Group 7-day waking average?

5.6 this morning, and after a nice mild and dry weekend it's cold and wet here this morning, and blowing a gale too. Hard to believe I spent the weekend cutting the grass, weeding and generally tidying up in the garden front & back, and getting all our washing dry on the line. Drove to Morrisons to pick up a newspaper and some bits & pieces and their car park was jammed with parents dropping their kids off at the nearby primary school. Not many walking or cycling to school this morning.

@Gwynn - sorry to hear you've had such a tough time but congrats on the HS

@Barrowman - congrats on yours, too

I suspect Berkshire's not alone in getting a battering from the weather but hope everyone has a good start to the week anyway.

4.8 this morning when we had an early breakfast at 6:30 ready to be collected from our hotel at 7:10 for a day in the rainforest. First let me tell you that there is a reason it is called a rain forest. The drive up to the Daintree was ok, although it was dull. The heavens chose to open at the exact same time we boarded a river cruise boat. Apparently rain can go sideways and soak you through in minutes. The other stops were good, a lovely lunch of some grilled barramundi, followed by a stop at a place that specialises in tropical fruit flavoured ice cream (cue lots of insulin!).

The end of the tour was to Mossman Gorge and an interpretive walk through the rain forest on a boardwalk. Guess what happened during that? Yep, more rain. There’s a “system” just off the coast in the Coral Sea apparently. Oh well, an experience!

@Gwynn - congratulations on your HS and so sorry to hear about you and your wife’s tough time. I hope things get more stable soon for you both.

@Barrowman - congratulations on your HS.

@ColinUK - enjoy Warsaw!

We’re doing our own thing tomorrow and plan to explore round Cairns, weather permitting!

Take care everyone!
 
7.9 here, climbing steadily in the postprandial spike of breakfast, I'll expect to be hitting 14.5 - 16.0 in the first hour after eating.
Been experiencing early morning hypo's of last (the last four days) so I'm going to reduce my evening basal down a notch.
 
Good morning folks. 5'6 today. We also had a mild, sunny weekend, and today it doesn't look so good. It was quite windy on my way to work, I didn't check the forecast for rain. Is not that reliable anyway.

I have a driving lesson this afternoon, was very motivated after last one and tried to book two for this week but unfortunately the instructor didn't have slots available. After I might do some cooking, I have my mind in cottage pie with cauliflower mash. Also some egg muffins and/or boiled eggs to grab for breakfast.
 
morning all its a 5.4 for me libra 2, i decided to use the wave sense meter i was given in hospital to check finger prick, its was only one higher 6.4.. ive been using hubbys Libre optimum meter thinking with it being the same make as the Libre 2 it would be more compatible but clearly not, so it might not be the sensors after all, he did put a new battery in but i think i will see what the next few days tests show.
 
Hello I believe it was 7.somthing when I first woke up. My IBS still playing up a rather bit and can't decide which way it's wonts to go for and what trouble it wants to give me. The over thinking when things do happen probably isn't helpful. I'm half thinking of trying fodma.diet again but that's complicated and could expensive.

That reminds of the time we were on a trip to the Paulton's Park theme park when our boys were younger. It started to rain, one of those showers, similar to yours, that go from a few spots to a torrent in seconds. Luckily we were next to a cafe and popped in out of the rain, but as we did so we noticed that the nearby rollercoaster had just set off. Not the sort of thing you can just stop so that people can get off. Everyone riding it got a right soaking.

What on earth is an interpretive walk??! Was it something akin to Max Wall?
 
Just remembered you lovely lot so, will post this now as cautiously fast as possible because I have something in the oven: SO easy to burn, as I HAVE done so in the past, when posting, & typing, takes longer than I thought!

I’ve been swing up & down this week as I can’t seem to get my insulin doses right: is it the Spring/Summer effect; not helped by my erratic eating habits due to me getting distracted & forgetting to eat while watching a newly launched contemporary cdrama on Tuesday!

Anyway, here I am today not eating until now my breakfast, 1st meal of the day, after being up since 7am: I just forgot! My BS for all those hours DOES tell me that my basal is too high as I stayed about the same for a few hours despite DP & started to drop slowly at about 0.4mmol an hour. So, I’m dropping my basal Tresiba by -4 tomorrow from 64 to 60…..
Time to get food out! Back later!
 
Hopefully without that slight constant drift down I can get my NR doses right: was too high, too low & my waking BS, & my sleep, all over the place & having to stay up late to correct with biscuits and/or NR!

Hope you’ve all had a Wonderful Day & I wish you all A Good Night! 😉

I’m tucking into mini Danish pastries with tea now for breakfast at 20:03! 😳 I’ve learnt to be conservative with NR, after this week, & I still put in 64 at noon today so, hopefully BS will stay up tonight but, in either case after too many late nights, I’m conked & will deal with high, if it is high, in the morning? :confused: I went through a lot of marsh mallows & biscuits this week & NR has been around a few times from 24-40 & just can’t seem to land it “On The Nose”! 🙄
 
Good morning everyone. Up early at 3am.

BG 5.4

I hope today is going to be better.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
Good morning - 4.6

Have a great day everyone.
 
Morning all! 6.0

Slow day yesterday. Only 16,382 steps!
Met up with Max, my friend from Kraków who’s joined me in Warsaw.

Had breakfast.
Resisted the lure of this breakfast item and opted for scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. However I am tempted…Not!

Chatted loads. Walked about five minutes then stopped for coffee. Chatted loads more. Walked slightly longer. Stopped for lunch. Walked a bit more until we arrived at POLIN: Museum of the History of Polish Jews where we spent three hours and didn’t see it all.

Did see this… IMG_1068.jpeg
It’s a program for a production in Yiddish of Tosca.

Walked a bit more. Caught a tram to dinner and talked even more!

Huge veal schnitzel. Tiny, almost gnocchi, dumplings. Vast mountain of cabbage based slaws and sauerkraut.

Morning all. 4.0 after a night where the low alarm kept going off so countless JBs consumed to stop a hypo. I did manage it but tired now. I have a longer day today as well as i need to stop for a meeting after work (unless it gets cancelled, fingers crossed).
 
Morning a flat 6 for me so happy with that.
Colin sounds like a perfect morning for me a few steps,coffee,walk a bit more and food and seeing sone interesting places along the way.
Quiet day at home as have so plasterers coming to remove some kitchen units and see what lies behind.
Dogs just happy that it was dry if a little chilly.
Have a great day all
 
Good morning. 6.3, and it’s dry and calm. Yesterday was absolutely awful, so cold too. Fingers crossed for a better day.

Mr Eggy is hoping his water irrigation system arrives from B&Q today. As we’re going on holiday for two weeks beginning of next month he wants his little darling seedlings and plants to be safe from over/underwatering neighbours! But firstly he needs to drill a hole through my kitchen wall to get water pipes to the greenhouse. 🙄 Noise and, no doubt, dust will be the order of the day.

I’ll just keep out of the way! Bird feeders need filling up so I’ll just stay in the garden and pull a few weeds up. Pointless doing any housework. 😉

@ColinUK sounds like a great day.
@Eternal422 I’m so jealous of your adventures, it all sounds amazing.

Have a grand day.
