Group 7-day waking average?

Thanks Northerner 🙂 I'm glad the scans are over- for now.

The cramp brought tears to my eyes and a few very choice words as my toes are fused into their sockets and I have nothing to wriggle to try to relieve the agony 😱
 
Good morning all 6.7 here
Wishing you good luck for scan results Flower Hope you don't have to wait too long

Ooh! That must be horrible 😱 I often get cramps in the arch of my foot and it's agony! Fingers crossed for the outcome from the scans 🙂

Have you tried squeezing the area between your upper lip and nose to alleviate cramps? Grab it and squeeze hard until cramp subsides - it works for me perhaps 90% of the time when I have cramp in feet or calves. No idea why it works, but may be similar to the way vets and farriers put a twitch on a horse to calm them (loop of rope round their upper lip which is then twisted).

It sounds daft, but definitely worth trying.

Sounds like one of those distraction pain things - I have been told that pressing on the eyes with the flat of the fingers (not hard! 😱) can distract from pain elsewhere.

Aw, poor you, Flower. There's nothing worse - I also find that the f-word clears it up nicely!🙄
 
Morning, 5.7 today so looks like the emergency honeycomb club biscuit supper was the right answer....plus it was yummy 🙂
 
Good morning A surprising 7.1 today.
Nice work Kooky Specially the club biscuit Yummy 🙂
 
Club biscuits still exist?

Morning all.🙂 7.5 here.😛

Going to a local cheese festival today...mmm cheese.🙂
 
Oh yes the club is still alive and kicking with new flavours and everything, I like the orange best, followed by mint, but this new honeycomb one is really rather nice too. I generally dislike biscuits but put orange or mint in there and I'm sold. I didn't dare buy the mint ones because I'm craving some mint crumbles or peppermint creams, and I doubt my ability to resist, even peppermint tea gave me the cravings 😱 I'd even kill for some soft mints at the moment, and the sugar free spear mints aren't doing it for me...grr

Enjoy the cheese Bloden, I do love a good cheese (preferably with a glass of red, olives, sunshine and some walnut bread with butter, slurp):D [skulks off to the fridge to see what cheese is in there for lunch with the gin soaked olives and a honeycomb club]
 
Good morning 🙂 a 5.0 for me today.

A cheese festival sounds a whole lot better than just a triangle, enjoy Bloden 🙂

Honeycomb Club sounds pretty tempting KookyC, especially with its anti-hypo powers.
 
an unprecedented 10.9 for me this morning! Serves me right for not doing things properly. I had an odd day yesterday, I did a lot of painting and decorating, and felt a bit hypo before tea, which I treated by having a couple of crackers with the glass of Cava OH pressed into my hand, then we ate later than usual because OH was watching the football, and I had an unusually carby meal. So I was 12.3 at bedtime, having left it til the last possible moment to test, because of eating later, to make sure I didn't have any insulin on board, but it was probably not late enough. I was 12.3. so I did a correction dose of 2 units. I did stir briefly at 3am, which I know is my usual 'low ebb' time, but wasn't sufficiently awake to get up and test. I didn't have any hypo symptoms, which I normally get. So I assume the 10.9 was a rebound figure. Note to self, test properly in future!
