Group 7-day waking average?

7.6 this morning. I allowed myself pizza yesterday.
Renewed focus and determination today. Albeit with a slightly stiff arm post the pneumococcal jab yesterday.

And thank you again for the support and messages received on here yesterday.

Social media hasn’t been quite so uniformly positive however.

4.1 for me this morning. 🙂
Stay safe and well.

Morning folks. Clickety click, 6.6. After a horrendous day weather wise yesterday. Gusty winds, sunshine, lightening, thunder, hail, today is.....just as bad! Opened the bedroom curtains at 7.30 to a lovely bright day. Went to the loo, and I wasn’t that long! Looked out and it was torrential rain! Ah well, I’ve plenty to do at home, including the usual weekly ironing whilst watching rubbish telly slot! TGIF to all you wage slaves. “Thank goodness I remembered what day it was” to all those furloughed or retired! See ya tomoz, as the young of today say. 🙂

As long as you don’t feed the trolls Colin. They wouldn’t even brave coming out of their darkened bedrooms never mind anything else. I’m a social media user and on the whole I love it and it can be used as a good thing, but it sure brings out the loons. Take care. X
 
Morning

Well Parcelforce attempted to deliver my FreeStyle Libre 2 reader yesterday but of course as everything goes to Bruce's he was at work, thankfully it's at the post office he pays his rent at tonight so hopefully he'll remember to pick it up while he's in!

10.5 for me today
xx
 
Morning all it’s a 4.8 after spending most of yesterday in the 20’s.

I’ve started having a skin reaction to my pump cannulas and have tried SkinTac wipes as a barrier but still had to change cannula 3 times yesterday as insulin wasn’t being absorbed, I’ve contacted my DSN to ask if I can try a different cannula. I hate my blood sugar being so erratic and going so high, it scares me.

It’s windy and wet out but I’m dressing up like Nanook of the North and braving the bus to get a few things from town.

I hope you’re all doing ok out there.🙂
 
Hello folks. :D 6.4 here.

No walk for me this morning...I’ve got Welsh book club this morning, then Welsh class this afternoon. We’re studying some pretty tricky grammar in class atm - in short form past / future simple sentences, if the direct object has a definite article, you have to chuck a random ‘of’ into the sentence...and don’t forget to decline it! Good grief.o_O It’s the sort of thing they teach to 6 year olds these days, apparently, so I’ve got to master it. I’ve got the paracetamol at the ready.😳
 
Morning all. A repeat of yesterday's 5.4 at 05:54 this morning. Had a bad night's sleep as I woke up several times sweating, threw back the covers and started shivering. I assume a sign that my jab is starting to work? No sign of it in my BG as I was expecting a rise.

😱 Not that you’re asking for advice. My solution? Separate rooms.
 
5.9 for me this morning. My evening meal (at bedtime) consisted of a low cal hot chocolate with a shot of my favourite rum in it and a LARGE chunk (probably 100g 😱) of one of my favourite cheeses (Cornish Blue). Cheese at bedtime seems to be great for keeping my levels steady overnight.

@ColinUK I couldn't "like" your post this morning. I find it infuriating and demoralising that some people are so evil/unhinged, they will say such things and think it is clever! It makes me despair, particularly as it seems to happen so frequently on social media! I like to believe in my head that people are intrinsically good at heart, which I know in reality isn't always the case, but I like my fantasy world of kind people and comments like the one you posted blow that out of the water. I just find it really depressing. Not that I blame you for posting it. They should be named and shamed and tracked down and put in stocks for people to throw rotten veg at them. They need humiliating.

Opened the curtains to a lovely, sunny morning then got soaked coming back from fetching a newspaper. My trousers are in the tumble drier and my shoes and jacket are drying off in the airing cupboard.

Disappointed to be back up at 6.5 this morning, especially as I hadn't eaten for 12 hours. I did get a post-prandial 8.1 yesterday evening after a rather large helping of homemade Shepherds Pie at tea time. Must have been the peas and carrot as it was topped with cauli mash not potato. On a brighter note my sinuses are completely clear so at least it looks like I'm over that.

