Group 7-day waking average?

[MAC2020]

Morning all and a great start to the week for me. A 5.2 at 05:51 this morning followed by a text from the GP telling me that my first unmedicated HbA1c is 34!

Had a lazy day on Saturday - I think the highlight was making my son some jam tarts. Managed a 5.0 at 05:58. Sunday I managed a 5.9 at 07:02. Made a lemon drizzle cake (the jam tarts had disappeared 🙂 ). Cut the grass (a near 3 hour job) then made Greek style roast lamb and a Greek salad which we ate in the garden. It was lovely to eat outside again.

Wow! Congratulations and great job! Lovely number 34.

4.6 for me this morning.

You really have had a good weekend. A HS, a fantastic Hba1c AND Greek lamb. Perfect. Well done.

@adrian1der Well done with the HS

Enjoy Arran. A fine place with happy memories for me. I can still taste the sausage and bacon I had as a kid - mind you the egg and bacon this morning outside of a greasy spoon comes close (Tables filled with QCs and juniors too) so must be a dodgy joint 😉

I love a bacon and egg buttie, doesn’t matter where I am! But I’m sure sitting in the garden of our little But and Ben overlooking the Kintyre Peninsular will make them taste spectacular! Can’t wait, only one year and one week after we were originally meant to be there for my 60th birthday. Hope you enjoyed Greasy Spoon breakfast and didn’t get bacon fat on your court coat!

Bitterly cold wind when we went to get a newspaper this morning. Felt like winter was back but the sun's broken through now so hopefully it's going to warm up a bit.

Hope so - I put my shorts on this morning and it's freezing in the garden!

5.8 this morning. Just could not sleep and it was interesting seeing trace of levels so much more varied overnight. That thinner quIt needs to come out of the box.

Finally braved having my HbA1c done. First since the new pump. Delighted to find it 47 and far fewer hypos now, so was expecting a big rise in this average.

Welcome back @Lanny I hope that you feel better and the asthma settles.
Ooh Bacon butty. So tempting @Clifton and @eggyg
My treat after my blood tests. Enjoy your visit to Arran @eggyg
Congrats on the HS @adrian1der and that amazing HbA1c

Another sunny day which will be a scorcher again.
Enjoy what you do.

4.2 for me this morning. Think I need to reduce my lantus now the better weather has arrived. Happy Monday everyone x

 

[Gwynn]

I completely forgot that the central heating guy said he would call today and finish the job.

He arrived at 8:30am this morning and did indeed complete the job.

So different from last week. No stress this time.

4.2 for me this morning but 2.9 😱 an hour and a half earlier at 5.30am and had probably been low for quite some time as I seem to remember waking up a couple of times prior to that, thinking "I can't possibly be low as there is almost no insulin in my system" and going back to sleep. It doesn't help that I am currently running without Libre and I couldn't be bothered to get out of bed and test when I was so certain I couldn't be hypo.
My readings last night were so stable and high 10.8-9.8 between 8pm and 11.30pm when I went to bed that I actually considered jabbing myself a couple of units of Levemir at bedtime, especially after my 13 yesterday morning. So pleased I decided to just let it go and see what happened and wait for a few days of high readings before making that decision to start evening Levemir again.

Anyway, I am feeling decidedly hypo hungover this morning, but thankfully the paracetamol have taken the edge off it. A bit wary of going for a walk on my own this morning with things being so unpredictable! Stupid I know, as I am more than capable of managing this beast, but the last 2 days with bad hypos have just knocked my confidence a bit. I resent relying on the Libre so much and really want to have a break from it but perhaps now is not the time and I need to apply the sensor I have left to get me over this difficult patch. I also need to ring Abbott and report my 2 previous losses. I accept one was my fault as I caught it but that last one just came loose.

@adrian1der Many congratulations on both your House Special and a fabulous HbA1c result. You really are an inspiration! Well done!

@MeeTooTeeTwo What did you indulge in last night to get a (rare for you) reading in the 6s?? Maybe a delayed reaction to all that Bailey's chocolate!

@Lanny Good to hear that you are improved again this morning and got a good reading.

Morning all, glorious here, 7.2 @ 6.59 and shades of Peter Kay on the buzzer where my son is holding the fort "Are you alright Mrs Bird, d'je want th'ambulance?" I wasn't even there I'm here at Mum's!

