Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning 6.3

Drs visit went well - was able to tease him a bit about the weight he had regained on his recent holiday in Ireland, overwhelmed by the generous invitations to partake of Guiness I gathered. OK the fight is on - next time we meet I plan on having a better BMI than he does. Once the kids go home I shall be on cupboard sanitising and leave not a carb in sight.

Settled that I would pay for a scan next flare to see what is going on and the NHS would pay for the blood tests. Won't do my budget much good but may resolve the confusion created by a rather incompetent Registrar imposing his diagnosis over his senior, but absent, consultant. Oh well, no pockets in a shroud.

Rather grey here and chilly, looks to have rained in the night, glad I mowed the lawns yesterday evening. Looks as if it may clear up in mid afternoon.

Have a good weekend all.
 
Well done @Robin on the "HS". My reading was 5.8 this morning. 🙂

Morning, another Len again this week with a 7.0
Should I be dancing... no!
Have a great day all!
 
Morning everyone, it’s a 5.4 for me on this very grey and windy day.

Have a nice weekend everyone and stay safe.

Morning all and it was 8.6 for me. Looks like BG wasn't dropping as much as I thought it was.

Despite that usual breakfast and hypo land 30 mins later.

Sometimes you can see the logic and sometimes stuff just happens.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Hello weekend
I’m joining @ColinUK on our famous Len step today

football season kicks off today so later will be following on radio / TV,

I keep saying I’m going but never do it but it’s my intention to swim
then relax in the spa at some point today.

Have a lovely day &TC everybody 😎
 
Morning all - very dull and grey. Predicted to be like this all day

6.3 this morning with a flat line all night more or less. HCL working well.

Have a problem today with a pain in my left kidney area, but I think it's muscular as it only hurts when I move and the muscles in that area tense up. Will rub the area with Voltarol and see what transpires. Apart from that, nothing much planned except a supermarket shop. Will probably make Moussaka for dinner.

Have a good day all.
 
5.2 this morning and a nice flat line, I did have 2 JBs before going to sleep as I was 4.8 and dint want to risk a hypo off to the marine aquarium to buy a new fish, were getting a Goby they sift the sand and are funny to watch, off to see the new Deadpool film tonight looking forward to that its ages since we have been to the cinema, also got the letter from hubby's last scan at the end of June nice to see the result in writing have a good day everyone
 
Afternoon all. We're currently on our way back from holiday in Looe. We had a lovely, restful, relaxing time with little or no internet connection or phone line.

I've skipped through the weeks posts but can't remember who had HS. So congratulations if you've had a HS this last week, big hugs if you've been feeling rough or struggling with levels. One thing i did notice....congratulations to @eggyg on your newest grandchild. Lovely photo.

Woke to a 6.5 this morning after a hypo at bedtime followed by a rise (probably the fish goujons and chips i ate last night, very nice).

Hope everyone has had a good day.
 
Good morning everyone. Looks like today will be a scorcher...

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning all,

A much more respectable 6.3 today, did eat better although still some bread, didn’t have any of the doughnuts or birthday cake, so a small step forward. Out or a walk with my friend this morning we haven’t met up since before she went on holiday in June, either one of us has been ill or I had had my ops, been on holiday, so lots to catch up on. Still have this cold but it won’t affect walking, hopefully after Tuesday I can start running and yoga again. Will have to start slowly with running again.
 
Good morning. A nice round 6 that satisfies my OCD.

Caught a lovely sunrise at 5.30, and I can see Skiddaw this morning. It’s going to be a lovely day. Not as hot as forecast for down south but a nice 23c. We’re off to see our new grandson later this afternoon. Looking forward to that. I had big plans to walk there and back, it’s about eight miles, but yesterday’s walk has put paid to that idea, I struggled with two miles. Back started pulling almost straight away and I could feel it getting tighter and tighter. It was a slow walk back! Initially, I thought I’d set myself back but I feel fine today, I rested when I got back and used the hot water bottle. Not completely out of the woods yet, back at osteopath on Wednesday. It’s very frustrating that I can’t do what I want to. I’m not very patient am I?🙄

We found out yesterday that a cousin of Mr Eggy’s is currently in the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle after having his pancreas removed. Another cousin reached out to me for info and help for him and his wife when he comes home. He had a benign tumour ( like me) and they didn’t intend to remove the whole pancreas but when they got in there it was full of yucky stuff ( don’t think that’s the techinical term) and they took the lot and he’s currently getting the yucky stuff drained out. They didn’t take his spleen which is something I suppose. He’s 62 and not terribly healthy and already had Type 2. I do feel for him and it’s triggered awful memories for me but as I told the other cousin I’m still here 17 years later. Surely that must give them hope. His wife, who I do know quite well, is going to contact me. I hope I can reassure her.

Have a smashing Sunday, and don’t forget the sunscreen.
 
Morning all. 6.8

Had my dermatology appointment yesterday morning that was booked back in January when my scalp was covered in cysts. Obviously they’ve all gone now. Still kept the appointment and showed the dermatologist photos of what was.
He suggested that as I’m now on their books directly, next time anything comes up just call and book an appointment with them instead of with the GP. I’m now classified as having Open Direct Self Referral access so that’s a good thing.

Family tea this afternoon at the folks. It’ll be us, brother, s-i-l, nephew (maybe his gf), her mum, dad’s brother, wife, two kids, partner of one and their two kids.
As much as I enjoy it, it’s always a little stressful as well.

@Grannylorraine Have you had any more thoughts about what’s suitable for lunches?

@eggyg Enjoy cuddling the wee man!
 
Good morning. 5.8

Had a busy time yesterday chasing a naughty and essentially sticky 3 year old round the house with a damp cloth in an endeavour to avoid the house looking squalid. Fortunately the sun came out and they all set off for the beach at 1300hrs which allowed me time to drag out the Henry, wash down the breakfast bar where small feet had been kicking the wall, and pack the dishwasher yet again. It made me think of @eggyg and her busy grandmothering - she must have the patience of several saints! Buyers came early and stayed an hour. Seem genuinely in search of a property and not tyre kickers altho' whether they will chose my place I do not know - they asked all the right questions.

The kids had a great time at the beach, taking my large inflatable boat, invariably known in all its iterations as "the Good Ship Village Shop", and getting thoroughly wet and brown. They were all up late so peace reigns this morning. Daughter obviously highly stressed and concerned about sticking to nutritionists dietic advice whilst avoiding weight loss. This seems to entail eating millions of different vegetables, which is fine, but difficult to get enough calories. At 175cm 67kg seems pretty light to me, not a lot of lee way. And the chemo is making it difficult to eat a lot.

Meanwhile I have started back on the diet - the GP has no chance in this competition unless he has discovered a means of negating the result of any intake...

Have a peaceful Sunday everyone.
 
@ColinUK - decided to keep it simple this week, by cooking extra meat or salmon with evening meals, then having it with either salad or cold roasted veg, also maybe make some individual baked omelets/muffins and I am making an air-fryer meat loaf so thinking that will do me a couple of days lunches with salad. Maybe depending how hot it is some stuffer peppers also in the air-fryer.

Also need to find some recipes for the electric pressure cooker function of the multi cooker I bought a few months ago, only used it in air-fryer mode, which seems a waste as I already had an air-fryer which I gave to my mum.
 
🙂Morning! A 6.3 for me. Off to church later then to my annual running club bbq. I shall have to watch the carb intake but Mrs Snowwy will be on hand to guide me! Must take hat and sunscreen!
Have a blessed Sunday everyone
