Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning everyone! 6'5.

It´s cold but sunny out there, like seems to be the case for most of you. I have no plans until the evening but I feel I MUST get out of the house and go for a walk. Trying to decide where quickly so I don´t waste much more time.

I completed my part of the referencing forms last night, now waiting for the referees to answer whatever questions the agency sent to them. The credit check is okay, which is a relief. I don´t have anything to hide but sometimes I had issues with "there is not enough information about your credit history".

Tonight I am going to a Japanese restaurant with the girls from book club and I am really looking forward to it 🙂<3
 
IMG_3437.pngIMG_3438.png11:33 BS 10.7 After I finally went to bed after last scan at 02:20 BS 11.9. I’d hope it would drop some more as I slept but, not by much!

A Very G’day Mates to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

I spoke a bit too soon as my dinner mountain last night was strange as well as I went up then, down, & stayed high for quite a few hours before it slowly started to come down & I was sitting on my hands NOT pitting in more NR to see what happens? Here’s the complete graph of yesterday & today’s so far:-

And, DP has already started 12:22 BS 12.2 So, I SHOULD eat & get NR in BUT, I really feel crampy & my stomach is in knots! I can’t face the thought of food never mind eating it!

I’ll keep scanning & hopefully the basal, in at midday, helps with BS. See if the cramps go & try to eat when I can?

Might have leaky brakes. Just had to top up the brake fluid. Wait and see and keep checking the levels.

That is something worth looking into a bit more. Apart from the obvious vehicle safety consideration, brake fluid is nasty stuff, can be very corrosive so you don't want it leaking onto an internal car component surface, to corrode something that might result in a big bill - nor onto your drive, from where it can be transferred into a domestic flooring surface.

Although there are pipe runs from the engine compartment to each wheel's brake parts, these seldom leak other than at the joints or connections on the inside of the wheel with the actual brakes. If a pipe has got fractured somewhere along the run, these tend to leak badly and obviously - so are quickly spotted and usually the stored reserve empties very quickly. Try and peer inside each wheel and see if there is an obvious dark / wet zone. Or get your normal servicing centre to do a one-off check.
 
@Lanny You do know that you can inject a correction dose of NR without eating anything don't you and then just inject for your food later when you feel up to eating? It would give those high levels time to come down before you eat.
 
@rebrascora Still after my hospital stay in July 23 my insulin resistance means that most of the time insulin on its own without food doesn’t work: I just wobble for hours on end & without libre I couldn’t see that; why I ended up in hospital after I injected a MASSIVE dose of NR after a day of not eating & desperately trying to get high BS down that I was lucky to wake up the next morning! I didn’t have libre then & BS just seemed stuck but, with libre I could see that it goes down & back up; I just didn’t catch it when it went down testing fingertips! It’s why since then I at least correct high BS with a biscuit & prefer waiting until the next meal to correct most of the time!

I have eaten some cuppa soup now when DP hit the 13’s &, admittedly, guessed NR at 28 BS had peaked at 21 ish & on its way down! Keep an eye on it as 28 was a guess!
 
6.2 - at least it's dropping day on day. Had to get the wife up as she had early support coming, mine arrived via the chemist a while after. Then had a Dr's appointment on the phone this afternoon.

BGs have remained steadfastly high (9.2) until a couple of hours ago. I had a keto lunch followed by a piece of garlic bread and a dose of insulin. BG steady away at 7.4 atm.

We've got another appointment at 6pm this time on the otherside of town, should prove interesting.

Congratulations @Grannylorraine & @a live on your HSs.

Hope everyone is keeping warm this cold and bright day.

was really interested in hearing from some of our club members about CW and how when proficient you recognise whole words rather than translating individual letters.

Not so much reading (I find reading CW really really hard as I have only ever listened to it and very rarely write anything down), more like speaking a second language fluently. There comes a point when you are only subconsciously aware of the dits and dahs and words just appear in your head. A chap called Chris Rutskowski likens two experienced CW operators chatting to each other as the closest thing to telepathy you can get - you're almost planting thoughts in the other person's head.

It's a bizarre experience the first time it happens and it takes a fair while and *lots* of practice to hit that point. After nearly 3 years and nearly 4500 CW contacts I am just about getting to that point! I love it though - I haven't worked another mode since 2023 and then that was only for a few extra points in a contest so I could qualify for my special contest call

Morning all. Hope everyone’s good.

7.2

Feeling a bit out of sorts last few days and levels have been running high. The two are probably linked.
 
Morning all. 6.3 here. Switching over to new G7 sensor this morning, so fingers crossed it will not have the same 'lost signal' issues as the current one.

Morning after having a huge dollop of mash with evening meal had to do take a 2u correction before bed and was in 5s most of night but 5.5 when first woke up,8.2 when actually got out of bed with bit of DP and 7.3 a few minutes ago after back from walking dogs so take your pick.
My TIR had ticked up to 99% but then my relapse spoilt it 🙂.
WFH today which suits me fine and maybe a local trip out as not decided yet. I have a cheque to pay in which happens about twice a year so may have a trip to my local branch in the next town rather than just pay into the ATM.
Anyway w/ end soon so have a great one.
 
Morning Friday folks. Score on the door, 6.4. Very frosty, that means a lovely sunny and crisp day again.

Yesterday turned out to be a Comedy of Errors. We managed to get to our hair appointment ok, but realised Mr Eggy had forgotten his suit for the cleaners, he flew back down the M6 while I got “cooked”, he’d had his number 2. We went into town, parked up, then realised we’d left the suit in the car, back to carpark. Eventually got suit in the cleaners whilst I went to the butchers. Got the tea on the way to our favourite cafe for our lunch, I happened to mention his mother’s bank, weren’t we supposed to pop in to close the account? Of course, no death certificate or ID with us, he’d left his wallet at home with his drivers licence in. We popped in but they gave us short shrift even though Mr E was an additional card holder as he had an LPA for his mother. Appointment for next Thursday. Done a few more bits and bobs, toiletries etc and drove home. Put the shopping away, lit the fire when I suddenly realised we’d forgotten to go to the funeral directors on the way home to sign a form! Honestly, our brains are mashed at the minute. Funnily enough we didn’t forget the nice things we went for! He emailed funeral director and apologised and he’s going in this morning. We did laugh TBF, and we just keep saying, it’ll be all over soon and we can return to some sort of normality. Although we don’t do “normal” as you know! 😳

Quiet day at home, for me anyways, cooking and laundry is the plan. Mr Eggy wants to get in the garden after he’s been to do his funereal duty.

Have a fab Friday.

We bank with the NatWest and on the very rare occasion we receive a cheque we just have to take a photo of it on our banking app. And voila! It’s paid in. Blooming amazing. But obviously that’s why all the branches are closing, we don’t need them anymore.
 
Morning all. 8.2. I'm meeting an ex colleague this morning for a coffee and catch up. Looking forward to that as i've missed working with her, we used to have a giggle.

This made me chuckle, my infantile humour.
 
8.2 for me have been out of sorts last few days with cold can that affect BG levels?
You all have a good day and take care love to all
