Group 7-day waking average?

Another 6.9 today though very low carb yesterday. Had lovely breakfast out with daughter and grandchildren then went and bought two rats for my grandson. Not my cup of tea but that’s what he wanted for his birthday, daughter had looked into it all and got everything needed but I can’t abide their feet and tails ugh!
@Northerner congrats on the HS
@Michael12421 oh dear you have had a lot of low figures lately, hope you are ok x
Have a good day all and stay safe in the sunshine or you will start needing bits of your body cut out like me :confused: x
 
Congratulations @Northerner on the HS. 5.5 for me today. 🙂

Good morning all,
Hope everyone is well
Congratulations @Northerner for that rare number.
mine this morning is not too bad at 5.6,
Considering the carb loading I had to do last night for a swim session. 4 slices of bead and butter and 4 digestive biscuits when BG was 7.6.
1650 m (66 lengths) or an hour later BG was 4.8 so within bounds. Only problem was I overcompensated with an orange and it rose to 8.6 before driving back from the pool and 9.6 before bed
I was sort of dreading pricking finger this morning.
Have a great day everyone and stay safe.
 
08:22 BS 9.7 🙄 Uhm! & :confused: a so so smile!

Had a Chinese takeaway last evening & guessing what bolus I needed & got it wrong, obviously: managed to stay up to watch ALL of the golf yesterday; super long day, though, & had 5 meals including the last one of Singapore fried rice with satay sauce!😛 Found out from taxi driver, the last time I was out for 2nd vaccine jab, that my local takeaway does on line ordering & delivery so, it had stuck in my mind & I fancied something naughty while watching The Open!🙄 Finally turned in around 22:30 ish when I really should have stayed up to monitor & add corrections etc. but, was KNACKERED!o_O Ah, well! A slapped wrists emoji for me, then!😳:D Enjoyed it though!😛😉

A bit later Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Live golf starts at 09:00 & another Japanese guy, playing for the US, Collin Morikawa a new comer stormed up the leader board yesterday with a 2nd round of 64 to be in 2nd place on -9 only 2 shots behind the leader on -11! 😛😎 It’s Moving Day, as the 3rd round of golf is called as golfers move into position, hopefully up the leaderboard, ready to play the last & final round 4 tomorrow! A bit of a later start as the field was cut after yesterday’s round 2!
 
Morning

9.5 for me and will finally be applying a new sensor tonight, keep your fingers crossed for me as think I'll break down if anything happens with yet another! Can't say I've been all that impressed with Libre 2 so far :(

@Michael12421 oh no, hope you've gotten glucose in and are back in range, maybe a few through the night tests would be a good idea for you to do, wouldn't take much, just a few alarms set and meter right next to you

@Northerner congrats on the HS!

@Grannylorraine enjoy your holiday

@Robin take a day off and just rest in the comfy chair!
xx

Morning all, 6.7 here. I'm on catwatch today. Daughter is going to Silverstone. Her cat needed a trip to the vet yesterday, and needs to be watched carefully for a couple of days, so guess who 'volunteered' to pop over to her house and sit with it for a bit. Now the dilemma is, do I just sit in a comfy chair while I’m there, or do I do some gardening for her?

A “result“ for your daughter. She’s at Silverstone, you’re looking after her cat, AND you’re doing some gardening. All her Christmases have come early.
 
Good morning everyone 🙂
8:19am so overslept but hey ho it's the weekend - 4.6 for me so not great but ok - 16u of tresiba taken which was an hour or so later but at least I've taken it.
23:40pm - 5.8 - bedtime and had 1 bag of mini cheddars because bg was below 8mmol
 
Good morning all. Just been out for 104 minutes reasonably paced walk on the beach. A bit too hot though.

Earlier, fasting BG was 4.7

My BG seems to be consistently lower since I started to ramp up my exercise. Could be a coincidence, but I know there's a link between exercise and BG levels.
 
7.7 for me and nice and stable in the 7s all night so 6 units still working PM but the heat was too much for my 23 units Levemir yesterday morning and after a couple of minor hypos in the morning I had to feed the beast throughout the afternoon to keep in range, so I've dropped it one unit this morning. Pruning my apricot tree started the decline but I can now see the fruits ripening since I have taken off a lot of the new foliage growth and let the sun in to them. Only 13 fruits but some are absolute whoppers!
Had an absolutely lovely ride out with my sister on her wonderful horse Jack (Crackerjack) in the afternoon. I was worried about it being so desperately hot but she is over by the coast so it wasn't quite as baking as it had been inland and best of all (talking of insects @eggyg) no flies!! Can't believe the difference over there. We would have been swarmed by both clouds of pesky flies (horse and rider) and blood sucking horse flies (cleggs) at home. My horses spent most of the day in their stable out of the heat and flies. Then in the evening as the heat loving pesky flies ease a bit, the midges come out to feast.

@Northerner Many congrats on your House Special this morning Alan.

@Bloden.... can you give us phonetic pronunciation for your Welsh so that we can learn too.... although I am guessing that might be a rather onerous task! I am trying to pronounce Llongyfarchiadau but no idea if I am getting it right or, most likely, not!

@Bloden
When singing with the Male Voice Choir in Essex we had the Welsh written phonetically, so that it was easier to learn.
parham my dig tee Oh Mefanwhi. Habe ree do orth neg led dee.
Not quite right but close enough
Or slightly worse
The Welsh breakfast hymn, often sung before rugby matches. Sorry to the Welsh!
My hen laid an egg, I had it with toast

or

Again apologies!!

5.3 so close ! Formal lessons over and “fun” days next week so no work to do this weekend - I did planning in the week. So I’m sitting and enjoying car racing and a book. Too hot to do anything.
Have a good rest of the day one and all
 
Boilin' innit? Phew. 8.0 @ 7.03 this morning. 🙂
 
Evening all. A but late on parade today. Hubby had bought me away for the weekend and internet is a bit patchy. Having a lovely time though!

5.8 this morning after an overnight high (not corrected), possibly caused by dehydration/miscounting carbsb in meal out (unusual but not unheard of)/tiredness/heat*
*take your pick, it could be anything 🙄

Anyway, having a lovely time, though its so hot!!! I hope you're having a good day/weekend wherever you are.

@Northener contratulations on the HS
 
It took me a while to learn this one cos it’s so long @rebrascora! The ll is straightforward if you know how: put the tip of your tongue so it’s touching the back of your top row of teeth and blow - the air should move down the sides of your tongue and produce a sound. That’s the letter ll in Welsh. The only other challenging sound is the letter ch - it’s like the ch in loch (not like the ck in lock). Oh, and the ong is like in long, not in longer. Try to roll the r a bit too. @silentsquirrel has just reminded me about the letter f - it’s pronounced like a v.

Right, now we’re ready...llong-er-varch-ee-add-eye. Llongyfarchiadau! :D

I love the Essex Male Voice Choir versions @DuncanLord!
