Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 6.5, pleased with that after a very up and down day BG wise yesterday. Highs for no reason, then after our evening walk, of which we didn’t return until 10.30, a stubborn low. Two slices of Warbies small white bread, toasted, then a ginger nut, before finally going to bed on 6.4.

DSN calling this morning to talk about last weeks review results. Then my long overdue ( one year) eye test later this afternoon. Could be an expensive trip as I’m sure my prescription will have changed, I also need prescription sunglasses as I broke mine last summer and have been wearing an old pair. Well, you can’t take it with you can you?

@Gwynn sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. Take care.

Happy 1st June everyone. It’s going to be another scorcher. 🙂
 
Sorry to see your sad news about your brothers passing @Gwynn

Today 6.6
Happy 1st of June everyone “I like that“ @Eggy
 
Morning all and 7.1 for me.

Actually managed to dislodge a sensor whilst fitting a car battery yesterday. Not upset, it was the old one I'd forgotten to remove.

Today's excitement is a trip to my ex office to hand my laptop in.

Have a good day everyone.
 
A 5.2 for me this morning after a gruelling day deep weeding the front garden. Docks, how I hate you - aching everywhere!
 
5.5 for me this very hot morning. 🙂

Morning all on a beautiful sunny West Berks morning. Just catching up after a (long) weekend off line.

@Gwynn so sorry to hear you're having such a bad time. We are all here for you.
@Martin.A A very belated Happy Birthday. Good to hear that you had a great day
@rebrascora I'm sure you'll get things sorted. You are always so supportive and without people like you I wouldn't have achieved the results I have.

Congrats to everyone who had an HS over the long weekend. There seem to have been lots!

I cut the grass on Saturday which was a mammoth task. Not been cut for three weeks due to the wet weather and it was very long. The garden looks so much better now. Had the neighbours round on Sunday and made Mediterranean Roast Lamb with a Greek salad for them together with Honey and Lime Salmon as one of them doesn't eat red meat. The baby was very winey yesterday so in the end I put him in his pram and took him for a walk. It took fifty minutes but he finally went to sleep - for all of 8 minutes! At least the exercise will have done me good. In the office today catching up.

4.8 at 06:13 on Saturday, 5.8 at 05:21 on Sunday, 5.2 at 04:57 yesterday and a 5.9 for me at 07:14 this morning.

I hope everyone has a great week or at least a better week than last week
 
4.8 and back to work at 2pm glad they fixed the air con in the van.

It looks like you need a whack of carbs at bedtime to keep you from dropping too low by morning, but the fast acting carbs in the plain biscuits may be getting into your system ahead of the insulin and causing a spike. You might consider trying crackers with a bit of cheese, for example, to add a bit of fat and protein to slow the absorption of the carbs down and keep you steadier overnight. I know some people have good results doing this (May not work for you, it’s a case of experimentation, I’m afraid).
 
6.7 for me this morning with no insulin or carb interventions required overnight so that is definitely a bonus. Probably just as well no adjustments were needed because whilst I didn't sleep long, I slept very deeply. Fingers crossed I can start to build on that progress.

Congrats to @adrian1der for your House Special at the weekend and @EllsBells for your achievement today.

@Gwynn I know it will feel like it is all just wiped out at the moment because of the shock but he lives on in the memories of those whose lives he touched which is why it is so important to treasure those memories and share them with friends and family. Keeping you in my thoughts and sending (((HUGS)))

I only remembered this morning that today is the fourth anniversary of my retirement. It’s flown in and I know it’s a cliche but I really don’t know how I had time to go to work. Enjoy your new found freedom.
 
Just had to pop on to let you know that just spoken to DSN and she suggested applying for a Libre without me even mentioning it. She’s starting the ball rolling, I may have exaggerated the number of times I test! 🙄 I’d better crack on and get some finger pricking done incase they want to check! Woohoo! :D I am aware it could take a while but I’m still excited.
 
Forgot to say....

@Freddie1966 Congratulations on your 2nd Diaversary. Is it starting to feel like that day was a lifetime ago? It does for me but I don't mind that. I think it just indicates that I have accepted it and I am settled into my new regime and relationship with food.
