Group 7-day waking average?

A very early good morning. 7.1 at 4.45am! Hot, sticky, back aching, RLS and starving, apart from that I’m absolutely spiffing! As we have got rid, errr I mean, as the grandchildren have now left the building, I can have a nana nap later.

Yesterday was a hot day for walking to, and around and back, a summer gala. 4.5 miles total walked. Queues for everything, rides, ice creams, face painting etc. I spent £48 in less than two hours! And in spite of having a ice cream as my BGs were down to 4.4, I still was heading down on the hot walk home, 4.2, the ice cream never touched it. Jelly baby stop required. I only wanted to have one but Mr Eggy panics and insisted I had two. So reluctantly I did. An hour later I was hitting 13! How, what, why! The worst thing was, I checked on my meter, I was 2 mmol higher! Anyhoo, on the whole we had a good day even if I forked out £16 for two helium filled unicorn balloon and one is currently residing in my neighbour’s poplar tree! Ooops! One upset 6 year old who’d been so careful when walking home that it didn’t catch on any prickly bushes. Goes out into our garden on our return, and a gust of wind just snapped the ribbon and up it went! I was upset too, I’d just paid eight quid for that! 😳

Today I’ll be mostly doing a big fat nowt! TBF I can’t afford to, it’s been a very expensive weekend. But everyone’s had a great time.

Have a Happy Monday y’all.

Sadie’s balloon in happier times. And now in a very, very tall poplar tree! No ladder is going to get that high!

6.8

Watched the “Ungentlemanly warfare” film last night and it’s fun. It’s better than typical Guy Ritchie fare but mainly that’s because of Henry Cavill and Alan Ritchson who can make anything quite watchable!

Physio this morning. Won’t be too surprised if he discharges me but he might say come back in 6 months.
 
Good morning/moaning! A 6.8 here. Want to be asleep as early doors Podiatry but instead having tea and painkillers, and avoiding even thinking about Wordle-Quordle! Opps, just done that! Shall I try LIBRE :rofl:

Dark, partially cloudy and close!

Good morning II! Now 8.3. Not DP but, I suspect, the 2 x Rich Tea (RT) I had after the painkillers as I became rather acidy.

Off to Podiatry shortly.

Intermittent sun through broken cloud. Is this the cloudiest year on record?

Good morning 4.2 on waking today

looking forward to hopefully soon receiving a delivery of my free trial freestyle libre sensor ordered last Thursday, then can speak to GP/ DSN see if I can be entitled to be prescribed that under the NHS

DMO eye clinic for me this afternoon (having missed an appointment a fortnight ago)

Happy Monday everyone 😎
 
Morning a 7.2 for me after going high just before bed and a 2u correction as I could not resist some Sourdough bread and ages since I had any.
Did little yesterday apart from a lovely lunch out and quiet day today WFH as have to have eye check so can’t drive.
Coming up to my 1 year Diabetes diagnosis so am in better place now than I was a year ago so far so good.
 
Morning folks. 10.5 here...sbort a sbri/ fun and games, as ever.

A few errands to run this morning then back home and down the beach for a paddle (or a swim?). It’s going to be a hot one!
 
Morning all.

A bright start again today here. It was really hot yesterday.

Starting the week with 5.4 and my youngest back from Denmark (studying) for a brief summer break.
 
Morning all - going to be pretty warm here today, and a 5.2 to kick off the Monday.

Congratulations on the House Special @Amyfaith (5.2 was always the number on marketing materials for BG meters so extra points for hitting that hallowed number :D )
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.4

Yesterday was brilliant. Great short walk with an ice cream! Church was good. The drum backings I had selected for the praise songs were accepted and used to good effect and my song went really well too (with its own guitar backing).

Today hopefully 2 walks one this morning and the other this afternoon.

Next month I have to tighten up on my diet to lose a little weight and to ensure my HbA1c in September has improved

But right now it's breakfast...

Ok, it's not that really but it looks good and tasty. Mine is really a small quarter bowl of breakfast cerial and 50g of banana. In fact there's not much on that plate that I like!

Now this is much more like it...

Or maybe...

Comparing those to what I actually eat for breakfast is quite remarkable. I suspect that I might possibly put on a little weight if I tucked into that lot.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing

Morning all. 4.8.

My friend is coming round after she's finished work and i'm doing her some lunch. We shall sit in the garden and eat, drink (water!) and chat for as long as the heat lets us. I have a south facing garden and its quite a sun trap so it gets really warm. Weather says its going to feel like 29°!!

@PattiEvans nice photos. We liked Porthleven when we went there a few years ago.
@Bloden I'm very jealous that you can easily get to a beach. Being by the sea i always find very calming. Enjoy the paddle/swim.

Have a good day everyone and be careful in the sun and heat.
