Group 7-day waking average?

02:27 BS 8.7 & a bit tingly all down my right side! 🙄 I WILL NOT frown!

An extremely early Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Sigh! It had to happen as I’ve been running higher for too long now & just as I’ve settled back down approaching target readings the tingles have started! 🙄 So, I’m dialling down the insulin a little bit to come back down more slowly: learning NOT to go down too fast; the tingles are lot more worse that way!😱

I slept a LOT yesterday & was hardly awake or ate anything but, DID eat: just awake long enough to do so! My aponea has improved now: down to about 50% of the time; my fast heart rate is getting a bit of a breather! 🙂 Things have improved & I’m used to dealing with these mild ish tingles: I’ve had a lot worse! 🙄

My little gardening rakes are an absolute godsend as I’ve discovered that the “unbearable itch” is indeed the new face of my neuropathy & relieving the itch actually improves my circulation to my right side, the side that’s affected first & the worse side, & relieves the tingles a lot: just have to be careful NOT to scratch too hard 😱:D😉:rofl:; I’m LOVING those little rakes, back scratchers, right now & they’re getting a good workout!:rofl:

Hopefully the tingles don’t last too long or get too bad! :confused:
 
Also up at silly-o-clock with Lanny 9.9

Managed to do a bit of tidying up yesterday and by mid afternoon I was in bed and slept until about 10pm, did my basal and went back to sleep until about 2am :D

Had been given a nice 32" smart tv by my nephew when he was moving but didn't have a stand and had lost the remote so got replacements on amazon for under £30 and now have a huge tv for my bedroom. Putting all that together was the straw that broke the camels back yesterday :rofl:.
 
6.0 this morning.
I know it’s all well within tolerances etc but it does make me much happier to see a low six on the meter than a low seven.

Not slept well at all as my mind is turning to the therapy session this morning. It’s my first outside of Survivors and my first face to face. Understandably I’m somewhat anxious about being in a room with someone new and telling them about the sexual violence I experienced and exploring how it continues to impact my thinking.

I’m sure it’ll be ok but I’ll be kind to myself afterwards and will practice whatever self care I feel is appropriate.

@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.

Mine is more of a 'rocker' board, with a larger surface area 🙂 Has the same effect, bacause you can place your feet in different places at different angles 🙂 You could probably make one quite easily if you had the skill and the tools (which I didn't!) 🙂

@Northerner I could probably carve that out of a block of cheese.

Somehow I don’t think that’s a good idea though!

You'd probably need a very hard cheese, like Parmesan, Pecorino, Manchego or Grana-Padano :D

All I’ve got in the fridge right now is half a tub of mascarpone, Brie and a lovely crumbly Wensleydale.
I could try the mascarpone if I freeze it solid perhaps…
 
Good morning everyone

BG 4.8 this morning BUT taking a second reading immediately after the first (on the other hand)....BG 5.4 just goes to show the variability between fingers, strips, meter, you name it.

BP 113/75 excellent
Pulse 64 yup, all good

Had a minor celebration yesterday after the vampire visit (I cooked beef Teryaki with mushrooms and green beans for tea) but fell asleep afterwards and forgot to eat the special M&S trifle. Doh! And the vampire visit has left me with a big bruise. Biggest I have ever had from a blood letting.

I have been reading up on PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors, like lansoprazole). Scary stuff and handed out like confetti apparently. I have been prescribed and taking them for 15 years after a brain tumour operation without questioning it, however I will delve deeper and if appropriate have a chat to my endocrinologist consultant (who has shown zero interest in me for about 10 of those years as I was doing so well). Do I really need to take them after all they do inhibit the absorption of many vitamins and minerals apparently.

Today, nothing planned, I am sure something will turn up (perhaps a trifle 🙂 ) I might get the cholesterol test results too (very unlikely)

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

Morning all. I’ve been awake for three hours and up for two. 6.4 at 4.50am. It was 3.8 just 10 minutes earlier. Compression low I would suspect as I’ve had to put my new sensor on my left arm ( the side I sleep on) as I can’t get my two day old one off my right arm. I posted last night about my sensor woes on the general message board. Grrrr…😡

I’ve spent the last two hours sorting, deleting and editing the 100 photos I downloaded from our walk yesterday! Mostly seabirds, most of them identical! The photos, not the birds. I saw grey heron, ringed plover, lapwings, oyster catchers, cormorants and what I think are black tailed godwits ( I need to do some more research) and of course 1000s of assorted gulls. I also saw a huge flock of ducks, I first thought female mallards, now I’m not certain, more research needed. We walked almost five miles and it was a lovely day.

It’s our penultimate Friday childcare for four today, they’re back at school on the 7th September. :DThe plan today is homemade pizza done in the pizza oven, fingers crossed the weather stays fine. I’m going to make an apple and bramble crumble for pudding, the Bramleys are from our tree and we foraged the brambles from our walk yesterday. If they can move after all that we’ll go to the park.

Have a fab Friday.🙂

I quite like this photo of two cormorants drying off in the sunshine.

Morning all. 5.8 for me this morning. I didn't sleep very well last night and woke early this morning but libre shows i stayed in the 7s all night. No spikes! Yay!!

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all, 6.1 here. Well, yesterday's rain was lovely, but it meant I couldn’t finish painting the summerhouse. I've just hacked the rambling rose back drastically, having seen Monty on Gardeners World do his a couple of weeks ago, so while I can get at the wood, I thought I’d re coat it. When we first moved here, the summerhouse was painted what I can only describe as Beach Hut Blue (more Southwold than Cotswold) and was a complete eyesore. I painted it dark green so it retreated against the yew hedge behind it, and we planted a Wedding Day rose up it, because it was our silver wedding (I think there is a rose called Silver Wedding, there seems to be one for every occasion, but I don’t think we liked it as much).

The day my grandpa unexpectedly died a David Austin rose he’d bought for my parents as a surprise gift arrived at their door.
It was called “Remember Me”.
 
Morning. 7.7 before rolling out of bed then 7.1 after getting up and washing my hands. (Can't do that before getting out of bed - I did use a balm tissue to wipe the first drop of blood though, so not sure if something in that may have affected. Used plain toilet roll for second one.)

Incidentally - do you generally wipe the first drop of blood then use the second? Meter instructions said to do that (and said to use cotton wool but meh)

You'd have to limit your sessions to the thawing duration of mascarpone, which is calculated using the formula Q = mLf = (1.0 kg)(334 kJ/kg) - you'd need to input the weight of your mascarpone into the formula, but there would come a point where the wobble board could no longer be used for its intended purpose as it would become too soft. You'd probably also need to incorporate your own weight into the equation somehow as the pressure you exert would increase the rate of thaw. Might be easier to forget the cheese option and plump for a different, less capricious medium 🙂
