Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 🙂 6.0 here.

The puppy's doing great @freesia. I think it helps having an older dog to show her the ropes- here they are posing for a pic.

Is that Gwen, your other dog?
 
Morning a 4.7 for me and a 6 going to bed and a lovely line overnight.
Explained all by a trip to dentist for a filling in afternoon so only soft food so stuck to soup and a small bit of quiche ( so not many carbs) and kept my BG at lowest evening level in ages.
Wet start but not going too far and has been a quiet week and booked a night away in Shropshire next week.

Cutest photo of the day!
 
GoodMorning a Len from me today

My GP phoned yesterday, we went through my blood results & meds, again he said he felt I’m not far away from no longer needing insulin, I’m not so sure on that
but will see what the consultant at hospital says.

My next appointment has come through for the EYE clinic (next Monday)
following the implant I had last week they said I will need to have a check up after a fortnight so that one was expected
Also next week I've appointment with Diabetic Consultant at the hospital
I think that appointment was originally requested about 6 months ago when my HbA1c had shot up to to 76 but now with it being down to 48 things are different,

was thinking if I could keep my HbA1c at a under 50 sort of levels
and not be taking Insulin that would be something to be proud of.

Today I’m on a day off from work
headed to Gym for Swim and use the spa shortly

Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone 😎

Thank you for asking x
It's going well -only 2 days in but my new colleagues seem lovely. I was in clinic all day yesterday and met some of my caseload, who all seemed lovely too. I can't even say how much better it it is to have a 10 minute commute over a 90 minute one! I've even hoping to be able to reintroduce swimming to my week, as I've overhauled my eating since diagnosis but really do need to get more active. I've always loved swimming and I drive past the pool on my way home now so no excuses!

Sorry, missed posting yesterday. I'd left my monitor and lancets downstairs and was off to work before I remembered.

6.2 for me and a day off. I'm going to be dying my hair. I keep thinking I should go grey gracefully but then I don't and go back to my usual bright red!!

Have a good day everyone!
 
Had another disturbed night with a series of weird cat themed dreams. One I can remember clearly was that I was assembling an Aifix model of a WW1 fighter plane. (I haven’t done any of that for more than 65 years!) Unfortunately, I accidently knocked some pieces on the floor and before you could say “Sopwith Camel” the cat had pounced on them and devoured them. So, I never got to see the final outcome of my work. :(

Lots of Freudian symbolism there then, I suspect? 😱 Anyone who remembers Herbert Lom in the TV series “The Human Jungle” would know that Dr Corder would have had me sorted out in no time at all. :rofl:

Anyhow, with all that, I managed to produce a 5.3 this morning.

Have a good day everyone.

5.7 for me on a dull but dry Berkshire morning, unlike yesterday when it rained so hard at one point that we lost our satellite signal. My wife, who walks a dog for a 90-year-old lady after work on Tuesdays, arrived home soaking wet. At least we're not in Florida, but a friend of my wife is and she and her husband have already had to quit their holiday accommodation. Hopefully we'll hear from them later and they'll tell us they're safe.

Yes, I remember watching The Human Jungle @MeeTooTeeTo back in the day when there were only 2 TV channels, and both in B&W. Herbert Lom also starred alongside Kenneth More and Lauren Bacall in one of my all-time favourite movies - North West Frontier.

Fine this morning after feeling pretty lousy most of yesterday, all due to an IBS flare-up. Fortunately it doesn't happen very often these days.

Hope everyone has a decent Wednesday.
 
10.1, dropping to 9.4 this a.m. Up early this morning as we have a visit from my care coordinatinator and CB from the CAB office coming today to help with the PiP forms.

I used to live in Shropshire: lovely County!
 
Morning all and 7.2 for me.

Got my latest royalty statement yesterday. 0.04 pence per stream or thereabouts. We'll be rich before we know it. To give it some context a band can make more from selling one vinyl album than 40000 streams.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Good morning, all. It's a grey morning here, but I'm happy with a 5.6 today.

Have a good day everyone and stay safe.

PIP is a nightmare. Hopefully the CAB will help. And focus on your worst day and what you can’t do rather than what you can do on your average day.

Hi Cliff,yes is lovely and relatively unknown by many.We live in Cheshire so very close and I travel there at least once a week and know it very well.
We stayed at this place near Bridgenorth once before and had to laugh as all the Rooms had Swings In and the inevitable “ Swingers” reference.
Our room door lock got broken so they moved us to the Honeymoon Suite so you can imagine the teasing when we told everyone we had to move to a room with a Bigger Swing.
The food was lovely so we are going back but this time without any dogs.
 
Morning all - blue sky and grey cloud. Goodness only knows what it will do.

7.0 this morning, not too bad after treating a lingering hypo between 2 and 2:30 am. Usually the alarm on the PDM doesn't wake me. It did last night and I was terrified it would wake Julian who was finally getting some sleep. I think the Antibiotics are kicking in for him now.

Making lamb stuffed aubergines today and then meeting friends in the local as usual on a Weds. That's if J feels up to it.

Finally got to watch Bake Off right the way through last night as J has recorded the whole series on our (ageing) HDD recorder. Have been trying to watch on catch up, but More 4 is a nightmare. As soon as the adverts kick in our reasonably new Samsung Smart TV goes all peculiar and we have to switch it on and off umpteen times and never really get it to work properly. Episode 2 I saw the signature challenge and then caught the showstopper on repeat on Saturday by chance, but totally missed the technical challenge. I agree this crop of bakers are fab!

Bloden, the doggies are lovely! I want one!

@Martin.A hope you feel better soon.

@Gwynn, sorry to hear your wife is back to square 1.

Take care all... have a super Wednesday.
 
Oh... just got a message from the NHS app saying my Orthopedic appointment for 9th December has been cancelled. I knew nothing about this appointment. I've been waiting over a year to see someone about the arthritis in my knee. The message also said "you will receive another appointment if we still need to see you!" WHAT?

Very funny! Bridgnorth is lovely - and of course there's so much to see and do around there and Ironbridge, especially Blists Hill. I used to live in Cressage, near Much Wenlock.
