Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone.

BG 5.4
BP high

Been overly busy of late. Today preparing for the Sunday service

Have a great day today whatever you are doing
 
Morning 6.7.

Not been a good night. Care home called at 1am very politely saying if you want to see your mother you’d better come now. He phoned his brothers and went. I stayed awake until 4.30, finished my book and started another one. Ate an orange Club. At 4.40 I decided I’d best try to sleep which I did until Mr Eggy messaged me at 6.30. Mother still hanging on. His brothers have left, they’ve agreed it could be days so doing shifts. One brother back at 8 the other 12. Mr Eggy doesn’t think she will be much longer, she’s very peaceful now and has stopped fidgeting. He says it’s not pleasant but they’ve kept him in tea and biscuits. I’d better get up now and get ready just incase it’s soon. Lots to organise.

Have a good day.
 
Morning a 5.5 for me after a gentle decline and a cereal bar before bed.A unicorn as well so all good on the BG front.
Did not go out for lunch yesterday just a lazy day as have a busy week so taking to relax and watch TV.
Taking 2 of dogs to their “ holiday home” to ease load at home whilst am away and a trip to North Cheshire this morning and then just prep for week.
Have a good week all
 
Good moaning! Just iin the amber at 10.1 after a bad night. Woke just before midnight with Phantom Pain worsening. Finally got back to sleep to wake at 3:00 with lower back pain then again about 4:30. Somehow my remaining leg was over the side of the bed with my hand (having gone to sleep) trapped under my lower back! What with all the aches and apins, a few nasty spots and mouth ulcers I feel generally run down.

Early doors Podiatry today.

Weather unchanged. Cold, dank, grey and miserable.

Sorry to hear this take care.
 
6 on the nose this morning.

Not much planned today. Just a usual shift in the office after a few days off. DeWalt with all the urgent stuff whilst I was loping around at home anyway so not much to catch up on.

The boy has a bad cold on his return from Italy. I fear I'm fighting a losing battle getting him to school.
 
Good morning 6.2 today

I did get woken up @3am as the Libra decided my BS was going low
a few JB’s (after a FP test) and back to sleep, work today as usual

Had some fat monitoring smart scales delivered yesterday, look forward to seeing what they decide

Happy Monday everyone 😎
 
So sorry to hear your news @eggyg - such a difficult time to navigate through :(

7.2 this morning after a fish and chip fail and mid-teens for most of the night. I’m going to have to work out a new strategy for Deep Thought to do better. Which may involve just never having them again.
 
Morning all. 5.2 here.

Lots of info to absorb this week on the Omnipod 5 before next week’s start day. I’ve done the “Onboarding” - a bit of a weird term cos there was nothing to take onboard. They love their pointless terminology these big companies!

((((Hugs)))) to you all @eggyg.
 
A 5.6 for me today. 🙂

Dez
 
Morning all. 8.8, had some wierd dreams last night, one very vivid.

@eggyg thinking of you all.
@Bloden congrats on the HS.

Today i have the dreaded jeans shop. I'm hoping i can do this quickly as i hate going in and out of changing rooms constantly.
 
Morning all and 8.1 for me.

Review at the surgery this morning. As it's a group practice run by Modality there were no appointments at the local surgery so I'm off to Skipton. I'm not too bothered but would be a bit of a drag for someone without transport.

Have a good day everyone.

Hello everyone - grey again but dry.

6.0 first thing. It's now 10.9 - having risen slowly and consistently since I ate brunch at 12 noon, despite bolussing ahead a good 45 minutes and accurately carb counting for my fish finger sandwich. I'm plagued by after-lunch spikes.

Have already done a pile of ironing, stripped and re-made the bed. I'm now going to relax with a phone call to Insulet to complain about the pod I only had on for 12 hours and I don't think it was giving me any insulin as BGs rose to over 22. Relax - who said relax? I hate doing those phone calls.

I've only seen Swan Lake twice, once at Sadler's wells and the 2nd time in Moscow at the Kremlin Theatre (a grey concrete auditorium sadly lacking in any charm whatsoever) We had good seats in the stalls, but having arrived there via Anchorage, Alaska (8 hrs time change from London) and Tokyo - crossing the International dateline I was pretty shattered. At the end I said to the First Officer who I was sitting next to "Odd performance, the swan didn't die!" He replied "Oh she did, but you were asleep and snoring at the time!".

Ah well! @Cliff H I was gobsmacked that no one seemed able to see that she was simulating sex and given the places (by the lake in full view of everyone) and the era, it was pretty shocking! Though they were all like "Oh poor dear, she's having a fit"

Have a good day what's left of it folks! We are off to a friends' for dinner and a game of Carcassonne with other friends.

I remember going to a pretty explicit performance of Midsummer Nights Dream at the Regents Park Theatre, it was an amazing setting for the play and then read complaints that it was too overt for the school groups that were being taken. Shock horror. It was in the early 70ies
 
Good morning everyone. It was a 4.7 for me earlier on this slightly less grey day.

Have a great day everyone and stay well.
 
Morning all - 7.4 here this morning. I start my Nutrition/Exercise online coaching today so wish me luck. @eggyg sending lots of love to you, Brian and all the family xxx
 
5.1 today for me.

Just got a trip to my parents this afternoon, otherwise nothing else planned for today other than trying to get my GP to add BG test strips back onto my repeat as they expired last year. Just goes to show how few I now use having the Libre.

@eggyg - thinking of you all. It must be so hard going through this time for you all.

Congratulations @Bloden on your HS!

Take care everyone!
