Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning. 6.4

Chilly grey morning - drizzle expected by lunch time.

Did a swift drive by (combined with a little sneaky trespass) of 2 properties in Pembrokeshire yesterday afternoon. One minute house (no measurements on particulars but I've seen bigger dog kennels) surrounded by 7 acres of bog. The second 21 acres of good land but house hard by the road used as a haul route for a quarry. Oh well, it was quite a pretty run out.

Hope everyone has a peaceful Sunday.
 
A 5.9 for me this morning after a restless night. Oh the weird thoughts that go through your mind when trying to doze off. Like why does Fairy Liquid have a picture of a 1930's baby running around in a nappy?

Fairy Liquid's Baby Symbolism​

According to the search results, the Fairy Liquid baby, officially named “Bizzie”, has been a part of the brand’s packaging since the 1930s. The association with a baby is likely due to the marketing strategy of emphasizing the product’s gentle and mild properties. Baby skin is often perceived as soft and delicate, and by using a baby as a mascot, Fairy Liquid aimed to convey that its dishwashing liquid leaves hands feeling soft and gentle, just like baby skin.

So there you are!

Good morning! A late check-in as after yesterday evening's alarming BG rise (https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/sudden-high-bg.114007/) I monitored well into the early hours. I did each about 15gm CHO around 2:00 as painkillers on an empty stomach are not a good prescription. Anyway this morning a a 9.6 (8.2 on the finger).

I started a new sensor on Friday and it was really good (about 0.5 low) but is now heading the other way - very frustrating.

Cloudy but 5C warmer that Friday morning when I woke up cold!
 
Good morning 5.2
a HS this morning is most welcome, following yesterday evening’s high spike - when Mrs G & I went ti IKEA to get a smaller table (for the conservatory)
like you can in IKEA we spent loads of money on various bits & pieces, but in the end didn’t get the table we wanted, when we got to the aisle in warehouse to pick it, we found they had no stock, so will need to go back next Saturday to collect that on a click’n collect order

We ended up eating from their take away, I didn’t have my insulin (or tablets) my sugars spiked at just over 15 whilst driving home, which was to be expected considering what I had just eaten, I’m partial to their cinnamon buns and I did eat some🙄

Busy day today, various tasks, including car to sort out and clean, a fortnights shirts to iron, some expenses to bring up to date with at work, plus some mandatory training modules (online)
grocery shopping later, maybe relax in the garden also ..
I was planning to squeeze in a swim at Virgin, I don’t actually use the Gym, I just use the Pool & Spa but might speak to them today about that, I was previously thinking of cancelling the membership, when it looked like I was going to be self funding CGM but as im gettthem on prescription now, maybe will keep paying and using the Gym’s facilities but maybe just a little bit more to get VFM.

Have a super smashing Sunday 😎

We need a multi-emoji facility as I wanted to put Star. Like and Care! And I cannot even put them in a reply!
 
Congrats to those who have got HS yesterday and to @goodybags for today.

I forgot to check before breakfast yesterday, very busy day as fiancé and I went on a day trip to Dublin with some friends. Lots of walking but I also ate more than usual (and more carbs than usual) including a chocolate muffin at the airport at just after 10pm. Didn't get home till about 2am and didn't manage to sleep in much this morning (though only just got up properly). So I'm not too surprised to get 6.8 today
 
Morning everyone, it was a 5.2 for me on yet another sunny morning.

Have a good day everyone and stay well.
.
 
Congrats to all todays HSers

4.1 for me today. No insulin with breakfast but a walk uphill for a coffee with younger daughter who is visiting. Levels have gone up with the walk, not down like i expected.

Cinema this afternoon to watch Lee.

@ColinUK i was surprised at the amount of people leaving their seats when we saw Tina last week. Its very distracting.
 
Morning and congrats to HSs.
Anyone looking at the number of Stars I have given out this morning would think I am building a Galaxy or at least a minor constellation.
Sure someone with more planetary knowledge will post saying my dimensional perspective is all wrong.
 
Oh, a plethora of HS! I can't keep up, well done everyone!
A 6.6 first thing for me and I have just got back from my sisters 80th birthday celebrations at a local carvery.
I wonder what my BG will be tomorrow :confused:?
 
5.3

Close but no cigar.
 
4.1 and a night with the low alarm going off every hour the line showing low 4s all night.
 
Good morning folks, 6.2 on this chilly, but lovely morning.

We have sunshine forecast for everyday this week! And to that end we’re off into the lakes for the day. We avoid it during the summer holidays so this is our foray for a while. We’re going to explore the only true lake, Bassenthwaite Lake, the others are meres or waters, it’s fairly close to us, 40 minutes or so, and we haven’t been for years and we definitely haven’t done much walking in that area. Looking forward to testing out my back/hip/pelvis. It hasn’t had a good workout for quite sometime. I’m back at the osteopath on Wednesday so if by any chance I overdo it I’ve already got an appointment! Fingers crossed please.

Have a Happy Monday.
 
Good morning 4.2 then skipped up to 5.9
A few lows in the night Inc a trip into the low 3’s

I did originally have an appointment at audiology department this morning, but i dropped into them over the weekend to see if it could be re-scheduled as it’s not really good for me to take time off work this morning, they were more than willing to do this and have requested a weekend appointment (they are a 7 day a week department anyway)

Happy Monday everyone 😎
 
Morning and a 4.9 and stayed lowish during night after a correction before bed.I know I am trying to avoid that but picking my wife up from the airport disrupted my normal routine quite a bit so had to split tea into a series of snacks including some toast about 9pm which threw me a little.
Anyway should be much more like normal this week so will probably be a better opportunity to continue my non bolus experiment.
Also a new sensor tonight so see if that makes a difference.
Have a god week all and picking are other two dogs up at 0930 so that will be a lovely start to the week
