Group 7-day waking average?

Evening all, cooling down a bit now thank goodness. Very noisy in the heat, mowers all day sirens all night. :D Loving the photographs of babies and scarecrows. 7.7 @ 7.16 🙂

Those shoes look very smart @merrymunky
Well done on your levels settling into single figures.

Just back from a fabulous weekend, where I saw my family for the first time since the first lockdown.
We had a picnic in the park with 19 of us, and in the five hours we were there I had time to sit in small groups. at a distance, and just chat with all of them Through the afternoon. It was glorious.

The following day we erected a scarecrow I had made for my brother’s 70th birthday.
His birthday was in January so Sullivan is dressed for winter, but he didn’t seem to complain.

He has joined Gilbert who I made 20 years ago who is looking a bit sad now.
so hoping that Sullivan will cheer him up.

That’s veeeeeery creepy. 😱
 
Morning all from another early riser. A much more pleasant 6.4 for me.

Looking like another hot day for us. We decided to nip into town yesterday, phew, it was blooming hot! We did what we had to do, including lunch, and went home. I couldn’t even sit in the shade in the garden yesterday, it was just too much. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be even hotter and I’m out today for lunch with my oldest girlfriends. I hope this restaurant has AC! Then tomorrow evening we’re out with friends, I’m melting at the prospect. Plus, and I actually can’t believe I’m saying this, I’m struggling to eat. My appetite is non existent, that has never happened before. Maybe a nice crisp glass of dry white wine may help! 😉

Enjoy your day whatever you’re up to. 🙂
 
It’s a 5.4 this morning at 06:00. The hay fever has just kicked in.
 
Morning all. Sensor shows 10.3, finger prick 8.9. Graph also shows i'm out of range most of the night. How with a bedtime reading of 5.4 and a teaspoonful of peanut butter i've no idea. Putting it down to the heat.
Last day in work today, training, and its going to be a hot one o_O !
Enjoy your day whatever you are planning, stay cool....well as cool as you can.
 
Oops! 😳 Little Miss Forgetful forgot to check yesterday & I’ve a swingy couple of days too so, a bit of a Little Miss Hopping On Toes as well!🙄

First off, I woke yesterday 20/07/21 05:07 BS 8.8 which I was ok with as the previous day was heading off hypos AGAIN, caused by the heat most probably, & not reducing NR by enough when I ate: swinging down to BS 5.5 & BS 4.3 2 hours after breakfast & lunch respectively that needed an oatcake each time & a some coke first in the case of lunch; only eating vegetable soup & Greek yoghurt, in the heat, probably didn’t help as I was totally guessing the doses! So, finally went ultra conservative with the dinner dose which left me a little high at BS 10.5 at 2 hours after & went to bed on that. Oh yes! Almost forgot! Was just after 18:00 & doing LR before bed when, really rather annoyingly, the pen was just 2 units short, which I couldn’t tell as I injected 60 first with the usual 2 airshot beforehand, pulling out the needle to dial up the second lot but, there was only 16 left: would have been enough without the airshot; BUT, invariably when I don’t do it I get a blocked needle! Couldn’t be bothered to go to the fridge for 2 units & going to bed on BS 10.5 as well was a bit of a double whammy of caution & laziness so, perfectly happy it was in the 8’s upon waking yesterday!😳🙄:D Yesterday was a less swingy day as I knew better what to bolus for Greek yoghurt for breakfast & veg soup for lunch with dinner, both days, of more substantial cottage pie the night before & fish & chips with beans last night with me going to bed on BS 10.6 after a cautious correction of 6 units of NR: another thing that made me swing a bit & nervous of correcting highs is that my correction factors are also too high; not sure how much & to save complicated maths I’m compensating by aiming for 1mmol higher, use my usual correction factor & then -2 for safety before going to bed! So, that was BS 10.6 - 6.0 which I took as 4, simple maths, x 2 = 8 - 2 & injected 6!

I woke this morning 05:37 BS 5.2! A rare House Special bonus! 😱 Yay!:D

Just finished breakfast of Greek yoghurt, again & I’ll see if I’ve nailed the NR dose today? 🙄

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

Good morning everybody 6.8 today

I’ve a appointment at the orthopaedic dept to get ankle assessed today,
hopefully I can still get the previously promised replacement in three more years time,
in the meantime hopefully another steroid injection very soon,
had two steroid injections so far,

I’m hoping for a smooth hospital visit as I’m working and going in my lunch break
ankle is still quite swollen and limited movement (osteoarthritis)
but slightly less painful with the weight loss, or maybe I’m learning to live with it ?
will see what the consultant thinks.

Have a great day everyone !
 
My BG levels seem to be a bit on the low side in this heat 4.8 this morning. The last few days have all been in the 4's.

It will be interesting to see if it creeps back up when the weather changes. If it doesn't then it may not be the heat but the increased exercise affecting it. Who knows?
 
Morning. 5.7 for me today. 2 jelly babies before bed.

Bed for me was downstairs on sofa last night, way too hot upstairs...Nice and cool down stairs.....for now...not going to last.

Off to deliver large garden sofa cushions made for a friend first thing....she lives by the beach so I think I’ll have to go for a paddle after I drop them off. Fighting to get them in their covers last night is probably why I needed the JBs.

Thunder forecast for later....yay!🙂

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all. :D 7.8 here.

Been AWOL for a few days. Went to Brum Uni with a mixed bag of family to see my niece graduate. I’m a very proud auntie. Had a hell of a car journey yesterday in the heat with my brother’s dog panting in the back - the M4 was closed for four junctions o_O so we had a stop-start tour of a very traffic-clogged Cardiff. It was HOT but Milly took it in her cute springer spaniel stride.

Keep hydrated ev1!
 
Good Morning
A 6.1 for me this morning at 06:58, the good news is that weight has started moving downwards. A pound off to 15 st 9lbs. I will add probably water in this heat but will just have to wait and see.

Just a quick question for all you Jelly Baby murderers out there. How do you eat yours? Whole or bite off their heads, a quick death or a slow nibble from the feet upwards?

Stay safe in this heat.
 
4 for me very little sleep :(
 
Just back from an early morning walk/exercise before it gets too hot. My early morning reading was 5.5. 🙂

Stay safe and cool if you can.

Dez
 
Morning all and 4.3 for me.

I'm glad I don't have a libre 2 at the moment as the alarm would be pinging all night. Sensor goes into the red as soon as my head hits the pillow but finger pricks confirm I'm above 4.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Congrats to @Lanny and @mage 1 on the HSs - great job!

@Michael12421 That's a low number - hopefully you are OK and your numbers are rising. Please look after yourself

A 5.0 for me at 06:01 this morning. Looks like another scorcher here today. I need to bob to the farm shop for some meat for a BBQ tonight. I usually walk with the baby in the pram but I think it will be too hot today so it will be either a solo yomp or a drive with the top down in the convertible 🙂
