Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. :D 4.2 here, with the help of a JB at 2am.

It’s filthy weather here today! I’ve signed myself up for a 3-day Welsh revision course, 9.30 to 3 - that’s far too much screen time LOL.😱

@Michael12421 I hope you’re ok!

So sorry to hear you’re having a tough time @Gwynn. I hope things improve today.
 
5.3 for me today. 🙂

Morning

VERY windy here and has been since last night

@Michael12421 so sorry to hear you had an accident, I hope you (and Missy) are both ok!

Horrendous day BG wise yesterday, sitting in the 11's most of the day despite my best efforts to bring them down, hate it and I know it isn't exactly "that" high but when diabetes has dealt you what it has me with good control you start to panic a little more even at 11

Quite happy to see a 5.7 this morning and hoping I can regain control today

@Leaderofthecats please stay, you have just as much right to be here as the rest of us, if you click on a persons name under their avatar there is an "ignore" option available

So sad to see the forum turning and there's been so much new members not coming back after their first post due to lack of kindness and support, wasn't at all like that when I joined but have to admit I'd be wary of posting as a "newbie" these days

6.3

Not feeling it today tbh.
 
GoodMorning 6.6 today
(a lot better than Sunday‘s Shock)
 
12.9. What’s happening! Hope everyone has a good day with the new found freedom ..... play safe !
 
I know what you mean @Kaylz. Lately, the forum hasn’t felt as cosy as usual. I guess we’re all extra-stressed atm, because of Covid. :(

On a lighter note, they pointed out on BBC Breakfast this morning that, from today in England, you can’t hug your loved ones yet but you can rugby tackle someone, hahaha. What a crazy world!😉
 
A 5.3 this morning. As you say @rebrascora i think Humphrey (the pump) has settled in now, and we have got to know each other a little better.

Off for a walk and then a cream tea in a friend’s garden to celebrate being able to have tea in her garden. I am not sure I will try the rugby tackle @Bloden . I want her to stay as a friend.

I hope that you are okay @Michael12421 after your accident.

Smile at someone. They will smile back and smile at someone else. And so it goes......

She has progressed as far as thinking that I am forcing her to take her medicine (which she thinks is a poison) that she hates, and tinkering with her food. Neither of which is true. But the truth is irrelevant to her, only the suspicions reign in her mind.

If only she could let go of the 'bad' thinking.

A vicious downward spiral, made more difficult by lockdown and not having friends to rally round. Are you tapping into the forums run by the various mental health charities? Hopefully it’s somewhat therapeutic to post and share in this forum. Thinking of you and your wife.

Sorry to hear that Colin

Hope the bounce soon returns to your bungee.

And really sorry to hear about the tough time you and your wife are having @Gwynn - hope you are getting effective support and assistance.
 
A 5.6 for me at 07:07 this morning. No sign of the promised sun and nice weather - it's overcast and dull at the moment in West Berks.

@ColinUK I'm finding your posts really fascinating. Two year's ago we were at Mount Nebo in Jordan said to be the place that Moses first saw the promised land.
 
Morning

8.3 for me this morning, not really sure why, but there we are. Went to bed a bit headachey and seem to have woken up with it too.

Sorry to hear about your car accident @Michael12421, I’m sure you must be very shaken. Take things easy and take care of yourself.

@Gwynn I’m sorry to see things are tough for you both at the moment, it must be exhausting...your sunny disposition is admirable in such challenging circumstances.

@Kaylz I know what you mean too, it’s one of the reasons why I sometimes take a little break. Every now and again I think there is a little blip, then things get back to normal, it’s like anywhere with people, different personalities come and go, so things will often ebb and flo a bit. However the overwhelming feel of the site is still friendly and supportive...always good to concentrate on the positive. All will be well again.

@SB2015 I agree re smiling. It’s very difficult for someone not to smile back at you if you, give them a friendly smile.

And on that note, I shall go for my walk ...smiling at everyone I see. 🙂. I hope its a sunny, bright and positive week ahead for all x

5.5 at 4am this morning but up most of the night because my wife is not so good, is having deeper paranoid thoughts and is sinking into diabetes. It won't be long before she begins to think I am trying to poison her at this rate ( I or anyone else, hence why we have no friends left now). Been there before. Sadly last time she ended up being sectioned.

She has progressed as far as thinking that I am forcing her to take her medicine (which she thinks is a poison) that she hates, and tinkering with her food. Neither of which is true. But the truth is irrelevant to her, only the suspicions reign in her mind.

If only she could let go of the 'bad' thinking.

So sad because when she is well she is really lovely.

Sad because we had another terrible evening and night.

I dread to think what today will bring.

I wish she would take her diabetes seriously but she won't. She just ignores it.

Sigh, this is so hard and so sad.

So sorry to hear you’re having such a tough time. Thinking of you
 
Thank you all for the good wishes.
What happend was that I drove down to the lake for a walk with Missy. My village is half way up a steep hill and on the way back I had a violent sneezing episode and lost control of the car. I swerved across the two lanes and managed to stop the car heading for the ditch but I must have over compensated and the car turned through 180 degrees and headed back to the right side of the road and ended up into the ditch which is half a metre deep. A man in a Jeep pulled up, passed me and parked. I managed to reverse out of the ditch and he asked me if I needed an ambulance but I assured him that we were both OK. He followed me home and I parked up, He stopped and asked me again about whether or not I needed an ambulance but I said no - thank you. This morning I have some aches where the seat belt restained me.
The thing that puzzled me was my sugar readings. They kept plummeting to very unusual lows - in the 2's - despite eating loads of carbs. They kept doing that all day and before a very rich-carb dinner I was only 4.4 so I ate my dinner without a bolus injection and woke to an 8.3. There are things that need to be done to the car but I have to have my ITV (MOT) in April so I will ask the garage to do all that is necessary for me to get through it - is going to be quite expensive,
Thanks again for your concern and good wishes.
 
Success, Abbott are replacing my fallen off sensor although it's the second in a fortnight, another long wait and a very difficult call due to a bad line and a VERY strong accent but got there in the end! xx
