Group 7-day waking average?

@Kaylz . There is good and bad in everything. Yes, you are right when it comes to diabetic care - there is little or none. On the other hand one could always get a doctors appointment in about 24 hours providing that it wasn't a week-end. I never waited more than 8 days for an exploratory x-ray, or an MRI scan. The doctors in the hospital were always prompt, attentive and caring. The 'nurses' on the other hand were warders, their only job was to administer medication when prescribed at the appropriate time - they refused absolutely to help in other ways, dressing or undressing, providing water, providing blankets if you were cold etc. That, they said, was the job of your family or friends and is accepted by everyone. I don't have family and only one real friend but I can't expect him to come to the hospital to fetch me a blanket. This latest problem is in my view a breakdown in communication between my doctor and the ambulance service. It is annoying in the extreme but it is the way that things are done here.

Morning all. 6.4 @ 5.43am. Pleased with that and surprised with my being crook. Batten down the hatches folks.

Anyone got a joke to cheer us all up?

You want a joke?
I can do jokes.
Buckle up and brace yourself.

I had a knock at the door this morning.
It was a really small man.
He was around 100 cm tall.
He said he was the meter man (thank you Absolute Radio).

Oh yes. That's the level I'm aiming at.

Here's another.
I have a diabetic friend on a special diet who only eats Red, Blue and Green food dye.
He's Type Hue (this one is my own work).

I'm very proud of those jokes.
I absolutely shouldn't be.
And yet I am. :-D

Thanks for the joke @Snowwy - it was terrible hahaha! I feel MUCH better now. Teeeeerrible jokes @pm133 - don’t give up the day job. 😳

It’s like you’re describing a different Spain from the one I used to live in @Michael12421 - move oop north, if I were you! I hope your doctor has an explanation - and another appointment - for you. (((Hugs)))

Too late for today, but for another occasion:

You could have driven - the old advice which many still quote (easy to remember!) is "5 to drive". But if you look at the letter that comes with your 3 year licence, it says between 4 and 5, you can drive so long as you have a carby snack.

The "do not drive" is below 4. If you are below 4, you may not drive until 45 minutes after you have reached 5.


A guide to insulin treated diabetes and driving (INF294)
Ref: INF294 PDF, 212KB, 6 pages

So, if between 4 and 5 (and obviously feeling OK!), grab eg a biscuit (or maybe 2 if a longish journey?) and go!

Thanks @silentsquirrel, thats useful to know. I've always worked on the 5 to drive rule and have sometimes panicked if i've got to be somewhere and i'm dropping below 5. Its been one of those days today anyway. I wasn't too late getting to work and levels were lovely all morning. Then had unexpected activity after lunch and had a hypo which decided to be very stubborn about going back up and stopped me from driving home at the normal time. Oh well, i got my jobs done after all while waiting.

Would you believe me if I said that writing jokes was my day job? :-D

Sorry but NO lol x

@freesia it must be the day for it ! 3.8 when I was about to leave for work - it’s a 45 min drive - to do a few bits before the kids arrive and then as I was ready for home 4.3 and dropping. Got home eventually. Thank goodness we get 2 days out of a classroom!

The DF definitely found us today!!

And of course you would be quite correct but I won't lie - I am crying myself to sleep tonight at your cruel words. 😛

 

[eggyg]

I’m glad ‘annuals’ didn’t undergo a dodgy autocorrect!

Morning all.🙂 6.5 here.

Boo hoo, missing friends and family in lockdown areas - anyone else feeling down? It seems to be affecting me this week. Anyone got a joke to cheer us all up?

I was thinking of you yesterday and wondered if you were affected. It’s pants isn’t it? Anyhoo, here’s my favourite jokes, courtesy of Tim Vine.
I'm thinking of selling my Hoover. It’s just gathering dust!🙄
I farted in a lift. It was so wrong on all levels! 😱

A dark Saturday morning with rain forecast later in the day.

5.6 for two days on the trot.

Enjoy the weekend.

 

[eggyg]

Morning all you layabouts. Get yourselves up it’s 6.21! 😱 7.5 today, might have been the chippy tea, who knows?😉 I had just walked 11 miles around Derwentwater, so I think I deserved it. Back to wedding planning today. Hence why I’m up at this Godforsaken hour. Got a list as long as my arm, TBF that’s not very long as I’m only 5ft 2ins and have very short arms and have to roll up all my sleeves. It’s a long list though, maybe as long as Richard Osman’s arm. Have a fab weekend, it’s gonna be wet up here.

 

[Kaylz]

Morning

Very cold start to the day but no rain, YET, will get the heating on shortly!

5.7 for me this morning

Have a nice day folks
xx

 

[HenryBennett]

maybe as long as Richard Osman’s arm

And hands the size of dinner plates! I’m a great fan of RO - and he’s a lover of cricket to boot.

 

[miguel81]

Good morning - 4.8

Morning All, well it's a 6.4 for me this week a bit higher than normal

Hahahaha, great jokes @eggyg. You just have to mouth the word ‘fart’ to me and I giggle, I’m so childish. You’re right. It’s pants for everyone atm. We’re not in a local lockdown here in Pembrokeshire, so I’ve got nothing to complain about!

Morning all. 🙂 8.2 here...oops, that’ll be last night’s quiche from Morrison’s. No carb count on the packaging. Looks like my guesstimating skills are rubbish!

Enjoy the weekend folks.
