Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all... yes it is still morning.

8.8 at 9:20 am. Had a rollicking hypo that stretched on and off from 9pm last night until 3am. Just couldn’t get bloods up for more than half an hour during that time, despite everything, including tea with sugar, toast, biscuits, Dextrose. i put insulin suspend on for 2 hours, then a 30% temp basal which over-compensated, sending me up to 11 at 07:30. The Omnipod rep had remarked during the training session that insulin absorption may be enhanced by placing the pod on the “virgin” territory of my arm. The nurse said she’d not heard of that.... I can testify that the rep was right! Ah well, now we know, but it’s ruined my time in range and flat lines.

Retinopathy check this afternoon, first since May 2019.



@Gruers so glad it went well, hope recuperation is quick.

@Kopiert CONGRATULATIONS on the HS.

@gll and @freesia hoping you seen feel better.
 
🙄10:58 BS 7.1 🙂 Happy enough with that as it’s more or less in range!🙄

The Sunny On The Inside feeling didn’t last the WHOLE day yesterday but, I enjoyed it while I had it: rather aptly until the sunshine went grey in the afternoon! 🙄:D I don’t know why the sunshine on my face made me wake HAPPY yesterday but, it does show that I CAN still wake up like that; just not in these last two years! 🙄🙂

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

After rewatching the 4 out of 5 Daniel Craig Bond films, hated Quantum of Solace, the last few days, I decided to try reading the Ian Fleming books. After some googling I discovered that Fleming only wrote 14 in total with 2 of them being collections of short stories & there have been other various authors penning them as approved by his estate: some of THEM, non Fleming books, have also been made into films! :confused:

Ian Fleming died quite young of heart failure at the age of 56 in 1964 as he was a heavy drinker & smoker for most of his life: his only son, Casper, died even younger at 22 from substance abuse; his estate, with the royalties, went to his brother Peter & his descendants!

Then, on amazon & audible discovered that all 14 of those original Fleming Bond books were all recorded by an all star cast in 2012:- Dan Stevens, Bill Nighy, Hugh Bonneville, David Tennant, Martin Jarvis, Rory Kinnear, Toby Stevens etc. & Rosamund Pike narrated The Spy Who Loved Me which is completely different from the film being told in 1st person by a female, in distress, & Bond only shows up halfway to save the day! 😎

So, I started with Casino Royale kindle book & audible companion narrated by Dan Stevens to see if I like it? :confused: I LOVED IT!😛 True the sexist attitudes are not PC today but, it was in the 50’s when it was written & as Dan Stevens said in his interview at the end, a much softer & romantic Bond than the films have portrayed him: there was none of those big action sequences at the start of the film either; I was very bored by the time it got to the airport sequence & the film, as in the book, didn’t start for me until M assigned him to the casino!🙄

I have just started rather late last night & fell asleep, NOT due to it being boring I hasten to add, the next book Live and Let Die narrated by Rory Kinnear which is actually set in Harlem New York city!

I don’t know if I’ll read all of them but, give it a go: some of them are very different from the films; baccarat was changed to poker for the film & I found the rules, of baccarat, in the book completely unknown to me & confusing; even so in main land China, where only in Macau is gambling legal & only until the SAR status remains, there was an added section in the film where the rules of poker were explained! 🙄:D

Did you know that Ian Fleming wrote the original book 'Chitty chitty bang bang' on which the film was loosely based? (And the co-writer of the screenplay was Roald Dahl).
And because of that, I’m going to have the songs from Chitty chitty bang bang stuck in my head for the rest of the day!😱

Good morning 6.2

Have a great day everybody 😎
 
Good morning all. A very nice 5.4 at 6am. Childcare day today, so an early morning. Not frosty today, which is a shame as yesterday was a beautiful day, sunny and frosty all day. Unfortunately I never left the house!

The plan today is a walk to a park to see the ducks, or quacky quack quacks as Zara calls them. Then give her her first go on a swing! In my experience they all hate that first time, but soon come round, eventually. It’s a rite of passage and has to be done.😉

Have a fab Friday and hope those who are unwell/ in hospital are at last starting to feel better. 🙂
 
Good Morning All
So after a week of being living nights I’m now back to sleeping at night and living days.
For that the body has rewarded me a 5.2 this morning. Total surprise!!!!!
Have a great day and stay safe.

Good morning everyone.

BG 5.1 this morning. Fine

No plans for today because I am self isolating. Day 4 and soooo bored, trapped, tired (!)

DuncanLord: congrats on the 5.2. My machine stops at 5.1. It's just not fair!

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
6.0 for me. Which always makes me feel like I’m an Olympic gymnast or something!

And after the Ian Fleming stuff yesterday I thought I’d post this here today.

 
A very round 5 for me today. 🙂
And congratulations to @DuncanLord on the House Special!
