Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning folks, 5.2 this morning.

It can be difficult for me to test regularly because the tissue in my fingers are not puffy enough and when I press the tissue just doesn't spring back like it used to. It also hurts if I do the prick test when its like this. I generally wait for it be be more cushioned for the prick but sometimes I can find a finger that responds a little better than the others. Its an age thing I think, I have mentioned to the doc a couple of times but she doesn't seem to offer any advice other than drink more water, which does not always resolve the prob.

Any way happy with the results today, but its difficult for me to know whats happening every day so I can tell when it has stabilised and also check its not going too low with the flozin med.

Have a great day all, hope everyone is doing well and ....... Happy Halloween FemalePumpkin.jpg
 
It was a 8.5 for me this morning.Shouldnthave had that handful of pecan nuts before bed.Lovely sunny day up north Sitting in tea room garden having a coffee, listening to Bob Segar on me earbuds .Take dog for his hair cut just now.Trying to keep him clean Enjoy your day people
 
Very late posting had a horrible day yesterday we took our rag doll cat to the vets daughter found a small lump
under her breast bone, we thought it might be a cyst but the vet thinks its cancer, she has given her some antibiotics but say if it doesn't go down its cancer were obviously really worried and hoping the vet is wrong she's 9 years old, trying to keep positive.
 
What! Have you moved from Cumbria? Just 20 miles north and it’s mizzling, cloudy, and just generally yuk! Skiddaw is no where to be seen this morning.
We had back to back sun all day! You need to come here on holiday xxx
 
Pinch Punch and all that - 8.2 this morning. Off to my volunteer gardening today (usually on a Wednesday). I could really have done with staying in bed ZzZzZ
 
Morning and a 6.7 with another flat line overnight.
Lovely poem Northerner and you are first up again.
As our dogs go mad when the kids knock on the door at Halloween my wife came up with the idea of cordoning off our driveway and setting up a Halloween scene so that the visitors can participate but without constantly getting our dogs barking.
It was so quiet we were not sure if we had visitors but when we took the dogs out last thing I checked the 3 buckets of Treats were empty so them 2 legged mice had been active.
My wife had made a witches broom with twigs etc and that was left so they only acted like “ locusts” with the sweets and chocolate lol
Have a good w/ end
 
Morning all ! A 6.4 first thing...
I shall be AWOL for the next fortnight as we set sail for far off lands (well the Med 🙂 ) to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary! <3. The girl needs a medal for putting up with me for 50 years and some.
Have a blessed weekend,
Snowwy.
 
Morning all. 10.5 here. Whenever isn’t my glucose unpredictable? Never!

Off to Cardigan today to pick up tickets for a music festival that’s going on all weekend. I can only go on Saturday night, but I’m really looking forward to it. My bezzie’s renting a very cute cottage near the town so I’ve got a sofa to crash on if I can’t face the drive home late Sat night. And it’s meant to be dry all weekend! (Pacamac at the ready, tho. This is West Wales after all.)

Good morning everyone

BG 5.4

A quiet day planned

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning all. Had a bit of a lie in and been rewarded with a 5.2!
Haven’t managed a lie in because of the new bed, laid in ‘cos I is cream crackered after tossing and turning most of the night! Insomnia is pants!

Anyhoo, we’re on the countdown to the end of our grandparentity leave. Youngest back at work today but the girls are in nursery, Zara goes on a Friday anyways 9-3, but Eden starts today, she has had a couple of settling in sessions and they appear to have gone ok. Today is a long day though, 8.30-5pm. She’ll have two tired little girls tonight. We will share the Tuesdays and Wednesdays with the other grandparents so just one day a week. Tuesday next week, just Eden, as Zara goes to nursery Tuesdays too. Breaking us in gently!

Must get cracking with sorting out this house, furniture still in the wrong place, because of the new bed delivery, and the Halloween party. Decorations to pack away away until next year. And just a general tidying up required after having the hordes round the last couple of days. My life is so exciting! 😉

Sorry your daughter isn’t feel so well @TinaD, it must be such a worry for you all.
Enjoy your cruise @Snowwy and congratulations on your Golden Wedding anniversary.

Have a fab Friday folks.

Hell no! I can’t stand clutter! I wouldn’t be surprised if my middle daughter did though! 😳 It has been known in October! She doesn’t get it from me. I’m a minimalist she’s a maximalist! :rofl:
