Group 7-day waking average?

5.5 this morning after a big hypo in the night. No logical reason, except that I had been feeling very pleased with good levels over the past four days, and that pesky DF heard me say so!!

Nice to hear things are improving and good levels @Michael12421
Welcome back @Gruers

Had four days with a group of weavers looking at what we had all done since March. So inspiring.
Now I just need an extra 12 hours in every day to find time to do all the things I want to develop.

Have a good day all.
 
08:04 BS 6.5 🙂

Yesterday’s blood tests were for the usual diabetes checkups & Hba1c which I hope aren’t too bad?🙄 Also, finally picked up my replacement spare BS meter since I’ve only had 1 for a couple of months now after the other one stopped working: that little niggle in the back of my mind in case I’m left with no meter at all if the only one I had gave up the ghost too is relieved; these new meters don’t seem to be anywhere as long lasting as my original meter I used for 15+ years & still works now but, my GP practice stopped funding the test strips as being too expensive! It really does seem that in this modern age now things aren’t made to last as things made in earlier times but, technology moves SO fast now & people want the latest newest things as well!🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats on the HS
@Gruers so pleased to hear you are feeling well again
@HenryBennett those are still excellent readings
Well a 6.6 for me today. Very busy week again and glad to not be in today. Off down the caravan again for a relaxing few days, hope to catch up with my friends there.
Don’t forget to turn the clocks back this weekend.
Have a good day x
 
I don't know what I did yesterday - if I did I would do it again as I got a 5.4 at 06:06 🙂
 
5.6 and COVID test results all negative. Think I may have had a deleted reaction to the flu shot perhaps.

Anyway, I’m off to John Lewis to replace a blender which broke and for which the replacement part is perpetually out of stock.
 
The optician tells me that I am never going to see clearly. She is going to do the best that she can but it will not be much.
I will have the new gasses next week. If I am not able to drive then life here will be unsustainable and I am feeling pretty down.

The one 15 years old maybe would not be up to the current standards which were upgraded a few years ago. I got a new meter earlier in the year by calling the meter company.

I’m very sorry to hear this disappointing news. I hope she can help by way of glasses but only you will know what improvement they make :(
 
4.7 for me today, which I am very happy about.
Just run along to the surgery to pick up my first prescribed Libre. They wanted to give me a 7 litre Sharpsafe to go with them but no way of carrying that whilst running! I have been dismantling them and removing the battery and needle, so told them I will just continue to do that.

@Michael12421 What a relief to see you getting a string of good readings recently but very sorry to hear that the optician will struggle to improve your eyesight and that may make your existence there untenable. I can imagine you must be extremely worried. I too will be keeping my fingers crossed that things are better than you have been led to believe.

@MeeTooTeeTwo and @Anitram you make these House Specials look far too easy. Well done.

@Northerner Looks like the DF found a ruler and used it whilst you slept. Amazing! Send her my way if she still has it and wants to use it on someone else. Unusual for her to play nicely!

Very sorry to hear this Michael, hoping for the best possible outcome for you {{{HUGS}}}
 
Morning all,
A better 5.5 this morning.

Take care out there...
