Group 7-day waking average?

Good morning all. 5.4.

Feeling better both physically and mentally today. Stomach has been fine, doubled up on the Creon yesterday and we did get out for our walk which was very nice. I just get so frustrated with it all, I try to analyse it but it’s like diabetes, sometimes there’s no rhyme nor reason. But anyhoo, I’m not letting it control my life and stopping me doing what I want to do. I was cautious with food, no starters and only one glass of wine last night. I had fish and chips in the hotel last night, I must say they were absolutely delicious and even better than Rick’s Steins down in Padstow, I didn’t finish all of it, split my bolus and won all round. So very happy. Off home today, first we’ll stop off at our favourite butchers in Ambleside and get our usual fillet of beef, even though we’ve still got some in the freezer from December, might as well whilst in the area. We’ll have a wander round, there’s a nice bookshop there too.

@Elenka_HM congratulations all round.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all, 6.9 here. Went for my breast screening yesterday, a five minute walk down the road, Was whisked straight in, as nobody else there, in and out and back home making a coffee ten minutes later. If only all medical appointments were the same.

You obviously had a Carlsberg appointment! 😉
 
Morning all. 6.7 and a virtually straight line overnight for a change. Today i have the doctors for an asthma review then i need to call into a bank (i know, we have one open in our town!!) to try and speak to someone about transferring my account.

If i can get that sorted today, i'm off to a friend's house after for a cuppa, chat and crochet.

Have a good day everyone.
 
Morning All - 5.9 this morning. Have a good day everyone x
 
Morning

An undeserved 4.8 this morning, as Bakeclub theme was bread, I didn’t each too much but still ate some including my apricot couronne, which went a bit wrong but tasted lovely,

Pleased to announce that my granddaughter finally arrived @12.30am today, safe and well, no name yet.

@Elenka_HM - congratulations on your good news.
 
Morning all. 8.4 here. Hmmm, come on Omnipod 5, I’m doing my part, pull your finger out!

Only three turned up to class last night, and one of them had forgotten her glasses. By the end, I had them all sitting right in front of the smartboard playing a game - she could see that...just!

Ooo, there’s an all-weekend multilingual (a lot of Welsh) music fezzie happening in Tenby in March. It’s based on Other Voices (small venues dotted all over town, first come first served admission to gigs) so it’s a bit hit and miss who you get to see. Obvs, everyone’ll want to see the headliner Gruff (pronounced Griff, not Gruff as in the Gruffalo LOL) Rhys - even hubby expressed an interest (he doesn’t ‘do’ enthusiasm these days). Just waiting for Saturday only tickets to come on sale - I can’t spend the whole 3 days there. Exciting stuff!

Glad to hear your holiday wasn’t ruined @eggyg.

¡Enhorabuena! @Elenka_HM. Fab news!

Congratulations! What a lovely start to the day.
 
Good morning 5.7 today maybe ?
why I say maybe, that same sensor currently (2 hrs after waking says 11.2) a quick FP test on the BGM said 8.7 so that’s more believable maybe,this sensor is only just over 1 day old so can be inaccurate of course at the start, time for a quick breakfast my meds & im off to work

Great to see your good good news from both @Elenka_HM & @Grannylorraine

Have a Terrific Tuesday 😎
 
A 6.2 for me this morning. 🙂

Dez
 
4.3 for me and I managed to stay out of the red all night. Reduced my evening Levemir by one unit and stuck in a 1u correction after I climbed into bed for an 8.3 with upward sloping arrow which brought me down to the bottom of range and leveled out in the 4s just where I like to be to get good sleep.

@Elenka_HM Delighted to hear both lots of good news. Hope you will be very happy in the new flat.

@Grannylorraine Many congratulations on your new granddaughter.

@eggyg So pleased you were well enough to enjoy the rest of your break.
 
Morning all a fabulous day to start with a 5.2😉😉!!!
and as of now its bad with a 7.3 i guess i was so happy i could drink my coffee with my lotus cookies and put sugar in it so that's why i ended up like this now
So lets hope to get down as fast as possible and all of you should have a good day
And i hope @Elenka_HM you'll enjoy your new flat and that its not like in your dream😉
 
5.9 this morning, which is pretty good considering we ate out yesterday evening for my wife's birthday, although that's not actually until Thursday. I had chicken liver pate for starter and lamb rump for main, and didn't intend to have a dessert until my wife told me to check out the ice cream flavours. And there it was - Rum & Raisin, my absolute favourite. I usually only have that if we're at the seaside and have never seen it on a restaurant menu before. Gave in and had 2 scoops.

Our washing machine's not right as it refused to drain or spin yesterday, so this morning I need to drain it manually and get the filter out to see if it's blocked. If it's clear it looks like we'll need an engineer. Fortunately our laundry is up-to-date as of Sunday and it's only bedding trapped in the machine.

Thanks for sharing your good news @Elenka_HM & @Grannylorraine and congrats @a live on this morning's HS

Usual Tuesday swim later, and afterwards buy some birthday balloons while I'm in town.

Have a good day.

Morning everyone.

Another grey and wet day here, it’s time we had a little sunshine just for a change.

Nearly forgot it was a 5.3 for me today.
 
Morning all - another grey and dreary one!

5.8 this morning - which I am very pleased about! TIR for the last 7 days is 90%, which I am over the moon with as that is "all my own work" since I ditched the HCL. Really I have to thank Gary Scheiner - or at least his "Think like a Pancreas" book that gave me a grounding to understanding insulin therapy. Though I'm blooming sure it'll go off piste by tomorrow as these things do.

Not a lot on today. I'm making Mary Berry's Sausage and Spinach lasagna. I've made it before and it's really tasty. I shall probably look like a bag of spinach as we've eaten it 5 days running, no matter I love the stuff!

Glad to hear @eggyg was able to enjoy her break after all.

Great news from @Elenka_HM on both counts! Also congratulations on your new granddaughter @Grannylorraine .

Congrats on your HS @a live

Have a good day all....
