Group 7-day waking average?

6.6 this morning even after two mince pies last night.
Off to the British Museum later for a preview of their new Peru exhibition.

Have to say it’s not a museum I’m particularly fond of but this exhibition has some great buzz about it and it’s taken something like 30 years to put together so I’m hopeful it’ll be rather good.

Friday evening at the folks I almost told them what’s been going on. I mentioned I was volunteering for a charity and a little later they asked what charity it was and what they did. I said it was a tiny charity I’ve a lot of respect for called SurvivorsUK and they help men deal with violence but didn’t elaborate. Came very close to telling them everything but it just didn’t feel right.
Brother and S-i-L were there and are aware and afterwards Ian checked to make sure I was ok.
I’m thinking I might head over Thursday evening after work and tell them.

@eggyg yes he was, I believe he came second to Shane Ward, the same year that Chicco was on, hmm the less said about him the better though he’s made a career out of it. I remember voting for Andy and bought his first album, he was very good and went down a storm. X

Barbara. I found that when I returned my Humulin M3 pens after I had been changed onto Basal /Bolus regimen. Seemed a waste as they had been kept in the fridge but should they trust my fridge. Probably not! It’s drugs after all.
i decided to let the chemists destroy the pens as it seemed safer than me dumping them. I was concerned that someone may get hold of insulin with catastrophic results.

Under normal circumstances the IDDT (Independent Diabetes Trust) will accept in-date insulin for sending out to third world countries. I have sent several lots to them. However this is suspended during the pandemic, but may be worth remembering for the future.

6.9 this morning. We went into town yesterday to eat in a particular pub, only to discover that it was closed for annual staff holidays.. every other cafe/restaurant was closed for the same reason apparently. This is Cornwall, half term is over, tourists have all gone home and evidently businesses are having a break leading up to a busy December. In the end found a restaurant we'd normally not go to as it's overly expensive for lunch. It advertised "fish and chips £12" on the menu displayed in a glass case outside. We asked for fish and chips "Oh, we don't do those any more and the burgers are sold out"... "OK we'll each have a ciabatta sandwich". "The ciabatta sandwiches are being served on toasted sliced white bread!!!!" I ended up with Risotto, hubby with seafood pasta... both overpriced and risotto did my BGs no good at all for the rest of the day...

@Gwynn hope things look up for your birthday.

@Bexlee Hope you feel better soon.

@Kaylz fingers crossed your back improves quickly.
 
Morning All
A very late start for today. Due to trying to increase BG levels for basal and bed.
All day yesterday in the 5’s and 6’s. Great
Then 23:30. 4.4
To low to have Lantus so 3 cream crackers should come up to 7 ish.
00:00 5.2. It’s on way up. Don’t need more or it will spike
00:30. 5.5. It’s not going to move
Slice of toast
01:15 10.5. Ohhhh too far up
Lantus Cholesterol tablet. Bed.
woke this morning at 09:00. 5.8.
it could have been 0.6 lower for the effort put in.
perhaps I should consider an earlier bedtime. That hasn’t happened in 50 years don’t think it will happen now.
Have a great day.
 
Little Miss Lazy Easy Sunday Lie In reporting in very late this afternoon with 12:32 BS 9.2 😳 That’ll be because LR is 2.5 hours late, then! I was VERY annoyed by the 10am alarm & went back to sleep & was rather shocked to find it was 2.5 hours later when I’d ONLY meant to have maybe 30 minutes more kip!😱

But, LR in, & it REALLY is the old routine of everything at lunchtime again, & DP busted with a guessed 12 NR for a quarter oatcake: found in these recent days that less NR for a smaller bit of oatcake works too! But, needed just a bit more at 14? as it only held me steady instead of bring me down a bit more like I wanted 14:15 BS 9.1. Just cooked breakfast & dished up ramen noodles with pork gyozas, Japanese meat dumpling, so, it only remains for me to……

A Very G’day Mates to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

I’m diving in! Slurp, slurp, slurp! 😛
 
A much better day today - thankfully a nice 5.9 on waking up a little bit late and only just still morning !

Now a stupid question. How do you do the other symbols for care etc on here ? I only seem to be able to do like !

Glad you're feeling better @Bexlee. If you hover over or press and hold "like" they show up
 
Morning, a higher 10.4 for me. An odd thing happened a couple of times in the night. I had my regular 3.30am high alarm go off, scanned and it was 13.6 with a fast upward trend. I lay with my arms out of bed trying to wake up enough to get up and test. After 5 mins or so, i was ready, scanned again and it was 10! So i went back to sleep. 2 hrs later, the same thing happened. Hopefully its because of the last 12 hours of its life. I haven't had an overnight high for a week.

Back to work today. I seem to be getting there earlier and earlier to get things done and still not catching up. I'm there for 7.50am, but don't get paid until from 9am. Feeling very disgruntled.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning everyone.

BG 4.8 this morning. Definitely stuck in the 4's.

Felt a bit down when I got up, thinking about the future and its increasing emptiness as my wife becomes progressively more ill. Feel a bit better now because my health readings this morning are all ok. A small thing and yet very very important. A real blessing 'being well'.

I would like to go out for a walk on the beach later on but it looks cold out there. I am not keen on walking in the cold. My sister, on the other hand, loves being out in the cold. Sigh, not seen her for years because my wife cannot cope with anyone in the house. Sigh.

I think today may be a day of reflection
 
Good morning 7.1
so starting today I’m making extra effort on regular testing
I’ve been slipping Into some bad habits on eating some things I shouldn’t

weighed myself yesterday and not surprisingly put 5KG back on over the last few weeks

I can see without a tight control the diabetes could try and take me back over
I’m not going to let it I’m in control.

off to work with a early finish as eye appointment hospital this afternoon.

have a great day everybody
 
20.1:(
Checked needles used on Sunday, and Novapen, both indicate missed BI Sunday pm. So there is a reason🙂
Treatment consisted of adjustment and early breakfast. Not great preparation for BP check later today.
I was distracted Sunday night by new Libre sensor not giving correct radings, but now much closer to blood test.
 
Pre bed reading yesterday 6.2
Waking reading today 6.3

I’d prefer them both to be in the 5s but I’ll take low 6s if that’s what’s on offer.

@Gwynn hopefully today isn’t a bad day for you and the reflection gives you strength.
 
Absolutely Goodybags I keep a very close eye on my weight every day. It is so easy for it to go south, so to speak. It is also so easy and so human to eat things that don't help or/and nibble things that cumulatively raise those calories, carbs, and ultimately, body weight.

I had a bad day yesterday. Made some flapjack. I am addicted to it so I should not have made any! Of course I ate too much of it which I should not have. Sigh. Thankfully no real harm done and I can set a plan (if needed) to recover any lost ground weight wise. Hmm, I might actually be human after all. 🙂

Good luck with your own recovery plan.
