Group 7-day waking average?

Morning a 5.6 and another nice line overnight.
Had a slice of toast before bed as was 6 and have been going a bit lower despite less insulin but stayed in range and a good sleep.
Eggy talking of beds my wife ordered a new mattress from Amazon for guest bedroom after my son and GF built the bed which had been there since we decorated.
I am trying to post this whilst Hetty Barker ( for obvious reasons) is going mad after seeing pumpkins been fed to !ions at London Zoo and now an article about dog walkers.
Any animals on screen or puppets like Meerkats has her running up to the TV screen barking and running around the back of the TV expecting them to come out the back.
Anyway off to Welsh hills today to Denbigh/Ruthin/Corwen which is a lovely run so enjoy today and must admit I am looking forward to the macro stuff on the budget even if not the micro.

Silly o'clock Podiatry this morning.

Broken cloud. Beware of zombies this evening particularly if misty/foggy!

Opps, realised I am a day early. Someone texted me "Scary day today" and I made the wrong assumption! They were talking about the budget as they are one of the people who want a brilliant NHS, excellent schools, etc. but don't want to pay for them! :(
 
5.8 for me.

I have the excitement that is NHS mandatory Moving and Handling training today. I can barely contain my excitement (but I will do so, in a way that maintains good posture and spine health!)

Hope everyone has a more exciting day than me (I feel this won't be difficult!)
 
Had a rough few days, still, good morning everyone

BG 5.1 (yesterday morning going back 4.8, 5.1, 4.8, 5.2)

Today nothing planned

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Good morning - 6.2

Have a great day everyone.
 
Make room on the 5.2 step for me please!

One of the good things about leaving Nursing & Midwifery is no more Manual Handling Days - Enjoy!
 
Good morning 5.3 today

Congrats on HS @Grannylorraine & @ColinUK Plus Martin.A (on yesterday’s HS) :star:

it’s another tough week at work this week for me which just so frustrating

Question, does anyone else drink the daily greens supplement ?
we started buying HUEL
TBH actually tasted quite palatable but we decided it was to expensive
so on the second month cancelled the subscription
I’ve also tried Essential Greens from Protein Works but decided it tastes quite disgusting 🙄 not that I’ve ever drunk Pond Water but that’s kind of how I would imagine it to taste 😉 any recommendations gratefully accepted thanks :thankyou:


Have a Wonderfully Wacky Wednesday (was actually thinking of maybe posting the one they use at the factory where Mrs @goodybags works but far blue to publish here) :rofl:

Morning All - 8.2 this morning. My TIR is really improving from my Novorapid with the evening meal. Had a great catchup with @eggyg yesterday. It was definitely speed dating as we managed to squeeze it in to 2.5 hours instead of our usual 4-5! All extremely useful and the big thing I learnt from it is that it will take time to learn how my own body works with different foods - obvious I know but it's always so easy to compare oneself to others. I've got my first guest in our self catering cottage here today so I've already been up there and moved the mouse traps and will spend the morning doing the finishing touches. Hope she likes it and gives me a nice review. Off for a Scar Work session first which I haven't had for ages so that will be good - haven't had breakfast yet and thinking about putting it off till afterwards as she'll obviously be working on my abdomen ... Have a good day everyone. Here's the obligatory selfie from our trip out yesterday.

What a gorgeous pair! You've heard of The Three Degrees, well Jo and I are The Three Cs! When will I see you again? :rofl:
 
Well done to today's HSs. I was 5.7 first thing this am. 🙂

Not tried any of the greens but not a fan of Huel at all. My go to is Protein Works for shakes and Grenade for bars.
 
Morning 🙂 6.4 for me today 🙂 Apologies for being a bit AWOL recently, I have been distracted by a skin cancer that appeared on my finger some time ago and waiting for an operation to remove it. I'd originally noticed it at the start of the pandemic, but thought it was wart and certainly wasn't going to bother the doctor with that at that time. Over the past year it changed appearance and I finally got it looked at 🙂 NHS have been pretty good with referral, biopsy, pre-op and now finally, yesterday I had the op to remove it (also involved a skin graft, hence the forearm dressing) 🙂 Main worry for me is that it's the index finger of my left hand - and I'm left-handed! 😱 Should find out in a few weeks if they got everything, so fingers crossed - it was a squamous cell carcinoma, which has a small chance of spreading.

Now a few weeks of healing and doing nowt - not even the washing up! 🙂
