Group 7-day waking average?

7.4 for me wasn't too bad given that they were above 11 yesterday evening, due to taking too many JBs and biscuits, as I had another hypo. I've been adjusting my morning basal, and the morning dose is still a tad high.

Also, I've been under a lot of tension and, as a result, had a stiff neck and shoulders which stops' me from normal pastimes and jobs.

I, sometimes, think that I'm coming apart at the seams.

I went for a twenty-minute walk to see my CPN and, surprise, she wasn't at work; I haven't seen her in months now and keep trying to contact her and the team before I finally crack.

But it's a beautiful day and I should be grateful.
 
Evening all - sorry didn't have time to post this morning, though what the heck I was doing for 3.5 hours between getting up and before going out I can't recall. Anyway it's been the most glorious day today, except for a cold wind.

6.4 at 08:20. Went up to 7.1 almost as soon as my feet touched the floor to dash to the bathroom.

Met my friend for lunch in a nice restaurant. Both had mussels (starter size), new potatoes to share, bread was included and I had a small glass of wine. My friend had ice cream and we both had Americanos. We split the bill and it came to £24.40 each. It is now getting expensive to lunch out round here. We used to have lunch for somewhere round £12 - £13 each. Now even going to a fairly plain cafe without going potty will set us back around £20 each. We both said we can't do this every week. I don't mind inviting her to our house, ditto what she thinks and providing something easy is better, but the trouble is she lives a fair way the other side of town 2 bus rides away. Julian is a sweetie and will do a taxi service, but it is asking a lot of him. After doing some errands/minor shopping in town we had a cup of tea each in a cafe and even that was £7 total.

Home now for fish and chips - not takeaway. Me on the computer, whilst J is mending our wedding album which has fallen apart with age!!!

Have a happy evening all!
 
6.5 this morning for me.

Another good day for weather and we went out to the Rope Bridge (Carrick a Rede) where I somehow managed to cross it despite a low of 3.1 :(, the graph shows the point I went over the bridge !

Congratulations @Martin.A on your HS!
 
Good moaning! 3.7 Nd gentle rise after waking groggy 3.3. Quite a few LGEs! Now Phantom Pain starting! ☹️ I freckon the low was the 3 Wagu sausages I had for supper - only 3.3gm CHO per 100gm. Sadly very little flavour making tjem poor value!
.
Fortunately no appointments till Tuesday as Patient Transport make it stressful for the patient patient. Then then one silly o'clock and two early doors in a row.

Broken cloud and not raining.

Good morning everyone

BG 5.1

Yesterday was glorious weather wise. My friend and I went to Lytham and walked back. He needed to talk. Quite upset. His wife left him a while back and he is heart broken. The walk was good and we both enjoyed it.

My wife will still not leave the house. Such fear. Sad.

Today I'd better start getting songs together and practicing as I am leading worship next Thursday evening.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Didn't get around to posting yesterday as very busy day trying to finish up work before I'm off now for wedding and honeymoon, but it was a second 5.2 in a row. Sadly not a HS today for a triplet, it was 5.5. Finished all my craft bits for the wedding yesterday except I still need to stick the table plan bits on the board (couldn't find my sticky tabs yesterday, may have to pop to pick up some more today if I don't locate them).
 
5.4

Yesterday was ok. Today I’ve got therapy this AM. After that I’ll see what I feel like doing.
 
GoodMorning I’m joining @42istheanswer with a HS today
even though yours (was yesterday) :star:@42istheanswer :party: congrats anyway

I’m fasting so I can’t even have a cup of tea to celebrate this morning - the Vampires have demanded half an arm full today - my appointed time is not actually until 09.37 🙄 I’m thinking I might just get there early & just chance it, as I can hear volcanic noises coming from my very empty stomach this morning, I can’t remember who requested todays bloods, but wanted this one to be full bloods and fasting ,rather than the Hba1c I actually had early last week.

I did drop to 3.9 (finger prick test actually said it was 3.8) shortly after I first woke up in the early hours
thought it best to pop 2 JB’s (to stave off hypo) I shall be honest and declare that to the Phlebotomist and :thankyou: it’s ok.

Have a Fabulously Fantastic Friday everyone 😎

Bora dah.5.1 on our last full day in Welsh Wales. It’s been great for my BGs. Also could be I’m always more relaxed on holiday, no worrying about kids, well I do but I can’t do anything about it when I’m away, no feeding/ babysitting the hordes etc. back to it tomorrow. All good things must come to an end.

