Group 7-day waking average?

@Spozkins Delighted to hear you got a face to face DAFNE. I really enjoyed mine too even if I don't "eat normally" ie low carb. I am so pleased I wasn't put off by the title as it is so much more than just about "Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating" but about keeping yourself safe in a whole variety of situations as well as mixing with other Type 1s and understanding different approaches and learning to solve problems for other people, so you get a broader understanding of diabetes in general rather than just how it affects you at the moment.... as we all know that can change 2 months/years/decades down the line.
It really is a fantastic course and the educators are brilliant.... so open and non-judgmental. They are just interested in giving you the knowledge to keep you safer and their training is very rigorous in order to promote that non-judgmental approach. Hope you get as much out of it as I did.
Is your course going to be a straight week or one day a week for 5 weeks?
 
Good afternoon everyone 🙂

7:17am - 4.6 - waking - this morning
22:19pm - 4.9 - bedtime - last night 14/5/2021 - no supper last night
 
I’m still pratting around with the new TV🙄
I knew that if I upgraded my soundbar I’d need a new TV - and I also knew that if I upgraded my TV I’d need a new soundbar! However, I’ve resigned myself to still using two remotes and the soundbar can wait.

I still don’t understand that a few glasses of wine, late night, oversleeping can lead to a 4.9 this morning. I’m rarely out of the 5’s.

I’m always lower the next morning after a couple of glasses of wine the night before, it kills my Dawn phenomenon. It’s curious, because my DSN told me for every unit of alcohol consumed, the liver takes an hour to break it down, and during that time will not release the usual amount of glucose. So far so good. But why doesn’t it do it earlier in the night? Wine between 6pm and 8pm, for me, it’s always the 4am -7am slot that sees the drop, not earlier on.

We took part with friends, all online, in a quiz that started at 21:00. That’s when the first glass was poured. It was around 01:30 when we went to bed and I woke at 08:00, rather than the usual 05:50. Strange.
 
4.5 this morning.
Hoping for a good day. Struggling a little with all things at the moment.
Hope everyone has a good rest of the day.

It's the 5 days. I was booked in last March so did a couple of days but COVID had other plans. I feel fairly confident in things like carb counting but there are a lot of things like illness and fitness that can factor into diabetes which I think I could use the help with I never really got a diagnosis myself, so it'll be a bit like that really (without all of the feelings I'm sure!) The time I spent in March proved invaluable to me though and I did keep my workbook which has helped this year.

And as you and @eggyg say it's so nice to speak to other diabetics. How often do we meet other t1s in person?

5.5 this morning. Back in range after a couple of high days.
Dislodged my cannula this morning and wondered why levels were in the rise!
sorted and a bit of wobbly few hours but settled now

Congratulations to @Grannylorraine & @eggyg on your House Specials
I hope your birthday continues to be fun @SueEK

Windy wet day so spent the day sewing a pinafore for a first birthday, all in offcuts of Liberty fabrics from earlier projects. Very happy with outcome.
 
5.8 for me at 06:15. It’s overcast and wet this morning.
 
Good morning. It's stopped raining!!! Yesss.

5.3 this morning. So close.

Nothing planned for today except for an M&S eclair mid afternoon. Yessss. A treat. My weight wobbles around 59.5Kg. So it's ok to have treats every so often. And the eclairs do not affect my BG at all as far as I can see.

We have volunteered to take my daughters dog for a couple of days next week whilst she and her partner and daughter go on a short camping holiday. Ahhh, holidays, I remember those. The last one I had was about 15 years ago. Still, hopefully the weather will be a bit better for them (and for us here looking after and walking their dog). Camping in the rain can be a bit daunting and cold so I hope it lets up next week.

I spoke too soon. It's just started raining again !!! ☹
 
My turn this morning. Yessssss! A very good-looking 5.2 🙂

Morning good peeps. :D 7.1 here.

Hopefully the rain’ll give me enough of a window to get some weeding done - this year’s garden nemesis is dandelions. They’re everywhere.o_O I like a bit more variety in my garden.🙂 And the beans need some loving - it’s been so windy lately, they haven’t attached to their canes and are blowing around like Frank Bough’s comb over in a gale, eek.😉

A Sunday HS @MeeTooTeeTwo - nice work.
 
Morning all it’s a 3.5, I’ll get the hang of this diabetes thing soon it’s just around the corner....

Nice HS work @MeeTooTeeTwo 😎

Wardrobe sorting out today, I cannot wait for stuff from 15 years ago to fall on my head when I open the doors!

Have a good day.
