Group 7-day waking average?

Oh no, @Hazel , I love seeing your HS, anybody’s: it’s SO nice to start of the day perfectly; wake in range & it usually bodes well for being in range the rest of the day! 😛

The diabetic journey isn’t always easy & smooth so, got to note & celebrate the little victories along the way!🙄:D😉
 
We’re off to North Devon next month and plan on doing some of the SW coast path. I ordered a guide book yesterday and it’s expected today, looking forward to reading it. Have you read The Salt Path? It’s a true story about a couple who lose their home and decide to pack up their belongings and do the path, the hubby also has an incurable health condition. Very inspiring, at times, other times I wanted to give them a slap! Enjoy your holiday.
The book was loaned to me by a friend, with much enthusiasm. I found the story inspiring but I found the writing plodding, and too much about we went here then here then along here, and not enough about the people they met. I am relieved to find someone else who does not go into total reptiles about it.

Whereabouts are you staying? We are going to work our way round the coast from Ifracombe, fills in a lot of gaps that we have in our map.
 
Your autocorrect scores again! Brilliant!!
I really should check. I think I will leave it there for other’s entertainment. They can work out what I meant to say.
Yes, all is well thanks
Just thought it was annoying some people my good results, so I took a back seat, but I will pop back in from.time to.time.
Miss Mike and the cafe
nothing but celebrations to hear how well you are doing Hazel.

I’ve just replied to your PM! We’re staying in Clovelly so not a million miles from Ilfracombe I believe. We haven’t stayed in a Devon since our honeymoon 40 years ago, we stayed in Torquay that time. Travelled through it on the way to Cornwall a couple of times. We won’t be doing all the SW coast of course, we only have a week! Thought we would maybe do Westward Ho! to Clovelly and then Clovelly to Hartland Quay. All depends on the weather of course. Re the book, I really think they could have been more organised and eaten better, it was a wee bit self indulgent in places and I really wanted to give them a shake, but it did pique my interest in the path. Have a great holiday and let me know how you get on.
 
@Gruers , glad all went well

@SB2015 and @eggyg , i hope you both have a good holiday. Enjoy the SW coast path, its beautiful. We are doing it in chunks but as we only get there once every year or two, its going to take us ages!
 
Thanks @SueEK , @Kaylz & @Anitram 🙂

A happy day for me, marred only by the fact that I am now in the "at moderate risk" category regarding the big CV. 😱
 
As dark as winter here, but 12° so could be worse.

Checking in with a 5.2
 
Morning all,
Congrats @HenryBennett on your HS!
A 5.4 for me... 🙄 even after yesterday's afternoon tea at the Grand hotel Eastbourne! It was lovely but we brought the cakes home !

Car service and MOT today, hopefully not an arm and a leg.

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning

I'm having to do everything early today as mums putting the charity shop first so I'm not in the best of moods as it's always me that has to change my routine to suit everyone else, levels really suffering with it too :confused: my diabetes likes routine but nobody takes that into consideration

7.4 today

Have a nice day
xx
 
Good morning. 5.9 for me this morning. I'm very glad its Friday, its been a loooonng week.

Have a nice day everyone x
 
Morning all. Dull today. A unexpected 6.9! I had a very low carb day yesterday, not intentionally, it was just the meals I’d planned. Maybe not enough, who knows? Usually babysit on a Friday and this week was the first week with just the baby as other two at school, but I received a snotty phone call from daughter last night saying she was probably going to take the day off. Both girls and her are full of cold, three days at school and the seven year old came home with it, passsed it on to baby sister and mum! She has a dry cough just because she can’t breath and doesn’t think her colleagues or customers would be very happy if she starts coughing and spluttering all over the place and she doesn’t want to put me or her dad at risk either. I think she should have a test but she is 99.9% it’s just the common cold as she has a very runny nose. It makes you think though, all the extra precautions they are taking at school and already there’s a tummy bug going around and some pupils are off school with that and a few off with the cold! In a small village school that’s quite significant. Of course this is making me more anxious than I already am. Ah well, at least today will be a bit more peaceful than our usual Fridays. Have a good day everyone. 🙂
 
Morning all, 6.7 here. Six of us from our exercise class are having a meet up for a socially distanced work out in a garden today, as the church hall where we normally hold it hasn’t reopened yet. Despite my best intentions I haven’t been keeping up with the stomach crunches, so this could be mildly embarrassing (though I expect everyone else will be the same)
 
but that's off the back of a rough night following a severe stomach upset yesterday evening so no surprise really.
I hope you feel better soon, just a few weeks ago I had a full fortnight of an upset tummy, surprisingly my levels were quite good considering I felt bloody awful, was also off my BP meds for that fortnight as your supposed to stop them ones in episodes of that xx
