Group 7-day waking average?

was 7.6 when I woke up.

@Elenka_HM well done on handling the situation yesterday. Although not ideal to be without, you did the best you could and made sure you were safe. Better to run higher than low as you figured out <3
Your normal pharmacy is a good stop if you are in a bind, if they cant help you out with replacement items, they can possibly help get you to the right service to sort you out (although I suspect you will be extra sure about picking up your bag now).

Thank you! I definitely will be extra careful for a while, I'm one of these people who has to double check she has everything twice before leaving...but still can have a day like this. I'm sure after the initial shock I would calm down and find solutions if I couldn't access my room, but in the moment I was only seeing all the problems! Being in a rush didn't help, of course.

I had more Dextros before walking home because I felt very tired and sleepy, and actually was slightly hypo when I arrived. Then I had my meter and jelly babies and was sorted in no time.

7.1

Meeting the EMDR therapist yesterday went fine. I like him. Don’t yet totally understand EMDR but I’m open minded and ready to give it a go.
 
Good morning - 6.6
 
Good morning. 5.9 and dropping libre says. Yesterday was awful with levels struggling to stay up. All day i was eating glucose to stop hypos but still ended up being stuck at work for almost an hour at the end of the day due to being too low to drive.

First day of the half term and i'm out for brunch this morning with a friend, looking forward to that. Have a good day whatever you are doing.
 
And it’s another 5.1 again this morning for me.
 
Good morning everyone. Horrible dreams this morning just before I woke. Hasn't set me up well for the day.

A bit blustery out there this morning.

Up late at 6:30 am

BG 5.0 not even trying towards an HS
BP and pulse as usual. BP ok. Pulse severe low

I hate it when a potential employer asks for a personal statement, which you then provide, only to then later think of all sorts of things that you could have, possibly should have, included (Too late as the response cannot be edited). Mind you my response was reasonably short and to the point.

Today again nothing planned. Yawn

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Good morning, 6.0 for me today after a dip at 3am down to 3.9 which I didn’t treat.

Chiropractor saw me ok yesterday and the shoulder is ok, if a little sore today. Hoping for further improvement over the coming week. Cold is as bad as ever and had to have extra inhalers last night. It can just do one and go away today!

Nothing planned for today, so starting with a lazy breakfast.

Have a good day everyone!
 
Good morning 8.0 today
 
5.3 for me! 🙂

Dez
 
5.8 for me, after going to bed with a 2.9 following a walk back from the pub!?! Had something to eat before going to bed.
This seems happens quite often.

Coming down with a cold as well, first one for years. (When I had CovId I had no symptoms apart from a runny nose!)

Morning all and another grey one... when will it end?

No reading this morning as my sensor has expired in the night and I need to uninstall LibreLink and install the version prior to all their evil updates before I start the new sensor which has been on since lunchtime yesterday. I suppose I could prick a finger, if I could find my test kit.

Nothing much on today except maybe some ironing and cooking BBQ spare ribs (Gordon Ramsey recipe).

@Elenka_HM well done on handling the crisis so competently! Scary stuff.

Have a good Saturday everyone.
