Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 7.1 today

have a great day everybody 😎
 
Motning all. 7.2 and a fairly flat line overnight, very unusual for me.

Another thunderstorm and more lightning last night with really heavy rain.
 
Morning all. 6.6 at 7am when I was woken by Mr Eggy’s phone pinging! I was so annoyed with him for forgetting to put it on silent. But I forgave him when I saw I also had a text, from TNT, our passports are being delivered today! Woohoo! Hopefully I’ll have an Algarvian holiday booked before the day is out. I did peek last night and apartment is still available. Phew! Delivery times 8-8! Please let it be more 8am than pm!

No plans today, apart from not going anywhere, not even to the top of the garden as it’s 40 yards long! I’ll do my ironing and watch rubbish on the telly, that’ll make the day pass more quickly.😉

@Lanny I’m so sorry to hear your bad news. Sending all your family my best wishes.
 
Morning all, 5.3 here. So close!
Another heavy rainstorm with masses of thunder and lightning last night, at least it had the decency to do it around 10 pm so it didn’t keep me awake. Man is supposed to be coming to trim the two long hedges down our drive today, he may have to wring them out before can start.

I'm so sorry to hear your news, @Lanny, and the difficult decision you've had to make, but no parent would ever want their child to risk their life or health for them.
 
8 this morning after an incredibly restless night with terrible dreams. I don’t have enough amitryptaline with me for 2 per night (prescribed 1 or 2 per night), so I’ve been trying 1 some nights and 2 others. Seems like none means don’t sleep that well, 1 means tired enough for early bed but terrible dreams and wake really early (2am was my first wakening), 2 seems to mean too tired for bad dreams and sleep till a better time. Will try 2 tonight as need a good nights sleep.
 
Look what has just plopped through my letter box! 🙂
I won’t show the photo as I don’t want to put you all off your breakfasts! :rofl:

We filled in the on line application on Thursday 18th August. Took old passports to PO and sent second class recorded. They arrived the following Monday and they started our application. Two weeks later( we’ve had a bank holiday) we’ve got them. Why are some taking so long? I can only assume it’s possibly mistakes made on the form or the photo isn’t right. Whatever, I’m pleased. Algarve we’re coming home! 🙂

Do you know Brian Bilston? I follow him on FB and he’s writing a poem everyday in September. He’s really good, funny and topical.
I have a weekly blog on FB, I only have 200 friends. It’s my “literary” output.

I don’t know of him. I’ll look him up.

If you’re willing to share your blog, send me a message on here and I’ll add myself to your number of groupies!
 
Good morning everyone 5.6 for me this morning, full of cold today I'm guessing have picked it up from my granddaughters, will have a quiet morning to see if it eases.
@Lanny sorry to read of your sad news, my thoughts are with you and your family.
 
@Lanny I’m so sorry to hear of your news and I’m sending you hugs.

@eggyg I’m so pleased that your passports arrived but how do we know they’re yours unless we see the pictures?!

Whacking 7.5 this morning for me. Good to see morning numbers steadily rising in the run up to bloods being taken for my HbA1C of course.
I’m expecting it to have increased as my daily averages are generally higher than they were. The question is how much higher I guess.
 
It’s a 4.5 for me today and thats after a 11.3 last night.
 
5.5 for me today. 🙂
@Lanny sorry to hear of your sad news. Thinking of you.

Thanks SO much for your comfort & support!

Getting up now a wee bit earlier than my alarm set for 10:15 to be ready for taxi at 11:30 for blood tests at the hospital at 12:00 because the hospital just rang me to say the consultant can’t make the appointment on Thursday so, it’s cancelled! Still get the bloods done today & another appointment will be sent for the review within 6 weeks!

I tossed & turned all night & sleep was very interrupted but, I feel guilty because I don’t really feel upset: that’s EVEN MORE UPSETTING; I know now I’m in shock & I’m not as upset about not BEING upset as I was when I went through mourning for mum! It took a kong time for me to cry properly for mum & it wasn’t until I did that I started to heal & accept! I was SO angry ALL the time: getting incandescent with rage over the tiny everyday irritations that would normally just run off like water off a duck’s back; screaming at things like a slow internet connection or even worse NOT screaming when out in public at bus or train delays! All the time feeling all that pain & not being able to cry! All the anger wasn’t good for me & I was stuck in the anger phase of grief, not being able to move on for a long time!

I’ve been through it twice now with mum in 2015 & my sister in 2018! Now, I’ll go through it again for dad! It’s a bit easier as the shock is less & I understand better now about how I, in italics, deal with grief!
 
Not waking BS is 10:06 BS 9.6 don’t know how long I’ve been awake, around 04:30? without food: don’t feel like eating!

I know with grief that low BS is the problem as grief saps a lot of energy & my BS can, & has dropped, drop like stone! Will try & eat now & be ultra, ultra conservative with NR until AFTER I get back from the blood tests!
 
10.5 - it's frightening how quickly the effect of the Metformin has worn off (stopped taking it on Friday). Had a good chat with the GP today. My cholesterol is high (7) and I was asking about the pros and cons of taking statins and whether doing anything diet wise was likely to make enough to a difference. With my brother having had a stroke last year and then dying 3 weeks ago I don't want to be complacent about the importance of a good level of cholesterol. She's given me some food for thought and said I don't have to rush into things and can have it re-tested in 3 months and see if some dietary changes can make a difference. I probably will end up taking statins but as always am fearful of the side effects - particularly the muscular pains I've read about. Anyway - with regards to my Metformin, my stomach is much better so she's now prescribed me the modified release and I'm starting that on Friday (if they arrive by then) and will introduce them super slowly like I did last time. Have a good day everyone x
 
WooHoo! I got Wordle in 2 today. Got both vowels green with my first attempt and then had a bit think and settled on something then changed my mind. Good move!

BG levels are totally rubbish, high all night and needing stacked corrections or persistently low during the day. Cut my tongue out for boasting about my 96% TIR the other day. Serves me right! Anyway, I have dropped 2 units off my morning Levemir and will put it on my evening dose and see if that will level up the ship and get me into smoother waters.
I am not posting a waking reading as I have woken so many times I wouldn't know which one to post. I am not even sure I went to sleep. Grrh!
 
Morning all 7.4 on waking (and went back to sleep for a bit) and nearer 9 when i actually got up and a pretty smooth line overnight. Amazing what happens when dawn goes off to bother someone else 😉.

Predictably tired today but will try and get some things done anyway.
 
Morning everyone 🙂 mine were 5.7 yeah!

@Lanny sorry to hear your news never nice hearing about someone passing :( I've lost both my mum and dad and it's awful and now my younger sister is terminally ill at the momement, so I do feel you you x
