Group 7-day waking average?

8.0 today - no surprise as found my husband's hidden Tony's Chocolonely chocolate last night (I say hidden - he must think I'm a child as all I had to do was reach up and look in a basket in the top of the cupboard, and there it was!). Busy day yesterday with the name ceremony of the new rib for the Patterdale Mountain Rescue. Mark has joined the team so it was a lovely chance to get to meet them all. One lovely chap had been doing it for the last 50 years! They have a boat because they also do the boat rescues on Ullswater and use it to get to the inaccessible side of the lake and mountains above. Last night we had a quiz at our local pub and made a team with two other couples who we've met since moving up here so that was great fun. We came second and won £20! Wet here today so I'm staying cosy inside. Mark is off with the local farmers doing a gathering up on the tops so will be very soggy when he gets home later but no doubt with lots of stories to tell. Have a good day everyone xxx
 
09:29 BS 5.2 :D Nice HS & thought of you lovely lot so, posting now JUST after a breakfast fry up.

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Can’t remember when I last posted on here but, it was before The Olympics? 😳 Which I watched, of course! <3:D

I’ve had a pretty bad summer this year as I was troubled by the double whammy bouts of hayfever/asthma combo that left me wheezing in bed for about 10 days two more times in wet, warm & under loads of cloud cover so, a total of three times this summer! Hopefully, no more as it’s coming into the Autumn/Winter season now? 😱

Read a ton of books & watched loads of cdrama when bed ridden & not moving much because breathing was so bad! 🙄

Another thing of note that happened today, that made me think of you lot as I wanted to post it, is FINALLY after 14 months of not being able to eat baked beans I ate a small 200g tin of it with my breakfast fry up, in the oven in my case, just now with sausages, veg roll, hash browns & tea!

I don’t know if I posted this last year but, on that last day of my hospital stay back in July I HAD to eat a lunch of baked potato with baked beans & have insulin before being discharged! I didn’t really want to eat at all so, forced it down a bit at a time with the beans especially, tasting more & more disgusting to me in my mind! By the time I finished it I honestly thought I could NEVER stand eating it again!

Indeed that was the case in this last year as I tried a few times at the start & after a mouthful I had to dump them so, stopped trying. But, suddenly 14 months later I fancied some out of the blue & was understandably, I think, a bit hesitant to try them again so, ordered a small 200g tin of Heinz beans in this week’s shopping to give it a go? Even so, I left it until the end of the week to try it! 🙄

Phew! They tasted normal to me so, that last lingering bit of psychological trauma from my hospital stay HAS healed & I CAN eat beans again! 🙂
 
Morning all - it's still windy, but nothing like yesterday. It's overcast but not raining at the moment.

6.6 this morning, but FOTF took it up into the 8s before I corrected. I didn't think I'd have to be constantly correcting with HCL.

Julian said the drive home yesterday in the wind and rain was horrible, but I'm afraid I dozed on and off all the way home, couldn't keep my eyes open. Probably due to high BGs. I find it really difficult to guess how many carbs are in some things and our friends don't help a lot as they're a bit clueless about how important it is to me. So all I can do is take wild guesses and keep correcting. Having said that, the food was really delicious and the hospitality was faultless.

Hello and welcome back @Lanny

Lovely photos @eggyg ! Keep em coming.

Not much on the calendar today, except a face to face appointment with my own GP - first since lockdown! Something to do with the 24 hr heart monitor I had on a while back. We shall see.

Have a good one everyone.
 
Good morning 5.3

@Martin.A that must’ve been a shock for your wife, it’s good job and relief that she had locked the doors

I’ve been to dentist this morning only went for a routine check up, but ended up having a filling, in a wisdom tooth (which I didn’t realise I needed) but was in done and back home in an hour,
as I post I’m relaxed with a cuppa in the conservatory like most places cold and wet outside

over the weekend I downloaded Gluroo for my phone, I’m looking to get a smart watch and will want to see readings on there also, I like the way with Gluroo sugars are displayed on the top of phone and home screen of phone (I’m sure there are other apps that can do similar) thinking when I tried the DexcomOne+ it does that also but not on the Libra Link app

I’ve DMO eye clinic appointment this afternoon, look forward to seeing what the results are and how things have progressed since my last treatment (a month ago)
I don’t usually look forward to eye treatment, but I want to speak to GP about possibly of moving me to the full dose of Mounjaro plus think I need a different prescription on my glasses anyway.

Happy Monday everyone 😎

Have a good day everyone and stay well.

Her car has an autolock option, which she has set to 'on'. You have to manually unlock the passenger doors to let someone get in.

Thats lucky. What a horrible shock. I hope she's ok now.

Don't be too despondent, morning numbers are often the last to come down and you are only a week into making changes and it takes the body a while to adjust. Bringing levels down slowly is better as there is less chance of issues with your eyes and nerves from a rapid drop.
Can't say about the difference between the two readings other than they measure something different and each have a permissible variation.

Thank you, that's really helpful to know. I've noticed my morning numbers take a while to come down. I'm 2 hours post breakfast and a comfortable 6 now.
 
6.7 for myself. I woke up to persistent rain, which cleared up an hour later; it's only threatening now.

I've been immersing myself in paperwork today, trying to find a couple of mislaid letters which were, eventually, found in the most unlikely places I feel a little better now.

I picked up my guitar at lunch and warmed up a little. My guitar tutor reckons I've become proficient in recent months, I have other thoughts on this subject; I keep on trying and have not given up the ghost just yet.
 
Late on parade with a 6.1 🙂
 
Good morning everyone. First up it seems

BG 5.3 again dancing round that elusive HS

Yesterday went well and then suddenly bad. Great, quiet day, a really good tea and then I played a new song for my friend who was totally, ad surprisigly critical. I felt quite upset by the comments.

Today I will look into the comments made and decide what to do, but I'm not ferling very upbeat about it.

That's the trouble with creativity. I may like it (whatever Ihave created). Others may appreciate it, but some will not like it. That's just normal human stuff. I thik my expecatios were stupidly high and got dashed.

Good morning. 7.4 - attributing it to a poor night.

Yesterday spent organising for trip to Yorkshire. 5.5 hours drive. Not looking forward to it. I was pleased to see that the forecast for today was much better than yesterday when the local highway drains were not coping with the downpour. Then I looked again - once I get to Manchester the weather looks dire. Hopefully I can sort out the house clearance and be home on Thursday. Car full of tools, cleaning equipment, and picnic food/drink - no "greasy spoons" for me.

Was mildly amused to get a whining e-mail from a dim Yorkshire dwelling cousin, some 8 years my junior, who, after "crying the poor tale" over his health and impoverishment accused me of being "arrogant and entitled". I was pleased in my courteous response to plead guilty to arrogance but to deny entitlement. Then I pointed out shortly the expense occasioned to the estate by his unauthorised and injudicious activities. Fortunately he is on holiday this week so cannot attend to help - thank God for small mercies.

Hope everyone has a good few days while I am in the frozen North.
 
Morning….. I think. It cold, wet and dark.
8.7. Have a good day.
 
6.1 for me.

Dreary start today but at least the heating has come on - our thermostat leaves a bit to be desired!

Nothing exciting for me, just hopes for a not too many home visits in our visits book. Only 4 shifts left before I leave and trying to stay mentally present until I go!