Yesterday was a great day. Up and at it early doors to catch the dolphins. An hour before high tide is the best time to see them if they’re around. It’s a short window, September to November and then they go elsewhere. Parked in the village and walked to the headland, already lots of folk there. Walked towards the cliffs and Mr Eggy shouted, they’re there! And so they were! We got talking to a local couple who we were very lucky for first timers, sometimes they are there all day and never see any. What a sight. The Risso’s are as big as an orca about 10-12 foot long. They live up to 30 years and they don’t look anything like Flipper! But strangely cute. Mr Eggy managed to get some decent shots, even though they were quite a way out. We stayed about two hours in all on the headland, beautiful day but like @PattiEvans a very cold wind. We walked back to the village and had our picnic on some rocks overlooking a calmer bit of sea. It was stunning. What a great day we had.
Today we’re off to Portmerian for a look around and have booked afternoon tea in the hotel. Best be good, it wasn’t cheap, I’ll be expecting doggy bags!

Yesterday’s photos. The dolphin ones are Mr Eggy’s, the rest are mine.

Have a fab Friday.

Morning all. New sensor says 7.2, finger prick 6.8 so much better than the last one. Older daughter is coming round today to pick up a parcel she had delivered to us for her husband's birthday. Other than that, just some cleaning and vaccuuming to do and a ham joint to cook. If the weather stays dry, i might mow the lawn.

I forgot to tell you lovely lot, i handed my notice in a few days ago. I just can't do it any more. Hubby said we'll be ok but i'm going to leave it until after Christmas then if i'm getting bored or missing working, i'll get a part time job with just a few hours. Somewhere i can go, do the job and come home without any stress.

Congrats to @goodybags and @42istheanswer on the HS.

@eggyg fantastic photos! Enjoy your last day.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning all - I'm too embarrassed to say what my waking BG was but suffice to say it was very high from scoffing biscuits at bedtime. My friend who came last week brought us some delicious shortbreads which obviously I shouldn't even entertain having, but I did. Seems even more stupid when I went out for afternoon tea with my Mum and all I had was a tiny end of her delicious orange, raspberry polenta cake. Oh well - today is a new day. Hopefully soon my prescription will come through for the second insulin that I'm going to take before my bedtime meal - I think that will make me more focussed with late night snacking (I hope!).

Today I'm meeting my gardening course friends back at Lowther Castle where it all started. We'll have some chat time in the cafe and then go around the grounds which will make us all reminisce about what we were doing there this time last year. Then this evening I'm going down to Kendal to see Dr Louise Newson (Menopause Doctor) talk. She's doing a tour at the moment and it has coincided with Panorama doing a very slanderous piece on her clinic which in my (and thousands of others) opinion is incredibly one-sided and doesn't touch on the fact that she is the person who has opened up the whole conversation over menopause and thousands have been helped by her and other specialists because it has been nigh on impossible to have this discussed with your NHS GP. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt and the talk itself, I think, will be much more about the menopause itself than medication/treatment for it.

@BobbleHat I hope your last day at work isn't too emotional. I gather from your posts that you're a midwife? I used to be a Maternity Support Worker and loved it, but the nights got the better of me and I stopped about 6 years ago. What is your new job?

@eggyg those dolphin shots are amazing - the dolphins look like they're smiling 🙂 I went to Portmerion once - such an unusual place.

@42istheanswer How exciting that you're getting married - I hope you have a lovely day.

and finally @freesia I bet that is a huge relief for you and you will feel a big weight off your shoulders.

Have a good day everyone xxx

Morning and a 7.7 for myself but again a nice line and lovely sleep.
Lovely day yesterday with a visit to a Cheese Factory which I regularly pass and a trip to the cafe which of course had to have a Cheese Toastie.My wife says I have no imagination but bought lovely selection of cheeses to bring home.
Then a trip to Lucas gelato place in Chester which I have been really keen to visit.Such a nice Street in Chester and spent time talking to owner about how they make the gelato and he was really nice and you could tell how much he loved his work and so happy he is doing well.
Been such a nice week and deciding where to go today.
 
Well done to @goodybags and @42istheanswer on those readings. It was a 5.5 for me today. 🙂
Just for a laff, this morning I asked Alexa how many shopping days until Christmas. Poor misguided piece of technology said 26! 😱 Ask yours and see what it says. Anyways the term is out of date now, as you can shop 24/7/365(6) on line.
