Group 7-day waking average?

Dashed out this morning, so only just catching up with posts. Got a call from Sainsbury’s to say I’d forgotten to pick up shopping...got my days muddled this week. Was concerned about what I’d “thrown” in the basket to save the slot...wasn’t too bad as it turned out...extra beers as it turned out, so husband and son happy...however now need to go out later and get rest of things I need.

Zara’s a little cutey @eggyg , I’m sure you’re having a lovely day.

I keep forgetting to say welcome back @Grannylorraine, nice to see you again.

Hope the appointment went well @Flower and that your new waterproof did it’s job.

@rebrascora I hope you've had a good day...I find when I drive my husbands automatic I just have to sit and think for a minute...feet...button not key...button for brake...then I’m ok. I have been known to get out of daughters golf, if I move it and think it looks like the car is moving slightly.....oh yes it is, I’ve forgotten the handbrake 🙄...mine goes on automatically. Anyway, hope all has gone well.

@Spozkins i know what you mean about the weather. I quite like a rainy day every now and then, but I like it to properly rain, at least you can plan...not like today. It’s better than forecast but still not really nice enough to go for walk etc.

Ok, off to the supermarket to get the rest of the shopping
 
@rebrascora i hope your outing with the trailer and automatic went ok.
@eggyg, Zara is gorgeous, she's grown so much!
@Inamuddle lets hope both our levels settle soon.
 
Thanks for all the good wishes guys. Pleased to report we got there and back safely and whilst my left foot was tucked away, it snuck out (automatically) a few times as we approached junctions/roundabouts only to be tucked away again. I know if I did it every day it would be a doddle as it does make the ride so much smoother but once in a blue moon, it really stresses me, especially when I am towing a trailer with a horse in as you have to be extra careful not to brake sharply or corner too hard etc. The stress pushed my levels up to 11 this morning and they were steady most of the day until I got back to the car park when they plummeted and I hypoed so was then stuck for best part of an hour before I could drive us home. Hypoed again after getting home despite having 12g slow release carbs on top of hypo treatment.
It was a glorious day here though and we had a lovely ride and thankfully I recovered from the hypo between school run and rush hour, so we didn't get too caught up in traffic getting home. Will need to look at a further reduction of basal tomorrow and not having any again tonight so I am down from 35units of Levemir 2 days ago to 24 today and will try 22 tomorrow. I have spent the last 2 months building up to this level from 16 and now at last it is going back down again. Can't say I am not relieved but the number of hypos is worrying and inconvenient.
 
@rebrascora you seem to have been on a permanent roller coaster these last couple of months, I do hope that at last things will settle. Glad to hear you got through today alright, albeit a few hiccups xx
 
@rebrascora notwithstanding a few tribulations the seemed to go well 🙂
 
Hello Friday 5.4 this morning
think that’s the first under 6 I’ve seen on wake up since I stared eating bread again
Looking forward to the weekend so much

BUT still it’s not here yet it’s only Friday work to do first

thinking to myself I cant believe what we’ve been though the last year
don't worry I won’t bore you all with the detail..

Take Care & Have a Great Day Everybody !
 
5.5 from me at my usual time of 06:00. It’s overcast and very grey out there.
 
Hi, I think a gold star must surely be in order this morning.

5.2 AGAIN. Yessss!!!!

That makes three in a row

I wonder if my BG machine is broken

I have done my first 2 days of personal postprandial hypotension tests and the biggest systolic difference is 14. So no real problem there. I felt I had to check because I saw a really off BP reading the other day. Not that anything could have been done if things had been out of kilter.

My grand daughter is coming to stay today whilst her mother and father put up a greenhouse on their allotment (assuming the weather is ok). She is delightful, careful, thoughtful. I am impressed with her speech and reasoning progress. Some of the words she uses are quite advanced like 'either'. She is only 2.5 years old. Seems to like the drums (my wifes forte) but not so much the keyboard (my forte). Drawing and colouring is random as I would expect. She loves books, not that she can read anything yet. Her concentration is erratic at times but then there is so much for her to do here. Her application programming skills are completely hopeless mind you some might say mine are!!!!

Have a great day. I expect to be exhausted by the end of mine.

Might go to the beach. We have a bucket and spade at the ready...
 
well done @Gwynn thats amazing
although... I’m going to throw in my scepticism here
and doubt maybe either the machine or your eyes are misleading you...haha

is a hat trick of house specials some kind of record on here I wonder ?
 
4.0 Thank god (If there is one) it's Friday have had a really bad week at work so looking for a change.
 
9.6 for me this morning but according to Libre I have been steady in the 7s all night up until the last hour so I will happily take that. I can work on lowering it once things are a bit more stable in general and I'm not having so many daytime hypos. Off to feed and muck out and then go for a yomp to help bring it down.
 
Morning all, 9.7 for me today. My arm is absolutely killing me after my 2nd vaccine yesterday, no other side effects. Its gonna make work interesting today!
 
Well done @Gwynn on the HS Hat Trick
4.7 for me today. 🙂

Morning @Stitch147
Sorry that you have a sore arm, but glad that is the only side effect you are experiencing.
I found keeping my arm moving helped to ease it, so perhaps work will help!!
Have a good day.
 
6.5 this morning and overnight, after changing the active time for my insulin. Resisting the temptation to change it back to get the 5.5s again, but I will wait a week after any change to see what is what.

Congrats on HS hat trick @Gwynn
Nearly there @freesia and @Bexlee .

@rebrascora I went out and needed the car, and realised that although we have had it for a year I hadn’t driven it. I didn’t even know how to start it (I was looking for a keyhole, and didn’t spot the Stop Start button) . However it is lovely using an automatic now that I have got used to it. The left foot still wants to get involved now and then, and at traffic lights the other day I changed from Drive to N when I wanted to pull away. Old habits !!

Friends coming for breakfast in the garden this morning. We have a big umberella and blankets!!
Have a good day.
 
Morning all. 9.2. Another day of correcting yesterday, breakfast, mid morning, mid afternoon, after tea then in the middle of the night. Exhausting! I've now upped the basal as well. Hope it settles down soon. So glad its Friday, i'm really struggling.
