Group 7-day waking average?

We were woken by the door bell going at 7am Currys deliveing our new washing machine they were supposed to deliver between 10am and 2 pm, not sure if waking with a start caused the reading on my new Libre but it was 9.9 finger prick was 5.1, its also had 3 breaks in the night and 2 more this morning,

Morning all - cold and grey. Can't have more than one sunny day in a row can we?

7.7 this morning.

Meeting friends this afternoon. Then home for something I cooked earlier - probably stuffed gnocchi in blue cheese sauce with spinach. The chicken dumstrick tray bake I made last night was really nice. Hubby has always said he's not keen on drumsticks, but you could have fooled me last night as he woofed them down!

@harbottle I can't look at your new avatar, it gives me the willies!

@pam you seem to be unlucky with Libres. I seem to be very lucky as they seem to really suit me and are very accurate. Some people are.

Yes its very frustrating this is the third one that seams to be playing up, before they have been mostly ok after the first couple of days, i got a replacement the first time, didn't bother replying the second one as it had 3 days left but I've kept it, will give this one until Monday to settle down then will phone them.
 
A rather late posting my 5.0 today, a busy day but it's done now.

Have a good rest of the day folks.
.
 
Twas a 4.3 for me this morning. Woke up just in time . Now off to Newcastle to see Peter hook and the light . Few other good bands from back in the dar too . Wedding present. The farm . Theatre of hate . Have a good Saturday folks
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.0

It feels quite cold this morning.

I decided to try grapefruit this last week but sadly found they upset my stomach very badly. The only food that has done that! Shame cos I discovered that I like them, bitter as they may be.

Today church, rest

Have great day tody whatever you are doing
 
Morning, I made it yesterday with a flight and a long drive (brother picked me up) and am now up with family for a bit.

Think things have settled in my brain now and I’m in a different stage of shock or the shock has worn off a bit? I’m not randomly bursting into tears any more, last time I did wasn’t since Thursday. I don’t really believe the news though, and my dad looks healthier than last weekend which just confuses the matter.

The news I was sad about is that last weekend I took my dad into hospital as he was very weak and badly jaundiced, we thought it was linked to his gallstones and that taking him in might bump him up the list to get his gallbladder out.

But, they found that they are tumours in the gallbladder not stones, with other tumours in the liver, kidneys, lungs, spleen, and probably his brain based on symptoms but haven’t scanned there yet, and I forget where else. He’ll find out what kind and stage etc on Monday, but have an idea of that based on the specialist he’s seeing. They said worst case, he’s only got a couple of weeks. So think the shock of that being quite different to gallstones is what got me, and had been screwing up bgs this week.

5.2 this morning, having spent most of yesterday 4-5 i am going to drop the Lantus tonight. Is 10% (from 50 to 45) a too big jump? Haven’t changed Lantus in ages that dose has always been fine ish and I play with my apidra more because of my erratic pancreas.

Sorry to hear this. Take care.
 
Woke at 05:36 and after half an hour decided I wasn't going to drop off again so I got up, tested while the kettle boiled (5.8) and settled down to wait for Sunday morning's repeat of MotD.

Managed a good bit of tidying up in the garden yesterday. Cut the grass out back (I won't flatter it by calling it a lawn), did some weeding front & back and took out a large shrub that my wife had decided had to go. I was such a nice afternoon that I got the patio furniture out. Also got three machine loads dry on the line, and managed to find time to nip into nearby Bracknell to pick up my wife's C&C from M&S. Busy boy or what?

@Lucyr - so sorry to hear about your dad.

So sorry to hear this, Lucy. My thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
 
Morning all. 7.5, not sure why that is. Thought it was my sensor playing silly beggars for the last few hours of its life, but no, the meter agreed.

Lovely, but chilly, morning, grass cutting on our list today @Martin.A. Got potatoes and carrots planted out yesterday, ( well, Mr Eggy did I was cooking), then it poured down with very gusty winds. Then it stopped and got nice, the great British weather!

No great plans today, a walk hopefully if it stays nice, and goulash for tea, already made.

Sorry to hear your sad news @Lucyr love to you and your family.

Have a super Sunday folks if you’re able.
 
Morning all, 5.3 here. Flatpack units successfully installed at son’s yesterday. Was heartened to see no less than three thriving independent cafes in his small town, when we had to pop out to the hardware shop for wall fixings, of course we had to try one out, it would have been rude not to.
So sorry to hear your news,@Lucyr .
 
I was 5.6 this morning.
My most common reading.

@Lucyr sorry to hear about your news.

Dark outside with no rain on kitchen window!

Good morning again! As of 15 minutes ago 6.2. Hope I get an undisturbed night tonight as early doors podiatry tomorrow.

Weak sunshine breaking through! 🙂
 
6.4 today, so starting to come down. Going for a run walk today, then off to help out my friend that had a c-section 2 weeks ago.

@Lucyr - sorry to hear your sad news, sending my love to you and your family.
 
Morning folks. :D 5.5 here.

No sooner had I started using a new Libre sensor...BG unavailable. I’ve been trialling the Dexcom G6 and had forgotten, in just 10 days, how pesky the Libre can be LOL. Fingers crossed, I’ll get an upgrade to the G6 SOON. 😎

So sorry to hear about your dad @Lucyr (((hugs))).
