Group 7-day waking average?

Afternoon all - another hot one with a translucent blue sky overhead.

6.8, but that was an hour after waking as my sensor ran out at 2am and I didn't activate the new one until I woke even though I applied it yesterday.

Had a super time yesterday at the Gin and Jazz. 8 hours passed in a flash, with good food, good company and a fab atmosphere. Decided on a lazy day today....

Congrats @Gwynn on the HS.
@gll and @Lucyr enjoy your lunch.
 
Thanks all, enjoyed our lunch. It’s so hot in Scotland though! Bit on the low side for driving so just bumping up the levels with an ice cream before continuing the drive. Also saw a libre in the wild.

You sneaked off for ice cream? 😱 actually probably better we were away because it could have gone badly :rofl:
Was lovely to sit and chill out face to face vs over messenger 🙂
Home and finally cooling off :D
 
After a bad night, this flat really retains the heat (over insulated), woke to a pleasing 5.7. Other stats were 115/67 (although 137/65 when I transferred out of bed), 54, BPM and 100% O2. Didn't do temperature as I felt really hot. Maybe DF has gone north to cool off!
 
Good morning sunshine Sunday 7.1 for me today

congrats on the HS @Gwynn
another lazy Sunday for me (a good excuse to try and keep weight off foot ulcer anyway) it’s still not 100% healed up quite frightening really - lesson learnt (on foot care)

Grand Prix on TV this afternoon, I’m thinking it probably won’t be as exciting as last Sunday

have a great day everybody 😎

Thinking it was even more exciting. Happy to see Mick Schumacher get his best ever finish after all the pressure the family name brings.

Was 4.x and sister had digested lunch enough to fit in an ice cream by then :rofl:, seemed to raise bg quickly but dropped back to 4.2 not long after. Perhaps meeting up cured my diabetes?:rofl:

(just to be clear I would never mess with anyone's food, I am 100% kidding)

Maybe DF has gone north to cool off!

Poor you @MikeyBikey. You’d think all that insulation’d keep the heat out in summer.
 
Good morning everyone. Dark at 4am this morning.

BG 5.1 another tease.
BP 115/74 excellent
Pulse 60 bob on

BP and pulse seem to have corrected themselves since I started taking potassium and magnesium supplements. I was getting a bit concerned of my pulse being mostly in the low 50's and dropping to the mid 40's...and so was the doctor). I seem to have more energy too.

I managed to get out for 2 walks yesterday, chasing off the tail end of this cold virus. 167 minutes. Felt better for it too. The beach was pretty much packed.

Blood tests have been booked for the end of this month, trying to avoid the virus affecting the results. Not quite sure what to expect regarding HbA1c. I think it may be slightly raised.

Is it possible to become 'not diabetic', and if so how and how would you prove it. Or am I stuck with the diagnosis for life? Not that I am complaining. I have a much better way of living now and understand so much more than I did.

Plans for today, er, none, bar exercise.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
Yikes @Michael12421 that is very low. I seem to recall you being very low before. I hope you get it sorted quickly. As I have said before type 1's do seem to have a tough time of it.
 
Morning all. 12.0 for me. Its going to be very hot in the classroom today!!
@Michael12421 get those fast acting carbs down you quickly.
@Gwynn as i undedstand it, you can only put it into remission, though i may be wrong.
Have a good day everybody. Stay cool!
 
Good morning - 5.1
 
Morning everyone. 6.9. Looking like another gorgeous day.

Wasn’t supposed to be up so early, Zara won’t be arriving until 10.30ish today. Mummy and Daddy are going to North Wales somewhere for a couple of nights. They are, at last, using a wedding present they were given way back in December 2019! It’s some adrenaline junkie thing, like zip wiring underground in a cave. I’ve probably got that wrong, but it’s on those lines. ( We got a toaster and some nylon sheets! How times have changed.) 😉 The pandemic, then pregnancy and subsequent birth of Zara has meant it’s been put off, but fortunately, because of the pandemic the expiry date of “the experience” was moved on. She’s staying at ours tonight and other grandparents tomorrow night. Anyhoo, I got up early as when I nipped to the loo at 6, I saw a juvenile great spotted woodpecker on the nut feeder which is only 3/4 feet from our back door. The woodies usually use the ones further up the garden away from the house. The young are obviously fearless! Watched it for quite a while and decided to go downstairs to see if I could get a photo. I did, then decided to stay up as my stomach was growling with hunger. It does mean I’ve already got a loaf of bread on the go, and I can now chill for a bit before the whirlwind arrives. :rofl:

Have a happy Monday. It’s gonna be hot, hot, hot. 😎
