Group 7-day waking average?

Morning an 8.3 after a bit of DP but spent most of night in 7s so happy enough.
Taken dogs out but only short walk as weather not nice.
Had good day yesterday involving taking lots of hedge cuttings to tip after gardener spent 5 hours trimming and strumming our front greenery.
Also went to a residents meeting at local Town Hall last night to try and oppose a series on Housing developments and it was a good turnout.Have never been to one before and always been happy to have a balanced approach to such plans and never had the greatest faith in local Council and/ or Groups which I often thought attract a certain type of individual to which I don’t naturally like to get involved with.
But apart from one individual who was on a promoting a very personal agenda I was impressed with the balanced arguments and concerns expressed by many at the Meeting so May seek to get involved.
Any way quite enthused about the challenge ahead.

Morning all. 6.1.
Early start, not because I have to but I’ve been awake since 4.30. The old internal monologue was at it again! Mother in law has taken a turn for the worse. She was responding well to antibiotics and seemed positively chirpy on Monday. The hospital even said she could be discharged in a couple of days. Mr Eggy took her iPad in and she remembered her password and was happily playing solitaire. He also took some photos in of the family, and her and her sister spent all of the visiting time looking through them. Yesterday she was just sleeping, refusing to eat or drink and pulled her catheter out. The delirium team were called in at the weekend, which in itself is concerning, she’s now on a drip and the nursing staff are “worried” about her. Of course, I consulted Dr Google and there’s nothing they can give her for delirium just keep her hydrated and try and get her to move about, the prognosis isn’t great. Mr Eggy is expecting the worse. I’ve got up as my tossing and turning woke him so his internal monologue was turned on, hopefully he’ll get some sleep now.
Plans up in the air, as you can imagine, no childcare today but tomorrow we do. Youngest daughter putting her house on the market, agent coming to take photos tomorrow so she needs the girls out of the way and then at 2pm they’re going to view yet another house. Middle daughter and baby and maybe eldest granddaughter, coming for lunch tomorrow so I’m going to throw together a lasagne after I’ve done a pile of ironing. Need to keep myself busy and and everyone fed.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.

6.6 this morning.
Had a lovely day yesterday at Winter Wonderland of all places. Friend wanted to see the “circus” there so we went.
Daytime the place was actually rather delightful. Circus was peculiar but kinda fun.
Today I’ve Robin Hood at the Palladium which I’m expecting will be a visually spectacular panto.

Morning all, 4.7 here. Busy morning, have a telephone Diabetes review with the surgery nurse at 8.40, hope she calls on time (she normally does) because then I’m driving to Hughenden to meet a friend for coffee, walk, and Christmas present swap.
I really don’t have anything to discuss with the nurse, I had my bloods and toe tickle a week ago, and have looked up all the results on line. Only thing I want to talk to her about is swapping my prescription over to the Libre 2+. Which she probably won’t have a clue about as she mainly deals with people who aren’t on CGMs, but provided she can tick the right box we should be OK.

9.7 this morning. A little high still but it was 9.5 at bedtime so 10U of Levemir seems to be about right for basal.
For the first time in ages I got up nice and early, had a shower and treated myself to a really nice shave with one of my straight razors. I got really into this routine over the summer but got out of it a bit but I find it very therapeutic so must force myself to do this every day again.
Christmas pizza day in the office. Better make sure I have plenty of NR in the pen

9.7 this morning for me also. But, today I am not too bothered, coz last night my musician friends and I had our pre-Christmas shindig and I had a blast playing tunes, singing a few songs and drinking more red wine than is good for me. Definitely in Christmas mode now. 🙂
Seasons greetings one and all!

Good morning everyone
BG 5.4 seems typical for me right now
Yesterday we had a practice for the carol service, the oddest practice I have ever had (just 2 of us), but at least it went well. Lugging my heavy keyboard downstairs and to the church and back (I had a lift) made my hip very sore and yet this morning it seems much better! Not complaining!
I am presently refining (fiddling with the code and interfaces) a media selection App that I originally wrote a few years back. A relaxing thinking activity (for me).
Today, rest, more carols practice, and pizza for tea.
Have a great day today whatever you are doing.

Morning
4.8, managed to get some presents wrapped yesterday, but ran out of labels. Todays plans decorate a couple of Christmas cakes, maybe marzipan another one or two, wrap up more presents once hubby gets home from work with more labels, might even go through some left over Christmas cards and cut a few bits out to use.
@eggyg - sorry to hear about mil, I know she has been a pain, but very worrying for the family now.
@Eternal422 - sorry to read of your concerns on your thread, as a type 2 on oral meds I don’t feel I can offer you any sensible advice other than to push for keeping your insulin if that is your preferred choice.

Good morning! Woke to a 7.1 a while ago as had early doors supermarket delivery (only slot I could get this week - it is as if the population doubles for Christmas although one driver told me he thinks half of what he delivers will end up as food waste/landfill!
No appointments today. Yesterday although Patient Transport actually did everything in a timely manner the Podiatry session was concerning! Very mixed emotions at the moment but will update https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/threads/my-poorly-leg.106990/page-14 in a day or two.
Lot milder but very cloudy.

Thank you. After a sleepless night I now wonder at the wisdom of trying Metformin yet again when 5 years on it did nothing to bring my HbA1c down, in fact it went up in that time from 71 to 144! More questions for my DSN before deciding on doing any changes!

6.1 today somehow after a restless night, only falling into a fitful sleep after 4am, all thanks to the bombshell from my consultant suggesting a trial of Metformin and Dapagliflozin, stopping insulin! I’ve started a thread C Peptide Results about my worries and fears around this, it’s helping writing it down and sharing.
Just had a phone call from the diabetes team at hospital in response to my request for a face to face appointment with my DSN and they have fitted me in on Monday Dec 23. I’m so grateful they are genuinely caring and helpful. I need to prepare my list of questions and worries for then!
@eggyg - so sorry to hear about your MIL, hoping things improve.
Congratulations @Colin g on your HS!
Have a good day everyone!

First morning reading for a while was a 5.3
Last day at work, then two weeks off. During which time I need to try to do some music for a film that I made as a teenager getting a release on blu-ray, and continue on a novel I'm writing about a killer mycelium.
