Group 7-day waking average?

Motning. 10.9. Been in the 12s most of the night which has ruined a second unicorn day, but i slept through from 10pm. Maybe its because i only have a few hours left of this sensor. Glad its Friday.

Sounds like you had a good time @Pattidevans. Welcome back.
 
Morning all. 5.9 today.
I ended up having a unicorn day yesterday even after going out for a meal. I went low before I even got to the restaurant, not hypo but in the 4s. Ordered the meal and didn’t pre bolus, didn’t finish the meal and ended up having a hypo on the way home from the hairdressers, packet of Squashies consumed, yuk! Then I felt sick as I often do after an event like that. Didn’t pre bolus for tea either, as I was back into the fours. BGs did rise but not much, so mini Double Decker eaten, not much change so a packet of Sunbites. By bedtime I was 5.5, absolutely no chance I was eating again, so against all the advice, I went to bed. 😱 All was well, but not something I would normally make a habit of.

Today is Zara day, hoping she’s more compliant as heavy rain is forecast for all day, so no park, running around the garden or a walk to the see the piggies at the farm down the road. I bought stickers, a big drawing pad, wax crayons and a book for her yesterday, that’ll entertain her for about two minutes! :rofl:

Have a fab Friday and I’ll see you all tomorrow, hopefully not as early! 🙂
 
Good morning 5.1 today
Looks like I forgot to test & post yesterday morning, (I overslept then was rushing)

it’s another long weekend for me, as I’ve taken a day off work,
Ive made a few appointments including the covid booster jab.

Have a great day everybody 😎
 
Well it’s official, @eggyg and I are not the same person.

To celebrate my newly arrived cold, sore throat and swollen glands I’ve been given a whopping 9.7 this morning.

I feel fine and will batter the symptoms into submission with paracetamol and sudafed.

Ahh, I quite liked being Ceggy or Coleggy or Egcol ( does that sound like a piece of 70 furniture?). Hope your cold does one soon. 🙂

I envy your sudafed: can’t take decongestants with blood pressure medication; the most I can do is cetirizine allergy tablets that raise my heart rate a bit & can’t take for long! Green with Envy emoji! 😉

I can’t take cetrizine because it makes me hallucinate.
Well I mean I can, nobody’s stopping me but…
 
Just a quick interlude.
I’ve just done Wordle in three, in about three seconds! Some days I’m at it on and off all day.
I’ll probably get up off the sofa now and fall over my own feet! :rofl:

We’d be a very stylish piece of furniture made from oak with bent wood details in the matching chairs.
 
Wordle in 6
 
Great to have you back @Pattidevans. I was tempted to slap on a second Pod in France in July LOL - everything’s so delicious and carb-heavy. 😱

Morning all. 7.1 here.

Must dash before the rain hits West Wales...catch you later!
 
Morning 6.3 today. Optician yesterday said I need to get a full eye test as my right eye has deteriorated with distance vision. (Left eye carrying it enough so I'm still safe for driving.) So seems like I will finally be the last of my siblings to get glasses (the rest got them as kids for short sight... though one has had laser now and another wears contacts)
 
What do you take for allergies then? Do you get hayfever? It’s a side effect I haven’t of before! It must be a rare one? :confused:
Apparently it’s quite common.
Last time I took it I swear a 6ft long talking salmon was swimming through the tube carriage.

I take loratadine for hay fever. Actually I take it everyday from early March only stopping in mid October.
I’m allergic to the plane tree pollen and that’s what lines the street I live on and is the predominant tree in the local area.
I’m also allergic to ornamental cherry which is the second most frequently found tree around here.
Maybe I should move!
 
Good morning everyone

BG 4.9

Today nothing planned

Tomorrow flu jab and covid boostet. I just hope I feel ok afterwards

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Good morning - 5.5 - rather good given that I was spooning down yoghurt at 02.30, my excuse being that it was that or eat the sheets.
Awaiting residue of hurricane Ian - gales with winds up to 50mph and heavy rain - but currently misty with still air.
Have a good day everyone.

And now reading 6.2 so maybe the other reading was incorrect for some reason.

Probably just add more problem pollens to your list then :rofl:
 
Good morning! Closest I have been to a HS at 5.1 - is it a 0.5HS! Pleased with result as I was more stressed than Tuesday and Wednesday. Dealt with four organisations. The two in the morning were judt adequate and the two in the afternoon totally inadequate! Mediocrity seems the new norm these days and it is worse than pre Covid! Feel rubbish from probably too many coffees and stress! I may in danger of becoming Victor Meldrew!
