Group 7-day waking average?

Just got home.

Daughter had a really good appointment, she felt heard! The guy said to her that she's the first patient that has made sense all day with solid explainable reasons behind the mental health struggles.
She was put on new anti anxiety and depression meds which should also help with her mild ocd.
The last lot she was on made it so she couldn't take gabapentin but these ones, its only her dihydrocodeine (night-time pain meds) that will be effected and that's only if she needs to drive at night (she can't drive anyway). She has a face to face with gp next week I think it is about meds so we can talk about getting those going again as they did help overall.
He is seeing her again next week but has already said if she feels he isn't helping he can send her to pain clinic MH team. 🙂

We had time to kill so got a coffee in town with her, did some shopping and handed in her script which I will get tomorrow when I'm in for bloods. She's away to her room to decompress and relax a bit and I'm going to do the same 🙂
 
6.2 this morning did end up doing something a little bit risky last night.
 
G'day all, glorious here in sunny Sale so have been doing a bit of pot weeding. BG has been up and down, can never get enough blood out. 7.9 this morning.
 
Good morning everyone. First up.

Yesterday was much quieter with my wife, back to her usual routines of hiding away when I go out exercising, taping up food packets and bottles, communicating quite poorly, etc, but at least she was calm and reasonably settled.

BG this morning 4.9 excellent.

Nothing much planned for today. I might update my App to include energy tracking and costs.

Talking of which, it had never occurred to me that the little USB power blocks continuously draw some power even when not charging. Not a lot, but some, so they will now get unplugged or switched out when not needed.

I also discovered that the shower does not use much power at all (I thought that it would). The washing machine is very efficient, so too the Ninja foodi. The fridge is a constant but reasonably small power drain. I think the biggest cost is probably the central heating (no surprise there). What was surprising was the electric blanket uses more power than I expected. We only put it on for a couple of hours before bed time. We may look to reducing that time to minutes only.

Have a great day today whatever you get up to.
 
Good morning 5.6 today

have a great day everybody 😎
 
05:04 BS 7.4 🙂

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

Had a walk around the outside of the house yesterday: 2 circuits; the 2nd one was HARD but, slowed right down to barely a crawl & managed with much huffing & puffing! DEAD tired afterwards but, pleased with myself! :D I CAN do it by slowing down!🙄:D😉 My heart rate has kept going down bit by for the last few days by about 6 or 7 beats a minute: thought it might have been a fluke, at first; a definite trend now & gone from 84 to 78 average & lowest was 74!😛 It makes a noticeable difference!🙂
 
Good morning - 3.6.

It’s annoying because the Libre 2 will tell me I’ve gone low but a finger prick will say I’m fine but then a bit later I’m actually hypo and the Libre hasn’t alarmed again
 
Morning all. 5.6.

Had a good day yesterday. Full line of washing out, a ( slow) walk to Aldi, it’s only two miles, and a bit of gardening! Still coughing but I don’t feel it’s coming from my chest anymore. I also made, ate and enjoyed a cottage pie. Not exactly warm weather food but it was just what I fancied after almost a week of not knowing what I wanted to eat. 🙂

Hair appointment at 10, cut and colour for me, Mr Eggy will get his scalping whilst I “cook”, then a bit of lunch in town and some shopping. Eldest daughter and hubby ( The Farmers) have birthdays within five days of each other next week. They’re busy lambing at the minute and don’t have a lot of time for anything, so won’t be celebrating as such. So to that end, we’re going to buy them some nice food and drink to have when they can fit it in. I’ve already bought daughter some nice smellies to use when she gets time to relax. SIL is getting thermal welly socks! :rofl:

Hope it’s a good day for everyone. 🙂
 
Morning all.
4.8 at 2.30am
4.6 at 4.30am
5.2 at 6am, JB induced though its dropping again now. Could be one of those days 🙄 .
Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all. :D 7.4 here.

Another sunny day - yesterday was a scorcher (for about an hour around 3 o’clock). I’ve been trying to book a nice restaurant for Sat lunch - hubby’s going to be away for our anniversary, so we thought we’d have a pre-anniversary celebration. Good grief! I give up...when I phone, they don’t pick up, then I phone again 5 minutes later and they’re engaged. 😳 Same goes with hairdressers around here - I look like Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men, not a good look on a woman in her 50s. I know what’s going to happen - a run-in with the clippers, then fish n chips on the sea front.😎😛:confused:
 
Good morning! 5'7 yesterday and 5'3 today.

I have a Novopen at home and asked the nurse to change my prescription from disposable pens to cartridges. I was on my last Levemir pen, which should last me a couple weeks but I didn't have spares, I think I should order earlier but was waiting for the prescription to get changed because I didn't want to have 10 more pens now that I can use the refillable one. I got a text saying that my prescription was ready to collect : they gave me the 10 disposable pens of Levemir lol. I also got cartridges, yes...2 boxes of Novorapid, which I am still not using and already have 5 pens unopened in the fridge. Tomorrow in my appointment I'm going to ask what to do about this.
 
Morning folks, 7.4 here and a lovely warm day in sunny Sussex. May go for a wander today as hubby has got my car, he still hasn’t managed to finish his, he mends one thing and another springs a leak!!
Think we have holiday sorted but have to pay for my grandson who can’t come, complicated but I can’t be bothered fighting with them anymore.
@Bexlee hope you are having a better few days, hugs to you xx
@ColinUK congrats on surpassing your target xx
Have a good day all
 
I just had a complete fluke with Wordle. I got nothing on the first row, then guessed the correct answer on the next row, because it was a word I often choose as a second guess if I get nothing on the opener!
 
11.7 I was might be check on it later in the night because u corrected a 12 before bed but realised I given myself more so ate but yes,I still finding evens a bit wired) although the bit. I'm wonder how how and for how long does it and how often does it need to be even if it's just sometimes to have risk of commerce complapications later(this is my anuxty mind somthingvi reas in the think like a pancus book my mind has made me worry instead of helping)
