 8.7 for me this morning but I stayed in the green all night so I will take that. Started feeling better yesterday afternoon and managed to get out for a walk in the sunshine which was lovely.... even had a little jog. Obviously that meant I needed to reduce my basal last night. I was torn between 1.5 and 2 units (down from 4). Played it safe with 1.5 and should have stuck with 2.
It was Ian's birthday yesterday and he wanted a takeaway, so I let him decide. He turned up with Indian.... first I have had since diagnosis 2 years ago so shot myself 4 units. Had a small onion Bhaji and then a little bit of his Malayan Chicken (He is a wimp when it comes to spicy food) and a full portion of Cauliflower Bhaji which he got specifically for me and 2 dessert spoonfuls of rice. My reading afterwards was in the 4s so I had a biscuit. It was still 4.4 when I went to bed so I begrudgingly had a Lift tab and then, according to my Libre, my levels headed up to 10 and settled between 8-9 for the rest of the night/. Definitely need to try another Indian takeaway experiment in the not too distant future. See if I can get it right next time.

@eggyg Hope all goes well and you get some good news soon. I can imagine it will be a very nerve wracking day for you but hospitals are so well equipped to deal with these situations now. I will also be keeping fingers crossed for a smooth delivery.

@Newbie777 Congrats on your first reading in the 4s. Well done. You have really made such fantastic progress in recent weeks.

@ColinUK So happy you got a near miss to help keep you motivated. Did you walk yesterday by any chance?

@NotWorriedAtAll Another member who got a PB reading this morning. Congratulations!
 
Morning all...

A 9.4 for me this morning. I hate my levels being this high on waking because it seems to just snowball and remain high all day. I know it takes time once you start adjusting the diet again. I’m being impatient.
 
@eggyg fingers crossed for you and your daughter
@Newbie777 Great progress - keep up the good work!
Mrs @Snowwy Happy Birthday

A 5.8 for me at 06:53. Beautiful day in West Berks today. Clear blue sky, sunshine, frost on the grass - a really lovely morning. Even better....it's Friday and the weekend beckons including the Six Nations Rugby

I used to “trust in Eddie”. But no longer. A wing and a prayer. He’s picked an “experienced” team, ie no imagination.
