Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 6.1

cant believe we’re now just 4 months away from Dec 25th
busy day at work yesterday

have a great d everybody 😎
 
Good morning. 7.2 today.

Only 11 degrees at the moment but supposed to be a nice day. Sunny intervals and a light breeze, 18 degrees. Perfect walking weather, we’re off over the border to the beach. The Scottish children are back at school so should be quiet.

@TinaD as much as I love my grandchildren they absolutely exhaust me and I’m always happy to wave goodbye to them.

@goodybags it’s our youngest daughter’s birthday on 3rd September and I always start thinking about Christmas then. Where has this year gone?

@ColinUK and @Northerner what on earth is a wobble board? :confused:

Have a great day folks. 🙂
 
5.8 🙂
Good couple of days - no pre-meal BGs above 9.4. Short peaks around 13 shortly after breakfast, but fed up of low-carb breakfast.
And seagull seems to have stopped trying to nest on car bonnet, so no need to wash it every day.
Sky is blue, sun is shining, wind is light, BGs haven't spiked after breakfast - must be time for a stroll for a coffee-on-the-beach.

7.5 a bit too late for backfast now so won't be eating until after my produce. Originally I thought it might be a good opportunity for a background test then thought it's not the best time as nerves etc could interfere with the results.

Typical part of mind cops up and goes what if I have a hypo mid produce but then the local part of mind kicks goes it's fine as the letter says my blood sugar will being monitored by a nurse so if anything was to happen they'd know how to handle on opposite side of things I do uaqilly rise in the morning I think so if that does happen I'm not sure I'm going to be able to resist the urge to a correction.

Morning all, 5.8 here. Looks dull outside, but there’s still no rain after the one deluge we had a week last Tuesday.

Blimey Robin, that’s bad. I think maybe we’ve had it all. We hadn’t had days and days of rain but when it rains it’s quite heavy. Much of it has been through the night. It’s actually very autumnal this morning, it’s lovely. Fingers crossed the rain will come soon. I’ll do a rain dance for you, I have a rain maker in a cupboard upstairs brought back from some Caribbean island many years ago, I’ll give it a shake or two! :rofl:

How accurate is it? It rained at daughter's house 7 miles up the road yesterday, just not here, you’d need to pinpoint the exact spot.😉:D
 
Good morning everyone. Looks much colder out there this morning.

BG 4.8 fine
BP 122/78 slightly elevated. Stress due to upcomming blood test this morning ?
Pulse 63

My weight has just crept to below my present goal which is 65Kg. Time to celebrate with tons of cake and ice cream (not)

Couldn't find my house keys this morning. My wife had used them last night and not replaced them and put them in a bit of a strange place. Still, no disaster as I woke my wife who found them in short order....then I could put the bins out.

Let's hope that is the only glitch of the day.

Plans? Maybe a walk this afternoon. My friend cannot join me so it will be a normal solitary walk...if I go. Hmmm

Celebratory tea tonight after this mornings fasting blood test.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
GCSE results day so hoping my eldest gets the needed results for planned A levels/BTEC. We can find out in 40 minutes or so (depending if kids are ready in time to be prompt, and how quick the school are in giving them out!)

Also got my appointment with the practice nurse this afternoon, so should be able to find out my actual numbers and formulate a plan for how to tackle the diabetes and cholesterol (I've made myself notes on my phone to make sure I don't forget anything I want to know!)
 
4.6 for me today. 🙂

7.1 this morning.

@eggyg It may be a wooden disc with a hard ball underneath or it may be an inflatable thing but it’s broadly similar whichever version it is.

Ooh that looks like hard work! I have to hang on to something to put my jeans on my balance is that bad, think I’d end up on my backside using that! :rofl:

So they’d be ideal for you as a way to improve balance and save your bum from getting bruised!!
 
And it’s a 5.7 this morning after a 12.9 last night, to many chocolate squares last night.
Pouring of rain this morning the first for weeks - yippee.
 
Morning

8.9 today

Got stressed last night so went to bed on 15.7! Tried to order a cooker and fridge freezer via the Argos app, got confirmation screen with an order number, money was pending in Bruce's account etc but no confirmation email etc, seems there was a error in the server communication etc so the order wasn't actually placed, second time it's happened with them as had the same issue when I bought mum's hoover in January 2021, anyway Bruce may have to wait up to 5 days for the money to show as available in his account again, tried doing it again this morning after speaking to customer services using my card and I've got email confirmation this time, was worried the slot we were needing wouldn't be available by this morning, right to be slightly concerned as rather than the full 4 options of slots it had dropped to only 2 options but thankfully the one we required was one still left, phew! xx
 
Good morning all 5.5 for me after all the excitement of last night, daughter was in shower when water started coming through kitchen ceiling light. 😳 Took a couple of hours to sort it and then time to calm her down. Hopefully plumber will come and sort it properly today.
Have a good day everyone

I don't think I will try it with one leg! It physio they sit me on a big ball and wobble! 🙂

Same sort of thing really. But with one leg it might be more difficult!!
 
3.8 according to Libre the first time I woke up (BG will be slightly higher in reality, although I didn't check with a finger prick, so no real cause for concern) and a real flatfish horizontal line along the bottom of my range all night with a half unit Levemir increase last night as I rode instead of walking yesterday. I slept really well as i always do when levels are at the bottom end of my range. Anyway, I ate one JB to placate Libre and went back to sleep and woke up half an hour later on 6.7 with an upward sloping arrow. That is a 3mmol rise for 5g carbs if you believe Libre 🙄

Ian and I are going on holiday today for the day! We are having a trip to Cragside near Rothbury. He works at the farm every day of the year including Sundays and Bank Holidays and we don't go away with having the animals ourselves too so we are sort of having a day off today.... once we get animals fed 🙄.... and since we have National Trust membership that we hardly ever use, we are going to get some of my money's worth. I really fancy taking the horses up there and driving through the gates in a horse and carriage, so that we could then drive through the grounds which would be lovely but it's a lot of work (on our one day off) and it's possible they might refuse us entry although it would be very bad publicity if they did, considering it is an original vehicle.... I know McDonalds have refused to serve the drivers of horse drawn vehicles at their drive through facilities in various places..... Not that I am likening Cragside to McDonalds. 😳

@rayray119 Best of luck for today. I am sure everything will go well, but can totally understand you being anxious.
