Group 7-day waking average?

Morning everyone, it’s a happy 5.3 for me today on yet another grey day, is the sun ever going to shine again?

Have a great day everyone and stay well.

Morning all

Happy Friday everyone!

A 5.1 for me when the alarm went off. 5.4 after the 9 min ‘snooze’ when I hauled myself out from under the duvet. So somewhere in between I missed a fleeting HS.
 
Morning All - 6.5 which I'm pleased with. New Novpen arrived yesterday but annoyingly they've sent it with a vial of insulin instead of cartridges. Luckily I've still got a few of the disposable pens. My Grandpuppy has come to stay with my son & daughter-in-law for the weekend. Other two dogs are being very good with him although the Scottie is making it clear she likes her own space :D I've got another guest coming to stay in our little cottage here today, for 3 nights this time so I'm busy being Mrs Mop. Then a full on birthday weekend for my brother - we're going to the theatre in Penrith to see a Simon & Garfunkel tribute type show tomorrow with my daughter so should be fun, then roast lamb and all the trimmings on Sunday. Have a lovely weekend everyone xxx

Morning all. 4.9, had a stretch and must have dozed back off as next thing it was 3.8. Oops!
 
Forgive the second morning post but I have to share! I ordered new jeans and they arrived. Wasn’t sure of my size anymore but delighted that I’m down from a 38” waist to a far from snug 34”

Means I’ll have to take trousers to a tailor for alternations!
 
Forgot to post my reading of a 6.2 earlier. 😳

Good morning everyone

BG 5.0

Not much fun here at the moment. I am sure you all can guess why.

Have great day today whatever you are doing
 
6.2 this morning after another night of an alarm at 3.9, once the extra carbs took effect they held me around 6 for the rest of the night.

My mind is still churning about my upcoming c-peptide test and whether the consultant will consider I am T1 or not. I really wish I had left well alone as my DSN was more than happy to treat me as T1 and had even written to my GP to say that I was.

Take care everyone!
 
And! And! I just popped on my favourite ever T-shirt and it almost fits again!
It’s just a plain black tshirt. Looks like nothing special. Except it’s Armani and I bought it when I was 21. It still looks as good as new and it’s 36 years old!

Well done! Its lovely when that happens. It makes you feel really excited.

Tell me, did you ever get your ear pierced with the pearl drop? I thought about it when i saw Nikita on Strictly. He has one.
 
8.7 here after another early start. A delivery came for our pussycat in the form of a new litter tray (I thought it needed a new one, as the old one was years old!).

I cleared a long-standing debt that had been hanging around my neck for long enough. A weight gone, I am now debt-free, the first time in 25 years!

Ah what a cutie. Have a lovely weekend with the family. I’m having a lovely weekend without mine! :rofl:

I did get my ear pierced but never found a pearl drop I liked. Also never really settled down with the piercing so ended up taking it out and letting the hole close up.
 
Good morning! Joining @khskel on the 5.8 step today.

Another early start as Wheelchair Services coming between 8:00 and 18:00. I really feel this ten-hour window is unnecessary and disrespectful to patients! Was speaking to another about this yesterday and they said when they got a leg it took them 12-weeks to get a foot-plate and they turned up with one for the wrong wheelchair.

Very grey!

Apologies @khskel when I opened the forum today it said your 5.8 was today but then later I saw your BG for today so looked back to see today had become yesterday. I have this occasionally in this site where it seems confused between yesterday/today/tomorrow - seeing posts for tomorrow is particularly confusing! I know @eggyg has seen this as well!
 
5.5 For me
 
Was a 5.9 for me this morning.Finishing my coffee in Costas before I go to Mark's and Spencer for the highlight of my week .Food shopping..Might need to do a bank before I go in They are putting there prices up every week.40 p on two boiled eggs and spinach leaves that I normally have at dinner time with olives corned beef and a bit cheese This low carb diets costing a bleeding fortune If there's no yellow labels on the prepared salad dishes be kicking them into touch.Be eating grass just now .Have fun people
