Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all and 5.8 for me although accuracy not confirmed with a finger test.

Now have two sensors to report to Abbott tomorrow replacement for yesterday's overnight failure kept reading try again in ten minutes then died completely. The replacement for that didn't start well. A lot of red and reading very low. Ah well let's see what happens.

Looking bright and sunny. It looks like the snow hasn't hit Airedale.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning. 7 for me today.

I don’t think there’s going to be much gardening for any of us for the next few days. We got lots done yesterday and I just want to keep going. Can’t believe how different today is to yesterday. The sun looks like it’s trying to make an appearance but I don’t think it’s going to win.

Winter clothes back out for a walk I think . Have a good one everyone...stay warm.
 
I reckon it’s indoors on the exercise bike today :(

Good morning all, 5.4 and I am loving that my alarm goes off with the Libre 2 when I go too low. For me this is a game changer as I can relax during the night and feel safer during the day.

I wish you all a Happy Easter Monday.
 
Morning all. 6.2 for me and a very steady line on the graph overnight. Had a lovely day yesterday, saw my older daughter and son in law and went for a walk then sat in their back garden and had a coffee. It was lovely to see them. When we got back home we sat in the garden, had a snack and read the newspaper/books. A lovely day all round.

@Gwynn congratulations on the HS
@ColinUK sounds like your balcony will be lovely. Stay strong tomorrow.
@SueEK enjoy your day at the caravan

Have a good day everyone and stay warm.
 
Pssst, feel free to send some up north!
Yes, us northerners could definitely help demolish such a cake with the aid of lots of insulin no doubt!!
 
Morning all, am still loving the fact people are seeing their loved ones again ❤ So nice to read.

A 6.3 for me this morning. Did have a hypo at 5am of 2.6. Otherwise levels are pretty consistent and have remained in target for the last 24 hrs. I even ate a choc egg (or 2!)
 
4.7 My god I have only just got out of bed 11hrs of sleep. Did get up early Sunday and jet washed decking and patio which was harder than I thought so was bushed last night but have now waisted half the day and looking at the weather I'm not sure I can oil the deck today :(.

And you think you have it hard.
 
9.2 for me this morning after a bit of a disaster afternoon/evening with my levels yesterday and had my first hypo whilst driving, so spent an hour on the roadside on my own waiting to drive home. Thankfully I caught it really early though, so it was just an inconvenience sitting there complying with the regulations rather than being concerning about the hypo itself. Although I am very independent and self reliant and I am often out on my own on foot late at night in my own village, I felt really quite vulnerable being stuck in my car on the roadside with the odd car passing every now and then. Most unlike me! It probably didn't help that most of the cars that did pass were boy racers with 3 or 4 young lads in the car (so much for social distancing) and the same car passed more than once.

@Gwynn Congratulations in achieving the nominated optimum fasting reading yet again!!

@ColinUK Hope tomorrow isn't too traumatic for you. How about getting a plinth to sit the banana plant on rather than a very tall and expensive planter. You must have a huge balcony for all that lot! Hope you are able to nurse the Cyprus back to better health.
 
@rebrascora can imagine that being quite daunting. Thankfully you are safe and sound now though.

Were you a driver before your diagnosis?

Yes, I have only been diagnosed diabetic 2 years and been driving for 40yrs. Not sure I would like to learn to "drive" diabetes and cars at the same time, but perhaps you have more experience "driving" diabetes than me, so learning to drive a cars should be a doddle by comparison!! It generally plays by the rules much more than diabetes!

I’d still need a pot for the banana but a plinth is a good idea 🙂

Cyprus is looking greener now it’s had two good soaks but it’s going to take a couple of years to fully recover I think. If it survives then it’s a bargain.

Well it is if you ignore the cost of the pot to put it in and the other plants and pots which will surround it.

To be fair I was stopped at the junction of a road leading up onto the fells where young lads would likely go to rally around on a night, so I didn't think the "vultures were circling" or anything, but I did still feel vulnerable.
It has been noticeable even in my home village since lockdown that these lads with their souped up cars come out on a night and tear around on the back roads at 11pm onwards when everyone else is tucked up in the house because there is no where for them to go socially. Maybe they were always there but the other traffic (people coming back from the pub etc) at that time of night camoflaged them, but I definitely notice them often at home when I am out walking late at night.
Maybe I felt more vulnerable because I was wearing high heels, so I couldn't drive or run if I needed to. I know that I should technically have got into the passenger seat when I hypoed but I absolutely did not feel comfortable to do that. Maybe it is because of recent press coverage of women being the victims of violence, that has made me more aware of my vulnerability.
Whatever, I definitely felt uncomfortable.
 
13:25 and it’s snowing here in Bangor NI!!

Been there, done it and definitely have the T-shirt, but my pals and I would have been on noisy motorbikes

😱 Not long after my epic picture of the best Cherry Blossoms in years in 2010, my avatar photo, there was snow in May which killed off the cherry blossoms that were budding & affected them for years afterwards & not been the same since! The lambs were caught out & farmers lost loads of them by the sudden snow!
