Group 7-day waking average?

Morning all. 6.2 here before breakfast, but had to nurse blood sugar for much of the morning, due to the fact that I had a glass of wine too many last night (kind of a stressful day yesterday, not made any easier by a flaky G7 sensor).
 
Morning bit of a high one this morning with 8.8

Ive been reducing my insulin down from 8 to 6 units as GP suggested, same GP that thinks I could stop taking insulin

Have a Terrific Tuesday 😎
 
Good morning! Touch high at 9.3.

Got to Podiatry yesterday and once cleaned up it looked very slightly better but amount of discharge was considerably reduced compared to last week. Finish antibiotics later today and hopefully muggy head will clear although better than it was. Another swab next week if it has not improved but will chase harder for results and no excuses! 🙄

Cool, grey, light rain!
 
A 6.1 for me after a very disturbed night's sleep. :(

Morning all. 8.8 for me. Its forecast rain here all day and it has been constant since i got out of bed. Looks like it has been all night as well.

@eggyg when mum went to register step dads death she was given something (i can't remember whether it was a form to fill in while there or a telephone number). Either way, she gave details of my step dad and the government agencies etc were all notified through that altogether so she didn't have to sort it all. It might be worth Mr Eggy asking about that, it would save a few phone calls. Sorry i can't be more specific. If i speak to mum today i'll try and find out.

I'm off down to a friends house today for cuppas, chat and craft. She only lives down the road so i walk there. I'll be drenched if this rain keeps up! Have a good day whatever you are doing.

Wow Barbara, that was very helpful thanks! I wouldn´t expect it would be hidden behind the Professional options, I agree that´s silly. I see there is also some sort of bolus calculator, I kind of understand they would want a professional to help setting that one up, but the half units?

Anyway I´m happy I can use them now. Look at us, all rebelious, pretending to be health care professionals. Like teenagers lying about their year of birth to enter some websites :rofl:

Some of us are old enough that we’ve never needed to do that as we didn’t have the interweb around before everything we could get up to was legal!
 
Morning lovelies!

5.4 for me this morning. Absolutely smitten with the Dexcom One+ so far, the anxiety has definitely gone, absolutely magical.

Got a text from GP surgery yesterday saying to make an appointment for my bloods (which were due on 31/1) so checked Patient Access account and there was no appointment.
Called surgery, Receptionist said she'd get a task through to the Nurses, rechecked Patient Access...27th February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been back on to them so waiting for another appointment now, otherwise I'm assuming all of this starts again with a new HbA1c and retest 4 weeks later?? :(

Hope you all have a super excellent day xo

That’s the Tell Us Once service.

You are given a unique number from the registrar and you log in with that on the website or call them up and they notify all government departments. It’s very effective.

Thats the one. I know mum found it useful.
 
09:00 BS 7.2 🙂 Was fairly flatfish in the 6’s overnight & rose a bit in the last hour before waking

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Caught up on The Traitors US season 3 on iPlayer: the first 5 episodes were put up on Friday & new episodes again this Friday! Also, new Death In Paradise starts on Friday! 😛

Also, been watching on Amazon Prime AND you need to get an extra subscription for Crunchy Roll as well Spy X Family the most original Japanese Anime series I’ve ever seen! 😱😛 Agent Twilight, the greatest spy of the nation of Westalis, assembles a fake family in order to infiltrate an elite private school, not realising he recruited a psychic child Annya and a legendary assassin Yor also in need of a cover family. It’s set in a fictional Berlin during The Cold War when it was split into two sides by a wall! It’s hilariously funny as Annya is only 5 years old, loves watching a spy cartoon series Bondman & recused a clairvoyant dog that can see the future & it became part of the family too called, of course, Bondman! So, this strange contrived family of extraordinary talents do spy missions all unbeknownst to each other: dad Loid Forger, aka Agent Twilight, & mum Yor, aka assassin The Thorn Princess are on opposites of the East West divide of nations: Westalis & Ostania! I’ve never seen anything like it! There have been 2 seasons, 25 & 12 episodes, & a movie so far & season 3 is in the works! I saw it on P & CR some time ago & it’s now available to buy on iTunes which I DID buy & rewatching now! :rofl:😱😎😛
 
4.3 after a low alarm at 3.9, all following an over correction for a high of 8.9 in the middle of the night. I guess I should have left alone and not meddled!

Good news yesterday - Dad’s scan revealed no clot, and the doctor said the swelling was due to poor circulation, understandable as he is not mobile and so the fluids collect in the lower legs. She did prescribe some steroid cream and moisturiser to help with the dermatitis that is another result of little movement and poor circulation.

I think this episode has brought it home to Dad that he can’t manage getting around and he felt very vulnerable when we got him to the car and around the hospital. Luckily he already has a wheelchair so we were able to get him around the hospital fairly easily. But most of the time he just uses a zimmer frame and hangs onto furniture around the house.

Over to them again today to receive the freezer delivery and set it up for them. My daughter is going over tomorrow and she will put everything into the new freezer once it has settled and reached temperature.

