Group 7-day waking average?

I had a lie in today, and its 6.6 - I am OK with that, first proper night sleep last night too. I normally get about 3 hours sleep but last night I had at least 7 hours, wonder if my nocturnal sleeping pattern has caused sugar irregularities as I notice people that do shift work are more likely to get diabetes 🙂

I have just put the washing out so expect it to rain later 🙂 My daughter and her boyfriend who live with me are off to Greece on Monday so trying to get all the laundry up to date. I sneakily tried on one of her dresses which are size 12 and it fitted me! It was an elasticated pretty summer dress from urban outfitters but in June I was in size 22 clothes! so this is a remarkable change. I haven't weighed in yet as my phone has died and I need it for the app. I feel a lot lighter today, my stomach seems to have flattened out. Is it really giving up carbs that has made this transformation in just 6 weeks!

Have a wonderful day all

FWIW a lot of the Indian contract workers travelling to the middle east (mostly from small villages) always put the butter pats off the passenger meals into their tea. We all thought it was revolting!
 
Morning all - yet again blue skies, though forecast some cloud this afternoon and thunderstorms tomorrow. Looks like the weather will break now and no chance of sun in the predictable future here.

Was woken at 8 am after a restless night by a Libre alarm and 4.2 BG. Ate JBs half asleep!

Off to a 50th birthday celebration in the open air this afternoon. Should be fun.

CONGRATULATIONS @ColinUK on your HS.

Have a good day all!
 
it was 9.3 frist test but had been a wake for a whie and i dide eat a biscuit in the midel of the night(i was 5.2 and didn't know which why it was going)
 
Just to let people know who haven't spotted it I have started a new thread for your pre tea/evening reading to see how your day has gone.

Before Tea/Evening Meal

I thought it would be interesting to see how people's day had gone before they have tea/evening meal. I will go first. The heat seems to be affecting me. I had hoped for 7+ or - 1 but got a naughty 10.9 so injected and waiting an hour. These dinosaur insulins take a while to kick in. This is...

And it is a 7.5 for me at 7.45 on this fine and sunny morning (again) wish it was just a bit cooler at night.
 
Afternoon good peeps. It was 6.2 for me this morning.

Has anyone actually melted yet? I felt like a puddle on legs after my morning walk and the sun hadn't even shown its face at that point.

LOL I like that. I haven’t had a walk for about three weeks now, I bought a secondhand exercise bike - now doing my walking in the garage until the weather cools down.

We're on our way back from holiday and decided to stop off at a town we wanted to go to. We had a bit of a walk and some lunch then headed back to the air conditioning in the car, it was far too hot! We'll have to go back another time.

The only thing is, we're now headed home where the temperature is 35° and the house has been shut up. Its going to be boiling in there o_O!

@Robin Hope you get a cooling breeze from somewhere. Our class is just after midday so we are going to be sweltering. We will be taking 5 gallons of water but think I will need to traipse the showground with the container and lug more back for GGs. It is going to be "HOT, HOT, HOT

Hope you havent melted yet! Our instructor started lessons at 7.30 am this morning, to beat the heat, and said it was quite cold and misty then! It was 29 degrees on the car thermometer driving home at 11.30 after ours! Luckily half the arena was still in shade, so we did the technical bits down the shady side.
Passed a pall of smoke on the way home, the other side of one of the villlages we go through, and met a fire engine on its way to it. There have been so many field fires in the last few days, the fire brigade is rushed off its feet.

Just home and onto my second cool drink to wash down some paracetamol for a nasty headache which is developing. Our class was at 12.30pm and there was no shade on the showground and an hours work unloading the carriage and setting it all up and harnessing horses before we went into the ring and then another hour getting all packed up to leave, although thankfully a slight breeze picked up a bit later in the afternoon.
We came third which was a reasonable result as there was stiff competition and whilst Zak was really up for it, Arthur let the side down. Our friend Paul won it with his welsh cob and a commercial operator with a pair of warmbloods who does weddings and funerals etc came second. Even if Arthur had gone better we would have struggled to improve our placing, so I think it was as good a result as we could hope for. Can't say I enjoyed it but it is done and I have managed my levels pretty well during the day itself but needed 5 teaspoons of honey and 5 jelly beans with my breakfast to prevent my levels dropping into the red and had another 2 jelly babies and a couple of bites of Ian's Magnum ice cream to lift levels as they were dropping during the day and currently 4.2 and dropping again now that I am rehydrating! And that was with another 2 unit Levemir reduction this morning..... that is -9 units in 3.5 days/ If this weather was to continue for another couple of weeks I probably wouldn't need any insulin at all at the current rate of reduction. Maybe a heat wave is the cure we have all been waiting for! :D

We spotted a fire a couple of miles south of the farm as we were returning home. Turns out it was a neighbouring farmer's combined harvester overheated and set fire whilst he was harvesting a field of rape. Thankfully the fire brigade kept it from spreading but the machine is a write off.... Probably about £100,000 of equipment up in smoke and no hope of a replacement for at least a week and he has crops of rape and wheat desperately in need of harvest now before the weather changes.. Who would be a farmer... especially tenant farmer as he is!

Congratulations on your placing! It sounds like you did the best you could. I must say, after I'd untacked my horse this morning, I suddenly had to have a sit down and a bottle of water, my blood pressure's on the low side at the best of times, and I think it dropped with the dehydration. I was riding a newly broken in pony this morning, and just doing simple exercises in mostly walk and a bit of trot, to improve his straightness and get him going forward, but it was quite hard work even so! My Bgs stayed on the right side of hypo, fortunately!
One of the field fires round here in the last week accounted for a hugely expensive combine. All the farmers here use them and then pass them on to the nest farmer who needs them, and they’re all booked up in advance, I was wondering where that leaves the farmers further down the line waiting for their turn with that particular machine, it’s not something that you can just go and get a new one off ebay!

Had to share this with you, I was talking about your day with OH, (who is an accountant and sound businessman). His comment was, that if the professional could afford to turn up at a show today, he obv hasn’t got any bookings at the moment!

Very true but he did 2 weddings yesterday so he isn't short of a penny or two.... He specializes in doing Asian weddings and I think they may be less likely to be on a Saturday than in our culture.
