Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone, it's a happy 5.9 for me today after a night of heavy rain here, and the forecast is
for more of the same all day.

Have a good rest of the day folks.

@freesia It really isn’t claustrophobic at all. Also you’re in control of whether the door is closed or open, if the lights are on or off etc.
It’s much warmer with the door closed. Also if it’s open then there’s a discernible difference between the temperature of the bits of you that are in the water and the bits that aren’t. But it’s certainly something that takes a bit of getting used to.

9.8 this morning when I took my basal. It was 7.2 when bolussed at breakfast. The spike wasn't very noticeable after my walk an hour later. Been having a strum of my guitar - the Unforgiven - by Metallica and some finger-picking too. Feeling stable for a change.

Do you take your own bus or is it supplied? 😛
 
I believe it was 7.9 this morning but work place still seem to sending me emails that are sent to everyone even they basically let me go. Which is odd. And receiving emails brings back the feelings of when I got the email giving the news in first place.
 
Hii. 5'7 this morning.

Yesterday I didn't feel like having a proper breakfast (and didn't have much time either) so I went for a tea with 2 biscuits and a small chunk of chocolate. I did regret it. My Libre graph shows a quick raise of 6ish mmol and an equally quick descent of around 8 mmol? I did not go hypo but that big glucose drop made me feel dreadful. Not helped by a stressful morning at work. And of course I was hungry again pretty soon.

Is interesting how when I was a child that was the standard breakfast: biscuits or muffins or cereal, coffee for grown-ups and a glass of milk for us kids, with cocoa if you liked. Naked carbs, basically. I'm no fitness pro by any means but this days I don't do breakfast without some protein, a biscuit can be an "complement" to it but is not a meal. Diabetes aside I've learnt it doesn't fill you at all. It's been a while but I think I arrived pretty hungry to the school lunch break :confused:

Today went for a safer choice of yogurt with walnuts and seeds. Not super filling either but no spike. Work very busy again but better mood, no doubt helped by the supervisor starting one hour later than me, so I had a relaxing start of the day without her stressing me from the beginning. By the time she arrived she had plenty to do to keep herself busy :D
 
I cannot remember just how much of an update I have given you.

I managed to get through to the hospital late yesterday afternoon and the consultant reassured me that my wife was settling in ok.

That helped me a lot to feel more settled in myself. I just can't get my head around the fact that no one contacted me to say where she was or what they intend to do or even that she is ok. Especially as she was reported missing vulnerable to the police who later found her.

I know that this is the start of a rocky road for her and for us as a couple because I have been here before with her. The last time she returned from hospital she was determined to leave me! And I would have let her go if that had been what she truly wanted. It was a very hard time for me as she worked through her emotions, injuries, pain, anger but we did get through it. It damaged me terribly but I put that aside for her sake. I am just a bit aprehensive that we may have all that to go through again. I am not keen on pain and suffering in either me or my wife.
 
Evening all. It has been a lovely day weather wise.

At 8:30 am I was 5.1. Middle of the night my sensor had ended 8 days early and I had applied a new sensor. Initially it was doing the "wait 10 minutes" thing, but it eventually got going. Unfortunately my meter battery was flat, so I had to wait for a test to see what my BG was. This morning I was within 0.3 (4.1 AND 4.3) so I think I can trust this sensor. Fun and games though as the sensor was alarming whilst I was in the shower - not the most convenient time. When I finally got my phone I was waving it over my omnipod and wondering why it wasn't registering.... DOH!

Rushed around getting things ready for lunch and got all in place for my friend to arrive for lunch on time. Lunch went down well but my friend had to leave quite soon after we had finished as the last bus on a Sunday goes at 4:26. Ridiculous time! I then fell asleep on the sofa for an hour or so!

Well tomorrow I shall have to ring Abbott to get the sensor that only lasted 6 days replaced. That's 2 in a row. I am normally able to rely on the sensors much better than that.

@Gwynn glad you finally got through to the Consultant and got some reassurance, but so sorry to hear about the probable anxiety and so on that is likely to follow.
 
Yay. I have the dubious honour of being first. Then again I’ve been awake for an hour already…

6.8

Now time to doze or meditate at least
 
Good morning - 5.7

Spanish speaking exam today - hopefully should go well.

Have a great day everyone.
 
Good morning

BG 4.9

Slept well (late 1pm, but well)

BP is rather high and won't come down

Another empty day ahead
 
Good morning! A slightly better 8.9 for me. I change out the Isophane yesterday evening and my BG was better although I reverted to my normal dose. So it seems the last 10% - 15% had lost some of its efficacy.

Have to note the sun is shining! Quite unusual not to have to put the lights on at this time!
