Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, I am joining @MeeTooTeeTwo on the 5.2 step. Another lovely yoga session in the garden. Taking my mum for her diabetes appointment this morning, which she hates any medical appointments, but like me she lost control when my dad died, which is understandable when your husband of 63 years is no longer with you, so she is terrified of today's appointment and the nurse telling her off.

Hope you all have a good day.
 
@Grannylorraine Many congratulations on another House Special. Seems there is a group of you vying for the HS Champion trophy this year.

Take the wind out of the nurses sails as soon as you go in by saying that you expect results to be poor due to grieving for her husband. It would be a hard nurse who would berate someone knowing that. They really should be there to encourage and support, not tell us off! Good luck!

After the mention of green JBs @rebrascora, if I remember correctly, the only other thing that we shouldn’t mention in front of @Northerner is lovely crispy green celery....oops🙂

Thank you, and that is exactly what we did. Her HbA1C was 43, which was lower than last year, she has some problems with her kidneys so I have to take her for another blood test next week. But nurse thinks she is not drinking enough water, which I tend to agree with as she has a 750ml water bottle and barely gets through it all in a day, so now got to get her drinking 2 of them a day.
 
@Grannylorraine What a fantastic result! Congrats to your Mum, particularly in very difficult circumstances. Hope the kidney issue is transient and getting more fluids into her will improve the situation.

I spoke too soon. Yesterday was in target all day again, overnight i was slightly out of target in the low 10s but today.....sensor alarm has been constantly going off saying i'm high, in the 13s with an upward trend. Finger pricks have shown i'm between 9 and 11 all day. Its made a real mess of my TIR now .

Thank you @rebrascora, we're having a lovely time. The sun has been shining, its warm and no cooking. Back to normality from tomorrow night

We'll try but at the moment it's overcast, there's a cold wind blowing off the sea and it's raining.

23:07 BS 5.7 Phew! :D with a drop of sweat over one eye!:D This 2nd jab started hitting me HARD around 6am! I reduced LR when I got up last night & also reduced NR both -2 for breakfast & still ended up just a smidge bit lower than I’d like by the 2nd meal, 02:25 BS 4.4 so, had the other shepherds pie I did in the oven the other day with no cooking as I didn’t have much wriggle room & bolused after eating -6 from breakfast, usual incremental decreases for successive meals is -4! That left me a bit higher than I’d like before my next meal 06:35 BS 8.7 &just starting to feel under the weather with swelling in my arm & a bit of a headache so, after some dithering about going -4 or staying the same, I kept the same dose. Over the next 7/8 hours I felt worse & got a shock by the time I decided to throw in the towel to sleep through 14:24 BS 13.9!😱 By that point I felt like I was in the middle of a head cold with my arm really swollen, my throat & neck under the chin sore, my ears aching, my nose starting to drip & a massive headache!:( A rare frown there as I felt like a punch bag! But, what to do about the 13.9: definitely couldn’t sleep on that; went by instinct & stuck LR back up to 78 as my BS was heading up! Then, the NR correction: ooh, I dithered over THAT one for quite a while & trying to think, do maths as well, was a struggle with my pounding headache; decided on 4 units & even then, with it dialled up & needle in me, some instinct told me to go down to 2! Phew! It seems that I did the right thing!:D another drop of sweat over one eye!

I awoke feeling slightly better but, still feel like a bad cold & BS pretty decent so, will now cook beef & beansprouts with oyster sauce with broccoli rice, this time from tesco, for breakfast! 😛

A Very Good Morning coming up for you normal lot & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Hopefully I HAVE slept through the worse of it? 🙄
 
5.3 at the slightly earlier time of 05:40. The weather’s looking good.
 
Good morning. Breakfast then on to the beach for a walk. My wife was a bit off last evening, k8nda spoilt the day a bit.

A strong 5.4 BG for me this morning. (Strong?)

Nothing to do today that is planned.

Random thought. Right from the very start of my life I always wanted to be an astronaut. Now that is aiming high! Missed my goal by a million miles, but I did become an airborne Avionics test engineer, before much later on, becoming an internal auditor. So like everything in life I guess aim high and achieve some level of success. So, for my own goal, depending on how you look at it, I achieved 75% maybe, and I was always told that I was the stupid one in the family. Sigh.
