Group 7-day waking average?

Disappointed with an 8.6 this morning. It was 6.6 2 hours earlier when I woke up having a bad dream, rolled over and went back to sleep. My bedtime reading was 6.8 and overnight graph was pretty level, so it looks like a bit of DP hit me as oppose to my usual FOTF.... much less convenient to deal with!
Up to 92%TIR and just 5% below so I am making good progress on getting better control now thank goodness.

Rebel was a bit colicky yesterday so once I got some painkiller/antiinflam into him we headed out for a walk/jog (in the rain) to try to settle him down and thankfully it did. nearly lost him 4 years ago to it at this time of year. The transition from haylage to grass is what triggers it even though I try to do it slow and steady. Had my heart in my mouth when I realised he wasn't right but thankfully I caught it early and he has been fine today although I was anxious as to what I would find this morning.
Had the equine dentist out this morning. he is a great guy. He was very impressed by my stunt riding cockerel chick.... the only remaining chick from the clutch that hatched before Easter. It's mother drowned in the water butt one day.... Jackdaws had dropped a load of nesting debris, twigs horse hair etc into it and I think she was maybe trying it out as a possible nesting site as she had just come back into lay.... sad way to go! and the following night something attacked the chicks..... they were too wild to round up, so this one remaining one was eventually caught and brought into the feed room and has now transitioned to the stable next door and roosts on the backs of the horses and seems to prefer their company to that of the other chickens. I went in the other night and it was on Rebel's back whilst he was lying down but managed to stay on board whilst he got up. It hops across from one horse to the next if I try to catch it and I have just had to accept that grooming bird poop off horses backs is now another job on my endless list!! Horses don't seem bothered by it at all so I am trying to be chilled about it too.

My daughter’s worst nightmare is colic. She’s unfortunately lost more than one horse to it. Who’s idea was it to make it so horses can’t be sick? Fingers crossed Rebel is ok.

Hope Rebel makes a good recovery. Horses and their digestions!😱. The horse I loaned during lockdown now has swallows nesting at the back of his stable, but now that the riding school has gone back to normal operations, I’m not responsible for grooming him any more. I just need to remember to duck when I go in to lead him out.

Yes I have swallows in my stable too although we are a little behind and they haven't started nesting yet, but I will soon be grooming swallow poop and chicken poop off horses backs and as you say, ducking to avoid flight path when I go in.
 
Thanks for good wishes for Reb. He is much brighter this afternoon, trying to charm the pants off me for treats. Charm is his middle name and if he can't achieve it by kissing you in the most gentle and loving way, he will back up and bow in the hope of achieving success. Sometimes you just can't help but give in to him because he asks so nicely. It is fair to say that he gets rather more than his fair share!

Aawww he sounds adorable
 
4.0 and I win I'm first on yey.

Looking at the garden from the summer room is like looking at a cake in a shop window, I just can't have it. Just want to get out in garden have loads of new plants to plant and projects to plan :( it's nearly June for gods sake.
 
04:42 BS 7.7 Ok ish! Almost feel normal this morning! 🙂 Heart rate stayed in the the high 70’s & 80’s yesterday, 78 to 88, & although cooking was still tiring it didn’t really put my heart rate up by much although BS still dropped by 2mmol.

Already just had breakfast & I think I can start pr bolusing again as my BS didn’t drop & instead normal DP took over & raised it by 1mmol by the time I ate: cooking this morning hasn’t tired me out & I did it more or less at normal speed; 05:00 BS 8.8. None the less I’ll stay cautious & not pre bolus for cooking lunch later today & see what happens? 🙄

Still a little bit of coughing last night & too soon yet to tell if I’m coughing today but, feel generally better even from last night when I looked over the day’s heart rate measurements & it never went above 88!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉
 
Good morning. Its actually stopped raining!!!! Yessss

4.9 this morning which is fine

Not much to do today that's planned. Oh yes, I am going to make pizza using LoDough as a base. Not sure how that will turn out. I've never seen so thin a thing before !!! I will use real cheese, passata, and tomatoes too. Theoretically it should be good. I will eat half of one at 113.6 Cals, 6.3g carbs. Not too bad.
 
5.2 for me today. 🙂
Rain has finally stopped, so off to the woods (I bet it'll be waterlogged.)

5.1 at 06:00 - I like the low 5’s. It’s sunny and I hope it stays that way. Good weekend to all.
 
Morning. 5.4 for me. Although Libre alarm woke me and scan then said 4.2.....woke me in the night too, to say 3.8, when I did finger prick it was 6.2.

Very frustrating...and after an afternoon off fighting lows too, at least half a pack of pastilles walking round Ikea had hardly any effect. Plus other snacks back at car. Sat with my daughter perusing catalogue and chatting about plans for her new house.

Home, dinner, less bolus, dipped again after meal...all very puzzling. Then come bedtime whoosh all extra carbs seemed to kick in. Hoping for a steadier less frustrating day today.

Like you @Maca44 I've spent the week gazing out of the window. Lots of plants to go in new raised beds. On the plus side everything looks lovely and fresh....surely the clouds must be empty by now?

Have a good day everyone🙂
 
7.2 and party day today. Weather still not looking good. Hubby is taking gazebo up, hope people bring wellies and mackintoshs as looks like they may be needed. Weather map shows dry everywhere except the south coast - damn it. My daughter has worked really hard and everything looks lovely. Have a good day all x
@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats on the HS x
 
Morning all, 8.7 for me today. Looking forward to today and getting back to me Strollercise class.
 
Morning all. 7 on this damp morning, the forecast is for it to be dry, light winds with a high of 11 degrees! Woohoo! :( Kids coming at 10.30, well three of them, other likes a lie in! Found out that there’s a steam train passing through Carlisle today on the Settle line. We don’t live too far ( well 2 miles) from a suitable railway bridge so going to walk the kids there later. One of them may be excited! ( Mr Eggy!).😛

Have a super Saturday everyone, hope you all manage to stay dry.
@MeeTooTeeTwo congratulations on your HS.
@SueEK have a great party. 🙂
 
Morning all, 4.9 here at 6.30, went back to sleep and now I'm 6.9. Thank you Dawn. Abandoned plans to visit Rievaulx Abbey and York on the way home yesterday as weather was so foul. Good excuse to have another holiday there some time. Bonus was that we got home for a late lunch, I tipped all the clothes into the washing machine and then the tumble dryer, so I don't have that to face today (just the ironing).
