Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning! 6'6.

I finally swapped to reusable pens for both my insulins. They are a tiny bit heavier than disposables and so feel more "solid" to me, in a way. I also like the look, I showed them to my friend yesterday maybe a bit too excited haha. Oh, little joys!
 
Good morning 6.4 today

Have a great day everybody 😎
 
Another 8.1 this morning and definitely full of cold.
Yesterday, besides the funeral, shall officially be known as The Great Heating Switch-On Day of 2022.

Oh and I’m not happy with you lot! Not at all!
How come nobody’s once mentioned that All That Glitters is back on BBC2? I only stumbled upon it by chance and now have all of the latest series to catch up with!
For those not in the know it’s a jewellery making version of Bake Off or Pottery Throw Down and it’s worth a watch if you like this sort of thing.
 
Good morning folks. A very nice 5.6 today and a unicorn! That’s what accidentally doing two Wainwrights does for you. Bit extreme TBF! :rofl:

Drove to Brothers Water as planned, us and quite a few others it seemed, as we struggled to get a car parking space. Do we do a gentle ( ish) stroll around the small lake taking in Dovedale or do we follow all these folks up that thar hill? It doesn’t look too tasking. 😱 Mr Eggy got the OS opened on his phone and devised a route. Of course what we saw as the top, wasn’t! We should have known that, but we had our rose coloured specs on! Seven hours later, we got back to the car! Disheveled, sticky and clammy, yesterday turned out to be quite warm, we’d ascended over 600 meters, approximately 2000ft, 6.5 miles, bagged two summits and descended through the bog of hell and very large rocky rocks! I was in agony, I had done something to my left ankle and was aching all over. It was fabulous, once I’d had a shower, my tea and a can of Diet Coke! Googled the summits we’d hit and they were both Wainwrights. High Harcop Dodd and Little Hart Crag ( it didn’t feel little). Only us!:rofl:
I don’t feel too bad this morning, ankle still a bit tender but everything else feels fine, at the moment, extra childcare today, Zara’s other grandparents have selfishly gone on yet another cruise, that’s three this year! 😉 Not sure we’ll be able to even walk to the park today, we’ll see.

Have a good Tuesday. 🙂

Photo of my unicorn day and the “little” fell we climbed! It didn’t look that bad from that angle!

My daughter watched that last year, she really enjoyed it, she hadn’t mentioned it this year. I wonder if she’s missed it too! Oops!
Re the “cold”. It’s taken me over two weeks to shake mine off. First time without a sore throat on Sunday, it was great. Just about the whole family has had it, it just keep getting passed on and on. Hopefully it’ll be short lived.
 
Morning all, take your pick, I woke at 6.30am and was 5.3. Dozed off for half an hour, woke up again lying on my left arm, and was 3.3. Ten minutes later I was 6.8 with an upwards arrow. I expect it’ll settle back down a bit lower when the algorithm realises I haven't just eaten a sticky bun.

Good morning! Woke at 2:30 for some reason so did a BG - 6.0. As I was thirsty made a cuppa and did Wordle in 3!. Now hopefully a few more hours sleep and another BG in a few hours. Hopefully DF or DP don't spoil things! View attachment 22216

And another 6.0 a few hours later. A few double sixes would have been useful in the days people played board games. I tried to teach somebody chess a few years ago and they asked me "Isn't there a simple chess?" '(

There’s speed chess which starts with fewer pieces.
 
Morning all.

4.7 for me this morning which was not much short of a miracle as I was on 9.2 at bedtime but really fancied an Options hot chocolate with a little shot of rum. Shot myself 2.5 units and 5 units of evening basal which caused me to hypo the night before but levels were high so thought I might need it. Sipped my hot choc slowly but scanned 11.8 with a vertical upward arrow when I climbed into bed half an hour later and I wasn't having that, so I jabbed another 1.5 units and crashed at 11.30pm. Apparently I scanned at 2.42am and I was on 7.0 and there was a slow decline from there to my waking reading. I don't know what they put in those "Options" drinks but it is like rocket fuel. Won't be buying any more once this jar is empty. I only have one every once in a blue moon but will have to find an alternative.

@MikeyBikey Congrats on getting Wordle in 3 but just telling us would have been preferable to showing those of us who hadn't done it yet the answer. 😳 Oh well, I can still play Quordle and Octordle this morning. :D

Opps, sorry I was so (over) excited at getting it three two days running I missed the letters peeping out the top! :(
 
7.3 this morning. Bg is nice and flat through the bowl of porridge. Still got a headache though and it’s been more than a week now. First day back in the office since being ill again today, so see if that helps or makes it worse
 
5.8 for me today. 🙂

I was thinking I hadn't seen it :rofl:

7.2 today. I think I can blame stress, youngest kid not really well - had a runny nose last couple of days and wasn't up this morning (sacrilege, the child is almost always up before me as wakes by 6.30am usually!) and complained of being dizzy when I checked on them. Thankfully the covid LFT I got them to do is negative, so I think just a cold but kept them off school anyway as them going in feeling dizzy doesn't tend to work out well. Means I'm working from home this morning 🙄
