Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning, a higher 9.9 for me and graph shows despite being well in target at bedtime, by midnight i'd gone up to the low 10s and hovered just outside target all night :( .
Is it Friday yet? Very tired. Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning bit of a shockingly high score on waking today 9.8 😱😱
but not really surprised I know what I ate yesterday that I shouldn’t have

I’m under a bit of stress, and hit the comfort food yesterday
weight is creeping up slightly, so I know I need to take back control
 
Restless night last night which is reflected in my 6.8 this morning.

Knee playing up a little but determined to get out today and walk if not jog a little.
 
Morning all 7.5 today. Meeting up with a few old colleagues from work for lunch which should be nice. Finished work for the week thank goodness, first week back at normal hours since end of July and I haven’t enjoyed it at all.
Enjoy your day all x
 
6.8 today. Bedtime last night it was a kfc-induced 10.2.......

Good morning everyone. It's a 4.9 on the BG meter this morning.

We had a mix and match pizza last night. Well, a small portion of one. A Marks and Spencer cheese and tomato pizza base to which I added some more tomatoes, cheese and some mushrooms. Really nice too. For once I didn't burn the 5hing to a crisp!!! 🙂

Nothing planned for today. Day 5 of my self isolation. Which of course means its about 5 more days (ish) before my eye operation.

I can't decide whether I am calm, not bothered, worried, frightened, eager, nervous, terrified, concerned, scared, happy even. I seem to go through all the emotions all the time. How daft is that?
 
Day 2 of my low carb diet but no improvement to my BS reading this morning. 8.6. I had a funny turn on the golf course yesterday and had to come off the course. Very heavy laboured breathing pushing a trolley and golf clubs. Much better later that afternoon and today. Have a nice day everyone
 
Morning all. Take your pick today. 7.7 on the Libre or 5.9 on the metre at 7am. I, or should I say we, were rudely awakened at 2.25 by the low BG alarm. 3.7! I felt fine, apart from being totally disoriented, nipped to the loo, checked again 4.4.( my metre was downstairs so couldn’t check). Didn’t do anything about it as the thought of eating jelly babies at that hour just doesn’t do anything for me. But on the graph there’s absolutely no sign of a low at 2.25am. It was only new on yesterday so maybe just bedding in. Who knows! I’m glad I didn’t stuff my face with the JBs now.

Up, showered, dressed and breakfasted already. No, I haven’t got myself a job, the British Gas engineer is coming to service the boiler. Anytime between 8-1. What’s to bet he comes at 12.55.
I need to be ready anyways as I have an osteopath appointment at 10.20. Had a short, flat walk yesterday. 2.5 miles. Hip niggling, down into the front of my thigh and then round into my lower back/pelvis area. So I bit the bullet and called them, I firstly could get in next Wednesday, then they called me back later, they’d had a cancellation for this morning. My favourite osteopath has retired, I was very disappointed, how dare he! Fingers crossed this guy is a miracle worker too. I may be a bit stiff tomorrow. I’m going to get him to sort my neck and shoulders out too. I used to get acupuncture but not all the practitioners do it.

If you haven’t fell asleep after all that, well done and have a great day, and thanks for listening! :D

I’ve added two photos of my Libre graph and history. Any thoughts oh wise ones?

Morning

9.0 for me xx
 
8.9 this morning. Must adjust basals overnight, been a bit lazy about it due to lots going on. Have been asked by my GPs surgery to be a guinea pig for getting access to my medical records and test results online. Quite excited as I have been banging on about this for months via the PPG. It seems they have done a dramatic turnaround in their attitude.

Good luck with the DVLA @DuncanLord

@eggyg my chiropractor does acupuncture and I swear by him for curing leg pain due to a twisted pelvis. So good luck with the new Osteo.
 
08:21 BS 7.0

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

Nothing much going on except that tesco shopping is coming today 11:00 to 12:00 with a whole pile of delicious food for my 50th Birthday on the 28th: compromised a bit & went couple of days later in the week so, the cake isn’t opened & sitting around TOO long; coinciding nicely with the start FINALLY of the finest Christmas party food so, ordered a whole pile of them too among them my favourite gyozas dumplings! 😛😛😛 It’s going to be indulgent food this early 50th Birthday weekend!:D😉😛😛😛 Let’s just hope I get the dumplings at least as tesco finest, Sunshine Gyozas this year, are better than the frozen Itsu dumplings I usually get: it’s been a few Christmases now since it first came out & they’ve become VERY popular; last year despite ordering them every week since they came out I didn’t get a SINGLE pack & it was GUTTING! Fingers crossed emoji! Tesco only do them at Christmas & they’ve been a bit different every year: this year they’re in 3 different colours of red, green & yellow but, that’s a bit gimmicky & all I CARE about is the taste of them!🙄

Oh dear! 😳 Hadn’t quite realised HOW much I’m drooling & just hope I’m not setting myself up for a big disappointment if I don’t get them? Pleading emoji!
 
5.8 for me this am. 🙂

Nope. Mystified! If the scan of 3.7 had happened soon after the dip on your graph, say, round about 1am, I’d have said that the Libre algorithm was assuming you’d carry on dropping. It sometimes gets it wrong and then when the sensor takes the next actual reading, it corrects itself and the low never appears on the graph. But the low reading was a couple of hours after, when the graph was showing a more steady line. So no, haven't a clue why it would signal the low then, about an hour after it should have predicted it happening.
 
6.6 this cold, cold morning. No plans today but I was busy yesterday, so might actually get some wrapping up done today. Think I'll put the pork loin chops in the slow cooker, kind of feels as if someone else has cooked my dinner (oh I wish....)
Have a good day all, keep warm, keep safe.
