Group 7-day waking average?

Morning a 6.4 for me and a good line after the normal Friday Pizza and managing the insulin with two after doses as low going into meal and don’t like taking any insulin before a meal if 5 or below and dropping as be quite sensitive to the insulin.
Yesterday was lovely with water back on and had lots of hot drinks and heating on as house was so cold from day before.
Quiet day planned and about to have a nap after walking dogs which we missed out in yesterday so wind down to Xmas though am working next week but TBH is very pleasant.
Have a great w/ end
 
Good morning everyone

BG 5.4

Blood pressure slightly raised...

Yesterdays practice went well. Today two more home practices and then the 'big' practice at the church this evening before the carol service tomorrow morning. I am slightly nervous.

No decorations in our house... no sign of my daughter. Sigh

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
8.5 today. A little higher than I would like however I'm still getting used to how different foods/carbs affect things.

Off to the sister in law's today and she always cooks a mean roast but will involve such delicacies as mashed butter and cream with a bit of potato and a killer dessert so no idea what I'll need!
 
Morning all. 7.1! That’s a bit high for me. I can only think it’s because we didn’t eat until 8pm.

A bit of disjointed day yesterday, unexpected visitors at 11am. Our “ French” family who are home for the festive season. They brought us a hamper of French goodies, including a string of fresh pink garlic. I always buy it when we visit them, it’s just the best garlic ever, knocks our supermarket dry and foisty stuff into a cocked hat! ( What exactly does that mean?) I was very excited and it has pride of place in my kitchen. I’m very easy pleased! They didn’t leave until after 1 so lunch was late then Mr Eggy had to dash to the hospital for the afternoon visiting slot. Daughter number 1 said the girls would be coming to stay. Their other grandma brought them just before 6. They had leftover lasagne for their tea but we weren’t hungry as we had a late lunch, and TBH I’d picked all day as I was baking/cooking for tonight. I was in bed just after the girls at 9.30! Two youngest granddaughters ( 3 years and 10 months) coming after lunch to stay the night too and we’re having our “works” Christmas party. The employers outnumber the employees! It’ll keep our mind off other things. Brothers in law taking over the visiting this weekend, Mr Eggy been everyday for 10 days. They need to up their game. :(

Have a super Saturday, hope you’ve all got your presents bought and wrapped and can relax a bit. I wouldn’t like to be battling the shops and or supermarkets today. In all honesty it might be a doodle compared to battling strong willed granddaughters.😛

Good morning! Lay in as another disturbed night. Woke to 7.0 that became 8.2 FOTF.

Last couple of cards as ran out of stamps but search uncovered some 1st class with King Charles's mum that weee cheaper than his 2nd class ones. It was last chance to edit supermarket order for Christmas and I forgot eggs - not the Easter ones than will probably appear Friday! :rofl:

Looks like snow clouds but too warm (8C)!

morning all
only 4 sleeps till Santa comes
6.2 for me
you all have a good day
 
Morning

A slightly higher 6.2, think I am coming down with a cold, also had pizza for tea yesterday which I have not had for months. I have to go to the supermarket today, well I will do if hubby ever gets up as he needs to leave for work at 12.30. I might go to my k it and natter later but depends how bad the rain is, and I still have 2 Christmas cakes to ice and decorate, but as they are for my mum and daughter in law, I have time left to do them as I will give them to them when I see them Christmas Day.

Congratulations to @MeeTooTeeTo on your HS.
 
I woke up at 8.8 this morning after a marathon sleep from 3 p.m. yesterday until 7.15 a.m. - a long time for me.

We're supposed to be going for a xmas meal today, but I don't make much of the strong breeze here - I get very breathless in the gentlest of breezes, so I'm not looking forward to getting anywhere near the coast today!


Congratulations to @MeeTooTeeTo on today's HS.
 
4.7 today for me.

Had a pleasant evening at the local amateur radio club last night, just chatting but good to catch up with folks again. It helped improve my mood around all of this uncertainty at the moment.

House cleaning today and not planning on venturing out.

Congratulations @MeeTooTeeTo on your HS!

Hope the promised winds aren’t too bad for everyone today.

Take care folks!
 
Good morning 6.6

I’m meeting some friends for breakfast today
most likely this will be a carb laden mountain he will have delivered, rather than my usual breakfast, which would’ve been berries, and greek yoghurt (or a protein shake) there’s several of us invited so I might just pick on a few items & drink coffee coffee.

have a Superb Saturday everyone 😎
 
Morning all - no change in the weather.

6.8 this morning. I was woken by the PDM alarm at 8:15 which told me that I had an "Omnipod 5 app error" and said if it happened again to ring customer services. It sounded a bit dire and as it was the 2nd time it happened I was somewhat disturbed and couldn't even think of going back to sleep. Bit annoyed as I had not got to bed until gone 1am due to watching "Girl with a dragon tattoo" on TV rather than catch-up. To cut a long story short I rang Insulet and for once got someone who could speak reasonable English. It seems the error is not as dire as the warning and it's the pod rather than the PDM and I might have had to remove the pod, which is due to be changed this morning anyway. I wish they wouldn't put the frighteners up you!

Anyway, last night's chicken, leek and bacon pie was delicious, especially the suet puff pastry... am chuffed to bits to have found the pastry recipe! We have half the pie left over for dinner tonight.

It's a big day in Penzance today, being Montol - or the celebration of the winter solstice. Lots of parades with lanterns and flaming torches after dark and madness and foolery taking place all over town with people in weird outfits . We're going to meet our friends in town this afternoon. We will watch our friend singing in her choir outside the Turks Head pub at 5:30 then I think we will come home and avoid the crowds.

@eggyg I so envy you that garlic, the stuff in the supermarkets recently has been dire. I also wish you a lovely party this evening and I am sure that as usual you will love having the granddaughters overnight. Glad Mr eggy doesn't have to visit hospital this weekend as MIL has other sons taking the load off him.

@MeeTooTeeTo congratulations on the HS.

Have a super Saturday everyone and most important have fun!

Which club are you in? I've tried a couple but club life isn't for me hihi.

At least not local clubs. I'm in a few national/WW CW clubs and also G-QRP which are good fun.

But yes, getting out and doing stuff is always good.

Fingers crossed you get the outcome you want from all of this. Sounds like your DSN is onside at least.
 
Morning all. A 5.9 for me and an unusually steady line.

Nothing planned for today. I shall be up and out early tomorrow to get my veg/cream etc but we don't need much ad its just the two of us this year. It will feel very strange.

@eggyg the garlic looks amazing. I've never heard of pink garlic, does it have a slightly different taste?

@PattiEvans the ceremony looks good fun. Have a good time.

@Bloden pupdate pics please.

@MeeTooTeeTo congrats on the HS.

Have a good day everyone.