Friday so my regular run out to the greengrocer at our local garden centre later for our fruit & veg. Everything in the shop is loose, nothing pre-packaged and not a barcode in sight. I say shop but it's more like a couple of market stalls under cover.
Apart from that it's another stay-at-home day.

Could you maybe try a bit of protein before bed Martin? Bit of cheese or hard boiled egg. It may stop your liver from thinking you’re starving yourself. Just a thought. Or even a small cracker with cheese. Carrs Water Biscuits are only 2.5 grms of carbs. Give it a go. You may be surprised.

Trust me when I say they’re being tracked and will be getting a knock on the door from the police.
 
Had to order a new BP monitor as mine has decided to go to the great upper arm in the sky.
Plumped for an Omron RS7 wrist one. It’ll be delivered next week and I’m excited!

God this is so sad that that’s the kind of thing that gets me excited these days.

Just back from the opticians. She said I’ve a tiny bleed on the back of my right eye.
“Have you been at all stressed recently?”
Well this morning....

Appointment next week to see if it’s grown or vanished.

Cuppa now and then to the DN for my weigh in and foot tickling. I’ll mention the eye to her and see what’s happening for a retinopathy check. And she’s filling me with pneumococcal vaccine today too.

Thank you everyone for your support

It's a one bed bungalow lol. I don't officially even live here but she sure can't live on her own. I know the answer really, neither of us is gonna make much older bones so I should do a Frozen and let it go. She wouldn't even be able to remember all my bad memories now so there's no point. I've always had issues, my sisters are more sensible and don't mither, or if they do they don't voice it like me. I'm the eldest and remember more for a start. It wasn't that bad anyway, just the odd thing, and we always blame our parents I'm sure. Everybody has bad memories, but it's how you deal with them that's key. I need to suck it up, there were good times too. It's the irony that gets to me, I'm the one that's always had the issues and yet it's me here looking after her mainly. The Universe sure has a sense of humour.

I hates that song from Frozen, what a dirge! :D
 
10:35 BS 7.8 :confused: A so, so smiley for a so, so reading!🙄:D😉

The stormy weather was back yesterday & last night so, not much sun about! I caught up on iPlayer the next episodes of Rupaul’s Drag Race UK & it’s the final next week! Someone I’ve kind of overlooked a bit has really crept up, the previous episode & this one, on me & I hope he wins it, Bimini Bon Boulash; quite a mouthful! But, as good as somebody else is, from the beginning & even I, in italics, can’t deny he’s good, annoys me, Lawerence Chaney, & I’d be a tad disappointed if he won! A nice surprise at the end but, also just a teeny weeny bit mean to Ellie Diamond, if only for a few seconds when nobody was eliminated so, all four are in the final! 😛:D Also, saw Amazing Hotels The Shangri-La at The Shard London. Never knew there’s a hotel up there & it looks like somewhere I’d like to visit to dine for the views of London at night! They’ve done special proposal dinners, 2500 of them in the 10 years they’ve been open, & apparently everyone said yes to gigantic neon lit up letters spelling out “Marry Me?” Although, Giles Coren thinks it should be an exclamation mark, not a question mark, at the end & I loved it when the two ladies of the hotel’s staff said that was aggressive & modern ladies these days have a choice & don’t want to have ultimatums thrown at them!:D😛😎😉

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

It’s rather nice to not have to go Australian today & be up in time for a proper morning greeting! :D
 
I woke early, but heard the rain and thought I would stay put and then ...... Still just about managed to get up in time for Pilates. 5.1 this morning on both sensor and BG. Pump was so surprised it asked me to confirm that it was correct, and good for a calibration.

I hope that you can get your cannulas sorted @Flower. Do you have a tape that you know works for you? Medtronic talked me through doing a sandwich putting the okay tape on first and then the cannula on top of that. I can’t remember whether it needed a hole in the first tape, as I then didn’t need it. Might be worth a call.

@Bloden it was always the grammar that put a stop to me learning a new language. When I was doing a primary school visit I sat in on an English lesson and I was glad I wasn’t doing my KS2 Sats!!! I was of an era when they stopped doing grammar. Enjoy your Welsh day with book club and your lesson.

Have a good day all.
