Group 7-day waking average?

Morning

8.8 today

Apparently Bruce's dad can't get hold of his electrician friend to get the cooker wired in, this is a job I can actually do myself but of course his dad won't allow that and would rather cause me to feel extremely anxious :(

Gas card that was supposed to be sent last week with £100 preloaded still hadn't arrived by yesterday so yet again was on the phone to Scottish Power last night, thankfully the guy was very helpful and phoned the only shop in the town that had cards showing as in stock to check they definitely were, and generated a new code for it so that issue is now solved xx
 
@rebrascora well done on that House Special. 🙂

Colon followed by close bracket is a smile 🙂 , colon followed by an open bracket a frown :( , semi-colon followed by close bracket is a wink 😉 , colon followed by small 'o' is Wow 😱 (you can also use colon 'eek' colon for wow 😱 ), colon followed by 'mad' followed by colon is angry 😡
 
And it’s a 4.9 for me today and the sun is shining for the first time in three days. Summers back without the intense heat.

Or you can do it the @Lanny way and just spell it out in words if you can't access them, which I have adopted with text and my friends and family find it really hilarious... particularly as I am a tech dinosaur. I particularly love my "breath on fingernails and polish on lapel" emoji :D
 
4.8 again this morning at 6.30.
Feeling a little apprehensive this morning a week today(29th Sept) I go for 'all diabetic bloods' to be taken, my first since diagnosis on the 30th May. Hoping for a good result after all the work - losing weight, now only 0.5kg off my personal target of 60kg, measuring portions, recording food eaten and carb counting - I've got my fingers crossed.
Congratulations on the new car @rebrascora, hope everyone has a good day 🙂
 
We were initially put in a bay on children's ward, another teenager opposite us having a venflon put in apparently so junior doctor was explaining "I'll only do one try as venflons are more tricky, so if I don't get it someone else will try" 🙄, maybe not the most helpful for my anxious teenager to overhear.... little boy being fairly noisy the other side behind curtain but cute... nurse then came back to do the emla cream and offered a sideroom and my teen accepted by nodding (they tend to go non-verbal when feeling anxious). So now we're somewhere quieter :D

Morning all and it was. 7.6 for me although a rather more on reasonable 6.4 on the finger pre breakfast.

Yesterday was new sensor day and I didn't notice I've been given libre 2 sensors. Started it on my libre 1 reader so no alarms. Let's see what accuracy is like as the last 2 originals have been absolute crackers.

Today is Dr's appointment, then down the studio to hopefully get the mixer fully ready for rehearsals and load some sounds I've created onto the keyboard.

Have a good day everyone.

Would be interested to hear how you find the Libre 2 sensors for accuracy compared to the original, especially as a direct comparison using the reader. My gut feeling is that it is the phone software which causes many of the problems with Libre 2, so I will probably stick with my reader when I eventually have to upgrade, even though it means no alarms.
Did you request to go onto Libre 2 or is this a dispensing error? I notice my last few Libre boxes have had a large blue and white sticker on them encouraging me to go online and upgrade to Libre 2 but I am standing my ground with the original until there is no choice. Works very well for me so why mess with it?

I can only assume it's a dispensing error. Last conversation I had with the clinic was that I was happy to wait for the 3 to be available.

I'm the same. I just got the email about the Libre 1 being withdrawn at the end of the year. Obviously, I'll have to upgrade, but I won't need the extra features, so am happy with what I have now. They did send me a Libre 2 sensor by mistake once.
 
Afternoon all.
Libre said 3.9 but fingers was 5.4 this morning. Yesterdays (forgot to post) was a libre scan of 5.2 (altho sensor is misbehaving a little so who knows)

Been a busy few days. Had hosp on tuesday and with bus times, was out most of the day, yesterday I ended up at sis in laws then up shopping for some bits for her and out in glasgow today so kiddo could go to some shops up there.

Insulin is being a little too effective after all the walking about so happily snacking on the pocky we got in the comic/toy shop and will correct at dinner if I need to :D

Anyway off to get my new PJs and slippers on (yes I am aware it is only 3.30pm...don't judge me :rofl:)
 
Congrats on yesterdays HS @gll. Theres nothing wrong with early PJs and slippers either!

I've never had occasion to use that one! 😱 :D Oh yes, I forgot - colon+D = grin/laugh :D and colon+'confused'+colon is, erm, confused :confused: :D

Oh is :confused: confused here? I know it as thinking.
 
Didn't succeed in getting the bloods, teenager was too anxious to agree to the final step of actually being jabbed. The charge nurse is going to call me tomorrow to arrange another appointment and discuss what further steps we can take to help teen feel like they can go through with the bloods being taken. Then got stuck in traffic taking them to school for the afternoon because my sat nav tried to take me down a road which had been closed 😡 and it took me a while to navigate my way to another route, there was so much traffic built up I had no clue at what point the road reopened. I could have found my way to the other route probably a little quicker if that had been the first alternative route I considered 🙄.
Ended up converting my planned afternoon visit (for work) into a phone call to cover essentials today and an agreement to visit next week instead as there was no way I was going to manage to fight my way there and back through the traffic in time (found out yesterday that kids were finishing early today as well....)
