Group 7-day waking average?

9.3 here this morning. Upped the porridge prebolus to an hour and did everything on work timings, even going to go for a walk as I would normally walk to work, to get this figured out. Then hopefully should have breakfast sorted and can move onto figuring out a work packed lunch!
 
Morning all. 6.2 here.

Our hazel trees are dropping their nuts like nobody’s business, so I’ll be doing some cracking and roasting in between tidying up in the jungle / garden. Like you @eggyg I’ll catch up with the funeral on the news tonight.
 
3.3 on the new Libre for me today, 3.8 finger prick and been in the red most of the night apparently 🙄 despite 2 carb top ups at 11.30pm (I climbed into bed at 8pm as I was shattered) and 3.55am. I clearly got my evening Levemir very wrong last night and my Libre stats which I had just built back up to 96% last night after being really on the ball over the weekend are now totally shocking again. Funny how the carbs through the night had almost no impact but a coffee this morning is sending my levels into orbit! It must have woken my liver up. I don't even drink it that strong!
 
Morning all. 5.1 for me.

I shall watch parts of the funeral. I just can't sit still all day and watch though. It feels odd around here this morning. You can usually hear traffic, trains, see people going past in their cars. Theres nothing happening outside.
 
5.6 this morning and I'm happy with that considering I had a takeaway last night. Spent ages and ages going over all the menus trying to work out what I can and shouldnt have. (2nd takeaway since diagnosis)

Decided in the end f-it and ordered a Chinese,
but still tried to be good so I ordered the usual stir-fried veg in a not sweet sauce but didn't bother with any noodles or rice.

I ordered the fake duck and pancakes, allowing for that to be my carb instead of noodles.

Anyway so instead of 20mins for delivery they end up taking over an hour so before they turned up I've already made a bit of green salad and eaten that so by the time the food arrived i wasn't as hungry, finished the pancake dish and had a tiny bit of the veg... Turns out I was better behaved than I expected last night and now have leftovers for lunch.

Also threw out the free prawn cracker things straight away so I'm not even tempted, even though I asked them not to bring any.
 
Just totally failed Wordle. I got 4 greens on the second go but there were too many options.
 
And it’s a 5.2 for me today.

God bless our Queen on her final journey today.
 
Morning

9.something again today

Bruce claimed a house special yesterday

Sorry I've not been around much lately, this new house stuff is really getting to us, the new gas card still hasn't turned up, the shower isn't working, sure I mentioned the smoke detector not working already and also the leak at the basin in the toilet room, the leak was fixed today, called it in as an emergency even though there's a basin in the bathroom Bruce could use but easier as he got the day off for the bank holiday too, thankfully the plumber had the bit that was needed in the van otherwise it would have been put down as needs further repairs!

We've both just had enough as what should be a happy time is just full of problems

His dad hasn't even arranged for the cooker to be wired in yet (being in trade world he want's it to be someone he's done jobs with) I'm feeling VERY uncomfortable about it as I'm supposed to be moving in next week which means I'm going to have to change my whole eating regime which most of you will know is not going to be easy for me :( xx
 
09:57 BS 7.3

Forgot to check in yesterday 09:53 BS 7.3 as well! A bit of consistency is very nice! 🙂

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Just watched the Scottish pipers of the navy marched past on the iPlayer! 😛
 
6.7 for me. I decided to try and trick the system, I took my meter upstairs to bed so I could stay in bed and avoid the FOTF syndrome. But its still higher than I would like. I was hoping for the 5s. I even had a lie in this morning and red wine last night (the lengths we go to for the sake of a lower reading )

Anyway I was hungry as way past my breakfast time, I had Spanish omelette for brunch (38 carbs but as thats breakfast and lunch I guess its half that for each meal) I will be interested to see at 1pm what my levels are as for full disclosure, quite a bit of potato was harmed in the making of that omelette. Potatos so far are being kind to me, I can tolerate mash, roast potatos in moderation so want to see what happens after eating this omelette. I should have added a salad but my mind is in breakfast mode and doesnt equate breakfast and lettuce. I had one of my strawberry benecol drinks and will have lots of veg with my dinner to make up for it.

Anyone planning on watching the funeral today?
 
Good morning
I didn’t test when I first woke up, but BS was 8.0 about an hour ago (before breakfast)

Have a lovely day everybody 😎
 
7.0 when I first got up (but that was fairly late on and I'd woken a couple of times). 6.0 pre- lunch, which was when I first actually ate something
 
I watched the funeral itself, but not all the procession afterwards
 
Hey all. Still on broken sleep pattern but...

Would be even happier about it if I didn't feel like throwing up at these levels :rofl:
(Its only orange because alarms are set to 5 due to changes in doses and wanted an extra safety net.)
 
5.4 today. 4.8 yesterday, seem to be on a streak of high 4's to low 5's - pretty happy with that.

Watched the funeral service and some of the marching afterwards..... Doubt I could keep watching till late evening though......
 
I really enjoyed the bagpipes played by the navy! 😛

Anyone else had to do a quick rethink when hearing, or maybe some were singing too, The National Anthem at Windsor afterwards: it was SO automatic before; need to change Queen to King & her to him! 🙄

I kept think “Prince Charles” when noting the close family members marching: there’s Princess Anne etc; had to stop & rethink that’s KING Charles! o_O

My family especially, my parents, both of them, always called him Cha Li jai meaning Charles, my parents couldn’t pronounce Charles, son but, The Queen was “Yen Ye Haung”, The Queen & NEVER Elizabeth! 😱 Now we’ll have to call him “Haung De” The King: we shouldn’t call him “Cha Li jai” anymore; not respectable!😱
