Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

8.something for me today

Seems every few days something wants to stress me out, Friday it was trying to get in touch with the bank, tried the "message us" in the app - useless, tried phoning for over an hour and a half - useless as lines were all busy so finally took to messaging them on Twitter and got the help I was after pretty quickly (we now don't have a branch as it closed down on the 2nd)

Sunday it was RM, they were due to deliver a parcel (because it had been sent Tracked 24) it went to the delivery office in Arbroath and seems they can't follow instructions although there 3 notes to make them aware as they took it away as the address was inaccessible (inaccessible my ar**) (Montrose delivery office managed to follow the instructions perfectly well 2 weeks ago) so anyway they state another attempt would be made the next working day but all the tracking said was pending and there were no available options to change delivery, called RM and waited half an hour to speak to someone and he was as much use as a chocolate teapot, told me the note I'd left was redelivery instructions despite the request being left in the app on Friday, the day the sender despatched it but he argued I was wrong (I do have the proof in my app and a confirmation email from when I did it) and he wouldn't help, called after 3pm again to be answered instantly and he was a little more help, he doesn't understand why nothing happened with it yesterday but he put in a redelivery for tomorrow etc so it better turn up and be left, also ordered something yesterday and purposefully selected RM 2nd Class delivery out of the options to then be emailed and the sender has used EVRI, we've had numerous issues with them so I am not happy at all

Anyway @ColinUK sorry to hear of your encounter and I hope your on the mend soon ((hugs)) xx
 
UPDATE - Just had an email to say the parcel that wasn't delivered on Sunday will be delivered today by my own towns delivery office xx

Did you get his number @ColinUK ss it should be reported to the police. I would do so anyway as there may be CCTV in the area.

Nope. Wasn’t thinking straight immediately afterwards and didn’t ask.

Already reported to the police as I was injured a bit and thought it ought to be counted in the stats.
 
Morning all. 🙂 4.2 here.

Spent yesterday afternoon pottering with one eye on the horizon where there was a wildfire raging, smoke billowing, helicopters (the size of gnats, it was about 20 miles away) dumping water on the blaze. Last night's rain finished it off, phew!

Shame you didn't get the idiot's number plate @ColinUK. That's a points on licence offence at least! Glad you reported it. I hope you're feeling okay today and are on the mend. Nasty shock!

Woohoo @Kaylz.
 
Its coming down, its coming down, glucose is coming down! (to the its coming home tune)

7.4 this morning, finally a number that feels more normal. 🙂 yeeee! still a way to go and my weight is now also down I weighed in at 12 stone 13 this morning, it was stuck on 13 stone for ages, and weirdly enough I have stuck to 1200 cals or below for the last 38 days since I started weighing in at 14 stone 4, but yesterday I went over (still healhy low carb) I was just under 1400 cals yesterday and today I lost that offending pound to bring me into the 12s...just in time for my first DSN appointment on Thursday.

Today I shall mainly be working from home, I work for an ambulance trust and have worked from home since the pandemic in March 2020 now its permanent but at last I am not seeing it as open season for the fridge in the kitchen (gained loads of weight over the last 2 years but now if I have a break, I either glug water or exercise 🙂 )

I am looking forward to today, have a quiet one hopefully and the sun is shining. Had 2 weddings in the last 2 weeks, one was my sons,....here are a couples of photos of them, I am the mad lady at the front in the sunglasses and then peeking suspiciously over my sons shoulder in the other one. only one missing is my other son (the one who got married - probably at the bar)

After a 6.2 last night I'm now a 6.1 this morning, oh well, I did have a bit of chocolate before bed.
 
5.9 for me today. 🙂

This is the West End of London. Junction into Tottenham Court Rd. There will be CCTV but it’s whether the police have the capacity to follow it up.
I’m assuming they will as there is a traffic camera facing the location but with reduced numbers of officers it’s hard to know where this will fit on the scale of response.
 
Good morning - 8.4
 
Morning all - another gorgeous day, forecast to be 25C.

5.5 this morning with a flat line all night. Really happy with that!

Not much on except a visit to the chiropractor as the rotator cuff thing on my shoulder is painful. Will probably go for a walk this afternoon.

@ColinUK so sorry to hear of your accident. Trouble is the Met seem so overwhelmed with everything that they don't have time to do anything about anything. Not heard a thing about the report we filed regarding the rogue parking company- criminals!

@gll sorry to hear about the Covid, hope you get better quickly.

@Gwynn why are you on the proton pump inhibitors for life? I ask because I was on them for years, but was able to come off them when I was properly treated for the stomach acid. Yes, they will stop you absorbing B12 and a B12 deficiency can be very serious indeed.
 
It was 2.7 on the Libre for me this morning following a "LO" an hour earlier. Finger prick was a slightly less naughty 3.9. Lost control of my diet last night and ended up eating some boiled sweets from a large jar that was given to me as a birthday gift about 10 years ago and was located in a moment of desperation last night when I was scavenging in cupboards and drawers for something/anything because I needed to comfort eat. The sweets had all stuck together and had to be chipped apart quite aggressively with a knife, so at least I expended some energy in the process. 😉 I probably ate about 5 or 6 but some were in fragments and of course had to inject insulin for them.... 0bviously a bit too much. 😳 I am ashamed of myself for having such a moment of weakness and will try to do better today at least.... "One day at a time" as the saying goes.... Need to go shopping and need to get back in control of my low carb eating. Too many carbs crept into my diet recently what with being at shows and buffets after drives etc and long days and just wanting to grab something quick before bed instead of cooking real food and eating properly. Not e to self....Must try to be more organized!
 
Morning
7.4 today, managed my first run in quite a few weeks, and although slow, I got round the 5k route, then followed by rest and restorative yoga.

@ColinUK - so sorry to here about your accident. There certainly are some idiots on the roads. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Good to see you join our merry band on this thread. Look forward to hopefully seeing those levels slowly come down over the coming weeks. Feel free to chip in with chit chat as well as BG levels and other diabetes stuff if you like. One of the enjoyable things about this thread is that we get to learn more about each other beyond our common diabetes diagnosis.... The real people and their lives behind the BG numbers..... or just post your readings if that is what you are comfortable with 😎

Thank you. i have spent a good chunk of time last night reading other people storys and i have to say evan just one night reading i dont feel so alone now. hope that dont sound to daft.

Not daft at all. We all know the importance of connecting with others who have diabetes and comparing notes and how that alone can make us feel more normal and make the burden of it all a bit less heavy. Really pleased that it is helping you even after just a relatively short space of time..... unless you sat up all night reading posts.... done that myself 🙄 Just have to remember that sleep is important for good diabetes management too!
