Group 7-day waking average?

Afternoon all - well, it's been dry all day with sunny intervals, but a cold breeze.

10.8 this morning, though I'd been in the 13s most of the night due to corrections a bit after midnight when the alarm went off. I was in a deep sleep and it took a while to realise it might be a false alarm and there was something wrong with the sensor which had detached itself from it's backing adhesive. Most odd, the filament was half in my arm still. Anyway had to wake myself to change the sensor, which had about 6 days to go.

Not doing anything much today, just lazing around despite it being my birthday. Tired after yesterday's entertaining and already celebrated last weekend when we were in Exeter. Also it's hubby's birthday tomorrow and we are going out for lunch. Neighbour came round first thing to invite us for dinner on Thurs and then another friend came round with a card and the most beautiful white orchid and a card + wine and a card for hubby.

Had about 1/3rd of a lukewarm jacket potato + a slice of smoked salmon and a hot cross bun for lunch (odds and ends found in the fridge) and am now 21.1 eeeek. Just corrected!

Happy Birthday to @Barrowman
Congratulations on your HS @Gwynn

Hope you are all having a lovely day.
 
Good morning everyone.

If the HS was anything but 5.2 I would not get many and yet today, again, sorry, it is 5.2 at 5am. Can I have a gold star please. I am amazed because I ate a chocolate Easter egg yesterday and had pizza for tea.

Just completed recording a song yesterday. Probably the best recording I have ever done. Recording is hard. It is pretty much guaranteed that everything in the universe will go wrong as soon as you hit the record button. So it usually takes hundreds of takes (for me) and yet this song took just 5 takes to complete.

I played back the final result and I almost fell off my seat. I sounded like Rodger Whittaker!!! I kid you not. It is the first time I have ever liked my own singing voice.

Yesterday a special office chair arrived and it took both of us to put it together!! It wasn't difficult just that the main parts were very stiff and awkward to align and screw together. The result is really good and ideal for my wife as it goes much lower than normal office chairs and is way more comfy. Good for when she is doing her craft work. I am trying to create a complete room for her for her hobbies.

Hopefully, today, a special keyboard stand will arrive for my wifes keyboard. Again it will go lower than normal keyboards specially for her.

I may just rest today (fat chance) as my hip is giving me some trouble.

Have a great day today whatever you are doing.
 
Good morning. 6.8 on second go - the first offered 14.3! Orange juice contamination of finger hopefully.
Looks like another nice day so far. Plumber, electrician, platerboarders and neighbour coming today so that will make up for 3 days isolation. Fortunately saved from unremitting day time tv by library on kindle.

Managed several wobbly stands of a few seconds each on left leg yesterday while clinging to chest of drawers and wheelchair - working on getting a leg to stand on before trying crutches. Physio coming on 1 May so having to make up exercises until then.

Off to wave a sponge at accessible parts - oh for a nice hot shower...

Hope everyone has a good day. Belated happy birthday to @PattiEvans and @Barrowman.
 
Morning and a 5.9 on getting up for me and no highs in the night.In fact yesterday my BG level did not go very high despite some morning Cake at the 2nd of our 3 Garden Centre visits.
Bought a small Tree Fern as well as a tall Jasmin and then had our much bigger Tree Fern delivered which had been overwintered at another Nursery.
We both had Hot Chocolate with our cake and I had just fruit for Lunch as have a lot in at the moment and my breakfast was all berries.
Quiet afternoon and evening as wife was out so just looking after dogs but looking forward to this week as feeling optimistic at moment.
Have a good week.
 
Happy birthday for yesterday @PattiEvans and @Barrowman

My BGs have been all over the place since arriving in Turkey, probably due to erratic meal times, differing amounts of exercise, warmer weather and a certain over indulgence in treats. However after a low carb tea of aubergine kebab last night I was woken at 2am by the low glucose alert (3.9) which despite two glucose tablets stubbornly refused to go up. So I had to go and eat a banana, once it finally reached 5 I went back to sleep. This took about an hour. Woke up with a 5.2 and a headache just now.
We are going to the dog sanctuary later this morning to visit the old boy who I have sponsored for years. I always pay him a visit when I come out and take him for a walk.

Happy belated birthdays to @PattiEvans and @Barrowman

And happy birthday to J for today too @PattiEvans

6.1

Not had a HS in ages. I think @Gwynn you’re hoarding them all!

Off to the docs this morning to be jabbed with a needle or two. Not to be confused with heading to the docks and finding a prick or two, this is fasted blood test as part of the investigation into what’s up. Of course I’m hungry this AM as well but I’ll cope.

Afterwards I’m heading straight to the V&A and the Cartier exhibition. I’m expecting sparkles galore.

C’est tout.
 
Morning all Hope you all had a good Easter i did last night i ate a whole bar of 85% chocolate This morning my BG was 8.5 (hangs head in shame)
You all have a good safe day

These things happen. I read on the forum how others break up chocokate some for the day and store the rest for another day. Alas, that measure of control doesn't appear in my DNA!

thats what i do normally but last night i was on a mission
 
Morning all. 🙂 7.9 here...less said about that, the better.

We had a nice relaxing weekend at my Mum’s. There are some fab walks from her house - cliffs, beach, woods all in one walk. Perfect! Caught up with my bezzie too - she’s in the middle of having a tooth implant so has a mouth full of stitches and is fed up of vegan baby food. She was trying hard not to laugh but gave up in the end.

Today...we’re hanging pictures...and then I’ll be hovering up the dust. Our walls are made of some kind of black rock that’s as hard as kryptonite - not looking forward to it but the job needs doing!

Happy Tuesday folks.
