Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all, 5.1 here, riding lesson this morning, hoping to channel my inner Charlotte du Jardin, not emulate the ladies of the Modern Pentathlon yesterday, riders on the floor everywhere! (except our Brave Brit who took Gold. Unfortunately her surname is French, so she has been largely ignored, as the headline 'Gold for French in Modern Pentathlon' just makes readers sigh and turn the page.

That is all sounding a lot more positive. Fingers crossed the trend for weight increase and BG reduction continues slowly and steadily

@rebrascora today 12.8 yesterday must have been a fluke don’t understand why it went down yesterday and today up again .the diabetic specialist nurse says putting weight on is more important then getting low levels . It seems strange to me for a diabetic to be told to have full fat milk , cream and lots of cheese along with puddings
 
A late morning 6 here. A lie in/recuperation from looking after five grandchildren yesterday! Like @Maca44, today I’m doing what I damn well like! 😉 TBF I do have a pile of ironing which really needs done and I need to visit our great niece with her card and present for her birthday. Ah well, maybe tomorrow!:confused:

Have a great day whatever you have to do! 🙂

Belated congrats for yesterday to @MeeTooTeeTwo and @mum2westiesGill for their HSs.
@Gwynn fingers crossed for a good day for you and your wife.
@Robin enjoy channeling your inner Charlotte du Jardin, I’ll just stick to going in the jardin today I think!
@Michael12421 phew! I couldn’t cope with that heat,😛 lying down on the Axminster just doesn’t quite do the trick!
 
My its windy out there. A very good work out just walking on the beach. 110 minutes. Phew. A little damp. Thankfully it didn't pour down, just spattered a little. Good for walking. I don't find it easy when its hot.

Today will be a very good day. I am determined that it will.

Cooking a nice tea for us today too. Chicken, millions of mushrooms and bacon.

Talking of unhomogenised milk. Sainsburys do their own brand as a full fat jersey milk. I tried some in my cofee. Nice. I will swap from the bland skimmed rubbish I have been using. Its more calories but way less carbs, if I have read the label correctly.
 
3.9 for me this morning which is bottom of my range but I'm OK with that, firstly because Libre almost always reads lower than finger prick BG (if I could be bothered), secondly graph shows it was a slow steady descent to that point, so had only just dropped sub 4 and finally, good old FOTF brought my levels up to 4.8 10 mins later without any need for hypo treatment. Impressive that FOTF is faster than oral glucose, but then maybe not so surprising.

Oh, that is a bit disappointing but maybe this morning is a glitch.
There is no problem with full fat products for diabetics. Carbohydrates are what we have difficulty processing but higher fat foods like cream and cheese and whole milk have less carbs and are great for adding calories. I have double cream in my coffee every morning and I eat lots of cheese and I always buy whole milk and full fat versions of food and eat fatty meat like lamb chops and belly pork. Puddings are less of a good idea because almost all puddings are high carbohydrate containing lots of flour and sugar and that will push his BG levels higher, so my advice would be to go steady on the puddings but by all means use cream and cheese and nuts or peanut butter and a fried breakfast or eggs will all help to put weight on him but not raise his BG levels. Eggs are really a great food for that and so versatile.
 
Good morning Saturday 5.3 @ 9:10
I might try another finger in a minute and see if that finger can produce a House Special o_O

Hope everybody gets to have a Great Weekend !
 
Good Morning All
A 5.6 for me on waking at 07:00.
Puzzled with result after Dinner last night, as at 17:15 I was 7.6. Had my one unit and then Dinner of chicken portion, Jacket potato (200g) mixed veg gravy A fresh medium Apple cup of coffee and a pint of orange cordial. 86 carbs and 642 cal.
2 hours later BG was 6.2. ??????
Perhaps my pancreas had a sudden thought that loads of insulin had to be added??
BG then stayed at about 5.8 all evening then this morning the 5.6.

Had a result with PC World yesterday. TV which was 7 years old went wrong last week. Would not give a picture. I still had the £3.00 a month insurance going out ( which I thought about cancelling when diabetes hit in April). Shop took telly in for repair but couldn’t get parts. So they gave me a voucher for a new one. I’m now the proud owner of a 55 inch smart TV which gives a 4K picture. And still have £75 to spend on my voucher.
OK suppose I paid towards the telly over the last 7 years but would I have saved that to buy new one. Probably not.
Have a great day and weekend.
 
Oh dear! Took me ages to connect my wifi this morning & I have to move into the hall as my wifi extender is not working in my bedroom: have to investigate further later! :(

Anyway, 09:11 BS 7.8 🙂 Little Miss Burnt-out by the Olympics is reporting in late thismorning after a lie in!🙄

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

So, what happened at the Olympics on Day 14? First off I was a bit frustrated at the start knowing the pentathlon event had started but, trawling through all of the footage of the overnight streams & the live morning streams there was no coverage of any of the fencing or swimming. :(

