Group 7-day waking average?

@Kaylz Forgot to wish you a Happy Diaversary. Hope you had a stable day of BG levels to celebrate and the DF didn't visit.
Did you eat anything out of the ordinary to celebrate?? I know "out of the ordinary" is difficult for you with food but just wondered if you had tried anything different.... apart from the LIdl chocolate. I can't manage anything stronger than their 85% and prefer the 70% but it is nice chocolate. I seem to remember trying the sour cherry and chilli from Aldi and rather enjoying it but don't shop there very often and forgot to get some when I eventually went back. I usually go in for their Nut Bars and Apple Cider Vinegar but they haven't have any in stock the last few times so I haven't been back. Will be interested to hear what you think about the cherry and chilli chocolate.

@Ditto Sorry to hear you have been poorly again but good to see you back. Hope you are feeling better soon.
 
Morning all,
A 5.6 this morning!

Blessings Snowwy
 
Delighted to get a 5.3 this morning! I love it when I get good, consistent, consecutive readings!
Went to bed on 9.4 with an upward sloping arrow and no insulin on board (other than morning Levemir at 8.30am) and my exercise from the day did the rest. Libre graph shows I peaked just over 10 and then a slow steady decent. It brought me down 5 whole mmols!

Taking my old Freelander for it's MOT this morning. It is 20 years old so hoping the list is not too long! It only does about 1000 miles in a normal year and probably done no more than 200 this past year but I need it to deliver manure, harrow the fields and pull the horse trailer for the odd time I take one of the horses somewhere. That means a lot of standing around in the meantime which is never good for vehicles. Wish me luck!
 
Morning all. 8.1 this morning
 
Morning chaps and chapettes. 🙂 9.2 here...who nose?🙄🙂

Hope you’re feeling more relaxed this morning @freesia. Your Head sounds great. Take care. 🙂

Off to see my mum today - haven’t seen her for a couple of months because of restrictions. She’s extremely resilient, always upbeat, even tho she’s on her own. She keeps the whole family going!:D
 
Morning all it’s a 5.2 HS for me today.

Off early doors on the bus to a private podiatry appt in town, hoping it goes ok and puts my mind at ease. My high risk podiatry is a phone review in a week?!

Have a lovely time with your Mum @Bloden what a relief to be able to see her🙂

Hope everyone is doing as well as possible, right how many masks & gloves for the bus?😱
 
Good morning. 6.4 today. Auntie’s funeral this afternoon, not really looking forward to that. No hugs, handshakes, or even a gentle touch on the shoulder. What strange times we’re living in at the moment. :(
Congrats @Flower and @Robin on the HSs.🙂
 
Morning

No I haven't had a lie in (I wish)

@Flower and @Robin congratulations on your house specials!

@rebrascora no I didn't try anything different for three reasons, 1 - Tresiba is in adjustment, 2 - I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days and 3 - my contraceptive injection is due today so all have had me running a little higher than I'd like, I'll do my contraceptive in an hour or so so that will be one thing out the way (thank goodness I'm on the self administering one these days), it's my birthday on Sunday though so we'll see, might just be a treat of a PB chunky kit kat though or the bar of sour cherry & chilli, my mum likes it so I bought her a pack too, we don't get to Aldi's these days either but my grandad was through in the town where it is on Saturday with a friend who needed to go to Specsavers to have her glasses fixed

So despite that spiel about running higher I'm confused as to the 3.7 I woke to at 5:26am, never mind, 3 glucose tabs and an hour later I was 4.8 before breakfast, stonker of a headache now so a nap may be tried for after dinner
xx
 
5.3 for me this am. 🙂
Just missed joining @Flower & @Robin HS special step. Congrats to you both.

My best waking BG this morning of 4.6 at 05:56 🙂

Jumped on the scales and weighed 16st 8.6lbs giving me a BMI of 29.9 So, I am no longer classified as officially clinically obese whoop whoop 🙂 🙂

A long way to go to move from officially overweight to normal but I am going to do it!!!!
 
Congratulations to @Flower & @Robin for their House Specials!🙂

09:53 BS 7.3. Can’t hang about as I going up to the hospital later to pick up the heart monitor & come straight back. Cook & eat breakfast first. Thank goodness wind has abated a bit: still very stormy about an hour ago when going to the toilet!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day!😉
 
And a 5.1 for me this morning. Been in a Zoom call since 9am so a full on day of joy for me!

Who watched Nigella last night? I can’t be the only one who thinks of substitutions whilst watching cooking telly. Can I?!

Thanks @Bexlee . You're right, its definitely all bonkers atm!!! I can't remember things, get stressed when i can't get things done. Its just a build up of everything. The Head was great though

Really pleased that you have a supportive Head. I hope that the rest has helped, and if you need more time don’t be afraid to ask for it. I know it can feel like you are putting pressure on others but you need to look after yourself. You are too important and valuable not to.
 
A 5.5 this morning, after a correction in the night as I forgot to deliver for those crisps that were calling out to me whilst watching the last ever Poirot.

Congrats to @Flower and @Robin on your HS.
Well done @adrian1der on your progress. Great to find that what you are doing is paying off.
Enjoy seeing your Mum @Bloden . She sounds fabulous

I finally worked out how to share an early recording of the song I have written about living with T1, which we are now singing with choir and plan to record properly ‘when all this is over’
Here's the shareable link for The Best That I Can recording: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Kpm7BwO-EjwfiFgv6UjNOqoscSguQs9n/view?usp=sharing
It is the first composition I have ever done and I am enjoying learning all the music theory around it.
Off to do some work on the piano accompaniment.

Have a good day one and all.

I can’t abide Nigella, sorry! She has a liquorice box for Gawds sake! A bit fake for me. Looking forward to Mastechef: The Professionals tonight, my favourite version of the show. After GBBO of course.
