Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. An absolutely amazing 6.5 for me. Amazing as we had fish and chips last night, although TBF I didn’t finish them. After our 12 mile walk in very hot conditions, I was only 4.6 just before eating at 7.15. Decided to do a split bolus of 4 units initially and then check when we got home. So,I forgot to check. 😳 At 11pm last night I was 9.7. So had some insulin still knocking about so just went to bed! I knew the exercise would help too. So glad I didn’t buckle and have a correction.

Had a fantastic day yesterday, we were out for 12 hours! Wastwater was beautiful. Quite busy, not Keswick/Windermere/Ambleside busy of course. Lots of photos taken of the sparkly lake and Scafell Pike and Scafell. Lots of cars in the NT carpark at the foot of them, fools or brave, I can’t decide. Didn’t get to St Bees it was far too late and they don’t have a chippy! So went to Whitehaven, haven’t been for years. Sat and watch a very mediocre sunset whilst eating our spoils but we didn’t mind.

Busy day today, we are going “out” out ! You know, to a pub ( garden)! First time since 1st February 2020! Don’t know what to wear, forecast ok but we won’t be moving, not even to the bar, they have an App! May take my rucksack with hat, scarf and gloves in!

Well that’s my craic for the day. See you in the morning, I won’t be hungover, lightweight! Have a super Saturday everyone. 🙂

4.2 whole day on my own in the garden so I can move shrubs around without wife nagging me as too where to put them.

Well jell, to be so close to the Lakes 🙂 Great judgement on avoiding the correction, I hover around that level but it usually has to be above 11 before I'll correct before bed 🙂 Enjoy your outing! 🙂

Annan...where mum is! When we can, taking her to Del Amitri for dinner - if it's still open of course. Hope you've had a great day.

What a coincidence. We might be related! I haven’t been to Annan for years, I have one cousin once removed who lives there and we’re “ friends” on FB and meet at funerals but that’s it. My grandparents moved to the metropolis that is Carlisle in the 1930s! I’ve done that side of the family tree and it makes for somber reading, I keep saying I’m going to Annan to look in graveyards, one day maybe, it’ll have to be after 26th April though, don’t want arrested at the border!

Good morning. We had a good day yesterday. My wife was well and calm and more engaged, and my daughter rang to ask if we could look after her daughter on Sunday. I feel another day at the sea side coming on. Yessss !!!

It was all good....Except for the central heating engineer. He turned up way late and only after I rang the company to ask if he was coming at all, as promised. He came with the wrong parts, and not some of the parts needed. He did not do the requested service but simply a system check. £70 for that alone. Basically, not a brilliant experience. But he does talk a good talk. He did confirm that everything is working ok and that the carbon monoxide levels are very very low. So that is good. But I found it all a bit stressful.

4.8 BG this morning and 5.4 yesterday evening. I expected it to be raised because of the stress, but it wasn't.

That sounds a much better day all round. Enjoy having your granddaughter around. That’ll keep you both occupied.

@eggyg Just cut to the fun stuff and get him to do Hardknott instead!

Been there and done that too, in fact the same day we did Wrynose! I’m a wuss, I don’t like hairpin bends and heights. When we were in Switzerland we, I mean Mr Eggy, decided to drive The St Gotthard Pass rather than go through the tunnel. It was a doddle compared to Lake District passes!
 
Good morning everyone...

My bloods on wakening were 5.4 after a dinner of chicken and salad. Been out with the hound for a walk on the downs with a cup of Java before the house awakens which it just has!

Thought I saw Carol Vorderman on my walk, might be wrong but as she's a neighbour might've been right! She normally pats our girl (a very friendly golden lab) so might also have been hallucinating!

After breakfast, which'll be boiled eggs and green stuff with the kids and long suffering wife (toast for them), Uber arrives to take me up to Chippng Sodbury in the very north of the Bristol area to pick up the new Morgan and I'll drive the beast over to Clifton.

This afternoon a small gathering (compliant with the Covid regs) in the garden for my recent 40th milestone, with others appearing by video including mum up there in the Scottish borders and my brother in Lancaster.

Tomorrow, we are all off to Weston-super---Mare for a seaside day, getting home by early afternoon as I'm back to London on the 0525 (why are weekends so short)???

I hope everyone has a brilliant Saturday!

Be prepared to move them again if you’re daring to move things without her permission though!
 
I’m out of test strips so no reading for me today.
Hopefully they’ll be delivered today or Monday.

If wee Jimmy has her way, that's Nicola Sturgeon's nickname apparently, you'd be paraded at Gretna!

Glad you had a super day yesterday!
 
Forgot to add, in and out for the retinopathy screening yesterday. Turned up ten minutes early. Nobody else in the waiting room. Taken straight in. No drops needed as I’ve got “lovely huge pupils”. Pics taken.
Nothing untoward showing up but they’ll advise the official results in three weeks or so.

We’ve done Wrynose once and I vowed NEVER again! We actually had to stop to help a poor family who had got stuck on one of the corners! What a carry on. The driver, a man, was clueless so Mr Eggy had to get in the car and move it for him!
We’ll just be going by Cockermouth and the west coast today. Much more pleasant. No doubt if I mentioned Wrynose Mr Eggy would jump at the chance to do it in the Jag. 😱

Sshhh, I won’t mention that pass again... 😱

Morning folks.:D Another pesky out of range reading...8.0. I need to sort out my evening bolus - spectacular hypos leading to rebound hypers. Never a dull moment with diabetes!

Does anyone else find their Libre doesn’t record hypos accurately? I had two yesterday, but not a trace of them in Low-Glucose Events.
 
8.2?? Hubby down again now. Meeting some new owners today on their balcony for a coffee this afternoon. Not sure what else is happening.
@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats again on your HS
Enjoy your Saturday x
