Group 7-day waking average?

Thanks @Kaylz around here they have been putting chalk marks outside the houses with dogs, trawling the area in vans and literally knocking owners over and taking the dog, and just climbing into peoples gardens and taking the dogs. Although my dog is old I worry as she is muzzled and they would take her for a ‘bait’ dog. Thankfully nobody can get into our garden and we have two locked doors to get in but can’t deny it’s a worry.

It shocks me the amount of people that are letting their dogs out into the garden and leaving them unattended at the moment up here, I honestly just wouldn't but then our dogs were never let out on their own anyway with having a shared green, they let them out at 10, 11pm here and just leave them for 1-2 hours, its ridiculous! xx
 
Morning all it’s a new month 8.1 with a bonus pinch and punch

A lock down funeral is really odd not singing hymns or any of that stuff but the vicar did an excellent job and there was some beautiful organ music that made me cry. It’s hard crying with a mask on as your nose is under cover, I was watching everyone trying to get their hankies under their masks! The weather was lovely such a contrast to why we were there.

I hope you’re all doing ok and have a good day. 🙂
 
@Flower good to hear that all went well on a sad day x
 
8.2 for me this morning and that was after injecting 2 units of Fiasp at 3am. Another increase in Levemir is on the cards for tonight. Keep thinking that if whatever is causing this increase in basal needs suddenly changes I will be dropping through a big trapdoor over a deep chasm 😱 and the thought frightens me, which is one of the reasons why I am so reluctant to keep increasing it but having to keep doing corrections is frustrating. I have to be honest I don't feel overly well at the moment. I am struggling for energy and stomach is unhappy. Had a couple of swigs of Gaviscon last night before bed to see if that would help and didn't have vinegar in my breakfast drink this morning in case the acid is aggravating my stomach. It's still having a right old grumble!!
 
4.5 Only just got up after a restless night, work was mad yesterday so didn't get home until gone 7pm so had late dinner which is not good for me.

TBH, when I posted last night I used the word that I suspect you are thinking. On reflection this morning I changed it for fear of it being done for me :D
 
Resisted the urge to feed on curry and chocolate trifle yesterday.
5.6 today.
 
Well done @ColinUK I am sure the desire to comfort eat must have been very strong so you did really well to resist. I try to find alternative low carb comfort foods to help me through such moments. I think I ate half a wedge of mature blue Stilton last night! 😱 and not nearly the stress that you are enduring to excuse my indulgence!
 
5.6 for me at 07:38 this morning. First job of the morning was wing clipping the chickens as there were mass escape attempts yesterday. When I went to put them away last night one was missing - we found her roosting in a tree! I'm now covered in scratches from one who really didn't want to be clipped.

Dull and overcast this morning. The forecast says the low cloud will burn off by lunchtime but they said that yesterday as well and it didn't so not holding my breath. Then turning cold until the middle of next week.
 
For anyone who doesn't know, wing clipping involves trimming back the flight feathers on just one wing. No injury or blood involved other than those incurred by the person doing the clipping if they aren't wearing stout gloves and long sleeves. It sounds brutal but it isn't.
Just wanted to clarify that.

I've learnt many useful things on this forum but I didn't know that chickens can fly! Not sure how useful that will be but it just goes to show that every day's a school day :D
 
Well, I got a phone call for a hospital diabetic phone review on 15/04/21 & need to go up to the hospital for blood tests next Wednesday 07/04/21. Such is my confidence after my vaccine that I’m contemplating taking the bus & looked up the bus times but, there’s nothing that quite fits my 14:30 appointment, they said be on time, not early as with any appointment in these times, so, will take the taxi there anyway: it’s either the bus that arrives at 12:10 or 16:40; may take the bus back though! I would NEVER have considered taking the bus before this! 🙄

My last blood test, maybe 2 months ago, to check my liver they also took my Hba1c, without me knowing, & it had risen a little from 61 to 63 & I’m hoping it’s not much worse than that? :confused: That will have to do for an anxious emoji!

And if you wear short sleeves you finish up looking like this

Yes, I remember my parents having to clip my wings occasionally 😎