@eggyg - seeing your tentative date of Feb 17 makes me realise how lucky they are in Ireland - my wife’s cousin died last Friday morning and his funeral was on the Sunday. I think that makes it easier on the family.

@Pam123 - hope you get things sorted soon!

Take care everyone!
 
6.9

Weird day yesterday. Had an IAPTS assessment call for EMDR or other specifically trauma focused therapy and it went well but I found myself withdrawing somewhat in the aftermath. Also had a resurgence of the trifecta of visual, olfactory and auditory flashbacks which isn’t pleasant.

Couldn’t concentrate on anything much and the weather was awful so I thought I’d bake.

I low carbified a salted caramel chocolate nut tart and it’s disgusting. I had a piece last night but couldn’t finish it so the whole thing is going in the bin. I’ll whip up a traditional Jewish/Polish apple cake instead as I can do that with my eyes shut and it’ll salve that baking itch.

When I want to make something and it goes awry somehow I feel I need to make something else or else the failure just looms large and mocks me.

Today I’ve a bonkers busy afternoon. Olivier Awards induction thing (they sent the rules around yesterday and I’m not allowed to mention to anyone that I’m on the judging panel apart from close friends and family so welcome to the family you lot!) and I’m not allowed to post comments on the things I’ve seen either. Or that’s what it looks like from my reading of the contract. I’ll have that clarified later today.

Immediately after the induction I’m off to https://queerbritain.org.uk/ for a Volunteer Information Day. I applied to be a volunteer as it sounded interesting and a bit different and it’s only a few minutes walk away.

We’ll have to do a presentation on “anything you like. Really we do mean anything no matter how bananas you think it is.” So I’m doing one on bananas!

That is 2-5 this afternoon and then I’m hot footing it to Covent Garden for 6:15 when I’m meeting a friend I’m taking to see Aida. It’s his first opera. I’ve already dragged him to see his first ballet but this is the first time at Covent Garden.

I’ll be knackered by the end of the day especially as I decided to fall asleep last night listening to a quiet, peaceful, charming audiobook. Dracula. That didn’t help!
 
@Eternal422 Try being Jewish! Friend of the folks (with the bungalow I mentioned the other day) died on the Saturday evening and was buried the Sunday afternoon. We don’t like hanging around!
 
Morning

5.1 today, going to see mum later as I will be going both ways by car, got to fit in some exercise into the day as weight loss is slowing down, if necessary I will go up a does of my jab, but I know exercise also improves my mood.

@everydayupsanddowns definitely was right about doing the “sadmin”, that’s exactly what it’s like. It’s never ending and it’s also the last thing you feel like doing, still lots to do. Bank, insurance company for example, and of course all the government agencies, there’s just one number for that so that’s a relief. Babysitting Eden will take our mind of it all for a short time

Yep. It’s the very time when you’d LEAST like to be given the job of running around multiple agencies and filling in forms in triplicate. :care: :care::care:
 
Morning everyone. A 6.1 for me today after a very restless night.
 
Morning all and 4.9 for me.

Prob off to Bradford later to the big Tesco there. They have some interesting stuff in.

Rehearsal tonight. Could be a frosty one with no one knowing if our guitarist was hacked on social media or was just a total plinker to put it politely.

Have a good day everyone.
 
5.7 on yet another wet and miserable Berkshire morning, although it is starting to brighten up. The storms brought down our garden fence and we found it leaning against our neighbour's garage yesterday morning. Spent the afternoon cutting our honeysuckle down to the ground so I could get to it and this morning have managed to get it leaning the other way, against our summer house. Fortunately the panels are intact so it's just a question of getting the posts (maybe new ones) back into the ground and fixing them in place. Neighbours are away so can't do much until they're back as they have some sort of creeper growing all over it their side.

Our youngest fractured his collar bone playing football 3 weeks ago and got signed off work until tomorrow. Not sure what Tesco plans to do with him when he goes back as he works on replenishment and the fracture clinic told him that he mustn't try and lift anything for a few more weeks.

Swim before lunch, as usual on a Tuesday. I made a NY Resolution to work up from 20 lengths to 30 lengths by Easter and am on 22 so far.

Have a good day, your weather permitting.
 
woke q 3am to a rotton headache/hot sweaty bg 3.9 treated
Staff tested at at 802am bg 8.5 (b4 breakfast) guess i over treated still better that than the other way
You all have a good day

Oh! The first season of 25 episodes of Spy X Family is also, available on Netflix: if you have a Netflix subscription; give it a go before getting Prime & Crunchy Roll for the second season! It’s very expensive to buy on iTunes but, I knew I would watch it multiple times! Nobody’s got a clue about each other in the family except for Annya who reads everyone’s minds &, in the case of Bondman the dog, sees its visions of the future. Annya keeps trying to get her mum & dad to avoid the disasters Bondman sees doing things differently until the dog sees a happy ending! :rofl: The movie is only available on iTunes & is set after Season 2.