It wasn’t until around 9am, approaching the early evening 5pm local time, did coverage come up on the red button of almost all the show jumping with a short round up of what happened to the two GB ladies during the fencing & swimming. Live coverage started in the middle of the Brazilian rider being eliminated by her horse that she couldn’t control well enough! Rather ominous start as some nervous rides happened over the next 90 minutes or so with five being eliminated by their horses & some lucky rides where the riders made the mistakes & their horses actually helped them get through: the nice forgiving horses; a few just didn’t trust their riders after a mistake & just refused! It seems that quite a few were mistiming their lean forwards in the saddle & it was funny to hear Heather Fell the commentator, EXCELLENT by the way as I know next to nothing about anything equestrian, speaking up for the horses saying things like “the horse is saying “No! I’m not jumping that! You’ve got to work with me: not go ahead of me” as that causes the horse to come down early with its back legs onto the poles; indeed that’s what happened to quite a few riders especially, with the combination triple jumps! Learnt something new from the horse’s perspective! AND then, right at the end, reverse order of the competition’s standings going into the round, the German who was leading by a lot got into serious bother with her horse Saint Boy before the clock even started having already eliminated his previous rider! Saint Boy was having none of it & the poor German was eliminated in floods of tears when she’d trained so hard, did brilliantly in the fencing & swimming to have a big lead only to be crashed out by Saint Boy! AWW! A total of 6 riders eliminated by their horses! 😱

Then, the red button switched to something else so, I switched back to BBC 1 where the whole thing was recapped in shorter highlights before the live last event started of the laser run: combined running with 4 stops to shoot before running again. I watched GB’s Kate French, who had a clean ride earlier just being a bit slow & had 6 points off the max being over the time, starting 15 seconds in 5th place overtake the lead quite early & held onto it to cross the line by quite a big margin to win the gold! :D😛😎

By the way @SB2015 you weren’t far wrong about horse whispering in Japanese because Nick Hope, commentator, said that Kate prepares by trying to learn a few local phrases to help calm down & gain the confidence of her horse: she learnt Spanish phrases in Rio 2016; learnt Japanese phrases for Tokyo 2020! 😎

Feel free to correct me @Robin @rebrascora or anyone with better equestrian knowledge than me! I learnt new things about show jumping from the horse’s perspective because of Heather Fell’s commentary but, by no means an expert! 🙂

The mens pentathlon is today, Day 15, & hopefully I can get to see a bit more of it? But, GB have a better record of medalists in the ladies event than the mens who have yet to medal: the ladies have 2 golds, 2 silvers & 2 bronzes; at least 1 podium finish in every games since the inaugural event, Sydney 2000, except Rio 2016 where Kate French was 5th! :D😎😉

Finally , I watched the Sport Climbing ladies final! But, a little bit disappointed that nobody reached the top of the lead wall but, the one that got closest DID actually win gold with the whacky, hard to calculate for viewers, commentators & competitors alike! If Sport Climbing is to continue in the Olympics the scoring system needs to be changed to something less unwieldy! Apparently it was the top requested sport to watch across the BBC website, red button & iPlayer & it’s a Big Hit at these games: I was certainly unexpectedly engaged! 😛😎:D😉
 
Well my RM delivery is apparently due today, went all the way back to Edinburgh (128ish miles from where it was) and then all the way back to here (88 miles) when it was only 40 miles up the road, unbelievable! xx

Thankyou i try me not to give him sugary puddings but when he goes to daycare they give him Bakewell tart or something like that and a cake in afternoon even tho they know hes diabetic cos he takes his insulin with him. I give him creamy yogurt and fruit and am going to try make an ice cream milk shake .
ive started giving him cashew nuts we do have omelette with lots of cheese
yesterday a typical eating day was breakfast cereals with whole milk dinner 2 sausages with half a bake potatoes with cheese and veg then raspberries and 2 spoons of Greek yogurt tea a cheese and cucumber sandwich on brown bread and a banana a hand full of cashew for supper

I did like the climbing, but worked out how to do speed climb.
have the rope on a high speed winch and then hopefully touch the holds as being hoisted up the wall. It would be a cross between Strictly and Olympics. AND the only way to get up that thing!!!
 
And now the men’s Modern Pentathlon have also won individual gold.
Next the team event. GB have been at the top of this event for so many years.
 
I am having a strange day. Woke to a 9.1 - too high for me.
No breakfast thank goodness, how anyone can eat in the morning unless absolutely necessry is beyond me.
Went for a long walk with Missy and at noon tested - 19.6!
Injected 10 units of NR and waited for 2 and a half hours and tested again - 13.6!
Long walk with Missy again, tested and was 16.3!
Looks like no chance of dinner this evening, well I am not in the least bit hungry.

I love the Modern Pentathlon showjumping. The 'proper' show jumping, they’re all so perfect they make it look easy, but the riders in the MP are all struggling with the things that daughter and I struggle with in lessons, as and as you say, it’s fascinating having an expert commentary telling you what they’re doing wrong.

Could it be the heat thats affecting you?
 
That did pass my mind but I have been here 16 years and have rarely, if ever, experienced such high readings during the summer. I have eaten nothing all day. What also has passed my mind is whether or not the NR is working correctly. It is kept in the 'fridge so would not have been affected by the heat - only 32 at present. A test a few moments ago shows 11.2. I may stay up another 2 hours and test again and then decide if I need to eat - or just go to bed.
