Group 7-day waking average?

7.2 this morning. It is absolutely bucketing here and has been for hours, I actually love the sound of it on the caravan roof. Back home today, and then into get ready for work mode which will include blow drying my hair which I hate doing but I’ve looked like the local rag and bone man for months now so best make an effort.
@Michael12421 good to hear things are progressing at home, hope you are well x
Have a good day all and stay dry and warm.
 
Morning all, 5.6 here after a two unit correction at bedtime. Made a plum tart tatin yesterday with some plums that were never going to ripen properly, and I can never bolus correctly for puff pastry. (mainly because I always have a second helping and forget to whack in some more bolus for it).
NB The pastry came out of a packet, life’s too short to make your own puff. I do make choux, though @Gwynn , always following my trusty Delia Smith recipe, and it’s never let me down. Sounds like the air got knocked out of your paste at some point during the making process.
 
Hello everyone 🙂

Clocking in with a not so pretty 9.0 :( It’s safe to say that the Halloween buffet defeated me but I enjoyed it anyways so I’m not too sad about it. Breakfast will just have to wait😛

Flu jab was successful, didn’t feel a thing, although I appear to be very good at expressing fear even with a face mask on 😳 (general anxiety, rather than a phobia of needles)

Hoping everyone has a good day :D
 
I have to get to the church on foot in about an hours time and it is bucketing it down. Not keen on getting soaked and sitting cold and wet when I get there. Considering giving it a miss. I don't want to get ill and muck up my eye operation even if it is a month away.

You never know it might actually stop raining .... hmmmm 😡

Dez, don't you also have the clock on your BG meter to change? Probably less critical for you than those of us on insulin and needing it for driving but if it's not right when you claim your next HS it will cause a stewards enquiry😉.

Yes indeed I had to. Had to dig out the manual to find out how.🙄
After faffing about I finally got a 5.6.
EDIT:
Forgot to add
Month Average 5.2
7 Day Average 5.3

7.7 this morning. Weather front came through about 5ish and the rain only just now seems to have petered out, although tremendous winds here on the South coast about 60mph at the moment. No cartoon today - nothing suitable for our delicate tastes on here!
 
Morning

9.7 for me

@Telemóveis I wouldn't pin it on the buffet at the moment, you go on to mention you've had your flu jab and many find that has an impact on levels so I suggest it's a good excuse to test another buffet out at some point 😉

So guys, Bruce FINALLY got his anniversary present yesterday lol thanks to the company Give Personalised Gifts who managed to produce it and get it to his in 4 days while Little Gifts With Love couldn't achieve that in over a month and their customer service was appalling xx
 
6.6
 
6.5 this morning. Pretty good after indulging in a take away with mum last night.

Funeral was on Friday. But glum since, and tired. Think the adrenaline has simply run out and time to face the new normal. Had a few days off checking my blood sugars except for waking reading. Need to get back on top of it soon.
 
08:41, I remembered to change the meter time first, BS 9.0 LR & pills in at over 1.5 hours late! 😳 Ah, well! But, it’s in!

I forgot to say that yesterday very early morning, on a trip to the little girl’s room, that I didn’t remember taking my pills on Friday!😱 So, had a quick count of my pills & I had indeed completely forgotten to take them so, what do I do with the next lot coming up with LR at 07:00: do I just accept that day as lost & pill-less; “NO!”, says I & worked out from the time, 03:30, that my next day will be longer 27.5 hours instead of 24 & divide it by 2 equals 13.75 or 13 hours & 45 minutes! So, gulped my pills down before going back to bed having worked out I’d take my pills again at 17:15 which, I duly did!o_O

But, that made me think when I was going to bed last night that my pills, these days, have tended NOT to be taken with LR when the alarm goes off as I went back to bed afterwards then, took them when I got up properly but, I forgot to do that on Friday! 😳 So, I’d better start cultivating a new routine of preparing all my pills at bedtime in a little Victorian style round metal sweets box that I use to travel with my pills when going out back when everything was taken at lunchtime with just one LR dose & hospital appointment’s were in the mornings! So, last night I rummaged around my bedside drawer for that little pill box, haven’t used it in AGES since LR became 2 doses & put my pills in ready to guzzled quickly along with my LR & I can go back to sleep, or not!🙄

So much for THAT! I went to bed later last night & I overslept my alarm this morning despite the extra hour by the clocks change! 😳 BUT, there was a huge fireworks party in the feild down a bit from me opposite the main road in the Glebeside area of Ballymoney that, as yet, isn’t built with houses & the Glebe uses it as a common meadow! I kept hearing the loud bangs quite late into the night & watchedBrian Cox’s new series Universe, on iPlayer, through it & it was past 01:00 before I went to bed after the fireworks had stopped!😱 I highly recommend Brian Cox’s new series, by the way & I had to review quite a bit of old knowledge that’s been superseded by new knowledge because of the advances in this new age of space exploration since this new century began!o_O I still remembered all of the stuff I’d already learnt in the mid 80’s to mid 90’s & spent the whole 5 episodes just noticing that’s new, that’s changed & realised how many space exploration missions I’ve missed these last 2 decades!😱

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

Really enjoyed last night’s Strictly & Rose was deservedly awarded the full 40 & Giovanni is once more at the top of the leaderboard as The King of Halloween! 😛😎:D

In this country, UK, Halloween & Bonfire Night being so close together has always meant a prolonged fireworks season, as it were: I used to save up all my pocket money for sparklers & the like as a child for the half term break at Halloween & Bonfire night; the bangs etc. will carry on now until 5th November & it had already started earlier this week! 🙄

6.1 this morning.

Did my 5km Park Run yesterday in the pouring rain (my running shoes are still drying) in a.m. not entirely unrespectable 40:34 finishing in 166th overall and 8th for my age group.

I think we only had about 180 runners yesterday and barely anyone over the age of about 30 hence my top ten for my age lol

Out for lunch yesterday with the folks and a couple of their oldest friends who I’ve not seen in two years. First time I’ve been to their “new” house. They’ve lived there for 10 years but usually see them at my folks.
I say “new” because it’s a converted 15thC chapel and it’s stunning. There’s a cedar of Lebanon in the garden which is clearly over 400 years old.
Had a pub lunch (I opted for mushrooms with a sort of Melba toast on the side, followed by sea bass on a bed of peppers and onions with a few grains and some tiny new potatoes. No pudding).

Trying to wish the rain away today and figure out where to go for gait analysis and potentially new, hopefully water resistant, trail running shoes.

@rebrascora Does that need a stewards enquiry?

Morning All
A 6.4 this morning, although it could be a 6.8.
had to do 2 readings on my new meter to get the Bluetooth to connect properly.
And changed, set time, to GMT. Hope everyone has remembered that meter clock needs adjusting! Well if you haven’t it will be right again in 6 months!
Have a great day!
 
Morning all. 5.1 for me this morning.
@eggyg, sounds like you had a great party. Loving the outfits!!
@ColinUK well on on the park run!
@Lanny, i'm enjoying Strictly this year. I think it might be a close final, there are so many good dancers.
Have a good day everyone. Try and stay dry!
