Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. A nice, steady 5.6 for me. Its -1 feeling like -5 outside and today is the first day this week i don't have to go out anywhere, well at the moment anyway. The cold sore is steadily spreading in huge lumps down my chin again so hopefully the meds kick in soon.

Congrats on the HS @MikeyBikey despite the bad dream.

Happy Birthday @Robin. I hope you feel better soon.
 
Happy belated birthday @Pam123 and happy (non-belated) birthday to @Robin - hope your cold goes away and you can enjoy your day!

@Gwynn - good to see you back, take care of yourself!

@eggyg at -5.2 you’ll surely need your Big Coat when you go out!
 
It was a low 4 for me this morning and no evening Levemir (a reduction of 3 units) but still needed 2 separate jelly babies overnight following a fairly long walk in the snow yesterday which definitely makes it harder work. Oddly I started the walk on 8.3, held fairly steady for the first half but then ended up at 10.8 3 hours later at 4pm with no food in my system since breakfast, so basal must be a bit low if anything, but then the tail end of my morning dose dropped me overnight. Not that I mind being a bit low overnight and I definitely sleep better low than high.

Happy Birthday to @Robin but really sorry to hear you have come down with the lurgy and are feeling rough. Hope you pick up as the day goes on and are well enough to enjoy some of your special day.
Also belated birthday wishes to @Pam123

@Gwynn Good to see you back. Hope you haven't struggled to put your bin out in vain. Our bin day is Tues and I had to drag it a 200yards along the lane on Monday night which was challenging in the snow but it hasn't been emptied yet. Think the bin lorry drivers are out snow ploughing and gritting instead. I have left it out in the hope that they will come eventually.
 
Morning a 4.4 for me but a bit of a cheat as I did do a 1u correction in the wee hours as my level had been about 8 and I wanted to reduce it before DP.
Stayed low and had to have toast to keep me happy but had a good sleep.
Went out for a Chinese meal last night with friends and it was a lovely chat but atmosphere was funny as we were only ones in restaurant and it was like a cafeteria but food was decent but not worth going again.
Anyway the roads were a bit icy but I drove slowly and it was nice to pick our friends up so they could drink.
The meal was a belated Birthday treat from my wife who insisted on paying the lot but as our besties insisted on at least paying for the drinks it worked out OK but no matter as we all just happy to be in each others company.
We have freezing fog so not sure about venturing into motorway but will decide later.
Anyway have a good day and stay warm and safe

Good morning! Woke from a violent dream to a HS and downward arrow (45 degree not vertical(. Having a small snack the back to bed as early doors physiotherapy.

Cloudy and very cold. BBC said snow on its way so might need skis on the wheels! :rofl:. Limb Fitting has a picture of a one legged snowboarder but took it down as most of here struggling to walk!

Waiting for transport. I didn't check when the alarm went and I got out of bed but when I did it was 6 4 ("Will you still need me? Will you still feed me? When I'm 6 4").

Now have snow (~5mm) and weak wintery sun!

And 20 minutes ago I got a message to say Patient Transport cannot take me today! (Grrr emoji). Surely they must know earlier instead of leaving me waiting like a lemon for hours?!
 
Good Morning, I've surfaced from all my Christmas NY naughties 7.2 this morning to be expected. I think I would really like to be a fruitarian but alas ..... may not be good for BG
I had delicious not BG friendly breakfast of porridge, raspberries and blueberries with ground linseeds heated in the microwave, then added yogurt, coconut milk and mixed up together, delicious. Had to put some fuel in the body to meet the cold icy snow when I ventured out to check bird feeders.
Have a great day everyone, sunshine and cold here, got me some thick cosy thermals for temperatures below 3C :D toasty warm
snowiceJan2025.jpg not as bad as Jan 21 🙂
 
Happy Birthday to all the January babies :D :party: <3

Congratulations to all the happy low / lower BG folk :star::party:

at -5C Mikey I think you are better off in the warm. I expect your roads are treacherous too.

Arctic thermals I have on eggy :D soooooo cosy
 
Afternoon all - for once it's sunny and not raining here. (No @Lisa65 you are not the only one without snow!).

Was woken at 1:45 to tell me that the insulin in my pod was down to 20u. Turned over, thinking I'd never use that amount overnight. Was woken again at 6am to tell me there was only 0.7u left in the pod???? Didn't think too hard about it, just changed the pod and went back to sleep. On reflection I think I must have dislodged the cannula as I was running high all afternoon and evening so using a lot more insulin which was going nowhere much - certainly not into me! Later when I woke again c. 9:20 I was 7.9.

Off for my B12 injection at 2:40 and then a quick visit to the cinema to book tickets for Nosferatu for next Thu afternoon and home to cook chicken and kale stew with mash - leftover celeriac and potato mash from last night. It involves green lentils and goodness knows what else inc. Butternut squash and there's no carb count on the recipe... we'll see. Will have to weigh all the elements.

Happy Birthday and many more of them @Robin. Hope you feel well enough to have a small celebration later this evening.

I used to work in them - anything up to 12 hours on my feet! My feet are in much better condition these days!

Have a good day all....
 
Good afternoon everyone! 11'9 for me at 5 am, down from 19 at bedtime. Was a bit too cautious with the 2u correction, but I never know, I've had occasions where 1u brings me down 6 whole mmol so didn't want to risk it overnight.

I've finished an insulin cartridge this morning. I believe it's the first one I use up until the last unit, instead of chucking half in the bin after 2 months out of the fridge. It looks like my good luck/ extended honeymoon is over and I have to actually do the work. Well, at least I don't feel like an imposter anymore when I say I have Type 1! :D
 
6.8 for me
not well flu bad
