Group 7-day waking average?

Haribo do not sell JB's in Spain although they do sell all of their other products. I actually telephoned them to ask why and was met with a rather sniffy woman who told me that they did not market JB's in Spain and that the reason why not was their business and no one elses, then she put the 'phone down.
 
Hi all. I'm very late posting today, its been one of those days today and i'm glad to be home.

It was a disappointing 9.3 for me this morning, after being 100% in target for the last two days. The reason i think is because i had a snack with a glass of wine last night. My DSN tells me not to bolus for the snack as the alcohol brings it down so i didn't. It didn't work for me. I've noticed that if my levels are 4s or low 5s i can have a snack with a glass and not bolus. If its 6 or higher and i don't bolus, then i have high levels overnight and a higher breakfast reading. I've tried a few times now and always get the same result.

Anyway, i hope you've all had a good day today.

Ah that's odd as my Spanish friend that's just moved to the UK said they had had Haribo jelly babies whilst still in Spain xx
 
I often use the mini bags of Haribo starmix or tangfastics etc for pocket-based hypo treatment. approx 12g a bag I think, and work very similarly to JBs for me - just need a bit more chewing!

Oooh, i never thought of those. I used to love tangfastics. I usually use jelly babies or dextrose but a small pack of tangfastic is portable enough for my bag
 
I was confused there for a minute, came in halfway through to talk of unicorns. Thought I'd got the wrong forum... Fairies R Us or something. :D

7.5 @ 7.12am rotten night again, keep waking at 3. Stressed. Mum is pre-diabetic now like my brother. Good grief, what a family. I'll be the one in charge of her diet. Words fail me. Plus the doc on the phone said she should get more activity. Mum is stuck in a recliner or wheelchair so good luck with that then. 🙄

They do get a bit sticky in warmer weather (mini packs of skittles are more pocket-proof).

The ‘party pack’ bags of mini bags give a selection of different Haribos - gold bears, starmix, tangfastics and more!
 
A 5.3 today. A minor issue with my car (reversing sensors) so am taking it back to the dealer. I’ve not checked the weather yet, but have a good day.
 
Good morning all. 4.7 for me today. 🙂

Morning

After a shocking day yesterday of being higher than I care for I'm very pleased with this today

Bruce had a Morrisons delivery last night, had to refuse all the subs, juice that was for my mum and the 2 boxes of cat food, Bubbles boo's tummy doesn't handle in gravy too well so its a good job we've still got a couple of in jelly boxes left

Have a nice day folks
xx
 
6.5 this morning and another early (for me) waking.
Eventually my body will realise it needs more sleep and I will crash out.

Congrats @Kaylz on the HS.

A busy day today of Pilates, gardening (prep for planting a tree) and lunch out.
Trying a local cafe with very widely spaced tables. Still nervous of it.
 
Morning all. 6.1 for me today.
Congrats on the HS @Kaylz
Enjoy your lunch @SB2015
Have a good day everyone. Last sunny one before rain tomorrow

It doesn’t have to be Jelly Babies. Any sweets containing more than 70-80g carb and hardly any fat will do the job. Spanish kids eat tons of sweets. Interview a few abuelos to see what their grandkids snaffle! 🙂

Morning all. 3.7 here. I’m all over the place at the minute - hormones!:D

Apparently, today’s the last dry day for a while so we’re off to explore some woods and a black pool. There’s exciting!🙂
 
Morning all. 6.8. Bit of ground frost today, looks bright but chilly. Off to daughter number one’s today to help her do some sorting. She’s just finished decorating the girls bedroom and I’m going there as the ruthless one, ie getting rid of unwanted/ broken toys and tatty/ too small clothes. She’s a hoarder and isn’t good at throwing things away! Have a good day.🙂
 
@Michael12421 I've even been tempted to buy flumps/marshmallows to see if they work nicely, I believe Vidal are a Spanish manufacturer of confectionary and they do marshmallows xx
