Group 7-day waking average?

Waking part 2 :D
9.2 after this afternoon's sleep (can't really call it a nap since it has the cheek to bring FOTF to the party) 😉

Well I am on my second bite at the "waking " cherry too and a disappointing 10.0 for me this time, but my levels have gone high the last 3 nights. I think the heat is releasing the basal insulin quicker but then it is running out later in the day.
Mine was a lovely sound refreshing sleep (hope yours was too) so definitely not a nap but without Libre I can't see if FOTF is happening.... probably though. 🙄 I chucked a couple of units of Fiasp at mine and heading out for a walk to do evening stables as soon as my coffee is gone and may continue on into the night for a longer leg stretch as it is so much more pleasant now than it was in the day and I love the quiet and darkness and we have a fab moon and sky at the mo. Hoping to see some of the Perseid meteor shower maybe. My garden is great for star gazing as it is nice and dark.:D

Most farmers round here own their own (well on finance 🙄 ) because trying to time the harvest with the weather is too critical..... we still get rain up here :D Fields tend to be smaller here too I think and the terrain is hilly and the weather more variable so the timing of harvest for each individual field and crop is more critical ie south and west facing ripens considerably quicker than north and east facing etc..... or maybe it is just that the farmers round here are less organized🙄Hopefully a neighbour who has finished their harvest will be able to offer their machine but combine's are high risk due to the nature of how they work and the fine dry dust particles they generate that build up in the working parts. Just so relieved that it didn't develop into a wild fire. I always used to worry about flooding because we live down in the bottom of the valley but it is a sign of the times when I now worry about fire.... far more destructive too. Really feel for all the people who lose homes and livestock and loved ones to fires..... just scary seeing some of the stuff that is happening around the world!

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 a look on Ebay out of curiosity. There is quite a selection from £300k downwards. Mostly John Deere in green. Thee older stuff fit spares or restoration tends to be the red of my youth. Parking/storage might be a problem!

Good morning everyone. Red sky here. A warning to you shepherds I guess. Seems very hot this morning even before the sun bursts through. A few clouds in the sky now too which I think bodes well for things starting to cool down.

Well, in all this heat the body is having a tough time for many. However....

My BG 5.2 this morning. Hooray no more dancing around an HS.

Today, an early walk then a major update to the App for some new functionality. I am finding things a bit hard not having my afternoon walk as it is so hot and possibly dangerous in the sun. I like walking on the beach because it gives me the space to think and the occasional dog wanders over to say hello. That always makes me feel good.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning folks. A high ( for me) 8.2. Unusual because I had a unicorn day yesterday without spikes. Went to bed on 6.5, had a ginger nut but according to Libre I dropped at midnight and started going up. Perhaps if I hadn’t gotten up so early it may have been lower. I’m not concerned, we all have blips!

I said yesterday we were going to Northumberland today, my bad, we’re actually going to County Durham. It’s only an hour away so we’re going to stop at the Lambley Viaduct near Haltwhistle and have a walk along the trail there. I’m hoping it’s going to be a tad cooler than of late. We’ll take a picnic, check into hotel at 3, have a swim in the hotel pool, shower and down for dinner. All very civilised, frock and heels packed! Makes a change from walking leggings and boots!

Have a good day all, and I hope it’s going to be cooler for us all. 🙂

Well done @Gwynn. 🙂
Hope it wasn’t too hot in your house @freesia, I have kept all my windows and curtains closed this last few days and it amazingly has been cooler in the house than out, hopefully that’s the case for you. 🙂 Where have you been for your holiday?
Well done @rebrascora on yesterday, it can’t have been easy in that heat. I struggled walking from one end of the garden to the other! 😱

Photo of my unicorn day. Especially pleased as we had rice last night! Normally sends me into the stratosphere.

Morning all. 🙂 5.8 here.

Hubby shot out of his side of the pit at half 6 - good idea, I thought, and slid out of my side...it's going to be hot hot hot here today, so I'm glad I've already got the morning walk done and dusted. Then next week, it's going to be autumnal here in N Spain - fab! my favourite N Spanish season, warm and sunny during the day, nice n cool at night, with the odd rain shower. Then the week after, scorchio again.

At last @Gwynn! Congrats!

Ooo, yer big show off with yer fancy unicorn LOL - well done @eggyg!
 
on thisSunshine Sunday 5.7 for me today
Congratulations on the House Specials @Gwynn & @Robin

had a very very relaxing birthday yesterday..shhhh I kept it a quiet one.
the only cake that passed my lips was just a single chocolate eclair
I have another left for today 🙂

Yesterday evening was most disappointed @ the attitude Tesco pharmacy,
who said to me well your GP only uploaded the request to us yesterday,
we haven’t got NovaMix or Trulicitym they are very expensive medications,
we no longer keep in stock. I was lost for words at their attitude which was, they will be in on Monday or Tuesday o_O
I then went to a proper pharmacy and got the Trulicity,which was on the shelf and available, suppose serves me right for not using a “Propper Pharmacy“ in the first place.

Have a Great Day Everybody 😎
 
Morning fellow sufferers, It's a 6.7 for me at 6.45 this morning after a restless hot night.

Off to Argos later to pick up a new tower fan after mine decided to pack up at 2.45 this morning,
 
Well a very disappointing 10.5 for me this morning. My levels just would not come down after I woke up from my first sleep. I injected 3 stacked corrections of 2units, 1.5 and then 2 units again and the lowest I came down to was 9.5! If I hadn't put my insulin in the cool box with the food and drinks yesterday I would have assumed it had got cooked but it doesn't have that excuse. I haven't increased my basal this morning just left it at yesterday's dose so I may end up firefighting with lazy Fiasp. I've shot myself 3 units just to correct it this morning and deal with any FOTF, so we will see if that works before I consider a breakfast bolus.

@eggyg Your unicorn is a very handsome beast. A very pleasing thing to behold.

Many congratulations to @Robin and @Gwynn on achieving the nominated optimum reading this morning. Well done guys!

Wordle certainly had me scratching my head this morning. Got there in 4 in the end but it challenged the grey matter.
 
5.9 for me today. 🙂

Morning all. 4.8 for me. I managed a 98% yesterday which i'm happy about after my levels Tuesday and Wednesday.

Congrats to @Gwynn and @Robin on your HS. @goodybags happy birthday for yesterday. @rebrascora i hope your levels settle.

@eggyg it was boiling in our house when we got home. The sun is fully on the back of our house from 12-7, the hottest part of the day! We closed the curtains on the back and opened the windows on the front to catch an occasional breeze then put the fan on. It didn't cool downstairs until around 10pm and upstairs stayed hotter for ages.
We went to Whitby, it was lovely, we visited quite a few places around there and did so much walking my feet are still swollen. I recorded our walks, we did just under 40 miles over the week (that is a massive amount for me!). Have a lovely break. County Durham is somewhere i would like to go.

Have a good day everyone. Stay safe in the sun.

Also got in 4, but sat there for ages trying to work out every permutation of where my 3 correct but misplaced letters could go. Then eventually the light dawned. OH hasn’t tackled it yet, I’m looking forward to the blank/puzzled expression.