18:18 BS 8.7 about middle of the road for me this week so, just about a so, so smile!

I hadn’t realised that it’s been 8 days since I last posted until I got an email from Barbara @rebrascora with a PM message! The days had sort of run together! 😳

I haven’t had a bad bout ofasthma in a while until this week when I could barely move from the bed: JUST about managing to get up & cook for short bouts that would wipe me out during; mum in her last few years was always burning things when cooking as she couldn’t stand for long & would nip off to the living for a rest & watch TV! I didn’t burn anything but, nor could I, in italics, stand for too long either & had to pull a kitchen chair up to the cooker so I could sit while I cooked! My BS has been a bit erratic & my sleep even more so: slept when I could in short bouts as breathing was bad; there’s only so much inhalers I can take & it makes my heart race! But, just beginning to get better & I’ve turned a corner so, now, the last day or so, trying to get my sleep back into SOME kind of pattern: any will do while I stay awake for longer! But, even THIS bad bout didn’t leave me in bed 24/7 living on cold tins of soup like a previous bout: cooking in the kitchen wiped me out; still managed it though & understand better, when it’s too late, HOW mum kept burning things during her last few years!

I’m just up & finished breakfast before I started posting so, pattern is still off but, I AM staying awake for longer now as my breathing is starting to ease a bit! So, the only greeting, I suppose, I can give all you lovely lot is a Very Good Evening & hoped you all had a lovely day! 😉

Read a lot of Agatha Christie Miss Marple while in bed, most of the time, & I do find it comforting especially, Miss Marple as opposed to Poirot! 😛 The ITV productions, Geraldine McEwan & Julia McKenzie, were excellent, in the main, but, the books are SO MUCH BETTER! Some I hadn’t read in 20+ years, as a teen when I borrowed them from the library, & surprised me upon reading them again, on kindle, as some of the TV productions went quite astray from the books!😱 “The 4:50 from Paddington” was a delightful gem in which Miss Marple practically flirted with the detective inspector, the godson of the ex commissioner of Scotland yard she first met in the earlier case of “A Murder Is Announced”!😛😎 Geraldine McEwan is my absolute favourite portrayal of Miss Marple across ANY film or TV production although many said Miss Marple isn’t actually as feisty or as sprightly & devotee’s say that Joan Hickson was the most accurate but, there IS cause for Geraldine’s portrayal in some of the books like the two mentioned above: “The 4:50 from Paddington” & “A Murder Is Announced”!🙄 Sir Henry Clithering’s, ex commissioner of Scotland Yard, comments about Miss Marple are SO hilariously funny & spot on!

Oops! 😳 Better stop now as this post has rather run on a bit: nothing from me in over a week then, a great big long spiel of a post; famine & feast!

I'm a big Miss Marple fan too! I've inherited my mum's Agatha Christie collection and it's on my 'to do' list to catalogue them any purchase any I haven't got so I have the entire collection. I went to the theatre to watch Mousetrap a few years ago, really enjoyed it!

8.2 for me today, I erred on the side of caution when I had my last meal at work last night as I suspected I'd have a busy morning and didn't want to go too low when I slept, but that didn't work out! Never mind, have a lovely day everyone x

Spectacular!! Well done. Along with a High Score (sorry everyone - I try, try, try but when I see HS it’s a High Score in my head - even though I know, know, know that in this thread it’s a House Special).

Oh, so good @adrian1der . Fantastic! You deserve that after all the effort you've put in. Well done.

How very perceptive of you Barbara. Unfortunately I went in search of said Baileys Chocolate, the Off Licence denied ever having that chocolate in stock, so whilst I was in Sainsbos, I bought Green & Black's Organic Ginger Dark Chocolate Bar as an alternative. I confess it was so delicious I scarfed the lot. Unfortunately loads of carbs/sugars, hence the unusual 6 score for me.
No more experimenting or pandering to my love of chocolate. I'm joining Chocolates Anonymous as I post. 😎😳

Naughty but nice. Sets you up for the day I've just had 😉 And with prep till midnight, I need caffeine tablets I think! Kintyre - lush. Enjoy it...

That stuff is lush. You have good taste.

@adrian1der congrats on the HS and excellent HbA1c result. How you resist those cakes you make is a testament to your stamina. By the way how huge is your garden if it takes 3 hours to mow it, you need a sit and ride I think lol x
