Group 7-day waking average?

6.5 today. Have the hygienist later so depressed mode coming on. Having bloods done next week and master bedroom carpet also being fitted next week, wasn’t expecting that before Christmas, yippee.
@Michael12421 good to see better readings.
@ColinUK can you please stop hogging all the HS’s lol
Hope all those who have been feeling low are a bit better and brighter.
Have a good Remembrance Day. I always remember my wonderful grandad who was blinded in WW1 in Ypres at the age of 19. Bless them all xx
 
5.7 for me this morning. 🙂

Morning all,
5.6 again today!

A 6.0 for me this morning at 06:06 on another grey and dreary Berkshire morning.
 
09:44 BS 9.8. But, in my defence I have a cold. There’s no emoji’s again on the text box bar, which looks different this morning! I think changes were made in yesterday’s 20:00 website maintenance? So, a rare frown emoji from me. My BS has been steadily climbing since Monday, actually & the little bit of drizzle under the roof of the hospital entrance didn’t help: wind still blew some drizzle on me. Only managed 1 extra minute for a total of 6 minutes on Monday & yesterday’s 6 minutes after I got back with the monitor all was SO tough I almost gave up up at 3 minutes but, pushed on & heart rate went up to 210! Munch’s Scream emoji! My resting heart rate yesterday was around 100 all day & it was around 90 on Monday. Cold was confirmed when I woke up around 22:30 with sore throat, right neck just under chin tender & coughing intermittently. Also, had a fake hypo episode in bed that the monitor will have picked up. BS wasn’t hypo low but, dropped fast from 14.3 mmol to 7.8 in 58 minutes after bolus for dinner of 40 units NR. Ate 1 JB anyway to help me feel better which put me back up to 8.5 15 minutes later & finished at 9.5 just after the 4 active hours of insulin. But, rose back up again to 14.0 when putting in midnight Levemir so, put it up to 42 & will put up midday Levemir later today as well: didn’t put it up & the same 58 yesterday as I wasn’t completely sure if a cold was brewing; definitely have now!

No hanging about as breakfast first then back to drop off the heart monitor & I may forgo my 6 minutes today or I may do less, haven’t decided yet!

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! Wink emoji!

It’s stormy again this morning this morning so, better wrap up when out today!

Morning all,
5.9 for me today.
Venturing out for food shopping today...

This is getting boring now... 5.2

I did change the needle in the pricking pen this morning as a treat though!

Also weighed myself and a stubborn flat line on my curve is clear to see. 88.2kg.

It’s difficult getting much exercise in as I’m working longer hours from home. I’ve tried setting up a jogging track in the Long Gallery but that means finding somewhere with a Long Gallery to call home first.

I’m aware that I have a tendency to emotionally eat or eat out of boredom and coupled with the gym being closed etc I know I have to be extraordinarily strict regarding any “cheat” meals or else the weight will edge higher.

Anyway.... got some job applications to complete and fire off into the ether before a chat with @Francesca DUK later about the “move more” initiative and then work.

Have a great folks and please accept my apologies for hogging the HS’s!
 
morning

self inflicted 6.3 today due to the small panic about being 4.8 at bedtime, I wish my body would just make its damn mind up on what it wants, starting to feel very frustrated with it and management :(

Well tomorrow sees us move into level 3 meaning no non essential travel, looks like Tesco's Yule Log won't be on our plates at Christmas then :(
xx
 
Morning. 7.3 for me this morning.
@ColinUK well done on the HS. I can't remember when i got out and exercised properly. Only been going for short walks due to work, weather, lockdown.
@Kaylz, i think D always throws a spanner in the works just when we think we have it cracked.
Have a good day everyone.
 
Well done again @ColinUK on the HS.

5.4 for me this morning. 🙂
Off for some early morning exercise.

Morning all, 3.7 here, on the Libre despite a half unit reduction in basal. I think it’s a sensor/hydration issue, not a real hypo though, I woke up quite thirsty yesterday and today, and my level seemed to restore to around the 6s quite quickly once I'd drunk my first cup of tea yesterday, will see what happens later. I was more than usually active for the previous two days, as I’ve got a horse on loan from the riding school two days a week during lockdown, so I’m doing all the grooming and feet picking out, and tacking etc (fortunately I’m spared the mucking out, I’m paying the stables for everything else) as well as riding.@rebrascora will know what I mean!
 
Morning all 6.9 for me today. Braved the hygienist yesterday. Had to ask her to stop a couple of times just because the air thingy was too cold and hurt my teeth, I’m such a wuss. Off to get some dog food this morning, nothing exciting.
@ColinUK I’m in awe, you are just rolling those HS’s out, well done.
Have a good one all x
 
Morning all, 5.8 today. Don’t know how but I’m taking it! We had some lovely news last night, our youngest daughter, who is expecting her first baby, found out she is having a little girl. We really are a girly family, we have three daughters and we already have three granddaughters! We do have a grandson who, along with Grandad Eggy is, and going to be more so, vastly outnumbered! We don’t have to pay for their weddings too do we? Three weddings in the last four years has already financially and emotionally drained us! Have a great day everyone. 🙂

And @ColinUK have you checked your meter hasn’t stuck on 5.2? Just enquiring as mine sticks on the sixes on a regular basis! 😉 Begrudgingly happy for you whatever.

Well Tresiba was being upped, wasn't well for a couple of days (still not feeling 100% yet) and contraceptive injection was due, I do tend to run higher when it's due so I got that out the way on Tuesday morning (sliced my finger with the needle first before administering it in my thigh 🙄) and I'm pretty sure I had the same issues with being lower for a wee bit after it last time, I'll have to check back 13 weeks in my log book and see, its great being able to administer it myself as they stopped the Depo during lockdown for many so I'm grateful I was offered the Sayana Press long before then but it seems to have a different result on my BG and its just getting tiring, I want to be able to enjoy my birthday a little in a few days and eat a bit different but this knocks my confidence :( xx
