Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. Woke to a "not as bad as yesterday but still annoyingly high and has been all night again" 10.4. Yesterday i managed to drop level and stay in target all day with corrections. Its typical, i've done ok over the last couple of months overall but my blood test is next Tuesday and they go haywire. Oh well!

It snowed a fair bit overnight here but has now turned to horrible drizzly rain. I shall be staying home this morning and trying my new quilling tool then we have the cinema late afternoon.

Have a good day everyone, be careful if you have to go out
 
Good morning everyone. 6'4, and 90% TIR. Yesss!

Unfortunately I think that's partly cause I've been poorly the last few days and didn't feel like eating much. It started with coughs and a sore throat, then I had a slightly high temperature and a nose running like a tap. And on Friday my period joined the party. All in all, I didn't have a strong desire to leave my bed.

I've been using the generic remedy of paracetamol and lots of water, and spending all my time off at home, including the whole day yesterday. At least I got some reading time and completed some pending tasks on my computer. But I hope to get better for tomorrow because I need to do laundry and get some groceries. That's the problem with being ill as an independent adult. Where is my mum with her chicken soup!? :(😛

Good morning all. It's a 6.1 for me on this snowy white day.
 
6.3 here and surprisingly several JBs required overnight to keep me out of the red despite eating 4/5ths of a Belgian bun just before bed with a cup of tea, which I didn't have time to prebolus for. I fully expected my high alarm to go off not long after getting into bed on 7.6 and Ian and I were guessing how long it would take. I was closer with 5 mins but was absolutely gobsmacked that it was the low alarm and not the high!! I reluctantly ate one JB as I was convinced I would be high later but it never happened. Graph shows a surprisingly straight line in the 4s all night until just before I woke up when DP set in, so each JB must have been gobbled up by basal insulin or muscles as soon as I ate each one.
Woke up to a good 4 inches of snow and the snow ploughs are out there trying to deal with it and creating huge mountains of snow on the grassed areas around the village after clearing it off the roads. It is perfect snow ball, snow man and barricade building snow. Thick and sticky and pretty of course.
 
5.4 and a flat line all night of between 4 and 6 again! TIR 96%, AG 6.7

We had a thin covering earlier but, pretty much all melted in the gentle but persistent drizzle. I wonder if Mrs SS will be able to get down the Manchester on Tuesday, or will the roads be icy again?

Trying to tweak my breakfast to allow a few strawberries together with the Greek yogurt and the blueberries, seems to have given me a small unicorn today???
 
Good Afternoon ‘twas 5.3 on waking this morning

here we had a sprinkling of snow overnight, although what was left when I looked out the window earlier was more like a heavy frost than a white carpet, It still looks very cold outside

Great pictures of Barry Island @Eternal422 - I always think these holiday destinations are better visited when the hoards of holidaymakers are not holidaying.

@Leadinglights loved the stained glass snowman <3:star:
Last lazy lay-lay-in of this holiday season for me today,as Mrs @goodybags is BTW tomorrow @7am
I always run her in to work, I’m off work for one more week myself following my recent eye surgery, which I’m recovering well from (no pain etc) I can’t believe how many drops I’m needing to do (3 courses up to 4 times a day) so good that I’m off work

I’ve been watching a-lot of content on YouTube whilst I’ve been off, yesterday I discovered on there TruckerTim, suprised I had never heard of him before, then again I hadn’t really followed any content creators before until recently


Have a Super Sunday everyone TC 😎

Indeed! Barry Island was amazingly busy (1st 2 photos) but Cardiff Bay was a lot quieter (second 2 photos). Used to go to Cardiff Bay quite often, but last time was before Covid and sadly some of the places there have now gone or changed ownership/business. Luckily the Fabulous Welshcakes shop is still there though!
 
Just non-stop rain, but not as heavy as it was yesterday. We got thoroughly soaked walking 200 yards to the bus station with a stiff wind blowing the heavy rain right in our faces, drenching our trousers. Got home and had to completely change clothes. Apparently the stream opposite our house overflowed later in the evening, just 50 yards downstream where it goes underground to it's outlet on the beach. It flooded the hotel car park and the road, but thankfully no ones house.

7.7 this morning. Depressingly familiar! I was so tired I had gone to bed just before 10 and slept through to 9:30.

Today I've been slaving over a hot stove, making a large shepherd's pie with a sweet potato and feta topping for tonight and some for the freezer. Hope it will be tasty. The fish we had last night was terrible... it purported to be "beer battered cod", but finding the fish was difficult... not a patch on M&S 's offering of the same name (as recommended by @Gwynn!). I left half mine.

Hope everyone has a pleasant evening.

Looks like it was a great day out anyway which we all need sometimes
 
Good morning/moaning! After a decent day yesterday with zero pain woke around 4:30 to the sensation of a knife going through my left (absent foot). BG had shot from ~8 to 11.1 but with FOTF and painkillers dropped to 9.4! Going back to bed when it has eased a bit more.

No appointments but Self Assessment to complete. But first I need to regain access to an account as too many failed attempts despite the UserName/PassWord working two weeks ago! Also have to sort out overlapping appointments.

After saying No Snow yesterday it started and then settled (about enough to stop the trains when I was commuting ~25mm whereas when work took to Switzerland in the nineties trains ran with around 2m walls of snow either side) only to have gone a few hours later. Via kitchen window cloudy and mild.

7.8 this morning. The abasaglar is keeping things steady overnight, but it's still a tad higher than I'd like it. Got my phone appointment tomorrow with the practice nurse and the DSN. I've already emailed last week setting out my reasons for requesting a bolus insulin, so we'll see what happens. Working again today, getting really tired now. I think my oppo should be back next week.
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning 5.8 today

I’ve a Podiatrist appointment this morning

Happy Monday everyone 😎
 
Morning all. 5.7 after a much better bit of sleep last night (better between 2:45 and 6:30 anyway as I did a sleep meditation and that sent me off to the Land of Nod).

Didn’t venture out at all yesterday as being in central London we had so much snow here that the entire transport system closed down, pigeons fell from the sky with frozen wings and the Thames froze solid. In other words we had approximately three flakes of the white stuff fall before it decided to rain all day.
